RE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, SITE CLEANUPS

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

Miami-Dade County is considering an ordinance (File Number: 261179) to amend Section 24-44 of the County Code. The proposed change allows for the approval of non-recorded institutional controls for "No Further Action With Conditions" site closures in connection with contaminated site cleanups, specifically for sites owned or operated by a governmental entity. This aims to provide an alternative to recorded institutional controls, potentially reducing transactional costs while maintaining equivalent protection for human health, public safety, and the environment. The ordinance outlines procedures for the Director's approval, appeal processes to the County Commission, and the maintenance of a registry for approved non-recorded controls. Public comment on specific site closures extending beyond property boundaries is still required. The ordinance was introduced on 6/26/2026 and is scheduled for an agenda date of 7/21/2026.
