PILOT PROGRAM - SALE OF FATS, OILS, AND GREASE (FOG)

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

Miami-Dade County is exploring a pilot program for the sale of Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) for reuse as biofuel or other purposes. The County Mayor or designee is directed to prepare this program for Board review and approval, including expedited regulatory processing, technical assistance, and data collection. The study will also identify necessary changes to state or county regulations, involving consultation with the EPA and FDEP. A report detailing the proposed program and any necessary amendments is due within 90 days of the resolution's effective date. This initiative stems from previous efforts to comply with the Federal Clean Water Act and revise the Grease Trap Ordinance and FOG Control Program, which may impose financial hardship on businesses.
