<br />STANDARD FORM 330 (REV. 3/2013) <br /> <br /> <br />We conducted the following activities to obtain the information required to complete the Tier I SPCC Plans: <br /> <br />• Review available as-built drawings, surveys and plans related to the structures and drainage pathways <br />• Conduct a site visit of each facility with a person knowledgeable of the facility’s tank systems, coordinated through the <br />City’s Environmental Department <br />• Interview the site manager or other personnel familiar with the tank systems and other oil storage 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 City’s spill response measures <br />• Review records of tank integrity and pressure tests <br />• Review the City’s personnel training records <br /> Green Waste Facility: This site is an undeveloped, bermed area located on the east side of the Miami Beach Golf Club. The site was <br />previously used by the City of Miami Beach for solid waste management and a portion of the area contained buried debris. In anticipation <br />of constructing a wastewater reclamation facility, the City implemented a material screening plan to remove the buried solid waste and <br />screen out the larger (greater than 2-inches) pieces of solid waste for off-site disposal. The recovered screened material (RSM) was <br />merged with a berm around the solid waste handling area to separate it from adjacent properties and the golf course. The larger pieces <br />of debris removed consisted primarily of rock, concrete and wood debris. Miami-Dade Department of Environmental Resource <br />Management (DERM) (currently Regulatory and Economic Resources - RER) required the City to demonstrate that there was a <br />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 <br />regulatory closure for the site. <br />E Sciences conducted environmental services to evaluate the top two feet of soil layer covering the berm. In order to complete the <br />project in a time and cost effective manner, E Sciences developed a phased sampling approach by collecting the necessary samples, <br />but conducting laboratory analysis on an iterative basis. The initial sampling results revealed the presence of regulated contaminants <br />above regulatory criteria, therefore additional analysis was not deemed necessary. The City elected to implement an engineering control <br />(EC) to achieve conditional site closure along with the adjacent golf course property, protect human health and the environment. E <br />Sciences prepared an EC design and provided oversight and regulatory coordination for the installation of the EC. The design and <br />installation of the EC has received regulatory approval and E Sciences assisted with drafting the restrictive covenant to be used for the <br />final conditional closure. <br />Fleet Management Facility: E Sciences conducted groundwater and soil assessment activities at the active City’s fleet management <br />facility. The assessment was completed in order to evaluate the presence of contamination associated with a historical petroleum <br />discharge documented in 1992. This assessment revealed the presence of free floating product in the groundwater and soil impacts <br />within a localized area at the facility. E Sciences prepared and submitted a Site Assessment Report Addendum (SARA) including source <br />removal plan recommendations. The SARA and source removal plan has received regulatory approval from RER. E Sciences has <br />recently prepared a Monitoring Only Plan (MOP) as part of a Consent Agreement between RER and the City to maintain certain <br />environmental provisions on the site while waiting to implemented cleanup and remediation efforts during the anticipated development of <br />the property. The MOP was approved by RER and E Sciences conducted the first groundwater sampling event on April 2015 and <br />submitted a Interim Groundwater Monitoring Report recommending that the MOP continue to be implemented as proposed.
