Waste Management / Tanks Committee

 

Committee Mission statement:

“To serve as an advisory and advocacy group, with a local program perspective, for a progressive, collaborative, and common-sense approach to waste management issues in Florida, including: contamination cleanup, storage tank compliance, solid waste management, and the Brownfield Redevelopment Program.”

Committee Priorities:

  • Increased Local Program funding for Storage Tanks Compliance Program task assignments.

  • Increased Local Program funding for Petroleum Restoration Program task assignments while improving consistency and forecasting. Communicate concerns and potential solutions to the FDEP related to the future health of the Petroleum Restoration Program, including the ability to bring contaminated sites to closure in a timely manner.

  • Encourage the formulation of Cleanup Target Levels in Chapter 62-777, F.A.C., for PFAS compounds and encourage proactive measures to prevent further PFAS impacts to the environment.

  • Support legislative funding for Voluntary Cleanup Tax Credits and other incentives related to the Brownfield Redevelopment Program. Encourage outreach and educational efforts to the public, municipalities, and other stakeholders regarding the benefits of the Brownfield Redevelopment Program.
