March was the time for that to happen at EYW. More than a dozen agencies attended the exercise conducted in and around the derelict Cuban airliner that has been on the field for the last 11 years. We received great press coverage both locally and nationally. The Associated Press was here to cover the event and they did both a print story and a video piece that was posted on YouTube.

Approximately 110 people were in attendance. Commercial/Business Hazardous Waste Management Brochure In the process of coordinating the workshops, staff developed a Hazardous Waste Management brochure targeting small businesses. Recycling • Staff met with the owners of Looe Key Dive Resort again. Looe Key Dive Resort wanted to implement recycling for the hotel and restaurant on property. Staff recommended going from an 8yd trash dumpster picked up three times per week to using a 4yd trash twice a week and a 4yd recycling dumpster. This will result in a cost savings of $815.00 per month. Waste Management and Looe Key decided on a 6yd trash twice a week and a 4yd recycle but Waste management insisted on two 96gal recycle totes for glass and other recyclables and to use the 4yd recycle for cardboard only. This does provide a savings of $576.04 per month, but does not allow the customer to co -mingle their recyclables which would be an extra savings of $40.82 per month for a total savings of $616.86. Speaking with Looe Key they would be able to co -mingle all recyclables into the 4yd recycle dumpster and take advantage of the 16 extra savings. Staff will be setting up an appointment with Greg Sullivan and Margaret Lara of Waste Management to correct this issue and insure that the marketing of the cardboard only dumpsters and dividing up of recyclables is no longer practiced. Staff will monitor their progress in the upcoming months. • Staff also met with the new KiKi's Sandbar Grill and Pub on Little Torch Key to see if recycling had been set up the way we discuss prior to their opening. Staff recommended a 4yd recycling dumpster. Waste Management provided a 2yd cardboard only dumpster and three 96gal recycling totes. Again Waste Management insisted on separating the recyclables which increases the cost for our commercial accounts. This practice is discouraging to our commercial accounts. These commercial customers feel if they can co -mingle at home, why they are asked to separate as a business and absorb an unnecessary extra cost. Staff will discuss this with Waste Management and report on the outcome. • Staff was in Waste Management, Marathon Garbage and Keys Sanitary service areas with the ongoing inspections of commercial and residential recycling practices. • Staff met with Greg Konrath of Marathon Garbage Service to discuss implementing recycling in Section 8 Housing Authority properties in the Marathon area. Mr. Konrath stated that he did not think it was a good idea. Mr. Konrath said he had tried it before but tenants were putting trash into the recycling dumpster. Staff will have another meeting with Mr. Konrath and see about utilizing smaller individual 18 gallon bins after surveying the tenants and their needs. • Staff met with Todd Carter of Keys Sanitation to discuss the ongoing recycling pilot program at Tradewinds Plaza in Key Largo. Mr. Carter is trying to increase the size and amount of recycling dumpsters at the plaza. The tenants are using what has been provided very well. Mr. Carter is working on a cost savings analyses for the owners of the plaza in hopes that they keep the recycling efforts going at the plaza. • Staff met with Keys Sanitation about placing recycling bins at the Key Largo transfer station for county residents to pick up. Keys Sanitation welcomed the idea and offered to place as many as we want there and restock them as we get low. • Staff met with Marathon Garbage about placing recycling bins at the Long Key transfer station for county residents to pick up. Marathon Garbage would prefer to keep them at their site for customer pick up. Marathon Garbage was concerned that if they were at the Long Key transfer station that some might end up being taken by the residents of Islamorada. • Staff spoke with Waste Management about not providing recycling services to the HUD housing complex Atlantic Pines at 400 County Road in Big Pine Key. Waste Management will be delivering an 18 gallon recycling bin for each of the 14 units on property and placing them on the recycling route as requested by Monroe County Recycling staff. Staff will meet Waste Management upon delivery and hand out the bins and recycling info to the residents. This is to take place the week of March 31st and mark the first time this complex has been able to recycle. • A trial order of three new recycling tops for the recycling cans donated by Coca Cola arrived and recycling informational stickers are being designed for these drums. Staff met with Barrett Printing Company about the design. We are waiting on the final designs to choose from, order and then place the new recycling containers at Monroe County's Bay Point Park. After being placed there we hope to continue this practice 17 from County Park to County Park with the commission's approval. This is a very cost effective way to replace much need trash and recycling cans throughout the county parks. • Staff met with Infrastructure Corp. (ICA), the State of Florida right of way clean up contractor about placing the prison work camp recycling in plastic bags. Staff requested that they dump it out of the plastics bags when it is brought to the transfer station for recycling. They now understand the procedures and will remove from the plastic bags in the future. • Staff met to discuss the Trash and Recycling contract being presented to the county haulers. Staff made recommendations for changes and additions to the contract and forwarded on these requests to Rhonda Haag Sustainability Program Manager Monroe County. • Staff made arrangements with Sigsbee Charter Shool for an electronic waste and hazardous waste amnesty day. Staff collected 8000lbs of electronic and hazardous waste from the school. • Staff met to discuss three PowerPoint presentations (at Harvey GC, Marathon GC and the Nelson GC in March). These presentations are at the request of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection Agency. The Presentations will focus on household hazardous waste disposal for Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generators (Businesses). They will focus on how to reduce hazardous waste, the cost of disposal, proper storage, handling, transportation and the laws that govern Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generators. • Staff met and assembled information folders for the attendees of the Hazardous Waste presentations. • Staff distributed flyers from Key West to Key Largo for the DEP sponsored Hazardous Waste Presentations. • Staff presented Hazardous Waste power point presentation at all three Government Buildings. • Staff attended a meeting with the Monroe County Environmental Education Advisory Council. Staff voted on environmental education Teacher awards for 2014 and discussed the EnviroThon competition for Monroe county schools they are holding in May of 2014. • Staff prepared an abstract to the North American Hazardous Materials Management Association (NAHMMA) committee for consideration of a PowerPoint presentation on Monroe County at the 2014 National Conference in Orlando. • Staff posted flyers advertising the special weekend Household Hazardous Waste/Electronic waste collections that will take place in April. Parks and Recreation The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board held its March meeting at Stock Island Marina. There were approximately 40 attendees. Architect Bill Horn made a presentation about the two schemes for Bernstein Park that the Board had previously recommended. Attendees were very excited about the possibilities of a redeveloped Bernstein Park and the lift that it will provide for the community. Next Parks and Recreation Advisory Board meeting is scheduled for April 7th, at the Murray Nelson Govt. and Cultural Center in Key Largo. 18 The Advisory board is also helping promote the visit of the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall which will be at the Key Largo Park from April 11 through April 14, 2014.

Environmental Resources staff also conducts review of applications for Conditional Use approvals, variances to dock & shoreline regulations and prepares amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code (including Tier Overlay District map amendments). In addition, Environmental Resources staff provides staff support to the County's Climate Change Advisory Committee and the Southeast Regional Climate Change Compact. Building Permit Application Review Biologists review building permit applications for compliance with Land Development Codes related to: • Storm water management • Land Clearing • Landscaping • Fencing • Shoreline setbacks • Docking facilities • Wetland fill • Endangered Species impacts (PRP) Biologists also review building permit applications for compliance with the Permit Referral Process (PRP), which requires the County to evaluate applications for new 36 development for potential impacts to Federally listed species under the Endangered Species Act. During the month of February, staff reviewed XX applications for compliance with the PRP. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has revised the Species Assessment Guides used in the review of permit applications, and Environmental Resources staff has processed an amendment to the Land Development Code to reflect these revisions. Building permit reviews for the month of February 2014 consisted of 235 plan reviews not associated with the PRP. Biologists conducted over 70 field reviews in February in support of permitting services, either to aid in the review of current applications or inspections of permitted activities. Staff conducted an additional 4 site reviews in support of Code Compliance, primarily for overgrown canals. Conditional Use Applications & Pre -application meetings The Sr. Administrator for Environmental Resources provides review of applications for Conditional Use approval and participates in pre -application conferences (along with the preparation of Letters of Understanding). There were 2 pre -application conferences in February. Planning Commision Hearings Environmental Resources staff participated in the Planning Commission meeting on February 26th. BOCC Hearings Environmental Resources staff did not provide presentations to the BOCC in February. Land Acquisition Initiatives Environmental Resources plays a key role in the development of strategies for the County's land acquisition initiatives and participated in meetings with the Cabinet Aids and key FDEP staff in Tallahassee in October 2013. Throughout February staff continued to develop land acquisition strategies and will be seeking BOCC approval in February 2014 to implement specific strategies. Key Deer National Wildlife Refuge (KDNWR) planning The Environmental Resources Department participated with staff of the KDNWR and other stakeholders in strategic planning coordination meetings related to amendments to the management plan for Key Deer in February. Committee/Task Force support The Environmental Resources office provides staff support for the County's Climate Change Advisory Committee and the Southeast Florida Climate Change Compact. In addition, the Sr. Administrator of Environmental Resources co-chairs the Lands & Natural Systems committee of the Climate Compact, and continued efforts to develop a Vital Signs Network for monitoring climate related impacts to the natural resources of Southeast Florida. 37 Comprehensive Plan & Land Development Code updates and amendments As with the Growth Management Division in general, Environmental Resources is very busy participating in the update of the Comprehensive Plan. Other non -permit related services provided include coordination and meetings with numerous individuals and agencies, including the following: • Monroe County Climate Change Advisory Committee • Southeast Florida Climate Change Compact • USFWS Permit Referral Process coordination Public Speakin2/Education Events The Environmental Resources staff routinely interacts with the residents of Monroe County to explain Land Development Codes, to help identify plants and animals that residents inquire about, and to engage interested parties in workshops or meetings related to improving County services. Endangered Species Coordination The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service notified Environmental Resources staff that the Service was preparing to recommend additional species endemic to the Florida Keys for listing as endangered under the Endangered Species Act. Environmental Resources staff continues to participate (along with additional Growth Management staff) in bi-weekly coordination conferences with FWS regarding the future listing of these species and the designation of critical habitat on Big Pine Key and No Name Key. Staff is processing an amendment to the Land Development Code to address the inclusion of additional endangered species. This ordinance is projected to go to the BOCC for approval in March 2014. Go Solar Challenge The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) awarded a $1.6 million Rooftop Solar Challenge II competitive award to Broward County and their team, of which Monroe County participates, to make it easier for Floridians to obtain grid -tied solar installations. Go SOLAR Florida is one of eight recipients nationwide to receive the grant, which will be used over the next two and a half years to increase the use of and access to solar energy among residents and businesses by reducing market barriers, lowering non -hardware related installation costs and providing access to financing options. Environmental Resources Department staff is assisting the Sustainability Office in the efforts associated with meeting the grant requirements.
