EMERGENCY GENERATORS INSTEAD OF EQCB
Miami-Dade County is considering an ordinance (File Number 261214) that would revise environmental protection codes to allow administrative approval for emergency generators at healthcare facilities and food stores within wellfield protection areas, instead of requiring public hearings before the Environmental Quality Control Board (EQCB). This change aims to streamline the permitting process and reduce development costs. The ordinance revises definitions and operating permit requirements, and amends regulations for the protection of potable water supply wells. Key conditions for administrative approval include the property being served by utility water and sewer, located more than 30 days travel time from a water supply well (and outside the Northwest and West Wellfield protection areas), within the Urban Development Boundary, and requiring specific fuel storage and containment measures. Approximately eight variances for similar generator placements were granted by the EQCB between 2020 and 2025. The ordinance is currently in committee.

EMERGENCY GENERATORS INSTEAD OF EQCB
Miami-Dade County is considering an ordinance to amend environmental protection codes. The proposed changes would allow for administrative approval of emergency generators for healthcare facilities and food stores located within wellfield protection areas, provided specific conditions are met. Currently, such approvals require a public hearing before the Environmental Quality Control Board (EQCB). The ordinance aims to streamline this process, reduce development costs, and expedite permitting for these essential facilities. Key conditions for administrative approval include the property being served by utility water and sewer, located more than 30 days travel time from a water supply well (and outside the Northwest and West Wellfield protection areas), within the Urban Development Boundary, and utilizing approved above-ground storage facilities with secondary containment and a groundwater monitoring plan. Fuel volume limits apply to food stores (1,500 gallons) and healthcare facilities (volume required by regulations). The ordinance is currently in committee, with a first reading and tentative public hearing scheduled. The Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER) department will monitor implementation.

EMERGENCY GENERATORS INSTEAD OF EQCB
This ordinance amends Miami-Dade County Code sections 24-5, 24-18, and 24-43 to authorize administrative approval for emergency generators for healthcare facilities and food stores within wellfield protection areas, subject to specific conditions.

The change aims to streamline permitting and reduce costs for essential facilities while maintaining environmental protections. The ordinance revises definitions, operating permit requirements, and prohibitions within wellfield protection areas. Key conditions for administrative approval include the property being served by utility water and sewer, located more than 30 days travel time from a well, outside the Northwest and West Wellfield protection areas, within the Urban Development Boundary, and having fuels contained in approved above-ground storage facilities with secondary containment. Fuel volume limits apply to food stores. A groundwater monitoring plan may be required. The ordinance was introduced on 6/30/2026 and tentatively scheduled for a public hearing on 7/21/2026 before the Recreation, Tourism, and Resiliency Committee.
