We <br />conducted the following activities to obtain the information required to complete the Tier I SPCC Plan: <br />• Review available as -built drawings, surveys and plans related to the structures and drainage <br />pathways <br />• Conduct a site visit of each facility with a person knowledgeable of the facilites tank systems, <br />coordinated through the City's Environmental Department <br />• Interview the site manager or other personnel familiar with the tank systems and other oil storage <br />systems <br />• Review records of previous spills <br />• Evaluate topography and surface water flow regimes <br />• Evaluate areas of obvious discharge potential and spill sources <br />• Identify environmentally sensitive areas and potential receptors if a spill were to occur <br />• Document security measures to prevent unauthorized access to oil handling <br />• Develop a list of emergency response personnel <br />• Review the Citys spill response measures <br />• Review records of tank integrity and pressure tests <br />• Review the C tys personnel training records <br />The above information was used to complete the Tier I SPCC Plan for each facility.

The site was previously used by the City of Miami Beach for solid waste management and <br />a portion of the area contained buried debris. In anticipation of constructing the wastewater reclamation <br />facility, the City implemented a material screening plan to remove the buried solid waste and screen out the <br />larger (greater than 2inches) pieces of solid waste for off -site disposal. The recovered screened material <br />(RSM) was merged with a berm around the solid waste handling area to separate it from adjacent properties <br />and the golf course. The larger pieces of debris removed consisted primarily of rods, concrete and wood <br />debris. Miami -Dade Department of Environmental Resource Management (DERM) (currently Permitting, <br />Environment and Regulatory Affairs - PERA) required the City to demonstrate that there was a minimum of <br />two feet of dean fill or other engineering control in place covering areas of solid waste in or around the berm <br />in order pursue regulatory closure for the site. <br />If _ ee R_' 84 201. <br />I'M -,; r 0ar1 -e0- N& <br />CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL SERVICES I RFQ NO. 14 -07 -02 <br />EEO <br />
