The Environmental Assessments (provided to you under separate cover) which have been presented complete with the findings, recommendations and certifications to the four Development Groups and their respective financial institutions, and Dade County Environmental Resources Management,-(DERM), have established that there are some exceedances of State and County standards for ground water. There are also elevated levels of several contaminants in the soils, for which either additional site specific testing is recommended and/or for which construction techniques may need to be altered. In addition to this, on Block 24 the presence of contaminated soils associated with industrial and sanitary wastes discharged into an on -site soakage pit has been established. On the basis of their findings and in accordance with their agreement which included the identification of further action, a Phase II Environmental . Assessment and remedial action is recommended by ERM South, Inc., which would include the followings Task I - Conduct a detailed review of the appropriate and available portions of the construction documents and contractors' plans and procedures for each of the four developments in order to specify additional soil sampling requirements in selected areas, if any, and/or to recommend modifications to construction techniques in lieu of sampling.

DERM has also provided the City with a written response to their review, which essentially indicates that the groundwater sampling, analysis and/or remedial action plan as indicated in Task III is required, as well as the excavation and disposal of the contaminated soils from the on —site soakage pit on Block 24, Task IV and Initial Remedial Action . They further indicate that if concerns exist with tke potential risk associated with the contaminant concentrations found in the soils then Tasks I and It should be undertaken, (please see attachment). The Disposition Agreements, executed June 15, 1988, for each of the Blocks include various references to the City's agreement to take responsibility, as property owner, for any activities associated with hazardous materials, environmental concerns and compliance with Environmental Laws, including remedial action. At this time remedial action other that identified in the Phase II Environmental Assessment is not anticipated, however, a final determination cannot be established without the additional testing, monitoring and evaluation. As a result of work on Phase II, the Phase I Environmental Assessment complete with the conclusions, recommendations and certification for each Block will be amended in accordance with the data and findings, to indicate the absence or presence of groundwater pollution and soil contamination. This will place us in compliance with DEWS current requirements and we believe most the needs of the Financial Institutions participating on tk1# project.

Additional documentation of methods, results, and source documents are found in the full report for this site. 4.1 Conclusions Ground water and soils data from Block 24 were compared to Federal, State, and County Standards and were further evaluated In terms of consistency between sample points and media. The following conclusions were drawn, as summarized in Table 4-1. A. violations of standards were documented for ground water, and were confirmed by elevated levels in soils at the same sample point, as follows: at monitoring well NW24-1 for the parameters chromium, lead, mercury, nickel, and selenium; at monitoring well MN24-2 for the parameters chromium; and at monitoring well MR24-3 for the parameters chromium and lead. Violations of standards were documented for ground water, but were not confirmed by elevated levels in soils at the same sample point, as shown in Tabl• 4- //� sS SB-'7i2' Ot l� I. These results indicate that contaminants could have migrated from outside the immediate area. Violations in this category are as follows: at monitorinq wells NW24-2 and NW24-3 for the parameter arsenic. C. Elevated levels of contaminants were found in soil composites from six locations within the site, as shown in Table 4-1. Althouqh there are no standards for these contaminants in soils, it is reasonable to expect that these levels could be causinq ground water violations, if a monitorinq well were installed in the immediate vicinity of a sample location. The parameters with elevated levels in composite samples at this site were 4,4'-DDT, and 4,4'-DDE. 4.2 Recomasendations Based on the results and conclusions presented above for Block 24, the followinq additional investigations, remedial actions, or construction guidelines are recommended to be implemented as outlined in Table 4-2: A. Additional ground water sonitorinq is required for the wells and parameters where violations were detected. This sonitorinq would include the followinq: chromium, lead, mercury, nickel, and a 0 selenium at well MM24-lt chromium and arsenic at well MN24-2t and chromium, lead and arsenic at well MM24- 7. This monitoring should be conducted initially on a one time basis, however, analyses should be run on both the total and dissolved components for each parameter. Since the previous analysis was for the total component, and since many of these analyses were only slightly above standards, it can be assumed that many of the parameters will not violate standards, since the dissolved component is by definition less than the total. Therefore, if the dissolved component is less than the ground water standard, no further monitoring will be required. However, if the dissolved component is above standard, the owner will have two options: 1) to demonstrate via off -site wells or available data that the parameter being violated has an elevated "background" level throughout the region, or 2) to conduct additional sampling and analysis of on -site soils to locate and remove the source of soil contamination, and subsequent samplinq and analysis to confirm that soil removal has eliminated ground water violations. e. Additional analysis of the sxistinq soil composite 0 0 is required in order to determine maximum concentrations in soils at each of the six sample points makinq up the composite. This analysis would include the following parameters: 4,4'-DDT, and 4,4'-DOE. If the maximum concentrations determined above are exceedingly high, additional analysis of selected, existinq soil samples may be required usinq the EP Toxicity Test. These results will define whether the soils at the individual sample points/depths are hazardous (and need to be excavated), or whether they are non -hazardous. If soils are slightly contaminated but non -hazardous, they can remain in place. This is based on the assumption that future leachinq of these contaminants will be mitigated by minisisinq infiltration (see Part D, below). C. Excavation and disposal of soils is currently required at Block 24. As noted previously, Netro Dade DERV tiles revealed a Waste Dumpinq violation (#109471) dated November 7, 1965 for operations . conducted at 975 N.W. 1st Avenue, Lots 9, 10, 11, and 12. Industrial and sanitary wastes were being discharged to an on -site soakage pit. Data obtained durinq this study (see Well 24-3, Table 3-1) confiros that violations of ground water quality are occurring in this area. Visual inspection of a tewporarr excavation pit (see Photo No. 2, Appendix F) in this area confirmed that subsurface soils are visibly stained. Plans from the City of Miami Building Department (Microfiche No. 70-2403) indicates that the subject property contained seven catch basins connected to a 3 ft. wide, 5 ft. deep, 90 ft. long soakage pit. It is therefore recommended that the catch basins, interconnecting piping, and soakage pit be excavated under the supervision of a registered engineer. Soils thus excavated must be tested and disposed in accordance with Metro Dade DERM guidelines. Due to the elevated concentrations of contaminants in soils at the site, the following construction guidelines should be implemented: 1) Existinq soils should be covered with clean fill in order to minimize worker and resident exposure. It is also assumed that clean fill will reduce storm water infiltration through contaminated soils. 2) Clean fill and existing soils should be covered, to the maximum extent possible, with impervious surfaces (cement or asphalt) to minimise or ■ A eliminate infiltration of storm water through contaminated soils. Also, storm water drainage should be channeled to the exterior of the site (or if storm water must infiltrate on -site, then contaminated soils in areas of proposed soakage pits must be first excavated to the ground water table and be properly disposed). 3) The use of on -site wells for potable or non - potable uses is to be prohibited. 4.3 Cartiticate I, James B. Cowart, P.E. as Principal of ERM-South, Inc.

The following conclusions were drawn, as summarised in Table 4-1. A. violations of standards were documented for growmd water, and were confirmed by elevated levels in soils at the same sample point, as follows: monitoring well W37-1 and MW37-2 for the parameter chromium. H. violations of standards were documented for qround water, but were not confirmed by elevated levels in . soils at the same sample point, as shown in Table 4- 1. These results indicate that contaminants could have migrated from outside the immediate area. violations in this category are as follow: at .. ERM monitorinq well NW37-2, for the parameter selenium. C. tlevated levels of contaminants were found in soils at monitorinq well locations, but were not detected in ground water, as shown in Table 4-1. These results indicate that contaminants have adsorbed onto soils, but have not leached into the qround water. These elevated levels were detected as follows: at monitorinq well NW37-3 for the parameter lead. D. Elevated levels of contaminants were found in soil composites from six locations within the site, as shown in Table 4-1. Althouqh there are no standards for these contaminants in soils, it is reasonable to expect that these levels could be causinq ground water violations, if a monitorinq well were installed in the immediate vicinity of a sample location. The parameter with elevated levels in composite samples at this site was mercury. 4.2 ations Based on the results and conclusions. presented above for Block 37, the followinq additional investigations, remedial actions, or construction quidelines are recommended to be implemented as outlined in Table 4-2: A. Additional ground water monitorinq is required for the wells and parameters where violations were M:M[ZE6RtM1 monitorinq well MN37-2, for the parameter selenium.

Additional documentation of methods, results, and source documents are found in the full report for this site. 4.1 Conclusions Ground water and soils data from Block 46 were compared to Federal, State, and County Standards and were further evaluated in terms of consistency between sample points and media. The following conclusions were drawn, as summarized in Table 4-1. A. Violations of standards were documented for ground water, and were confirmed by elevated levels in soils at the same sample point, as follows: monitoring well KV46-1 for the parameters chromium and load; at monitoring well Mi46-2 for the parameters chromium, lead, 4,4'-DDT, and 4,4'-DDEt and at monitoring well Mt46-3 for the parameters 4,4'-DDT and 4,4'-DDE. S. Violations of standards were documented for ground water, but were not confirmed by elevated levels in soils at the same sample point, as shown in Tables 4- ECM 1. These results indicate that contaminants could have migrated from outside the immediate area. Violations in this category are as follows: at monitoring well MN46-1, for the parameters selenium, 4,4'-DDT, and 4,4'-DO6. C. Elevated levels of contaminants were found in soils at monitoring well locations, but were not detected in ground water, as shown in Table 4-1. These results indicate that contaminants have adsorbed onto soils, but have not leached into the ground water. These elevated levels were detected as follows: at monitoring well MN46-3 for the parameters chromium and lead. D. Elevated levels of contaminants were found in soil composites from six locations within the site, as shown in Table 4-1. Although there are no standards for these contaminants in soils, it is reasonable to expect that these levels could be causing ground water violations, if a monitoring well were installed in the immediate vicinity of a sample location. The parameters with elevated levels in composite samples at this site were: chromium, lead, 4,4'-DDT, and 4,4'-DDE. .. ® based on the results and conclusions presented above for Block 46, the following additional investigations, remedial actions, or construction guidelines are recommended to be Implemented as outlined in Table 4-2: A. Additional ground water monitoring is required for the wells and parameters where violations were detected. This monitoring would include the followinq: chromium, lead, selenium, 4,4'-DDT, 4,49- DOR at well PIK46-1t chromium, lead, 4,4'-DDT, and 4,4'-DOS at well MN46-2, and 4,4'-DOT, 4,4'-DDi, chromium and lead at well NW46-9. This monitoring should be conducted initially on a one time basis, however, analyses should be run on both the total and dissolved components for each parameter. Since the previous analysis was for the total component, and since many of these analyses were only slightly above standards, it can be assumed that many of the parameters will not violate standards since the dissolved component is by definition less than the total. Therefore, if the dissolved component is less than the ground water standard, no further monitoring will be required. However, if the dissolved component is above standard, the owner will have two options: 1) to demonstrate via off -site wells or available data that .. E R b�R M 5 based on the results and conclusions presented above for block 46, the following additional investigations, remedial actions, or construction guidelines are recommended to be implemented as outlined in Table 4-2: A. Additional ground water monitoring is required for the wells and parameters where violations were detected. This monitoring would include the followings chromium, lead, selenium, 4,4'-DDT, 4,41- DDE at well MN46-1, chromium, lead, 4,4'-DDT, and 4,4'-ODE at well Mw46-2, and 4,4'-DDT, 4,4'-00I, chromium and lead at well MN46-3. This monitoring should be conducted initially on a one time basis, however, analyses should be run on both the total and dissolved components for each parameter. Since the previous analysis was for the total component, and since many of these analyses were only slightly above standards, it can be assumed that many of the parameters will not violate standards since the dissolved component is by definition less than the total. Therefore, if the dissolved component is less than the ground water standard, no further monitoring will be required. However, if the dissolved component is above standard, the owner will have two options: 1) to demonstrate via off -site wells or available data that ■ the parameter beinq violated has an elevated "background" level throughout the region, or 2) to conduct additional samplinq and analysis of on -site soils to locate and remove the source of contamination and subsequent sampling and analysis to confirm that soil removal has eliminated ground water violations. e. Additional analysis of the existinq soil composite is required in order to determine maximum concentrations in soils at each of the six sample points making up the composite. This analysis would include the followinq parameters: chromium, lead, 4,4'-DDT, and 4,4'-DDE. If the maximum concentrations determined above are exceedingly high, additional analysis of selected, existinq soil samples may be required using the EP Toxicity Test. These results will define whether the soils at the individual sample points/depths are hazardous (and need to be excavated), or whether they are non -hazardous. It soils arm slightly contaminated, but non -hazardous, they can remain in place. This is based on the assumption that future leachinq of these contaminants will be mitigated by minimizinq infiltration (see Part D, below) . C. txcavation and disposal of soils is not currently required at Block 46, pending the results of the activities recommended in item e, above. D. Due to the elevated concentrations of contaminants in soils at the site, the following construction guidelines should be implemented: 1) existing soils should be covered with clean fill in order to minimize worker and resident exposure. It is also assumed that clean fill will reduce storm water infiltration through contaminated soils. 2) Clean fill and existing soils should be covered with impervious surfaces (cement or asphalt) to minimize or eliminate infiltration of storm water through contaminated soils. Also, storm water drainage should be channeled to the exterior of the site (or if storm water must infiltrate on -sits, then contaminated soils in areas of proposed soakage pits must be first excavated to the ground water table and be properly disposed. . 3) The use of on -site wells for potable or non - potable uses is to be prohibited. 2, James B.

[Ey t uar t Lc**-OO F'Y NWT- "M COPCWttoNS, FJcorGWa►TrM AND CXXTrnCATrOK This section discusses conclusions, recommendations, and certification of actions taken by MUI-South, Inc. in conducting a contamination assessment of Block 55 of the Southeast Overtown/park Nest Redevelopment. Additional documentation of methods, results, and source documents are found in the full report for this site. 4.1 Conclusions Ground water and soils data from Block 55 were compared to Federal, State, and County Standards and were further evaluated in terms of consistency between sample points and media. The following conclusions were drawn, as summarized in Table 4-1. A. Violations of standards were documented for ground water, and were confirmed by elevated levels in soils at the same sample point, as follows: monitoring well MM55-1 for the parameter selenium. B. Violations of standards were documented for ground water, but were not confirmed by elevated levels in soils at the same sample point, as shown in Table 4- 1. These results indicate that contaminants could have migrated from outside the immediate area. Violations in this category are as follows: at monitoring well MSS-2 for the parameter arsenic. C. llevated levels of contaminants were found in soil composites from six locations within the site, as shown in Table 4-1. Although there are no standards for these contaminants in soils, it is reasonable to expect that these levels could be causing ground water violations, if a monitoring well were installed in the immediate vicinity of a sample location. The parameters with elevated levels in composite samples at this site were: lead, anthracene, benzo(a)anthracens, benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(q,h,I)perylone, benzo(k)fluoranthene, chrysene, fluoranthene, indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene, phenanthrene, and pyrens. 4.2 BRcMEsandaUgm Based on the results and conclusions presented above for block SS, the following additional investigations, remedial actions, or construction guidelines are recommended to be implemented as outlined in Table 4-2: A. Additional ground water monitorinq is required for the wells and parameters where violations were detected. This monitoring would include the following: selenium at well MUSS-1, and arsenic at well MU55-2. f� This monitoring should be conducted initially on a one time basis, however, analysis should be run on both the total and dissolved components for each parameter. Since the previous analysis was for the total component, and since many of these analyses were only slightly above standards, it can be assumed j that many of the parameters will not violate the s standards, since the dissolved component is by definition less than the total. Therefore, if the dissolved component is less than the ground water standard, no further monitoring will be required. However, if the dissolved component is above i standard, the owner will have two options: 1) to demonstrate via off -site wells or available data that the parameter being violated has an elevated "background" level throughout the region, or 1) to conduct additional sampling and analysis of on -site soils to locate and remove the source of contamination, and subsequent sampling and analysis to confirm that soil removal has eliminated ground water violations. B. Additional analysis of the existing soil composite is required in order to determine maximum concentrations in soils at each of the six sample points making up the composite. This analysis would include the following parameters: lead, anthracene, benzo(a)enthracene, benso(a)pyrene, benzo(q,h,i)perylene, bento(k)fluoranthene, chrysene, fluoranthene, indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene, phananthrene, and pyrens. If the maximum concentrations determined above are exceedingly high, additional analysis of selected, existing soil may be required using the EP Toxicity Test. These results will define whether the soils at the individual sample points/depths are hazardous (and need to be excavated), or whether they are non -hazardous. If soils are slightly contaminated but non -hazardous, they can remain in place. This is based on the assumption that future leaching of these contaminants will be mitigated by minimizinq infiltration (see Part D, below). C. Excavation and disposal of soils is not currently required at Block SS. D. Due to the elevated concentrations of contaminants in soils at the site, the following. construction guidelines should be implemented: 1) Existinq soils should be covered with clean fill in order to minimize worker and resident exposure. It is also assumed that clean fill will reduce storm water infiltration through contaminated soils. 2) Chan fill and existing soils should be covered with impervious surfaces (cement or asphalt) to minimise or eliminate infiltration of storm water through contaminated soils. Also, storm water drainage should be channeled to the exterior of the site (or if storm water must infiltrate on -site, then contaminated soils in areas of proposed soakage pits must be first excavated to the ground water table and be properly disposed. 3) The use of on -site wells for potable or non - potable uses is to be prohibited. 4.3 Cartificats I, James B.
