    The Department of Environmental Protections Northwest District hereby gives notice:

    On June 2, 2014, the petitioner City of Port St. Joe, for the City of Port St. Joe Wastewater Treatment Facility filed a petition for a variance under Section 120.542, F.S., from the Total Suspended Solids (TSS) compliance values for high-level disinfection required by subparagraph 62-600.440(5)(f)3, F.A.C. The petition was assigned OGC No. 14-0307 and PA File No. FLA020206-014-DWF/VO. Notice of receipt of this petition was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly on June 5, 2014.

    While subparagraph 62-600.440(5)(f)3, F.A.C., requires the TSS compliance value of 5 mg/L single sample; the petitioner requested that alternative compliance values for TSS: 5 mg/L, 7.5 mg/L and 10 mg/L as annual average, monthly average and single sample, respectively.

    On August 28, 2014, the Department granted the variance with conditions as requested based on the petitioner's demonstration that the rule would present a substantial hardship or violate the principles of fairness and that the purpose of the underlying statute would otherwise be met.
