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!

National Response Center Report No. 1206710
Two feet of sand, and beach grass, were allegedly removed at Pier Point South Condominium, 390 A1A Beach Blvd. last week by heavy construction equipment, potentially exposing beachgoers and wildlife to toxicants.
Reported to National Response Center this afternoon.
Report will be referred to EPA and FDEP for followup investigation.
Third dune destruction event reported to authorities in St. Augustine Beach since October 2016 -- prior events involved then-Mayor RICHARD BURTT O'BRIEN and Dr. JAMES GRIMES, M.D.
If you see something, say something.
"It takes a village" to protect "our [beach] village," as County Commission Chair Henry Dean calls it.
Report potential pollution incidents at 800-424-8802.
