- On June 30, 2014 the Division of Hotels and Restaurants received a Petition for an Emergency Variance for Subparagraph 61C-1.004(1)(a), Florida Administrative Code and Paragraph 5-202.11(A), 2009 FDA Food Code from MagiCream located in Kissimmee. The above referenced F.A.C. addresses the requirement that each establishment have an approved plumbing system installed to transport potable water and wastewater. They are requesting to utilize holding tanks to provide potable water and to collect wastewater at the handwash and three-compartment sinks.
The Petition for this variance was published in Vol. 40/128 on July 02, 2014. The Order for this Petition was signed and approved on July 10, 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 and three-compartment sinks 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 the handwash and three-compartment sinks are provided with hot and cold running water under pressure; the handwash sink is provided with soap, an approved hand drying device and a handwashing sign.

- This is the fourth technical meeting following the adoption of Basin Management Action Plans for the Indian River Lagoon. This meeting will cover the crediting of water quality improvement projects. A presentation will be made of estimated nutrient reductions expected from different stormwater management techniques. The Basin Management Action Plans were adopted for the North and Central Indian River Lagoon and Banana River Lagoon in February 2013. These plans were developed in response to the adoption of Total Maximum Daily Loads for the Indian River Lagoon and contain strategies for reducing nutrient loadings into the lagoon. The Total Maximum Daily Loads were adopted in March 2009. These TMDLs specify reductions in the loadings of total nitrogen and total phosphorus to the Indian River Lagoon sufficient for recovery of deeper-water seagrass habitat.; July 29, 2014, 1:00 p.m.; City of Palm Bay Council Chambers, 120 Malabar Road, SE, Palm Bay, Florida 32907
