St'ate approval has been received to provide remediation funding for 804-804.5
Pennsylvania Avenue, which is owned by a private party. CNHS (Clearwater
Neighborhood Housing Services) has an agreement for the property's deed. CNHS
requests environmental clearance before the agreement is finalized.
Member Khatar moved approvaJ for the T AC to review documents as

C. Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund - BRLF (Ballogg)
:,'):

','1
\
J
, Mr. 8allogg said a May 25, 1999, press release and letter from the EPA
Atlanta branch indicate a revolving loan fund grant has been approved for clean.up
efforts of Brownfields sites in Clearwater. Of 40 grants approved nationwide, none
has been used. Clearwater has a financial specialist who works with local lenders
to process loan paperwork and begin clean-up efforts. In response to a question,
Mr. Ball09g said funds are available under the Superfund Law. With strict
stipulations, lenders are not making loans easy to obtain. Funds cannot be used to
clean petroleum sites and require significant documentation. With the advent of
environmental insurance, lenders are more comfortable loaning money for clean-up
efforts. The grant will provide low interest loans 'for specific time periods. As
money is repaid, others can borrow it.

Status of 'Current Projects - 804-804.5 Pennsylvania Avenue (Ballogg), 1108
N. Greenwood (Killian) ,
/o:'~.
Mr. Ballogg said some assessment of the 804-804.5 Pennsylvania Avenue
site had been submitted it to the DEP for review. The formal assessment plan has
been sUbmited to FDEP for review. . Primary soil contamination is from arsenic and
barium. .
Environmental Specialist Supervisor Karma Killian said tanl(s were removed
from 1108 N. Greenwood Avenue in March 1999. . A contractor, hired to delineate
the soil and groundwater contamination, inspected a small area of soil and dug 10'
. feet down rather than 5 feet, as the water table level was low due to lack of rain.
A total of 407 tons of contaminated soil was removed. Contamination at the pit's
perimeter was measured at only 10 parts per million. Although minor, the remaining
contamination affects soils at the water table. Considering natural attenuation, it is
possible the State will .allow t,he City to monitor the site.
t{!:/~
./&'
The T AC will evaluate the site and recommend if additional remediation is
necessary or if natural attenuati9n should be monitored. Ms. Killian said
groundwater contamination has not migrated off site. Sod and a sprinkling system
have greatly improved the site's appearance. All TAC reports, etc. will be copied to
the BAS. The closure report has been submitted to the Pinellas County Public
Health Unit. It is anticipated a standard response will indicate that further
assessment must begin on the site. In response to a question, Mr. 8allogg said it is
anticipated the Greenwood Community Health Resource Center will use the site
after all clean-up work is completed.
E. Brownfields Job Training Partnership (8al1ogg)
Mr. 8allogg said the Brownfields Job Training Partnership is in transition.
Career Options is handling the contract until September 1999. It is possible the
grant then ,will be awarded to PTEC IPinellas Technical Education Center) or to the
Pinellas County Workforce Development Board for Management. Five of 11
. . program graduates are now employed. More than 200 letters have been sent to
companies requesting they consider graduates for positions. The committee will be
provided updated information on this program.
F. Project Map/GIS Update (Ball09g)
Mr. Ballogg referred to a map of current projects. A prosentation on the
projects and costs is scheduled for August. The GIS (Geographic Information
System) is prepared to input contaminated site information into the system.

ITEM 7 - Other Business
A. Environmental Justice Action Plan Update - Renu Khator, University of South
Florida
Member Khator reported on the environmental justice action plan. The
information data gathering is complete from: 11 community forums; 2) staff forums;
3) survey; and 4) brainstorming sessions. A draft will be distributed. The team's
recommendations for a strategy to empower the community regarding Brownfields
will be presented at a future meeting. Dr. Khator said the Brownfie/ds Board is not
well known and must link with the community. The team has invited North and
South Greenwood residents who could link the City and community to address
board meetings. In response to a question, Dr. Khator said community turnout and
involvement were better than expected.
B. Presentation - "Citizens Perspective of the Clearwater 8rownfields Program"
- Residents of the North and South Greenwood Communities
fi ;~~
....u~?1
Two North Greenwood residents spoke. One stated the primary source of
. income for City residents is related to tourism. The quality and quantity of these
jobs are related to water quality. After most City systems drain into Stevenson's
Creek, refuse drops to the creek's bottom and is caught in mangroves. Pollutants
from the creek flow to Clearwater Beach, destroying the beach and related jobs. He
felt the City is responsible for cleaning the creek. Dr. Khator said the Brownfields
program provides an opportunity to focus attention on this area and bring additional
resources to the area. In response to a question, Mr. Ballogg said the Army Corps
of Engineers has been authorized to provide $75,000 in services on preliminary
work on the creek with funding provided by the EPA.
Mr. Ballogg will discuss funding and citizen concerns at next week's Region
4 Brownfields meeting. In response to a question, Mr. Miller said the mouth of
Stevenson.s Creek needs to be dredged of large organic deposits. The City has
begun a watershed planning process to help agencies involved in clean-up. It is
important that property owners prevent contamination. It was suggested the BAB
send correspondence to residents, the public, etc. regarding the creek. Mr. Miller
said providing a public forum is critical for Brownfields clean-up efforts. In response
to a question, he said the governor had vetoed the $1.5 mill/on appropriated by the
legislature to fund Stevenson's Creek clean-up. Senator Latvala will revisit the issue
next year. It was requested that staff update members and residents regarding this
issue. It was suggested local Sierra Clubs be contacted to assist in educating the
public about Brownfields Advisory and TAC meetings.
'....c/
A resident said the newspaper had reported the City budgeted $4 million in
stormwater fees to start the watershed project. She questioned the amount of
remaining funds. Mr. Miller said $2.5 million in stormwater utility funds are
budgeted for lower Stevenson's Creek. The original project was estimated to cost

(~ between $4 M and $6 M. It was remar~ed the amount of sediment in the creek
. ,",., changes aft,er every storm. It was requested signs be posted at the creek indicating
sludge is present and that wading, swimming, or fishing are unsafe. Mr. Miller said
the City's legal department will need to address that issue.
A resident said her husband had heard yelling from 2 young children who
were fishing in the creek. He had to pull them out of the mud, where they were
stuck. It was remarked sludge in the creek is up to 14 feet deep, causing health
and safety hazards and a horrendous stench. It was stated studies indicate bacteria .
in coastal waters are killing alligators and shellfish.
In response to a question, Mr. 8allogg said no master plan exists for
Brownfields, but the City is developing strategies, such as the environmental justice
plan, to 'address issues. Master plans tend to become obsolete quickly.

A South Clearwater resident said she had attended an all day Environmental
Justice conference last week at the Martin Luther King Center. While many North
,Greenwood residents attended, she was disappointed to be the only South
Clearwater attendee. Dr. Khator said an issue.brought up at the brainstorming
sessions noted a lack of connection between North and South Greenwood. North
Greenwood residents are interested in Stevenson's Creek. South Greenwood
residents do not have a similar campaign The South Greenwood Citizens for
Progressive Action is active in community issues. Interest exists wh'en a cause is
identified.
It was suggested the City apply for grants to clean-up Stevenson's Creek as
if it were, an estuary.
