RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning a Site Access Agreement with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to Conduct an Environmental Assessment on County-Owned Property at 603 West Romana Street - J. Taylor "Chips" Kirschenfeld, Director, Department of Natural Resources Management

That the Board take the following action concerning the Site Access Agreement for the County-owned property at 603 West Romana Street:

A. Approve the Site Access Agreement to allow the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) to locate contamination, determine contamination levels and, when necessary, remove and remediate contamination which may be performed by the FDEP and its contractor; and

B. Authorize the Chairman to sign the Agreement and subsequent documents related to the project, subject to Legal review and sign-off.

BACKGROUND:

In 1987 a petroleum discharge was reported at the Former Escambia County Mosquito and Rodent Control Facility (the Site) located at 603 W. Romana Street, Pensacola. The release was registered into the Florida State Abandoned Tank Restoration Program (ATRP). This program assigns ranking scores and the funding for cleanup of the property is based on the lowest number that the program is cleaning sites at. The Site’s Score is seven (26). The program is currently cleaning sites that are scored 20 and above. Therefore, the Site is now eligible for cleanup action as per State Program guidelines. This access agreement will allow the State to conduct remediation activities. Upon completion of the remediation, the site will be designated as no further action required.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

There is no budgetary impact associated with this recommendation.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:

The Site Access Agreement was reviewed and approved as to legal sufficiency by Stephen West, Senior Assistant County Attorney.

PERSONNEL:

There is no personnel impact associated with this recommendation.

POLICY/REQUIREMENT FOR BOARD ACTION:
