- Florida will spend over $800,000 this fiscal year cleaning up waste tires to help prevent the spread of the Zika virus throughout the State. The Department is implementing rulemaking for Chapter 62-711, F.A.C., to help to synchronize the current rule with the online waste tire registration process and to update and provide clarity to the current rule through public input. The benefits of online synchronization and updates to the Chapter will be to more efficiently track waste tires in the state; therefore, helping the state reduce and eventually eliminate the need for state funded waste tire cleanup efforts.
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), is convening a Technical Advisory Group (TAG) made up of Florida business owners, waste tire service providers, local, and state representatives, who are involved with the management of waste tires in Florida.
These participants, in an open and moderated discussion format, will discuss and make specific recommendations to the FDEP about improvements to the waste tire regulations.; March 24, 2017, 8:30 a.m.; Bob Martinez Center, Room 609, 2600 Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, FL, 32399-3000
