ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING STRATEGY
FOR UNSPECIFIED SITES
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM
To assure that HOME Program Projects at sites unspecified prior to the release of funds are in
compliance with the environmental laws and �uthorities, the following strategy will be
employed:
Projects must comply with environmental statues, re��ulation, and esecutive Orders other than
NEPA.
Proposed projects to be included in the environ�i��ntal monitoring strategy under the CDBG
program include the following citywide activities:
• Working capital;
• Job creation;
• Job retention;
• Land acquisition;
• Site improvements;
• Job training;
• Job placement;
• Demolition;
HISTORIC PROPERTIES
Section 106 of the National Historic Presei-���lti��n :Act of I�����,. a� amended, mandates the
agencies with jurisdiction over Federally assistc�i .:� �i� ities at t��r�i �hc \'��tional Advisory council
on Histaric Preservation and the State Histc�ric I'r�servati��n �)f�ficcr (SHPO) a reasonable
opportunity for comment on the project's im��.��< <�n hist��ri� ��re���rties. Contact SHPO to
obtain review requirements if a structure in o��cr �u � cars ol�l ��r i: adjacent to a Historic District
of if a project involves soil disturbance (Archa«�I���_ical)
Pursuant to HUD guidance on compliance with th� Section 1(��� r�� ic�� ��rocess (36 CFR 800), if
a structure is over 50 years old, the City of Cle�ir�� ater. Housin�� [)i��isic�n will need to submit to
SHPO far its review, photographs of the existin�� structure ��ncl a description of the proposed
improvements. The SHPO must approve the proposed imprc�� rments as in conformance with
the Secretary of Interior Standard for Rehabilitation before thc [ Iousing Division can proceed
with the assistance.
14
Pending a determination of eligibility for inclusion in the National Register of determination of
local historic significance, the proposed rehabilitation of structures over 50 years old must
conform to the Secretary of the Interior Standards for Rehabilitation. Housing Division staff
must provide a good determination of the age of all structures proposed for rehabilitation.
For new developments on previously undisturbed azeas, The SHPO (State Historic Preservation
Officer) will be consulted on archeological resources.
FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT
Due to the limited availability of undeveloped land in the City of Clearwater, rehabilitation,
reconstruction or new construction may take place in the Floodplain. Work may be allowed in a
100 — year floodplain, but all applicable federal, state and local requirements must be complied
with. In that case, floodplain impacts must be assessed. An eight-step review process required
by Executive Order 11988 will be performed if the project is located in a floodplain area, and is
for commercial rehabilitation or residential rehabilitation or residential rehabilitation of 5 or
more units in a structure. Executive Order 11988 directs Federally funded agencies to take
certain steps to avoid: (a) to the extent possible the long and short term adverse impacts
associated with the occupancy and modification of floodplains and (b) the direct development
within or modification of floodplains, wherever there is a practical alternative.
Because activities maintain the health, welfare and safety of citizens in existing floodplain
areas, it has been determined that this activity within a floodplain is unavoidable. However,
Housing staff will adhere to the following guidelines:
• The extent of rehabilitation should not constitute a significant improvement that will affect
the floodplain.
• All property owners prior to receiving rehabilitation assistance must purchase floodplain
insurance under the National Flood Insurance Program.
The City will use the latest version of the Flood Insurance Maps issued by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency to access the flood designation for the proposed activity.
WETLANDS PROTECTION
Executive Order 11990 requires all federal executive agencies to refrain from supporting
construction in wetlands wherever there is a practical alternative. Section 10 of Executive
Order 11990 authorizes that responsibilities applicable to projects covered by
Section 104 (h) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 may be assumed by
the applicant if the applicant had also assumed all the responsibilities for environmental review.
The executive Order directs the City of Clearwater government to take certain steps:
• To avoid to the extent possible the long and short term impacts associated with the
destruction or modification of wetlands, and
15
• To avoid direct or indirect support of new construction in wetlands wherever there is a
practical alternative. If the City of Clearwater determines that there is no practical
alternative to the use of wetlands for a project, the agency must act to reduce the adverse
impacts on the wetlands. In this case, an eight (8) step review process required by
Executive Order 11990 will be performed.
The U.S. Water Resources Council Guidelines will be followed in areas where wetlands are
suspected.
COASTAL AREAS PROTECTION AND MANAGEMENT
The Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, 1976, and 1980 require that all federal grant
activities which "directly affect" the coastal zone be consistent with approved State and Coastal
Zone Management Plans. Part of the City of Clearwater is within the coastal zone.
Due to the City of Clearwater being highly developed some activities may be funded in the
Coastal Zone. Before any action takes the City will review the flood insurance rate maps to
determine if the project is located in the affected areas. If the project is located in the flood plain
or, the City will comply with all requirements of the Federal Emergency Management Agency
and the Eight Step Decision Making Process for activities located in the 100 year flood plain.
All applicable regulations will be complied with.
WATER QUALITY: SOLE SOURCE AQUIFERS
It has been determined that Pinellas County is sited on an aquifer. According to Tom Miller,
City of Clearwater Assistant Director of Public Works, if the Community Development Block
Grant and HOME Investment Partnership Funds are not used for installing wells or any
subsurface activities, the requirements of the Clean Water Act of 1977 do not apply.
Source documentation: Telephone interview with Mr. Miller on October 12, 2000 at 727-562-
4749.
Activities will not be reviewed for this item because no sole source aquifer has been designated
in Clearwater according to Pinellas County Community Development. Pinellas County source
documentation was Ron Mikulak, Groundwater Protection Branch of the Environmental
Protection Agency in Atlanta on February 14, 1992. Telephone: 404/347-3866. Therefore, the
requirements of the Clean Water Act of 1977 do not apply.
ENDANGERED SPECIES
Under the requirements of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, the City must
determine whether the project/activity is likely to affect endangered or threatened species or
Critical Habitats.
16
The City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan, adopted by the City on May 18, 2000 prohibits
destruction and disturbance of all conservation land uses to protect wildlife and plants
especially those that are threatened or endangered species. The plan also prohibits development
that will needlessly disturb or destroy native vegetation.
Therefore the City will not fund any development that will not comply with the City's
Comprehensive Plan.
WILD AND SCENIC RIVERS
There are no wild and scenic rivers in the City ot� Clearwater. Source data Pinellas County
Community Development Department: Wallace Brittan of the National Park Service in
Atlanta on February 14, 1992. Telephone: 404-331-�838. Therefore, requirements of the Wild
and Scenic Rivers Act of 1969, as amended, do not apply.
The City of Clearwater Comprehensive Plan also does not identify any wild or scenic rivers.
AIR QUALITY
The City's Comprehensive Plan require all ne�� rr�i�icntial and non-residential development to
provide a specified amount of Florida native sh�ci� tr�es baseci ��n an established desired ration
of pervious to impervious surface areas. Shade trc�s �vill ser�c t� pro��ide heat reduction, noise
abatement, buffering, replenishment of oxygen. �nci acsthetic bcautv.
The City shall cooperate with the Tampa Bay R����i��n,�l Plannin�� i'��uncil and Pinellas County in
their efforts to develop plans far improving air y u:: i i��.
The City will enforce all local building codes t�� ��nize air ;,��Ilutants in the development of
housing. In addition, the City will adhere to Pi>>� � uunt� I;�� ir��nm��ital Management's Air
Quality Division's regulations and other appli�:: .�ieral ��r �:�t� rr,�ulations for removal of
asbestos and lead based paint removal.
FARMLANDS PROTECTION
The City of Clearwater is highly urbanized commt�ni�� . No farn�l.�n�i arcas are designated in the
Comprehensive Plan, adopted on May 18, 200O. I I��r�fore th�� �it� :�ssessment Criteria in the
regulation (7 CFR Part 658) do not apply.
NOISE
Activities may be located in areas with a da��-ni`�ht average ��,un�i Ir� cl (DNL) exceeding 65
decibels. Therefore, HUD regulations relati� � t�� cnvironn��ntal critcria and standards for
"Noise Abatement and Control" may apply to the ae�ivities.
l7
A map of noise sensitive zones with the City of Clearwater should be consulted to determine if
the sires are located with these zones. If a project is with a noise sensitive (DNL65 decibels of
above), then mitigation of noise impact for housing and other noise sensitive projects are
required.
HliD Noise Abatement and Control relation 24 CFR 51.10 (a) (5), Subpart B, supports
modernization and rehabilitation activities. For projects located in all noise exposed areas,
HUD shall encourage noise attenuation featured in alternation.
RUNWAY CLEAR ZONES, CLEAR & ACCIDENT POTENTIAL ZONES
Clearwater Airpark is the only airport in the city. It does not provide services for commercial
airlines and is only used for recreational airplanes. The City will determine the runway clear
zones and accident potential zones.
The City will not fund any activities in these areas.
THERMAL AND EXPLOSIVE HAZARDS
Activities may be located near or in an area exposed to thermal/explosive hazard, where
conventional (e.g. petroleum) or hazardous gases (e.g. propane), or chemical (e.g. benzene of
hexane) of flammable nature are stored, if the activity is beyond the Acceptable Separation
Distance (ASD) from the hazard under HUD safety standards of when proper mitigating
measures are taken as set forth in 24 CFR 51 Subpart C.
The term "hazard" does apply to the following: a) Explosive or fire prone substances stored in
container of 100 gallons or less when they contain common industrial fuels, b) hazardous
substances stored underground or comply with applicable Federal, State and Local Safety
Standards, and c) when hazardous facilities aze shielded for the rehabilitation activity by
topography or man-made fire and explosive resistant structures.
Housing staff should consult with the City of Clearwater Fire Department and Environmental
Division for Hazardous Explosive or Flammable sites or HUD if on-site review raises questions
concerning the project.
If it is determined the site is located within the acceptable sepazation distance, the owner must
take the required measures to mediate the site in conformance with the regulations or re-site the
beyond the acceptable separation distance. If not, the City will not recommend funding for the
activity.
WATER QUALITY
The proposed activities will not result in the discharge of effluent into navigable waters, nor
result in the dredging, filling, and disposal of dredged materials into any body of water of
wetlands, beyond the capacity of the City's wastewater system. The City's Comprehensive Plan
outline efforts made by the City to ensure dischazges do not adversely impact navigable waters.
l8
Therefore, the requirement of the Clean Water Act of 1977 does not apply.
SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
The requirements of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 prohibit federally-
assisted activities in ecologically sensitive areas which have been affected by hazardous waste
disposal sites that do not satisfy the Environmental Protection Agency. It has been determined
by the Pinellas County Community Development Department that no hazardous waste disposal
sites exist in the City of Clearwater. Source documentation is Martha Gray of Pinellas County
Environmental Management Department, August 22, 1991. Telephone: 727-462-4761.
Therefore the requirements of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 prohibiting
federally assisted projects in ecologically sensitive areas does not apply.
FISH AND WILDLIFE
The City of Clearwater Housing Division will consult with the City's Environmental Division
to determine if activities will be located within or near a fish or wildlife refuge upon this
determination the requirements of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act will be reviewed for
any possible applicability.
TOXIC AND HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS
The City of Clearwater will give particular attention to any site activity on or within one mile of
area that contain or may have contained hazard waste, such as dumps, land fills and industrial
sites.
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
The City will not use Community Development Block Grant Program and/or HOME
Investment Partnership Funds in activities that will adversely affect low and moderate-income
citizens. Efforts will be made to improve the living standards in the areas affected by
Environmental Justice by deconcentration of low income housing, increasing economic
development opportunities, deconcentration of public facilities, and other measures to improve
the low to moderate income areas.
STATE REGULATIONS
Consultation with the Department of Community Affairs, Florida State Clearinghouse will be
required for all proposed projects including rehabilitation of historic properties.
Permits are required for dredging and filling in waters of the State, construction and connection
of sewage collection and treatment facilities, drainage appurtenances and discharge in waters of
the State under Federal and State laws.
19
LOCAL REGULATIONS
All proposed activities may not commenced until all permits required by the City of Clearwater
Planning and Development Services Department have been obtained and approved.
IMPLEMENTATION OF COMPLIANCE
Housing Division staff, in consultation with appropriate agencies, is responsible for the
implementation of environmental requirements and must assure compliance before transferring
funds to any projects.
DOCUMENTAION OF COMPLIANCE

PROGRAM ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
As many of the specific housing/dwelling units are non-designated at this time the City
had to apply a citywide overview in reviewing the statutory checklist to indicate
compliance with 24 CFR 58.5.
As the specific sites are selected (either individual units or in-groups) further screening
will be undertaken to specifically address any applicable checklist items.
STRATEGY
The City's Strategy to address the site screening process will be as follows:
• A notice of Finding of no significant Impact and Notice of Intent was published for
the CDBG program on 2000. No furthrr notices will be required unless the
scope (location and activities) f the projects chan��e.
• HUD has released the funds (given environmental clearance) for the CDBG Program
effective , 2000. No further release �� i 1 I he necessarv as long as the project
scope remains unchanged. �
• A screening ehecklist will be prepared far thc �ach select��i property (or groups of
properties) to complete the environmental re� ic�� E�rocess.
• Any mitigate measures or further complianc: �� ill be tr:lllti111It1CCI to the property
owner.
• See Checklist.
Any conditions will be carried froth to a de���l��;�_� �u�d/or I���;;��•����n�r. Completion of
this checklist indicates compliance with the cn�. ;:,,nnlental r�� ���� li�r this above listed
dwelling unit(s).
