Board of County Commissioners Regular Meeting · 2026-06-09 · agenda_item

This item concerns a communication from Heart of Florida regarding an internal review of their special waste acceptance records. An unintentional acceptance of gasoline-impacted soil occurred on March 25, 2026, from a Central Florida gas station. Heart of Florida has proactively notified the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) about this incident. The material is contained below the current operating surface and is protected by liners, with no direct exposure risk. The landfill's systems, including leachate collection and groundwater monitoring, are operational. This item is currently under review as a communication to the Board of County Commissioners. The scope of work involves ongoing environmental monitoring and regulatory compliance related to the contained material. This situation may present opportunities for environmental consulting, waste management services, and regulatory compliance support. Early engagement with Heart of Florida and FDEP could be beneficial.
