RE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, SITE CLEANUPS

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

Miami-Dade County is amending Section 24-44 of the County Code to allow for the approval of non-recorded institutional controls for contaminated site cleanups, specifically for sites owned or operated by a governmental entity. This change permits "No Further Action with Conditions" site closures using non-recorded controls if they provide equivalent protection to recorded controls and are enforceable. The ordinance was introduced on 6/26/2026, with an agenda date of 7/21/2026, and adopted on first reading by the Board of County Commissioners on 7/21/2026. A public hearing was tentatively scheduled for 9/9/2026. The amendment aims to streamline the cleanup process and reduce transactional costs for governmental entities while maintaining environmental protection.
