NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL OF
PETITION FOR WAIVER UNDER SECTION 120.542, F.S.
On May 12, 2006, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) took action on a petition for a waiver under Section 120.542, F.S., received from Ryder Partners, II, LLC, (Ryder Partners) on February 17, 2006 (OGC File No. 06-0288). The petition requested a waiver of rule 62-312.080(7), F.A.C., which restricts the Department when issuing a permit for dredging and filling in Class II waters approved for shellfish harvesting. On June 5, 2006, and July 10, 2006, the Department received a first and second request for extension of time to file a petition for a formal administrative proceeding, both of which were granted. On July 28, 2006, the Department received a letter from counsel for Ryder Partners withdrawing its petition for waiver of rule 62-312.080(7), F.A.C., filed on February 17, 2006. On September 1, 2006, the Department issued an Order Closing File, because the Departments previously proposed agency action denying Ryder Partners petition for a waiver under section 120.542, F.S., was now null and void.
