DeBlois,AICP <br /> Chief, Environmental Planning <br /> DATE: November 21, 2013 <br /> RE: Request for Approval of Amendment 2 to a Professional Services Agreement <br /> with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. for Remediation of Contamination at the <br /> Shadowbrook Estates Parcel of the South Prong Preserve Conservation Area <br /> It is requested that the Board of County Commissioners formally consider the following information at <br /> �.... the Board's regular meeting of December 3, 2013. <br /> DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br /> In 2007, the County acquired 29 acres known as the Shadowbrook Estates parcel with environmental land <br /> bond funds. The property is located at 7775 85`h Street (a.k.a. CR 510) and is part of the South Prong <br /> Preserve Conservation Area. Prior to closing on the purchase, the County obtained an Environmental Site <br /> Assessment (ESA) of the property that identified limited soil and groundwater contamination. To address <br /> the limited contamination issue, the previous owner entered into an escrow agreement with the County to <br /> pay for remediation work. That escrow agreement was modified under a settlement approved by the <br /> County Commission on December 13, 2011, whereby the previous owner disbursed $100,000 to the <br /> County to be used to finish development of a remediation plan and to achieve regulatory closure with the <br /> Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). On March 5, 2012, the County entered into an <br /> agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (KHA) to conduct the work (see Attachment 2 to this <br /> report). <br /> Since March 2012, KHA has coordinated with FDEP and county staff, has conducted groundwater and <br /> soil testing, and has submitted several reports to the FDEP to address FDEP staff requests for additional <br /> information (RAI). In July 2013, FDEP advised staff that the documentation provided by KHA was <br /> sufficient for regulatory closure of the matter, with a condition that monitoring and testing wells that had <br /> been drilled for the work be fully abandoned and plugged. For that reason, an amendment to the KHA <br /> agreement (Attachment 1 to this report) for KHA to permanently abandon/plug the wells is herein <br /> presented for the Board's approval consideration. <br /> 1 <br /> 70 <br />
