BACKGROUND:

The Oak Grove Land Clearing Debris (LCD) Disposal Pit has been in operation since December 1996. The Oak Grove LCD Disposal Pit is needed for services to the north-end of the County, and services the County Road Department ONLY. The pit operates under the guidelines established under Escambia County Ordinance 2006-24, Rules 62-4.540 and 62-701.803, Florida Administrative Code. The site is designed for the convenience, scale of economy, and ease of access to North Escambia County.

The Escambia County Code of Ordinances Chapter 82, stipulates that each entity must obtain a permit from the Solid Waste Management Department (SWMD) in order to operate an infill facility in Escambia County. The Department Director of the Solid Waste Management (SWMD) has determined that the facility satisfies the permitting criteria for an infill facility. Presently, Specific Permit Condition #13, which requires the submittal of "quarterly reports of tonnage of material received, average number of disposal vehicles enter the facility per month and remaining capacity", is outstanding. These reports will be filed with DSWM upon completion. A copy of the proposed permit renewal is attached.
