STANDARD FORM 330 (REV. 3/2013) We conducted the following activities to obtain the information required to complete the Tier I SPCC Plans: • 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 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 a wastewater reclamation facility, the City implemented a material screening plan to remove the buried solid waste and screen out the larger (greater than 2-inches) 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 primarily of rock, concrete and wood debris. Miami-Dade Department of Environmental Resource Management (DERM) (currently Regulatory and Economic Resources - RER) 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. E Sciences conducted environmental services to evaluate the top two feet of soil layer covering the berm. In order to complete the project in a time and cost effective manner, E Sciences developed a phased sampling approach by collecting the necessary samples, but conducting laboratory analysis on an iterative basis. The initial sampling results revealed the presence of regulated contaminants above regulatory criteria, therefore additional analysis was not deemed necessary. The City elected to implement an engineering control (EC) to achieve conditional site closure along with the adjacent golf course property, protect human health and the environment. E Sciences prepared an EC design and provided oversight and regulatory coordination for the installation of the EC. The design and installation of the EC has received regulatory approval and E Sciences assisted with drafting the restrictive covenant to be used for the final conditional closure. Fleet Management Facility: E Sciences conducted groundwater and soil assessment activities at the active City’s fleet management facility. The assessment was completed in order to evaluate the presence of contamination associated with a historical petroleum discharge documented in 1992. This assessment revealed the presence of free floating product in the groundwater and soil impacts within a localized area at the facility. E Sciences prepared and submitted a Site Assessment Report Addendum (SARA) including source removal plan recommendations. The SARA and source removal plan has received regulatory approval from RER. E Sciences has recently prepared a Monitoring Only Plan (MOP) as part of a Consent Agreement between RER and the City to maintain certain environmental provisions on the site while waiting to implemented cleanup and remediation efforts during the anticipated development of the property. The MOP was approved by RER and E Sciences conducted the first groundwater sampling event on April 2015 and submitted a Interim Groundwater Monitoring Report recommending that the MOP continue to be implemented as proposed.
