RE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, SITE CLEANUPS

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

This legislative matter concerns an ordinance amending Section 24-44 of the Code of Miami-Dade County, Florida, to allow 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. The amendment aims to provide equivalent protection to human health, public safety, and the environment while potentially reducing transactional costs. The ordinance is currently in committee. It outlines procedures for the Director's approval of non-recorded institutional controls, including a 60-day decision period, an administrative appeal process to the County Commission, and the maintenance of a registry of approved controls. Public comment is not explicitly detailed in this document, but the process includes notice to affected property owners and an opportunity for comment on proposed controls.
