,Re: Cit)' Commission Action Request
Dear Mr. Hunt:
, ,
Environmental Advisory Committee Mission Focus
The lettyr from Mr. Huntt Chair of your committee, asked the City Commission to 'Clarify and guide the
. Environmental Advisory' Committee's role. The Commission discussed this issue' at the work session of
May 4, 1992. Some of the comments included:
A.
Could this committee be' a sounding board to the community before policy issues come before the
'Commission?, ",
..' . ~ . r
. ..:'. l
."'......
, . ~.....; . '.; ,~
,..~!'~,~~. B
.",' ..
Can this Committee research and report successful measures implemented by other communities
throug~out the ~a~ion t9 ove~come environmental problems similar to those identified in Clearwater?
Would this Committee utilize staff support only for the development of minutes in accordance 'with
State Sunshine Regulations or for minor technical ass~stance as may be occasionally necessary?
C.
D.
Could this committee brainstorm how to further commission goats regarding conservation
objectives?
E.
This committee should not be a project review committee but rather a research arm of the City
Commission to bring back information to the City Commission.
As a result of the Commission's concerns and intended direction, the Commission has requested the
Environmental Advisory Committee to consider and report to the Commission, at the Committee's earliest
convenience, the results of the following discussio~:
*
Consider and recommend to the Commission a set of goats in the form of a work plan to accommodate
the' Commission's intended purpose for the' Committee.
*
Describe any functional problems in meeting the Commission's direction as defined above.

Subject: Creative Loafing1s April 8 - April 14, 199~
article entitled "Cleanup or Coverup?" by Claude Kennedy
Date: April 10; 1992
The article "Cleanup, or Coverup?'1 in Creative Loafi~g by Claude
Kennedy (attached) stated the three lots on Plaza Street in North
Greenwood .the City donated to Pinellas County Habitat for Humanity
are contaminated with toxic waste!
The' city did donate three lots on Plaza street to Habitat for
Humanity for the construction of three houses for the working poor.
These lots are shown on the attached map as lots 5, 7 and 8 on
Plaza street between Vine and Pennsylvania. Habitat for, Humanity is
an ecumenical, Christian out-reach organization that builds houses
for 'the working poor. All labor and materials are donated gifts
and the mortgage generally runs about $150 per month. Habitat built
three houses on North Missouri Avenue last year.
,The. article stated that these lots were contaminated with toxic
wastes from the city's old Fleet Maintenance Facility. These
buildings now house the City'S Parks and Recreation Department1s
Parks Division and Recreation Facilities Division. In 1988, fhe
Fleet Maintenance facility was qualified for the state' 5 Early
Detection Incentive (EDl) program based on the fact' there were
underground gas and diesel tanks on site. The city proceeded to
pump out the tanks and fill them with concrete slurry. Tests
performed at that time showed there was underground pollution from
the underground tanks. The underground tanks that were filled and
the five test wells are shown on the attached map. The 1988 table
included in the Creative Loafing article is only accurate in that
it includes the test results from 5 test wells submitted with the
city's application for the EDl program. However., the' data in the
table for wells 4 and 5 are transposed. Most significant is that
the underground pollution was on the western most portion of the
Fleet Maintenance Facility at test wells 4 and 5. The ground water
flow is to the west or away from the Habitat lots (See attached
map). Therefore, the pollution that existed in 1988 could not have
polluted the three lots given by the City to Habitat because the
ground water flow was away from,the lots.

Tha artic~c implied that the' drinkin9 water had been contaminated
and may cau~a cancer and other health problem~. This is not truel
This underground pollution has not contaminated the city's drinking
wator. The Pinellas County Public Health and Engineering Division
has conducted a drinking water survey. No municipal or private
'potable drinking water wells are located within an one-half mile
radius of ,the old Fleet Maintenance Facility! In fact, no
,municipal well is within several miles the old Fleet Maintenance
'Facility.
I authorized the hiring of Imperial Testing Labs to perform soil
borings and ground water tests. They used several tests that tested
for diesel and gasoline constituents. Both the soil and ground
, water were tested by using 6 soil borings and 6 wells. The tests
were performed on March 2, ,1992 and the lab'tests March 3 and 4. A
report to the city was completed and received on, l1arch 11 that
showed 11 and, showed all petroleum constituents were below
detectable limits (bdl). The test results are attached. Please note
that ,the article made, a significant issue' in the analysis of
behzene. The city's test showed no benzene. Tha results of these
tests show that the lots the City gave to Habita~ for new housing
are not contaminated.
city staff did discover an underground' used oil tank in the alley
between the houses and the old Fleet Maintenance Facility. 'This
tank is scheduled for'removal by mid-June. This tank has not
p~oduced any detectable contamination.
The facts are that the land the city gave to pinellas Habitat for
'Humanity is not contaminated. The 3 lots the city Commission gave
'to Pinellas Habitat for Humanity nd three houses to be built on
the lots will create a decent living environment for 'the three
fortunate families.

Regulation of the quality and quantity of tbe waters in Florida is principally controlled at
the state level under authority of Chapters 403 and 373, Florida Statutes, and implemented
and enforced by the Flonda Department of Environmental Regulation and the five (5)
Water Management Districts (see Section 5, covering Existing M~agement Programs for
more detail). Local governmeilts round out the overall regulatory scheme by imposing,
requirements of their own.

VIIIt Section2(b) and the Municipal Home Rule Powers Act (F.S. 166.021). and as such has
broad general police powers to ,enact legislation for the health and, public welfare of the
community. This serves as the base authority to satisfy the requirements of 40 CFR
122.26( d)(l)(ii):
This portion of the application is organized such that each of the six parts (A-F), which
~orrespond directly to the six criteria found in 40 CFR 122.26(d)(2)(i), are addressed

SUMMARY OF AUTHORITIES
The legal authority to control the contributi~n of pollutants to the municipal s'torm sewer
by stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity and the qu~ty of stormwater
discharged from sites of industrial, activity is derived from two basic sections of the City
Code. These are the regulations regarding the subdivision of land (City Code Chapter 133)
and the regulations regarding other site development not involving the subdivision of land
(City Code Chapter 137). Chapter 133 provides stormwater diain~ge requiremen,ts which
allow the City control over discharges to storm sewers; including review of all discharges
from ,industrial sites which' are created through the subdivision of ,land. Chapter 137
supplements these storm drainage requirements and applies them to all sites, including
industrial, which are undergoing development. The review process implemented as a result
of these Chapters includes City of CI~arvlater Environmental Group review of water quality
, ,
concerns.
DESCRIPTIONS OF AUTIlORITIES
Legal authorities to control the contribution of pollutants to the municipal storm sewer
system are inte'rspersed throughout the City's Co~e.
City Code Chapter 133 governs subdivision of land. Under Section 133.004, whenever land
within the City is subdivided, a plat must be recorded. No plat may be recorded without
2-3
~VPI!.)
~! > :r.<>,\
,
\. ' ,'.
. '
,(

'I
<
approval. All plats must show the location of watercourses and existing sewers, culverts and
'drains. Permanent drainage easements must also be shown. Stormwater drainage and
retention design standards for plats are contained in Section 133.023 as follows:
1. An adequate stonnwater drainage system designed by a Florida registered engineer
compatible, with the City master drainage plari, and subject to approval by the city
engineer, including necessary open ditches, retention/detentiot1 areas, pipes, culverts.
bridges, intersectional drains and drop inlets, shall be provided for the proper'
drainage of all surface water. Submission of design calculations shall be required by
the city engineer.
2. ' Lots s~all be laid out so as to provide positive drainage away from all buildings and
individual lot drainage shall be coordinated with the 'general storm drainage pattern
, for the plat. Drainage shall be designed so that stormwater is discharged in a '
. .
. . ,
manner that does not adversely 3;ffect adjacent lots or other downstream properties.
3. Stormwater ~etention basins shall be included within the lot lines of adjoining uses
and shall not be lots unto themselves. Subdividers who wish to provide for the
continuing maintenance of detention basins by a form of common responsibility
,
assigned to a certain group or association may do so by deed covenants or agreement
instruments.
Section 133.033 requires filing of construction plans, including storm drainage system plans,
for any area to be subdivided. As~built drawings must be filed for acceptance under this
provision., Through this plat re~ew process the City can control proposed discharges into .
the existin.g system applying the public interest standard recognized by City Code Section
133.003. Subdivision of land is subject to' enforcement in that no building repairing or
remodeling permits may be issued for any stn.l~e or on-site improvements on any land
for which a plat has not been recorded, with the following exceptions:

1. The public acquisition of strlps of land for the widening of existing streets.
2. The reversion~ combination Of recombination of portions of previously platted lots
where ~o new parcels or residual parcels are created which are smaller than any of
the 'original lots or less than the minimum lot area requirements as set forth in
Chapter 135, "Zoning District Regulations.1t
3. The transference of part of one lot or tract to an adjacent lot or tract provided such
transference neither reduces any lot or tract to an area or a width less than that
specified in Chapter 135 nor condescends any other development regulation
contained in this development code.
City Code Section 137.01, plus the design manual "De~ign Criteria, Storm Drainage, C~ty of
Clearwater:' incorporated by City Ordinance 4776-89 (3-16-89), provide design standards for
all properties subject to platting as well as all other projects requiring a building permit.
A site plan and storm drainage plan must be submitted with' all applications; wherein said
,
storm drainage plan shall be confirmed to ';lccommodate the runoff from storm events of
, various design frequencies, dependant upon the type of outfall, plus provide on-site retention
, of the first one-half inch of stormwater runoff.
City Code Section 138.01 adopts the Standard Building Code. Section 1501.2, Drainage
Required, provides that roofs, paved areas,'yards, courts and courtya~ds shall be drained into
a stonn sewer system or a combined sewer system where such systems are available. This
provides an opportunity to control discharges to the storm sewer system.

CITY OF CLEARWATER AMBIENT WA1ER QUAUTY MONITORING
'In addition to the information provided by Pinellas, County, the City of Clearwater's
Environmental Group has collected water quality data from 11 named water bodies at a
total of 29 locations from March 1982 to July 1990. The sampling program was not
designed to depict ac~rate seasonal characteristics. For each year of the program, any
given site may have been sampled monthly (12 times) for one year, while for other years the
site may have only been sampled a few times or not at all. This somewhat sporadic
temporal sampling pattern, nevertheless. includes enough data points for each location such
that a summary of water quality in these water bodies was provided by calculating the mean,
maximum and minimum values for the entire period of record. These data are tabulated
in Appendix B.
The water bodies monitored are designated as Class III Waters as' defined ~y the State of
Florida (Chapter 17-302.560 'F.AC.), and have included Stevenso~ Alligator; Opossum,
Briar, and Bishop Creeks as well as the lakes of Crest, Belle Vue, Hobart, Mocassi~ Sall,

District 27 was created to control development in order to protect interior
(noncoastal) wetlands, environmental sensitive palustrine, lacustrine, and
riverine areas, naturally and artificially made interior water bodies and other
interior submerged lands. This is consistent with Chapter 72.663, Special Acts
of Florida, and the authority of the City to control development within its
boundaries (Ord. No. 4035, Section 2, 8-29-85). >'
Division 28 - Floodplain Overlay District
~istrict 28 was created to control development in flood hazard areas. Section
~35.182 includes requirements for public facilities and utilities such as sewer,
natural gas, electric or water systems to be located, elevated and constructed
in order to minimize or eliminate flood damage and all storm runoff. In
addition, surface and building drainage will be designed to minimize its effect
on the flooding potential and its exposure to flood hazard.

5.0 EXISTING MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS
5.1 GENERAL OVERVIEW
The City of Clearwater's Department of Public Works operates under a combination of
guideliDes for stormwater policies, permitting, and construction des~gn. Guidelines have
,'primarily been developed by the Southwest Florida Water Management District
(SWFWMD) as administered locally by the Pinellas C~unty Department of Environmental
. . ,
Management. In addition to ~WFWMD requireme~ts, the City of Clearwater Department
of Public Works bas published its own manual for storm drainage design criteria. The
various state, county, and municipal. agencies and/or departments that have' programs
pertinent to the City of Clearwater are outlined below.
I
J
!
FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL REGUlATION (FDER)
The Florida Department of Environmental Regulation adopted Floridats State ~ater Policy
(Chapter 17-40 F.A.C.) in 1991 which was created to clarify water policy as documented in
Chapters 187,373, and 403 of the Florida Statutes and to provide guidance to the Florida
Department of Environmental Regulation and State water management districts in rule and ,
,
plan developments. A wide variety of water felated policies were promulgated in this
Chapter including several policies related to stormwater quantity and quality.
"
Included in the general policies, for example, are those related to the 1) preservation,
restoration, enhancement of management systems, and discouragement of' natural
watercourse alteration; 2) protection of wetlands, floodplains, and aquifer recharge areas;
3) establishment of minimum flows ,and levels to protect water resources and the ecology
of marine, estuarine, freshwater systems; 4) floodplains management; 5) construction and
management of stormwater control structures; and 6) restoration and protection of ground '
and surface water through stormwater and wastewater treatment.

,t .:~"
.f'r' .
'"
,,'
, '
('~.
Prior to the promulgation of the State Water Policy, the guiding state regulation related to
stormwater management was Chapter 17M25, FAC, otberwise" known as the State's,
Stormwater Rule. Adopted in 1982! the State Stormwater Rule set forth design and
perforinance standards for both quantity and quality aspects of the stormwater management
problem. As such, Chapter 17-25, FAC, was one of the first state regulations adopted
nationwide to address water quality impacts from stormwater runoffs. Pursuant to Chapter
17-40, FAC, the State Stormwater Rule is scheduled for revision in 1992 to accommodate
, more recent concepts on water quality management.
soUTIIVIEsT FlORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DIS1RICf (SWFWMD) ,
The Florida Department of Enviro'nmental Regulation bas delegated to tho, SWF~MD, to
the maximum extent practical, surface water permit programs as well as stormwater
regulation authority, pursuant to Chapter 17-25, F AC. The District requires a permit for
all impacts to wetlands or construction, alteration or operation of dams, impoundments,
reservoirs, appurtenants works or work as defined in the Plorida Water Resources Act of
1972 (Chapter 373, Florida Statutes).
Permit applicants must obtain an individual, general, or noticed general permit. Chapter
40D~4t F.A.C., documents, the individual permit specifications for construction, alteration,
or operation of surface water management systems. Chapter 40D-40 further documents the
requirements for a general Of noticed general permit. General permits address both water
quantity and quality and can be issued for upland projects from 10 to 100 acres in total size.
General permits also apply for works serving public highway projects using state, federal,
or local government funds. Noticed general permits are not reviewed for their watef
, ,
quantity discharge impacts and apply to projects under 10 acres in size that do not involve
wetlands.

PlNELLAS COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
(PCDEM)
In February, 1990, the SWFWMD 400-4 and 40D-40 permitting authority in Pinellas
County was delegated to the PCDEM. PCDEM, therefore, administers the SWFWMO 400-
4 and 40D-40 permit programs for any works within the City of Clearwater. '
CITY OF ClEARWATER DEPARTMENT OF PUBUC WORKS
All stormwater systems within the City of Clearwater must not only comply with SWFWMD
design criteria, but also must comply with those criteria more restrictive than SWFWMD
specifications that are documented in the City of Clearwater manual of ,Storm Drainage
Design Criteria. This "Design .Criteria" manual has been incorporated into City 'Code
'Section 137.01 by City Ordinance 4776-89 (3~16-89). A copy of the manual is inc1udedin
Appendix C.
Stonnwater permits are reviewed by both Engineering and Environmental Groups within
, the City of Clearwater Department of Public Works. Permits are reviewed for attenuation
aspects by the Engineering Group and for water quality, wetland, and upland preservation
concerns by the Environmental Group.
5.2 FLOOD CONTROL PROmCfS
, .
Publicly owned organizations were contacted for information regarding any flood control
projects that have been completed or are being conducted within the City limits of
Clearwater.
CITY OF CLEARWATER
,The Stevenson Creek Project is the only Flood Control Project conducted by the City of
Clearwater. This project was initiated by trye Public Works Department, at the direction of
the City Commission, after flooding damage occurred to residences along several reaches

currently going through the permitting process, and construction is anticipated to begin in
1993.
FEMA REPEITnVE LOSS PLAN
The City of Clearwater ,has experienced several floods since 1978 resulting in private
, ,
property dam~gc. According to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), the City.of
Clearwater has nineteen (19) repetitive loss properties. By defInition, a' repetitive loss
property is one for whi~h two or more NFIP losses of at least $1,000 each have been paid
since 1978. The repetitive loss properties are mainly concentrated in three (3) areas:
Coastal Communities~ and areas adjacent to the streams within the Stevenson Creek and
Alligator Creek drainage basins. These three (3) areas have been designated by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as being floodprone and have been assigned flood
elevations. Two isolated properties (properties outside of designated floodprone areas) have
also been identified as repetitive loss sites.
The City of Clearwater, Florida, submitted a partial Repetitive Loss Plan application, in
accordance ~th FEMA Regulations, on December 14, 1990. During the year,of 1991, the
City has prepared this effective Repetitive Loss Plan. In addition, in order to move forward
with the ~evelopment of solution.s to flood problems, the City has completed a drainage
study of Stevenson Creek, including design/pennitting, (this ~asin contains :t30% of the
identified repetitive loss sit,es), st~rted construction of the improvements of Stevenson Creek,
and prepared and adopted a stormwater utility program to provide a funding source for the
implementation of other solutions.

. The remaining source o( revenue (65%) is g~nerated ~om a stormwater utility fee ~f ~3.00
per Equivalent Resid'entiaJ Unit (ERU) per mo~th (see Table 6-1). The collection of the
,stormwater utility fee was initiated in January of 1991. The ERU was calculated using the
pwelling vitit Equivalent or DU Equivalent method which is related to the average
impervious area per dwelling unit.
, '
The combined revenue from these two sources, as tabulated in Tables 6-1 through ~-4,
" .
should be sufficient to cover . all expected stormwater program expenses.

6.0 FISCAL RESOURCES
6.1 STORMWATER BUDGET
The City of Clearwater (City) has already provided one-hundred and sixty-six thousand
dollars ($166,000) in its Capital Improvement Program - Stormwater Management Master
Plan for the completion of Part II stormwater permitting process. A copy of the ItEstimated
Budget Fiscal Year 1991-92" for the Stormwater Utility Program has been included in Table
6-1.

6-4 Utility Rates/Comprehensive Stormwater Management Program for 5
Years Ending September 30t 1996
6.2 FUNDING MECHANISMS
Funding for stormwater programs comes from two sources, 1) a County infrastructure tax
, ("Penny for PineUaslt) and 2) a stormwater utility revenue ($3.09/ERU /MO).
Pinellas County voted to allow the collection of an additional 1 cent sales tax (effective
February 1, 1990) for the purpose of paying for capital improvements. This source of CIP
funds will he available for 1.0 years. Each city, including Cleanvatert is receiving a fair share
of these revenues to help fund their respective ClP programs. Table 6-1 shows that about
35% of the City of Clearwater's Stormwater Management budget for FY 1991/92 is
expected to be funded by the "Penny for Pinellastl tax.

In 1975, the' Florida State Legislature passed the Local Government Comprehensive
Planning Act which required every local government in the State to adopt a. local
comprehensive plan. The act was later amended in 1985 and 1986. These amendments
required consistency of local comprehensive plans with State and regional plans, required
the State Department of Community Affairs (DCA), the State's planning agency, to establish
minimum criteria for local comprehensive plans, and to set standards of accountability for
implementation of the, plans. In addition, State regulations required the subsequent
adoption of land development regulations as a mechanism to implement the plan, one year
from the date of compreh~nsive plan adoption.

RECYCLING
The State of Florida regulates "solid waste,tt which is defined in Section 403.703(13), Florida
Statutes (1988 Supp.), and includes virtually all waste materials, including certain liquids and
gases. In 1988, the Florida Legislature adopted the Florida Solid Waste Act (formerly
Senate Bill 1192 and Cbapter 88-130, Laws of Florida) and by doing so established the first
comprehensive approach to solid waste management an~ disposal. This Act constituted a
major revision of Part IV of Chapter 403, Florida Statutes.
The 1988 Act encompasses a wide range of issues and establishes many new regulations
governing' the handling and disposal of solid waste. The Act includes a provision for
mandatory local recycling programs which must reduce the volume of solid waste by 30%
by 1994.
The City of Clea~ater has established a comprehensive recycling program designed to
attain the 30% solid waste volume reduction goal by 1994 set by the State of Florida. The
