62-522.300: General Provisions for Ground Water Permitting and Monitoring

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT on July 24, 2008, the Department of Environmental Protection has issued an order.

The order is for the Carus Corporation variance petition (OGC File No. 08-0556), received on March 28, 2008. The petition requested a variance from the zone of discharge (ZOD) prohibition for discharges through wells under subsection 62-522.300(3), F.A.C., for the use of RemOx® EC Stabilization Reagent (RemOx) to cleanup contaminated sites in Florida. Specifically, the variance requested a ZOD for antimony, arsenic, chromium, mercury, beryllium, cadmium, lead, thallium, selenium, and molybdenum within a 150-foot radius from the point of discharge for a duration of one year. Notice of receipt of this petition was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly, on May 9, 2008. No public comment was received. The final order granted a variance from the ZOD prohibition 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 may be obtained by contacting: Cathy McCarty, Department of Environmental Protection, Underground Injection Control Program, MS 3530, 2600 Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2400, [phone].
