WAIVERS AND EXCLUSIONS.
SF Environment Code § 2406
in effectSEC. 2406. WAIVERS AND EXCLUSIONS.
(a) A City officer, department, or agency (collectively, “department”) responsible for permitting an Event on or issuing a lease for City Property may seek from the Department of the Environment (“DOE”) a waiver of the requirements of Sections 2403 and 2404 in full or in part if the Event sponsor or lessee demonstrates to the satisfaction of the DOE that strict application of the requirement would not be feasible, would create an undue hardship or practical difficulty, or that circumstances otherwise warrant granting of the waiver. The DOE’s decision to grant a waiver shall be in writing and shall be final. If no response is received from the DOE within 60 days of a waiver request, the request shall be deemed approved.
(b) The provisions of Sections 2403 and 2404 shall not apply where the department finds that the inclusion or application of such provisions would violate or be inconsistent with the terms or conditions of a grant, subvention or contract with an agency of the State of California or the United States or the instructions of an authorized representative of any such agency with respect to any such grant, subvention or contract.
(c) The provisions of Sections 2403, 2404, and 2405(a) shall not apply where the department finds that relying on Packaged Water is necessary in a given situation to protect the public health, safety and welfare, and no reasonable alternative to Packaged Water will serve the same purpose.
