Staffing Report
Mr. French provided the report "Growth Management FY2018 Expanded Requests" for
information purposes. He provided an overview of the statistical data in the report and noted:
• The report outlines the building permit activity in the Division to support a request for 12
additional Staff Members to accommodate the growing demand for services.
• The positions include 5 inspectors, 2 building plan reviewers, 1 building plan technician, 1
site plan reviewer, 1 development review technician and 2 Operations & Regulatory Planning
technicians.
• In addition to the increase in demand for services other Staffing issues include:
• The potential for personnel attrition in the Division given many of the employees are
reaching retirement age and there is currently a limited skilled labor force in the
region capable of fulfilling these vacancies.
April 4, 2018
• The Division proposal to assume the permitting and enforcement for Everglades City
where a satellite office would continue to be staffed.
• Addressing the large numbers of expired building applications/permits in the
CityView and CDPlus systems.
To help acquire employees the Division is:
• Expanding the search are for employees to the northern areas of the country for
people possibly interested in a second career and wishing to retire in Florida.
• Investigation Florida Gulf Coast and Hodges University's potential to re -instate a
construction management program.
• Reviewing the feasibility of developing a partnership with the area building industry.
• Engaging an efficiency study for operations within the Division.
Mr. Mulhere left at 3: 45pm but stated he supported the request by Staff
Another concern in the potential for negative impacts of the service on the County's ISO's
Code Effectiveness Classification given the increasing number of building inspections being
conducted per day.
The Division does utilize a software platform which helps develop an inspector's most
efficient daily route in an effort to save travel time on roadways.
The last Staffing increases occurred two years ago and he requested the Committee provide a
recommendation on the proposal as the item will be brought forth to the Board of County
Commissioners for consideration.
Mr. Waldrop moved to support Staff's proposal to increase the Staffing as proposed in the
"Growth Management FY2018 Expanded Requests" report. Second by Mr. Gentry. Carried
unanimously 12 — 0.
VI. New Business

requirements for appointments to the Committees, the standards for creating Advisory Boards,
information on Collier County Ethics and the Sections of Ordinance 93-76 and 95-60 pertaining to

The following was noted during Committee discussions on the Ordinance:
• The Committee can not propose amendments to the Land Development Code however can
request the BCC to direct Staff to prepare an amendment, and provide input and
recommendations on proposed amendments.

The term limit requirement restrict a member's service to two consecutive terms
(Section 2-1033) which does not align with the operation of the Committee.
There is a requirement for a review every 4 years (Section 2-1039) which is not

Land Development Code Amendment Request
ORIGIN: Hurricane Irma After -Action Report to the Board of County Commissioners
AUTHOR: Zoning Division Staff
LDC SECTIONS: 5.05.17 Residential Developments with Clubhouses or Community Center
Buildings (New Section)
SUMMARY: This amendment establishes new standar&`,`for community clubhouses or
recreational facilities in residential developments, to atdm t1:06 -County's emergency response and
recovery after an emergency event, such as a tropical 46or" hurricane.
DESCRIPTION: At the Board's Work Session on November 7, 1017, Staff presented several
regulatory responses to the After -Action Findings regarding the County's Hurricane Inna
Response. Regulatory Action #2 suggested establishing a, local ordinance to help address
evacuation shelter deficits.
This amendment proposes to allow efnbhouses or cotnm}uiity center buildings within private
residential developments to be used in4he post event resp'dhjse�and recovery efforts by requiring
permanent emergency generators be installed at Heys± facfhties f3fut are at least 10,000 square feet.
Existing facilities would also he subject foahese standatls if thealndergo a substantial addition
or renovation and are at leasf„1 000 square feet. The epdment also sets forth minimum
operating standards. permanety�emergenoy generators ablubhouses or community center
buildings.
Lastly, at the timeclf generafo mstallz{fion this amendment requires coordination between the
property, owner and t4a2Bureauergency Seruices�"Emefgency Management Division to allow
the Bureau to consider theuse of tlie,rivate clubhouses or community center buildings for post -
emergency response achvlheS as mutually agreed upon in a memorandum of understanding
(MOU).
The intent of this aruendment ie provide an option for residents to use the facility as a post -
disaster point of distelb' on for#plies, such as water, shelf -stable meals, or to deliver tarps. The
facility may also be used as a dace for residents to obtain updated emergency information, gain
comfort/respite from thehet maintain hygiene, or operate their personal communication devices.
Staff anticipates that having a local facility to use in this manner will encourage residents to shelter -
in -place (where/when safe) and discourage long-distance evacuations, which (Staff hopes) will
decrease the likelihood of motorists needlessly traveling on local roads immediately post -disaster.
DSAC-LDR RECOMMENDATION: The DSAC-LDR Subcommittee reviewed the amendment
on April 18, 2018. In addition, a regular member of the DSAC was present as well. Lacking a
quorum, the subcommittee member(s) who was/were present, including the DSAC member, made
the following comments for further review at the regular DSAC meeting:

Land Development Code Amendment Request
ORIGIN: Board of County Commissioners
AUTHOR: Growth Management Department Staff
LDC SECTION(S): 1.08.02 Definitions
2.03.03 Commercial Zoning Districts
2.03.04 Industrial Zoning Districts
2.03.06 Planned Unit DevelopmentV fticts
2.03.07 Overlay Zoning Districts
5.05.16 Medical Marijuana Dispensaries (I+7ew Section)
SUMMARY: This amendment allows medical rnarljuana dispensaries�-fq become a new permitted
land use in the same zoning districts as a pharmacy or a drug store.
DESCRIPTION: On December 12,E 2017, the Board of G,_bnaty Commissioners extended a
temporary moratorium on Cannabis iipensing businesses.fo June 30, 2018. The extended date
was authorized to grant staff enough'netoanalyze andaluate any changes to F.S. 381.986
relative to the medical use of marijuana that .ryas underriisideration by the 2018 Florida
legislature. Because the legislative sessiot2 ended wiholxt an amadment, the Board directed staff
on March 13, 2018, toub13 vet a land develpprnent eode atifendment to permit medical
marijuana dispensing Ea ilities"iMe same zomng tracts as pharmacies and not located within
500 feet of a public cif private eleftentary, midzlle or secondary school. A brief review of the
current regulatory framewtl3Jc to m6diical mariluanadispensing facilities, as distinguished from the
cultivation and prgcessmg and ez ela cry of medie-41marijuana is provided below to clarify some
of the administratiy�1provisrons bf F.S. 981.986. A erwards, the specific changes to the land
developtgent code are descnbedf "'`
Medical Marijuana Daspenszu2egulaioxy Framework
On June 9, 2017, the Flonda islature enacted Senate Bill 8-A to allow the medical use of
marijuana to be 'dispensed thgh a state approved Medical Marijuana Treatment Center
(MMTC). Only a �WTC is,jjitensed to cultivate, process, transport and dispense medical
cannabis. F.S. 381.98& X11),'tes "Regulation of cultivation, processing, and delivery of
marijuana by medical mariJutreatment centers is preempted to the state..." The proposed LDC
amendment does not addrethe cultivation and processing of medical marijuana use. Per F.S.
381.986 (8.j), "Medical marijuana treatment centers are the sole source from which a qualified
patient may legally obtain marijuana."
F.S. 381.986 (11) (b.2) states, "A county may determine by ordinance the criteria for the location
of, and other permitting requirements that do not conflict with state law or department rule for
such dispensing facilities located within the unincorporated areas of that county." Additionally, a
county may not enact an ordinance for permitting or determining the location of dispensing
facilities which is more restrictive than its ordinance for permitting or determining the locations
for pharmacies licensed under F.S. 465. Consequently, the County is prohibited from setting limits
on medical marijuana dispensing facilities that do not also apply to pharmacies.

Number of Licensed MMTCs and Dispensing Facilities:
The initial maximum number of statewide licensed dispensing facilities is determined by
multiplying the current number of approved MMTCs times 25 dispensaries. As of April 20, 2018,
the Florida Department of Health (DOH) has licensed 13 MMTCs, which allows the statewide
maximum to be 325 dispensing facilities. Upon reaching the initial 100,000 active registered
patient limitation, this number can be increased at the rate of five additional dispensaries for each
MMTC currently approved, and similarly thereafter, when there are an additional 100,000
registered qualified patients.
The maximum number of dispensing facilities allowed in the quthwest Florida (SWF) region and
as administered by the DOH, is determined by calculatingfhe percentage of the SWF region of the
total statewide 2016 estimated population and applying that percentage to the total number of
dispensaries permitted statewide. The SWF region; comprised of I I "out of the 64 total counties,
accounts for 18 percent of the statewide population, resulting in a maximum of 59 licensed
dispensaries in the SWF region. It should be noied that a MMTC may sell one or more of its unused
dispensing facilities slots to another licensed MMTC at the, reduction of the selling MMTC's
maximum statewide number of dispensing facilities. Thrs wduld`allow for an approved MMTC to
increase its regional maximum number of dispensing faculties. According to F.S. 381.986 (8)
(a.5.d), this method of determining the maximum numb&)6f dispensaries (i.e., the placement of
caps on the number of dispensaries) will expire 44-Qpril 1, 2020.,

In general, the statutory requirements relative to the amendment are:

the diversion, theft, and loss of inaryuana or marijuana delivery devices, a medical

2. Ensure that the medical marijuana treatineni center's outdoor premises have
sufficient lighting from dusk until dawn.
3. Ensure that the indoor premises where,,�clispensing occurs includes a waiting

caregivers and at least one private consultati6h area that is isolated from the

versions. This provision is intended to address implementation
.S. 381.986 (8.f.2).
Additionally,, staff is recommending another security measure as suggested by the
cultivation manager at'Ilrowth Healthy Medical Marijuana Treatment Center, that the
dispensary's transp _ slivery vehicle be located within a garage or enclosed structure
when not in use for delivery. This provision would restrict the potential for night time
criminal activity.
There are three prohibitions recommended by staff that serve to deter crime, limit the
potential for the illicit sale of marijuana, and reduce the potential risk of driver intoxication.
They are:
o The dispensing of marijuana pick-up at curbside, take-out by window, drive-in or
drive-through facility, or other similar outdoor transaction facilities. This provision
follows other Florida communities such as Sarasota County, Town of Palm Beach,
Maitland, Mount Dora, Altamonte Springs, Ocala, Plantation, and Ft. Lauderdale.

Proposed changes:
The proposed new standards for shopping centers when replacing non -palm species trees through
a landscaping plan change are as follows:
• A new table to determine the minimum size of replacement trees is provided. The
replacement trees shall have a caliper of approximately 50 percent of the removed tree(s)
within the VUAs and "Type D" buffers.
o The new minimum sizes for replacement trees maybe satisfied by providing either
a single tree or a combination of multiple smaller trees, which would provide the
equivalent total caliper inches.

February 2018 i Indexing Update
I. Introduction
Collier County retained Tindale Oliver to calculate the updated indices for the following impact
fee program areas:
• Schools;
• Government Buildings;
• Law Enforcement;
• Libraries;
• Emergency Medical Services (EMS);
• Community Parks; and
• Regional Parks.
The County completed technical studies for government buildings, law enforcement, libraries,
and EMS facilities in 2016 while schools and park facilties were last updated in 2015. It is Collier
County's policy to annually index the fees to moderate fluctuations between the periodic update
studies. As such, the County retained Tindale Oliver to prepare an indexing study that reflects
the changes in cost of the inventory components including buildings, land, and
vehicles/equipment.
This technical report provides a summary of the index variables and the calculations of combined
indices for the seven service areas listed above.
Tindale Oliver Collier County
February 2018 1 Indexing Update
II. Calculation of Indices
As part of the calculations, the following indices were updated:
• Collier County Property Values;
• Consumer Price Index (CPI) (for equipment an vehicles);
• Producer Price Index (PPI) (for equipment an vehicles);
• Engineering News Record (ENR) Building Cost Index;
• Turner Building Cost Index; and
• RS Means Building Cost Index.
Table 1 presents the updated individual indices that will be used in the calculation of the overall
indices for each program area. Indices were calculated based on the most recent two years of
data available, 2016 and 2017. Consistent with the adopted indexing methodology, the building
cost index utilized ENR, RS Means, and Turner Building Cost indices. In the case of the
equipment/vehicle cost index, CPI and PPI for equipment were used. The land index is based on
data from the Collier County Property Appraiser.
Table 1 also provides a comparison to 2017 indices calculated in March 2017.

May 2, 2018 DSAC Discussion Points
This document summarizes the changes made to the draft Pollution Control Ordinance to address the
questions and suggestions that arose during the March 7, 2018 DSAC meeting. A subcommittee
meeting was held April 16, 2018.
1. Address costs to communities. Executive Summary language modified to include Table with
potential costs.
2. Address the Ag issue. State pre-emption- per F.S. 163. 3162 local governments cannot regulate
agricultural properties.
3. Re -define private collections and transmission systems to not include septic systems. Ensure
OSTDS don't require maintenance contracts. Added the sentence "Septic systems are not
considered private Sewage Collection and Transmission Systems." to Article 5 Section 2.
4. Provide backup showing support, or at least not prevention, for LEED/aquifer recharge.
a. Added the following language to Article II, Section 2, E: "Aquifer recharge projects
consisting of rainwater, treated stormwater or reclaimed water are not
considered pollutant Discharges."
b. Added "Treated reclaimed water is not considered a pollutant" to the definition of
pollutant.
5. Verify not in conflict with the fertilizer ordinance. Verified. Article II, Section 2, B states:
"Fertilizer application in a manner compliant with local ordinances, BMPs, label instructions, and
per FDEP's Green Industries Best Management Practices, in areas that are not in or upstream of
impaired waterbodies."
6. Does this ordinance create additional remediation standards? No additional remediation
standards are created with this ordinance. Will still be held to state water quality standards and
soil/groundwater cleanup target levels.
7. Address requirements for water quality sampling and stormwater system improvements if
existing development is meeting associated permit requirements. Specific DSAC sub-
committee comment: "Just to elaborate a bit on the existing storm watersystems (either
SFWMD or County Approvals) - please consider the issue raised at DSAC regarding existing
systems that are grandfathered and met a previous burden of regulation. Do not hold them to
any new standards."
The language in question is: Section 2 Monitoring of Stormwater Discharges. The following
changes were made:
This section applies to all facilities that have stormwater discharges associated with Industrial,
commercial, Residential, or Construction Activity and— will become effective if permit
requirements are not being met or reasonable BMPs are not being implemented.
May 2, 2018 DSAC Discussion Points
If a private SMS discharges to the CCMS4 that is declared impaired by FDEP or is upstream of an
Impaired Waterbody; or the downstream waterbody has an adopted TMDL, Reasonable Assurance
Plan, BMAP, or SSAC, the discharger may be required to monitor the water at the relevant outfall
at the County's discretion to determine if the discharger is meeting the established criteria and
not causing any further impairment. Further, the discharger may be required to reduce the
pollutant load being Discharged to the greatest extent possible, from the private SMS to the
CCMS4.
*greatest extent possible is typical LDC language. We are open to changing that to greatest extent
reasonable or similar.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to advertise a public hearing to consider the adoption of a new ordinance to be
called the Pollution Control and Prevention Ordinance, consolidating, repealing and replacing
Ordinance No. 87-79, regarding the Transportation and Disposal of Sludge and repealing
Resolution No. 88-311 regarding fees for sludge transportation and disposal permits. This proposed
ordinance will be in addition to Ordinance No. 89-20, the existing Collier County Water Pollution
Control Ordinance.
OBJECTIVE: To provide updates, clarifications, and additional environmental protection through the
adoption of, at a future publicly advertised meeting, the ordinance.
CONSIDERATIONS: Ordinance No. 87-79 (Attachment 1), Transportation and Disposal of Sludge
was adopted to regulate the transportation and disposal of sludge to ensure that such activities do not
endanger public health or the quality of the waters of the County. In the 30 years since Ordinance No.
87-79 was adopted; definitions, standards, and federal and state regulations have changed making the
current ordinance outdated and redundant in some aspects. The proposed new ordinance will update,
clarify, and add environmental protections which reflect current regulations, practices, and the goals of
the Pollution Control Program; and protect Collier County's natural resources.
Ordinance No. 89-20 (Attachment 2), the Collier County Water Pollution Control Ordinance was adopted
to establish and fund a County water pollution control program which focused on sewage as the primary
pollutant. This Ordinance was adopted with a county -wide referendum and allows the County to levy
county -wide up to one-tenth of a mil for a water pollution control program. Because of the funding
authority, this Ordinance is not proposed for repeal and will be in addition to the proposed ordinance. In
the 28 years since Ordinance 89-20 was adopted; definitions, standards, and federal and state regulations
have changed making the existing ordinance outdated and ineffective. The proposed new ordinance will
be in addition to Ordinance No. 89-20 and will reflect current regulations and practices, the goals of the
Pollution Control Program, and protect Collier County's natural resources.
Collier County has a Phase tI National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit. Element Three of Collier County's NPDES MS4 permit
requires a `regulatory mechanism for the detection and elimination of non-stormwater discharges." The
January 2015 audit report (Attachment 3) of Collier County's NPDES MS4 program by the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection indicated that the existing ordinances used to regulate discharges
are insufficient and requires Collier County to "review existing ordinance and/or develop a new ordinance
which defines and prohibits illicit discharge to the MSA."
The new ordinance will include
• Additional and updated definitions;
• Updated laws and regulations;
• Specific language prohibiting illicit discharges;
• Requirements for reporting and remediating discharges of pollutants;
• Emphasis on pollution prevention through public outreach/education and best management
practices; and
• Provisions for enforcement.
Resolution 88-311 (Attachment 4) addressing fees associated with sludge transportation licenses and
disposal permits will be repealed.
The proposed ordinance is Attachment 5.
FISCAL IMPACT: T.,...e a fnifiima4 r. al iffipaets.^eia4ed with the ,.a, ,...:.:_s of a proposed
� ee—Examples of potential costs to customers arelisted in Table I Costs associated with
environmental impacts such as remediation can vary widely based on the discharged product source
quantity released, and impacted media (e.g. soil, groundwater, surface water) Pollutant source tracking
will primarily be accomplished by Pollution Control and the upcoming Stormwater Utility programs
however, customers who continuously fail to meet permit requirements or implement best management
practices are expected to be responsible for reasonable costs associated with the impacts None of the
Table I potential costs are intended to be punitive or revenue generating they are related to customer's
impacts on the environment.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This action is consistent with the goals and objectives of
Collier County's Growth Management Plan Conservation and Coastal Management Element and the
Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Sub -Element; the Watershed Management Plan; and the
Floodplain Management Plan.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires a majority
vote for Board approval. HFAC
RECOMMENDATION: To advertise a public hearing to consider the adoption of a new ordinance
consolidating, repealing and replacing Ordinance No. 87-79 and repealing Resolution 88-311.

SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE
DATE.
WHEREAS, Article VIII of the Constitution of Florida authorizes Florida counties to
exercise broad home rule powers; and
WHEREAS, Section 125.01 (1), F.S., provides that the legislative and governing body of a
County shall have the power to carry on County government and that said power includes, but is
not restricted to, a number of powers set forth in Section 125.01, so long as any powers exercised
are not inconsistent with general or special laws; and

authorized by the State Constitution; and
In 1984 in order to establish a pollution control program, Collier County approved the levy
of one-tenth of a mill, and in 1988 in order to protect Collier County's water resources for all

WHEREAS, the Board desires to supplement and amend these Ordinances and enhance its

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA, that Collier County adopts an
ordinance that reads as follows:
04/25/2018
Page 1 of 20
Article L GENERAL
Section 1: Title and Citation
This Ordinance shall be known as and maybe cited as "The Collier County Water Pollution
Control and Prevention Ordinance."
Section 2: Findings
The Board of County Commissioners hereby makes the following findings:
A. It is necessary to regulate activities that have the potential to create hazards or public
nuisances, pollute or otherwise adversely affect the quality of groundwater, surface waters,
or other natural resources of Collier County; and those activities are defined herein;
B. The Board recognizes that Collier County and its residents rely on groundwater and surface
water for drinking water supplies and that certain land uses can contaminate ground and
surface water;
C. Thirty-three percent of Collier County's surface waterbodies currently are verified as
impaired by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP);
D. Total Maximum Daily Loads have been assigned by FDEP. The Board recognizes it is in
Collier County's best interest to prevent further degradation of our waterbodies and water
supplies;
E. Collier County has a Phase II National Pollution Discharge Elimination System Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit. Collier County's MS4 permit and Chapter
62-624 F.A.C. require a regulatory mechanism for the detection and elimination of non-
stormwater discharges;
F. Because private Stormwater Management systems generally outfall to Collier County's or
a municipality's MS4 and therefore affect the MS4's water quality, it is in the best interest
of Collier County to regulate the water quality discharging from those private systems.
G. Collier County is an area that depends on tourist's dollars and the quality of Collier
County's water and other natural resources directly impacts Collier County's economic
sustainability and growth;
H. In 1984, in order to establish a pollution control program, Collier County approved the levy
of one-tenth of a millage after a County -wide referendum, and in 1988 in order to protect
Collier County's water resources for all pollutants, the residents of Collier County
approved the maintenance of the millage of one-tenth of a mill by County -wide referendum
as described in Ordinance No. 89-20;
04/25/2018 Page 2 of 20
I. Section 163.3177(6)(d)2.b. F.S. requires local governments through its Growth
Management Plan "to protect the quality and quantity of current and projected water
sources and waters that flow into estuarine waters or oceanic waters and protect from
activities and land uses known to affect adversely the quality and quantity of identified
water resources."
J. Section 403.182 F.S. allows local governments to adopt Ordinances relating to local
pollution control programs that are "stricter or more extensive than those imposed by this
Act [the Florida Air and Water Pollution Control Act in Section 403.011, et seq. F.S.]."
K. This ordinance supports goals and objectives of the Drainage Sub -Element and the Natural
Groundwater Aquifer Recharge Sub -Element, of the Conservation and Coastal
Management Element of the Collier County Growth Management Plan, the Watershed
Management Plan, and the Floodplain Management Plan.
Section 3: Intent
It is the intent of Collier County to allow for growth while protecting, preserving, and
restoring our groundwater, surface waters, and other natural resources through monitoring,
pollution prevention, education, and restoration programs.
This ordinance authorizes Collier County with the right but not the duty to enforce all relevant
state regulations in addition to local Ordinances.
Relevant state regulations include but are not limited to:

A Person responsible for the operation of any facility that may be a source of Discharge
of Pollutants, shall conduct such tests and maintain such records as prescribed by the

compliance with this Ordinance. Such test data and records shall include the
monitoring data available unless otherwise specified in writing by the County Manager
or his/her designee. Such test data and operating records shall be available at all times
for inspection by the County Manager or his/her designee, and reports that contain these

actions as directed by the County Manager or his/her designee. Failure to provide records
or documentation directed pursuant to this this Ordinance is a violation of this article.
E. Temporary disconnection of water service. The County Manager or his/her designee is
authorized to order the water purveyor to cease water service to a connection where
continued water service will allow an Illicit Discharge to continue unabated by the
responsible party or party occupying a subject property. This action is only authorized to
abate a situation that poses a risk to public health, safety, and welfare as determined by the
County Manager or his/her designee, such as Sewage, Septage, or septic tank system
discharge in areas of public access, or where the water service is to a Commercial or
Industrial business or facility, with the exception of a medical service facility. The property
owner or responsible party shall commence mitigation, as approved by the County
Manager or his/her designee, of the Illicit Discharge within one hour of notification by the
County Manager or his/her designee. When the Illicit Discharge remains unmitigated, the
water purveyor shall, within one hour of notification by the County Manager or his/her
designee, discontinue such water service. The water purveyor shall, within one hour of
notification by the County Manager or his/her designee, reinstate water service, provided
the purveyor has no cause to withhold service. The water customer shall be responsible
for any fees for the disconnection or resumption of water service charged by the water
purveyor.
Section 2: Remediation
A. Any Discharge of Pollutants must be reported to Collier County Pollution Control and, if
applicable, to the state regulatory agency.
B. Any Discharge of Pollutants must be remediated by the PRSR.
C. The PRSR shall take action to ensure no reoccurrence, including but not limited to,
implementing additional or amending BMPs.
D. Ongoing or intermittent pollution that causes one-time pollution at a level less than the soil
or water cleanup target levels or surface water quality standards set forth in Chapter 62-
770 F.A.C. Petroleum Contamination Site Cleanup Criteria; Chapter 62-777 F.A.C.
Contaminant Cleanup Target Levels; Chapter 62-780 F.A.C. Contaminated Site Cleanup
Criteria; Chapter 62-782 F.A.C. Dry Cleaning Solvent Cleanup Criteria; and Chapter 62-
302 F.A.C. Surface Water Quality Standards or in TMDLs, BMAPs or SSAC, shall be
analyzed on a case by case basis to determine if it is causing a cumulative pollution
problem. This determination shall be made by Collier County using the best available
science. If it is determined that a cumulative pollution problem exists, the PRSR shall be
required to cease discharging and remediate affected areas.
E. PRSR failure to clean up and/or prevent pollution is a violation of this ordinance. Collier
County has the right but not the duty to contract for remediation and bill the PRSR,
provided the County gives the PRSR 3 days prior written notice to commence clean up and
the PRSR fails to do so.

compliance shall be considered a separate and distinct offense. Further, each day of continued
violation or non-compliance shall be considered as a separate offense.

in any court of competent jurisdiction as is necessary to prevent or remedy any violation or con -
compliance. Such other lawful actions shall include, but shall not be limited to, an equitable action
for injunctive relief or an action at law for damages. Further, nothing in this Section shall be
construed to prohibit the County from prosecuting any violation of this Ordinance by means of a
Code Enforcement Board or Special Magistrate established pursuant to the authority of Chapter
162, F.S. and Ordinance No. 2010-4.
