NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on May 27, 2009, the Department of Health, received a petition for variance from Daniel Hernandez, Esq., representing Infiltrator Systems, Incorporated. Specifically, the petitioner seeks a variance from 64E-6.009(7), (7)(a) and (7)(d), Florida Administrative Code, which require that after innovative system testing is completed, requests for approval of system components and designs which are not specifically addressed in Chapter 64E-6, FAC, to be submitted to the department's Bureau of Onsite Sewage Programs. Requests for approval are required to include empirical data showing the results of innovative system testing in the State of Florida. It also requires that alternative drainfield materials and designs not be approved when they would result in a reduction in drainfield size compared to a mineral aggregate drainfield.
A copy of the Petition for Variance or Waiver may be obtained by contacting: Agency Clerk, Department of Health, Office of the General Counsel, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin A02, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-1703.
