DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

The Department of Environmental Protection hereby gives notice:

That on August 30, 2013, the Department of Environmental Protection has issued an order. The order is for Monroe County variance petition (OGC File No. 13-1100), received on July 22, 2013. The petition requested a variance from the requirement to record a surveyor’s plot and other associated documents related to the abandonment of Class V, Group 3 injection wells in Monroe County in the county courthouse public records (subsection 62-528.645(3), F.A.C.). Notice of receipt of this petition was published in the Florida Administrative Register, on July 25, 2013. No public comment was received. The final order granted a variance to Monroe County residents to relieve them from the requirements to record a surveyor’s plot and other associated records of the plugging and abandonment of Class V, Group 3 injection wells in the county courthouse public records. This variance was granted 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].
