Good afternoon:
1. Some 611,294 gallons of sewage pollution were unlawfully deposited in the San Sebastian River (which is immediately adjacent to our office, with sewage having been detected off our deck by FDEP and COSA).
2. Regarding suitably ambitious projects for our City of St. Augustine to atone for the 611,294 gallons of sewage deposited in San Sebastian River,please see the Oak Ridger article:

3. A suitable project would be for the City of St. Augustine to:
A. Appoint a Director of Environment, Safety, Health and Archaeology (ESHA);
B. Adopt an ordinance protect environmental whistleblowers (as the
Anastasia Mosquito Control Commission of St. Johns County does);
C. Place all environmental, safety, health and archaeological
protection information online, including all MSDS. Data about
water and sewer systems and pollution.
4. As part of this project, The City of St. Augustine should endorse the proposed St. Augustine National Historical Park, Seashore and Scenic Coastal Parkway Act, www.staugustgreen.com, and work to adopt an "emerald necklace of parks."
5. The City of Atlanta created $40 million in xx did for a Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP) due to its sewage pollution when John Henry Hankinson, Jr. was EPA Regional Administrator.
6. Will FDEP now kindly take steps for the City Manager to be investigated by the Statewide Grand Jury regarding all of the pollution for which he is responsible (which is a dogged pattern not remedied by DEP's paltry fines to date)?
7. Is that too much to ask? What do you reckon? Please see article below.
Sincerely,
Ed Slavin
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!
