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 aims to provide equivalent protection to human health, public safety, and the environment as recorded controls, while potentially reducing transactional costs. The ordinance outlines procedures for the Director's approval, appeal processes to the County Commission, and the maintenance of a registry for approved non-recorded controls. It also clarifies notice requirements to affected property owners when contamination extends beyond a site boundary. The ordinance was introduced on 6/26/2026 and is scheduled for an agenda date of 7/21/2026.
