RFQ No. 14 -07 -02 1 Page 12.55 City of Miami Beach Environmental Engineering Continuing Services Client City of Miami Beach Project Dates August 2011 –Ongoing County Miami -Dade Description E Sciences was awarded a contract with the City of Miami Beach to conduct environmental engineering services. To date, E Sciences has provided the City with the following services: Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans — E Sciences prepared SPCC Plans for 12 facilities throughout Miami Beach. These facilities included pump stations, fire stations, public works yard, Miami Beach Golf Club and the Convention Center. E Sciences' approach for performing the SPCC Plan(s) required under this contract followed the steps outlined in applicable federal regulations (40 CFR 112). We conducted the following activities to obtain the information required to complete the Tier I SPCC Plan: • Review available as -built drawings, surveys and plans related to the structures and drainage pathways • Conduct a site visit of each facility with a person knowledgeable of the facility's tank systems, coordinated through the City's Environmental Department • Interview the site manager or other personnel familiar with the tank systems and other oil storage ® systems • Review records of previous spills • Evaluate topography and surface water flow regimes • Evaluate areas of obvious discharge potential and spill sources • Identify environmentally sensitive areas and potential receptors if a spill were to occur • Document security measures to prevent unauthorized access to oil handling • Develop a list of emergency response personnel • Review the City's spill response measures • Review records of tank integrity and pressure tests • Review the City's personnel training records The above information was used to complete the Tier I SPCC Plan for each facility. The Plan was reviewed and certified by an E Sciences Professional Engineer. We also incorporated recommendations to assist the City with compliance with state regulations. Green Waste Facility — This site is an undeveloped, bermed area located on the east side of the Miami Beach Golf Club. The site was previously used by the City of Miami Beach for solid waste management and a portion of the area contained buried debris. In anticipation of constructing the wastewater reclamation facility, the City implemented a material screening plan to remove the buried solid waste and screen out the larger (greater than 24nches) pieces of solid waste for off -site disposal. The recovered screened material (RSM) was merged with a berm around the solid waste handling area to separate it from adjacent properties and the golf course. The larger pieces of debris removed consisted primadly of rock, concrete and wood debris. Miami -Dade Department of Environmental Resource Management (DERM) (currently Permitting, Environment and Regulatory Affairs – PERA) required the City to demonstrate that there was a minimum of two feet of clean fill or other engineering control in place covering areas of solid waste in or around the berm ® in order pursue regulatory closure for the site. ��scie ces Rev 8/122014 Project 7- 0002 -001 NGL RFQ No. 14 -07 -02 1 Page 12.55
