Type: Resolution
Subject: Execute Agreement - Watson Island
Purpose of Item:
To authorize the City Manager to enter into a site access agreement for Port of Miami
Watson Island, for FDEP to conduct a fully funded environmental site assessment, at no
cost to the City of Miami, and remediation if necessary. The site access agreement will
authorize FDEP to conduct the necessary assessment and remedial cleanup and
manage the project in its entirety which includes selection of a contractor, and all
financial transactions directly between FDEP and the contractor. The City will reserve
the right to be informed about all testing results and remediation decisions to make sure
that FDEP work does not affect normal facility operations.
Background of Item:
Port of Miami Watson Island had a documented discharge of petroleum product on June
19, 1990. The discharge at the property is eligible for funding under the June 19, 1990
Petroleum Cleanup Participation Program (PCPP). The PCPP states there is a 25%
site owner or responsible party co -pay and the State will pay up to $400,000 for
remediation activity.
Additionally, the priority score for Watson Island is seven (7), which FDEP has found
that approximately 30 percent of the low score sites require minimal or no remediation.
As of July 23, 2018, the Watson Island property is eligible for the State to further
investigate contingent upon an executed site (property) access agreement.
