DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

The Department of Environmental Protection hereby gives notice:

That on August 8, 2013, the Department of Environmental Protection has issued an order. The order is for the City of Sunrise variance petition (OGC File No. 13-0890), received on March 15, 2013. The petition requested a variance from the prohibition of construction of a Class I UIC well within a 500 foot radial distance of a potable water well (Rule 62-521.400(1)(f), F.A.C.). Specifically, the variance requested that Class I injection well IW-1 be constructed within 500 feet of Sunrise public water supply well S-2. Notice of receipt of this petition was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly, on April 2, 2013. No public comment was received. The final order granted a variance to allow Class I injection well IW-1 to be constructed within 445 feet of well S-2 because the petitioner demonstrated a substantial hardship and that the purposes of the underlying statutes would be met with the conditions imposed by the Department.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting:

Cathleen McCarty, Department of Environmental Protection, Underground Injection Control Program, MS 3530, 2600 Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2400; telephone [phone].
