Division of Administrative Hearings, Florida
Filed: Jan. 22, 1996
The issues in this case are twofold: Whether PCA has demonstrated entitlement to the proposed industrial wastewater construction and operation permit (proposed permit) that is the subject of this proceeding by providing reasonable assurance to the Department that the proposed construction activity and subsequent operation of the company's industrial wastewater treatment facility will comply with applicable provisions of Chapter 403, Florida Statutes, and implementing Department rules, and: Whether granting to PCA a 27-month variance from the water quality standard for transparency in the Withlacoochee River, and the associated second amendment to Consent Order, pursuant to Section 403.201(1)(b), Florida Statutes, is an abuse of the Department's discretion.Stipulation and evidence received upon remand provides reasonable assurances sufficient to allow conditioned issuance of requested permit and variance.
