Holmes Blvd. landfill - Chief Operations Officer Regan outlined a draft consent order with the state Department of Environmental Protection that would dispose of transferred landfill from the south end of Riberia Street by February 2009 and establish environmental monitoring at the Riberia Street site.
Regan said costs would include $840,000 for the disposal project and $340,000 for a monitoring system and capping with clean soil and landscaping on Riberia Street. Under the plan, the material will be separated at Holmes Blvd., with clean fill transferred to a Nassau County environmental landfill for required layer separation, and remaining solid material transferred to an authorized landfill. The plan will be detailed at a public meeting May 8 in the Alcazar Room, voted on by commissioners at their May 12 meeting, then sent to the Nassau County Commission for approval.
In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!
