Purpose
Pursuant to section 552.30, F.S., the State Fire Marshal has the sole and exclusive authority to adopt standards, limits, and regulations regarding the use of explosives used for construction materials mining activities. Chapter 2020-180, Laws of Florida, mandates that the Division of State Fire Marshal adopt rules to implement and enforce a monitoring pilot program for all construction materials mining activities in Miami-Dade County. The proposed amendments will update the rules and implement separate blast reporting and notice requirements for all mines located in Miami-Dade County in order to assist the Division with the operation of the pilot program.
