In order to provide continuity for research, items are listed in agenda order. although
not necessarily discussed in that order.
ITEM A - Call to Order
The meeting was called to order at 4:07 p.m. at the Municipal Services
Building.
ITEM B - Approve Minutes
Member Carson moved to approve the minutes of the regular meeting of
March 8, 1999, as submitted in written summation to each board member. The
motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
ITEM C - The Risk Assessment MethodoloQv lOr. Ravmond Harbison)
Raymond Harbison presented information on risk assessment methodology.
Brownfietds development permits flexibility in risk assessment methodology. He
noted concerns that flexibility could increase risk. People are concerned chemicals
in the environment can affect drinking water or air and cause adverse affects. Prior
to 1976, no regulations addressed hazardous waste. He noted concerns regarding
decisions related to permissible concentrations on contaminants in soil, water, food,
air, homes, and construction materials. He reviewed: 11 toxicity; 2)' exposure; 31
dose and dose response curve; 4) risk assessment components; 5} ways people can

be exposed to chemicals; 6) governmental regulations; 71 safety factors; 8) hazard
quotients; '91 chronic toxicity; and 10J carcinogens.
, "
Dr. Harbison said chemicals are part of everyday life. Risk assessments
evaluate exposure,' dose, and health effects., All substances are poisonous at some
level of exposure. As different chemical compounds cause diverse health effects,
risk assessment results for each type of health effect will differ. Hazard ranking is
based on the quantity and toxicity of each chemical emitted. All chemicals can be
divided into risk assessment methodologies: 11 linear extrapolation of dose curve
and 21 a threshold. To protect public health, the EPA (Environmental Protection
. Agency) has adopted a policy that does not identify a threshold value for any
carcinogen.
Dr. Harbison felt the Brownfields development strategy should be flexible
when identifying and locating contamination. He said in Florida, while a quotient
greater than 1 is unacceptable, a higher level may be permissible in an industrial site
or due to other variables. Cancer risks are calculated by cancer slope factors and
dose. Unlike other risks, cancer risks are theoretical and cannot be verified. He
said the true value of risk is unknown and could be zero. In response to a question,
Dr. Harbison said the best way to educate the public regarding acceptable levels of
risk is to compare indoor and outdoor air contamination.
ITEM D - Environmental Justice Update - IMiles Ballol:lQI
, ~~
~
Economic Development Programs Manager Miles Ballogg said ICMA
(International County and City Managers Association) has funded a strategic
environmental justice plan through Florida A&M and USF (University of South
Florida) Environmental Policy Group to establish a model plan for municipalities to
deal with environmental justice issues. Environmental justice is the fair and
impartial treatment of all peoples with respect to environmental issues. The ICMA
funded environmental justice plan i'n New Orleans was used as a springboard for
community ideas on identifying environmental issues. A follow-up meeting
addressed community awareness of Brownfields and incentives, methods to obtain
information from cities on current projects, development of participatory processes,
and specific development issues.

City Brownfields sites under scrutiny are 11 1108 North Greenwood Avenue
(gas station); 2) IMR (Information Management Resourcesl site; and 3) a florist
location listed on the surplus list. The colleges will work on a Brownfields
awareness module. Assistant Director of Engineering Tom Miller will present an
update on Stevenson's Creek restoration. The next environmental justice meeting
will be held May 27, 1999, at 6:00 p.m. A meeting with the EPA is scheduled in
June. The Center for Environmental Public Oversight has offered to conduct a 1-
day workshop of Brownfields issues with experts.

ITEM E - "Brownfields 1 0 1" Education Proaram Discussion - (Tom'Millerl
, Assistant Director of Engineering Tom Miller recommended postponing the
Brownfields 101 education program until Reml Khator, environmental justice plan
team member, provides additional information. ' , '
ITEM F' - Proiect Discussion - (Karma Killian)
1} North Greenwood
'"
Environmental Specialist Karma Killian said the underground storage tank
removal on the corner of North Greenwood Avenue and LaSalle was successful.
Six months ago, the City had razed the old service station on the site. During
Phase' 2, soil borings and temporary monitoring wells were installed. A waste oil
tank was removed but soil contamination was found around it. PCB contamination
does not appear excessive. Within a few weeks, the contaminated soil will be
excavated. When the underground storage tanks were removed, the soil was
screened and 'no contamination was found in those vaults. It was determined
neither soil contamination nor odors have seeped beyond the western or southern
property lines. The site should be easy to clean up.
.
. The SOLlth Greenwood location requires no further action. In response to a
question, Mr. 8all09g said a BSRA (Brownfields Site Rehabilitation Agreement) is
being considered at that site due to groundwater quality. A BSRA will be necessary
if a nonp'roflt, organization develops the site.
Discussion ensued regarding the BSRA and site. It was suggested the board
first receive more information from the environmental justice team. It was
suggested the board consider preparing a BSRA for an exercise.
2) Town Pond
, Mr. Miller said the 2.5-acre town pond is a several blocks east of the
Municipal Services Building on Pierce and Ewing streets. Due to contamination
problems and the level of nutrients, staff has determined the pond does not support
treatment. The goal of the pond is to improve water quality and flood protection,
provide an economic incentive for redevelopment. Nearby property owners will
contribute to the project's cost. Land must be purchased for the pond.
ITEM G - Public Discussion - None.
liTEM H - Establish Future MeetinQ Date and AQenda
The next meeting is scheduled tentatively for June 14, 1999, at 3:00 p.m.
at the Martin Luther King Center,'
