Law Department
Matter ID No,
The City of Miami is serving as the responsible party for contamination cleanup at several City of
Miami sites for environmental compliance with Chapter 24 of the Code of Miami -Dade County.
Designation of the contaminated sites as Brownfields simultaneous to the remediation of these
properties (if necessary) will facilitate voluntary cleanup tax credits for site rehabilitation" In the
event that the property use continues to remain the same (i.e. — city parks); the earned tax credits can
either be transferred or sold. The City properties for Brownfield Designation consideration. are
Aimbrister Park located at 4000 Grand Avenue, and the Coconut Grove Fire Rescue Training Center
loeated at 3900 Thomas Avenue.
Background Information:
This item is a follow-up to the July 24, 2014 adoption to designate several City of Miami parks
subject to environmental cleanup as Brownfield Sites. The Coconut Grove Fire Rescue Training
Center is currently implementing engineering controls to restrict access to contaminated portions of
the property. If upgrades to the facility in the future would warrant exposure to contaminated soil, the
Brownfield Designation would facilitate tax credits for full renediation. The designation of
Arnsbrister Park as a Brownfield Site is for precaution due to the proximity of the park to the Fire
Rescue Training Center (formerly City Incinerator #2). To date, no environmental causes for concern
are present at Armbrister Park,
