- The Department of Environmental Protection proposes to develop and establish estuary-specific numeric nutrient criteria (NNC) for the following estuaries: portions of the Big Bend from Alligator Harbor to the Suwannee Sound, Cedar Key, St. Marys River estuary, Southern Indian River Lagoon, Mosquito Lagoon, several portions of the Intracoastal Waterway (ICWW) connecting estuarine systems, a variety of small gaps between estuaries with adopted NNC, and parameters for estuaries not currently covered by their adopted nutrient Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs), including Upper Escambia Bay, Lower St. Johns River, Indian River Lagoon, St. Lucie Estuary, and Caloosahatchee Estuary. Nutrient criteria for these estuaries were included in an August 1, 2013 report to the Governor and Legislature. Pursuant to Chapter 2013-71, Laws of Florida, the Legislature directed the Department to establish these estuary NNC by rule or final order by December 1, 2014.
- The Department is initiating rulemaking to update the Water Quality Credit Trading Rule in Chapter 62-306, F.A.C. Pursuant to Section 403.067, Florida Statutes, Chapter 62-306 was adopted in 2010 to establish the requirements for a pilot water quality credit trading (WQCT) program among pollutant sources in the Lower St. Johns River Basin. Chapter 2013-146, Laws of Florida, revised Section 403.067 to, among other things, eliminate the requirement that WQCT be limited to the Lower St. Johns River Basin and authorize the Department to implement WQCT on an ongoing basis in adopted basin management action plans or other applicable pollution control programs. This rulemaking is intended to amend Chapter 62-306, F.A.C., consistent with the statutory changes, as well as update the rules to reflect knowledge gained during implementation of the pilot program.

- On June 02, 2014 the Division of Hotels and Restaurants received a Petition for a Routine Variance for Subparagraph 61C-1.004(1)(a), Florida Administrative Code and Paragraph 5-202.11(A), 2009 FDA Food Code, Paragraph 4-301.12(A), 2009 FDA Food Code and Paragraph 61C-4.010(5), Florida Administrative Code, Subparagraph 3-305.11(A)(2), 2009 FDA Food Code, Paragraph 61C-4.010(1), Florida Administrative Code from Portable P301 located in St. Petersburg. The above referenced F.A.C. addresses the requirement that each establishment have an approved plumbing system installed to transport potable water and wastewater; that dishwashing facilities for manually washing, rinsing and sanitizing equipment and utensils are provided, and that each establishment have areas for food preparation and storage. They are requesting to utilize holding tanks to provide potable water and to collect wastewater at the handwash sink and to share the dishwashing, food preparation and food storage areas with another licensed food service establishment under the same ownership and on the same premise.
The Petition for this variance was published in Vol. 40/110 on June 06, 2014. The Order for this Petition was signed and approved on June 23, 2014. After a complete review of the variance request, the Division finds that the application of this Rule will create a financial hardship to the food service establishment. Furthermore, the Division finds that the Petitioner meets the burden of demonstrating that the underlying statute has been achieved by the Petitioner ensuring the wastewater holding tank for the handwash sink is emptied at a frequency as to not create a sanitary nuisance; and potable water provided must come from an approved source and be protected from contamination during handling. The Petitioner shall also ensure that all the handwash sinks are provided with hot and cold running water under pressure, soap, an approved hand drying device and a handwashing sign. The dishwashing, food preparation and food storage areas within Catering Kitchen Main (SEA6214214) must be maintained in a clean and sanitary manner. These areas must also be available to the Portable P301 during all hours of operation. If the ownership of Catering Kitchen Main and Portable P301 (Volume Services Inc.) changes, a signed agreement between the two establishments for the use of the shared facilities must be provided to the division immediately.

- Mark T. Mason, PharmD; The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Volume 40, No. 98, of the May 20, 2014, Florida Administrative Register. The Petitioner sought a Declaratory Statement from the Board with regard to impending medical marijuana legislation and the impact it will have on the practice of pharmacy.
The Board of Pharmacy considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on June 10, 2014, in Kissimmee, Florida. The Board’s Order, filed on July 9, 2014, found that based on laws and rules, it would not be legally appropriate for the Board to issue a Declaratory Statement in this cause. Therefore, the Board declines to answer the Declaratory Statement.
