PURPOSE AND EFFECT: Chapter 62-785, F.A.C., Brownfields Cleanup Criteria, will be repealed once all of the current Risk-Based Corrective Action (RBCA) rule chapters are merged into Chapter 62-780, F.A.C., Contaminated Site Cleanup Criteria. The purpose is to achieve rule consolidation and consistency across cleanup programs, where possible, based on governing statutes. Concurrently, the Department is proposing the expansion of Chapter 62-780, F.A.C., to include all of the RBCA cleanup rules.
SUBJECT AREA TO BE ADDRESSED: The existing Brownfield site rehabilitation criteria, process and procedures contained in Chapter 62-785, F.A.C., will be merged into Chapter 62-780, F.A.C.
If interested in the expansion of Chapter 62-780, F.A.C., to include all the RBCA cleanup rules, a rule development workshop for Chapter 62-780, F.A.C., will be held Wednesday, March 28, 2012, 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. at the Department of Environmental Protection, 2600 Blair Stone Road, Room 609, Tallahassee, FL, Via Webinar: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/588534306
