RE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, SITE CLEANUPS

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

Miami-Dade County is considering an ordinance (File Number: 261179) that amends Section 24-44 of the County Code. The proposed ordinance allows for the approval of non-recorded institutional controls for "No Further Action With Conditions" site closures in connection with contaminated site cleanups, specifically for sites owned or operated by a governmental entity. This change aims to provide equivalent protection to human health, public safety, and the environment while potentially reducing transactional costs associated with recorded covenants. The ordinance introduces a process for the Director's approval of non-recorded controls, with a 60-day decision period, and an administrative appellate remedy to the County Commission for aggrieved parties. The ordinance is scheduled for an agenda date of 7/21/2026.
