62-521.400: Ground Water Protection Measures in Wellhead Protection Areas

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT on September 12, 2007, the Department of Environmental Protection has issued an order concerning Rules 62-521.200, Definitions for Wellhead Protection and 62-521.400, F.A.C., Ground Water Protection Measures in Wellhead Protection Areas.

The order is for the Charlotte County Burnt Store variance petition (OGC File No. 07-0706), received on April 16, 2007. The petition requested a variance from the prohibition of construction of a Class I UIC well within a 500 foot radial distance of a public water supply well under subsection 62-521.200(7), and paragraph 62-521.400(1)(f), F.A.C. Specifically, the variance requested that Class I injection well IW-2 be allowed to be constructed within 500 feet of Charlotte County public water supply well RO-7. Notice of receipt of this petition was published in the F.A.W., on June 1, 2007. No public comment was received. The final order granted a variance to allow Class I injection well IW-2 to be constructed within 460 feet of well RO-7 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, telephone [phone].
