DRAFT PLAN TO ADDRESS ILLEGAL DUMPING IN MONROE COUNTY
All law enforcement and regulatory agencies in the County
will pledge full cooperation and will adopt a proactive posture
toward the control of illegal dumping of trash and debris on
vacant property and right of ways.
These agencies include but are not limited to:
Monroe County Sheriff's Department
Monroe County State Attorney's Office
Monroe County Code Enforcement
Monroe County Pollution Control
Florida Marine Patrol
Florida Dept. of Environmental Regulation
Florida Game and Fish Commission
National Wildlife Refuge
The Sheriff's Dept. will take the following steps to help
solve the problem,
,
A. Station and support three Deputies who will serve as
Environmental Crimes Officers. One will serve each area of
the Keys; Upper, Middle, and Lower. The major task of these
Deputies will be to eliminate abandoned vehicles and control
illegal dumping.
B. Train all road Deputies to write notices to appear for
misdemeanor cases when they witness the act of illegal dump-
ing.
C. Encourage all road Deputies to cooperate with their
area's Environmental Crime Officer to report illegal dump
sites.
D. In felony cases, seize vehicles and equipment used in the
commission of the crime of illegal dumping.
Monroe County will take the following actions toward solving
the problem:
A. Adopt an educational program to inform it's MSD customers
of what and how collection Franchisee will pick up (at no
additional cost) their yard trash and bulk items. Also per-
haps relive some restrictions on bundling some items.
E X H ,13 I yo . 4 Itf'
B. Establish a victim designation program.
1. The owner of vacant property who is illegally dumped
upon can file a crime report with the Sheriff's Dept.
to establish victim's status. Upon filing of this re-
port, he would not be pursued by Code Enforcement.
2. The illegal dumping will be investigated by Code En-
forcement and the Sheriff's Dept. If the perpetrator
can not be found and prosecuted, the County will remove
and dispose of the trash and debris.
3. Funds for this removal will come from Code Enforce-
ment Board fines and foreclosure on Code Enforcement
liens. It is estimated that the average cost of clean
up will run between $1500. and $2500. Therefore, if
this pilot program had an established budget of
$250,000., one hundred to one hundred and fifty vacant
lots belonging to victims could be cleaned up.
C. The County will explore other funding 'sources to imple-
ment the entire plan County wide. Potential sources of reve-
nues include:
1. Conf~scated equipment and vehicles.
2. Solid waste impact fees.
3. Judicial fines.
The Monroe County State Attorney's Office will support the
plan in the following manner:
A. vigorously prosecute illegal dumping cases with a high
level of priority given to them.
B. Adopt and encourage the judiciary to adopt minimum manda-
tory fines and restitution (clean up of debris) in all ille-
gal dumping cases.
, I
All other agencies of the Environmental Task Force pledge
full cooperation and vigorous enforcement of illegal dumping
laws in Monroe County.
