RE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, SITE CLEANUPS

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

This ordinance amends Section 24-44 of the Miami-Dade County Code to allow for the approval of non-recorded institutional controls for contaminated site cleanups, specifically for sites owned or operated by a governmental entity. This change permits 'no further action with conditions' site closures without the requirement of recording the institutional control, provided the non-recorded control offers equivalent protection to human health, public safety, and the environment. The Director will have 60 days to approve or deny such controls, with an administrative appeal process to the County Commission available. The ordinance also clarifies procedures for notice to adjacent property owners when contamination extends beyond a site boundary. The matter is currently 'In Committee' with an agenda date of 7/21/2026.
