RE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, SITE CLEANUPS

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

Miami-Dade County is considering an ordinance (File Number: 261179) to amend Section 24-44 of the County Code. The proposed ordinance would 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. This change aims to provide an alternative to recorded institutional controls, potentially reducing transactional costs while maintaining equivalent protection for human health, public safety, and the environment. The ordinance includes provisions for the Director's approval of non-recorded controls, an appeal process to the County Commission, and annual certification of compliance. The matter is currently "Before the Board" with an Agenda Date of 7/21/2026.
