EMERGENCY GENERATORS INSTEAD OF EQCB

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

This ordinance revises Miami-Dade County Code sections related to environmental protection, specifically amending definitions and permitting requirements for emergency generators. It authorizes administrative approval for emergency generators at healthcare facilities and food stores within wellfield protection areas, provided specific conditions are met. Previously, these required a public hearing before the Environmental Quality Control Board (EQCB). The change aims to streamline the permitting process for essential facilities while maintaining environmental safeguards. The ordinance is in draft form and pending assignment to the BCC agenda.
