. b. Presentation - Environmental Justice Plan - Lori Hernandez
(~~)
USF (University of South Florida) environmental science student Lori
Hernandez reviewed the environmental justice plan. Environmental justice plans,
available nationwide, were first developed due to concerned community groups who
demanded State action regarding Brownfields sites. The plan's objective is for
community groups to identify important issues and open lines of communication
with community decision-makers. Many sites are in minority and low-income areas.
Environmental justice can be obtained through enhanced community planning,
efficient assessment and clean-up, productive redevelopment, safe and sustainable
reuse, 'and community involvement. USF, FAMU (Florida Agriculture & Military
University). ICMA (International County Managers Association), and the City will
work to develop the environmental justice plan. Attaining environmental justice
requires public participation, outreach, communication with stakeholders; health and
environmental research; data collection analysis, and public access to information,
enforcement, compliance assurance, and regulatory reviews.
:. ;~,t.....'
~.. :'~~,
Ii,.
. .
In response to a question, Mr. Ballogg said the communication task force is
different from the environmental justice planning action team which will be a
subgroup dealing with environmental justice issues. A $20,000 environmental
justice grant is available to encourage a community group to hire a community
advocate who would work with the City to increase environmental justice
participation. Mr. Ballog9 said increased community participation depends on the
work of a community activist. Another environmental justice grant is available to
distribute free pollution prevention plans when a Brownfields site rehabilitation
agreement is developed.

. C.' Presentation - "Brownfield Recommendations" - Margaret Meyer - DERM
(Department of Environmental Resources Management)
. Margaret Meyer, Brownfields Coordinator for Miami-Dade County, said that
County's 20 member Brownfields Task Force was formed in February 1996,
'convened In May '1996, and meets monthly. Members include bankers, developers,
environmental lawyers and consultants, county agencies, etc~ She reviewed early
. Federal and State grants the organization had obtained and Florida statutes related
to Brownfie/ds. The legislature has not solved the lack of economic incentives and
successful outreach methods. The task force has recommended formally
designating TUAs (Targeted Urban Areas) as Brownfields. The TUAs will have an
economic revitalization task force. ,

Ms. Meyer reviewed financial incentives under evaluation. The Task Force
waives fees for developers in suspected Brownfields areas to promote assessments,
and supply theTask Force with information. The Task Force will create a
Brownfields 'Oversight Committee to finalize recommendations. Interdepartmental'
agreem~l:1ts will be considered to ensure all Federal funding is obtained. The OCED
(Office of Community and Economic Development) works with the Community
Action Agency which report to the County Board of Commissioners f9r the RFP
(Requests for Prop,osal) process. The Task Force uses advisory boards to improve
community' participation and notification.
