The Innovative Technology Initiative (ITECH) established funds for use during 2016 and 2017 that may be utilized by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for petroleum contamination cleanup site assessment and rehabilitation activities using contractors that employ non-traditional or innovative technologies approved by DEP. Participation in the ITECH project is voluntary, the funds are not applied toward a funding cap, and ITECH does not require a co-payment from the property owner and/or responsible party.
To better protect public health, DEP is expanding its public notification process to advise property owners if pollution has been found on their property or in their neighborhood. You may have received a letter from DEP about pollutants discovered in the groundwater or soil at your property or properties in your area. To answer your questions, DEP and the Department of Health (DOH) have established two toll-free information lines.
