NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on November 02, 2010, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection has issued an order.
On October 1, 2010, Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation applied for a variance from the provisions of subsection 62-701.320(9), F.A.C., which requires that the time period for permits be no longer than five years from the date of issuance by the Department. Because Petitioner had not yet begun construction of the solid waste disposal facility, Petitioner alleged that requiring compliance would create a substantial hardship. Notice was published in the F.A.W. on October 22, 2010. The Order Granting Variance extends the permit expiration date for an additional five years, with conditions that the permit be modified before any construction is begun.
A copy of the Order may be obtained by contacting: Richard Tedder, Program Administrator, Department of Environmental Protection, Solid Waste Section, 2600 Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2400, email: richard.tedder@dep.state.fl.us, (850)245-8735.
