PILOT PROGRAM - SALE OF FATS, OILS, AND GREASE (FOG)

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · resolution

Miami-Dade County is exploring a pilot program for the sale of Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) for reuse as biofuel or other purposes. The County Mayor or designee is directed to prepare this program for Board review and approval, including expedited regulatory processing, technical assistance, and data collection. The study will also identify necessary changes to state or county regulations, requiring collaboration with the EPA and FDEP. A report detailing the proposed program and any necessary regulatory amendments is due within 90 days of the resolution's effective date and will be placed on the Board's agenda without committee review. This initiative stems from previous resolutions and ordinances aimed at controlling FOG discharge to prevent sanitary sewer overflows, acknowledging potential financial hardships on businesses.
