40E-6.221: Conditions for Issuance of Standard Permits
The South Florida Water Management District (District) hereby gives notice:
On November 10, 2011, the District’s Governing Board issued SFWMD Order No. 2011-226-DAO-ROW to Miami-Dade Aviation Department (Application No. 11-0510-1). The petition for waiver was received by the District on May 9, 2011. Notice of receipt of the petition requesting the waiver was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly, Vol. 37, No. 23, on June 10, 2011. No public comment was received. This Order provides a waiver of the District’s criteria to allow the construction of N.W. 42nd Court bridge crossing the C-4 Canal; Section 32, Township 53 South, Range 41 East, Miami-Dade County. Specifically, the Order grants a waiver from paragraph 40E-6.221(2)(j), Florida Administrative Code, and the Basis of Review for Use or Occupancy of the Works or Lands of the District, incorporated by reference in subsection 40E-6.091(1), Florida Administrative Code, which governs the minimum low member elevation of bridge crossings location within works or lands of the District. Generally, the Order sets forth the basis of the Governing Board decision to grant the waiver as follows: 1) the proposed bridge crossing will not significantly interfere with the District’s current ability to perform necessary construction, alteration, operation, and routine maintenance activities; and 2) the Order granting a waiver from the subject rule is based upon principles of fairness.
