Requests for waiver may be submitted to the department in accordance with 481-Chapter 6. Waivers may be granted by the director of the department when, in the director's discretion, good and sufficient reasons underlying the need for a waiver have been established; no substantial risk to the health, safety, or welfare of patients is presented by approving the waiver; and alternate means are employed or compensating circumstances exist to justify the waiver. Any waiver granted is limited to the specific project under consideration and does not establish a precedent for similar acceptance in other cases.
