NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on August 12, 2010, the South Florida Water Management District (District) Governing Board has issued an order.
SFWMD Order No.: 2010-153-DAO-ROW was issued regarding existing facilities along the Deer Fence Canal (G-3W) between County Road 846 and L-3; Hendry County. This Order provides a waiver of Rule 40E-6.601, Florida Administrative Code, which governs the payment of application processing fees, and 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 establishes the criteria in which people can connect with and make use of 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 facilities existed prior to the donation of land to the District and adoption of the Deer Fence Canal as a Work of the District; 2) the facilities will not significantly interfere with the District’s current ability to perform necessary construction, alteration, operation, and routine maintenance activities; and 3) the Order granting a waiver from the subject rule is based upon principles of fairness.
A copy of the Order may be obtained by contacting: Juli Russell, South Florida Water Management District, 3301 Gun Club Road, MSC 1410, West Palm Beach, FL 33406-4680, (561)682-6268 or by email: jurussel@sfwmd.gov.
