1.0 OVERVIEW OF COMMUNITY RELATIONS PLAN The United States Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) developed this Community Relations Plan to facilitate two-way communication between the community living or working within or near the former Richmond Naval Air Station and the Corps and to encourage community involvement in site activities. The Corps will use the community involvement activities outlined in this plan to ensure that those living or working on or near the former Richmond Naval Air Station are continuously informed and provided opportunities to participate in the environmental restoration process. This Community Relations Plan addresses the site’s relationship to the community and the Corps (Section 2.0), provides a background of the community (Section 3.0), presents the Corps’ community involvement program (Section 4.0) and provides a listing of available resources (Section 5.0). The Corps drew upon several information sources to develop this plan, including community interviews and site files. The Corps’ Jacksonville District will oversee the implementation of the community involvement activities outlined in this plan.

2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY Across the country, the military acquired properties, often during times of conflict, to use for military demonstrations, training and testing. Once the military no longer needed the land, it was transferred to other entities. These sites can range from privately owned farms to national parks. They also include residential, educational and industrial areas. The Department of Defense is committed to correcting environmental damage caused by its activities and created the Defense Environmental Restoration Program for Formerly Used Defense Sites to evaluate, and if necessary, remediate sites such as the former Richmond Naval Air Station. The Corps is responsible for managing the program on behalf of the Department of Defense.

2.1 PROPERTY HISTORY The U.S. Navy began constructing Richmond Naval Air Station in 1942 as a Lighter-Than-Air blimp base. The approximately 2,108-acre base was designed to be entirely self-sufficient and included a mess hall, medical clinic, recreational areas, barracks, and water and sewer systems. The Navy also constructed three blimp hangars; mooring-out sites; a helium plant; and maintenance, propeller, battery, welding, plating, and paint shops, along with other support facilities. The hangars were more than 1,000 feet long, 175 feet high and 297 feet wide with an interior floor space of approximately 7 acres. In addition to being home to a blimp squadron, Richmond Naval Air Station also provided maintenance services and supplies to the airships in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean region. Blimps patrolled the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico to protect allied marine fleets from German U-boats. The blimp crews would monitor allied ships and would report if they identified any U-boats. In September 1945, the area began preparing for a hurricane. Believing the hangers at Richmond Naval Air Station were hurricane proof, the military moved aircraft from nearby bases into the blimp hangars. By the time the hurricane hit, more than 300 aircraft were in the hangers along with 25 blimps. During the storm, the roof of Hangar 1 blew off, and shortly thereafter, a fire

blazed that quickly spread to the other hangars. Within hours, all three hangars and everything in them were destroyed. The base was never re-built, and by November 1945, it was closed. The University of Miami, Miami-Dade County Division of Parks and Recreation, Federal Bureau of Prisons and the Coast Guard now own the property that comprises the former Richmond Naval Air Station.

2.1.1 Potential Contaminants Over the years, the Corps has conducted a number of investigations and remedial actions at the former Richmond Naval Air Station, including removing structures, debris, and underground storage tanks. Previous studies have detected petroleum products and metals in the soil and water in the area of the former incinerator (now on the Federal Bureau of Prison’s land). In the area of Hangers 1 and 2 (now home of the Gold Coast Railroad Museum), studies have detected petroleum products, solvents, and metals in the soil.

2.1.2 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Involvement The Corps has performed investigations and removal projects periodically since 1984, including removing former military structures and underground storage tanks. The Corps is now doing a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study in the areas of the former incinerator and Hangars 1 and 2. The purpose of the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study is to characterize the nature and extent of impacts to the environment caused by the military’s use of the land. In other words, the Corps wants to determine what may be present, in what locations and concentrations. Fieldwork, which is scheduled to begin the summer of 2015, will include collecting soil and water samples.

2.1.3 Community Reaction The public is generally aware of the former military training activities associated with the Richmond Naval Air Station. The Gold Coast Railroad Museum, located within the boundaries of the former Richmond Naval Air Station, includes an exhibit about the base, and there is a historical marker at the site. Information developed by the Corps is available to the public at the Coral Reef Branch Library, near the site. Thus far, no community concerns have been raised. The Corps will continue to monitor the community’s interest and will address any concerns as they arise.

2.2 PROPERTY DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION The former Richmond Naval Air Station comprises approximately 2,108 acres in central Miami- Dade County. The general site boundaries are SW 152nd Street on the north, SW 137th Avenue to the west, SW 117th Avenue to the east and SW 184th Street to the south. (Please see Figures 1- 3.) While there are currently no residential areas within the boundaries of the former Richmond Naval Air Station, there are residential neighborhoods contiguous to the site. The University of

Former Richmond Naval Air Station Community Relations Plan 2

Miami’s South and Richmond Campuses, the Robert Morgan Educational Center, a federal prison, the Miami Zoo and the Gold Coast Railroad Museum are all within the boundaries of the former Naval Air Station.

In the area of Hangers 1 and 2 (now home of the Gold Coast Railroad Museum), studies have detected petroleum products, solvents and metals in the soil. These materials could potentially harm people and the environment.

2.3.2 History of Inspections and Studies Conducted at the Site 2011 Site Inspection In 2011, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection performed a Site Inspection at several areas of concern on the property. The Site Inspection included a site visit and environmental sampling which revealed contamination at two former Department of Defense sites which led to the approval of two new Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste projects. The first project will build on the results of the Site Investigation and further investigate contamination in the area of former Hangars 1 and 2 and related buildings. The second project will further investigate contamination associated with a former incinerator location on the federal prison property.

2.3.3 Lead Agency The Corps is the lead agency and is responsible for cleanup activities related to the military’s use of the site. The Corps is coordinating with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Miami-Dade County Department of Environmental Management, property owners and other stakeholders.

3.0 COMMUNITY BACKGROUND 3.1 COMMUNITY PROFILE The former Richmond Naval Air Station occupies a large portion of census tract 202 and is surrounded by eleven other census tracts. The data from the four tracts with the largest shared border with tract 202 was combined with the data from tract 202. The average of the data for these five tracts is presented in the table below. Almost 30 percent of the population over age 25 in the five census tracts do not have a high school diploma, and 45 percent of the population in the five census tracts speak English less than “very well.” Meetings and print materials may need to be translated, but the team will monitor the situation and will provide translations as necessary. The Corps will be mindful when selecting meeting locations that more than four percent of the population does not have a vehicle.

3.2 HISTORY OF COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT There has been ve1y little community interest in the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study at Richmond Naval Air Station. The Cmps will continue to info1m the potentially impacted community and allow them an opportunity to be involved in the restoration process.

3.3 KEY COMMUNITY CONCERNS Thus far, no community concerns have been raised, but the Corps will monitor the situation closely as activities are initiated to educate the public and to encourage them to participate in the restoration process.

3.4 RESPONSE TO COMMUNITY CONCER.t'1S The Corps will continue public involvement activities and will respond should any concerns anse.

3.5 SUMMARY OF COMMUNICATION NEEDS Planned or completed public information activities for Richmond NAS include mailing letters with a fact sheet to property owners within the boundaries of the former Richmond NAS, placing a notice in a local newspaper and hosting community meetings. The Corps will also interview stakeholders and will evaluate their input to determine if additional efforts are required.

4.0 PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PROGRAM The overall goal of the Corps’ public involvement program is to promote two-way communication between citizens and the Corps and to provide opportunities for meaningful and active involvement by the community in the cleanup process. The Corps will implement the community involvement activities described below. The following plan is based on concerns frequently expressed by those living near or on a Formerly Used Defense Site.

4.1 THE PLAN Issue 1: Keeping the Public Informed Activity 1A: Designate a Corps Public Involvement Coordinator • Objective: To provide a primary liaison between the community and the Corps and to ensure prompt, accurate and consistent responses and information dissemination about the site • Method: The Corps will designate a public affairs specialist to handle site inquiries and serve as a point of contact for community members. Amanda Parker is the public involvement coordinator for the site, and she will work closely with Diana Martuscelli, the project manager. • Timing: The public affairs specialist was designated when the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study contract was awarded in September 2014. Activity 1B: Prepare and distribute site fact sheets and technical summaries • Objective: To provide citizens with current, accurate, easy-to-read, easy-to- understand information about the former Richmond Naval Air Station • Method: Fact sheets will be mailed along with a letter to all property owners and other stakeholders. In addition, copies will be available at the Information Repository. Following the completion of the fieldwork, another mailing will include information on what was found and the recommendations for the future. • Timing: The Corps will prepare and distribute fact sheets as necessary, but at least at the beginning and end of each phase of work. Activity 1C: Provide a Toll-Free Telephone Number for the Community to Contact the Corps • Objective: To enable citizens to get the latest information available when they want it, rather than having to wait for a meeting or a fact sheet and without incurring any cost

Former Richmond Naval Air Station Community Relations Plan 8

• Method: The Corps will activate a toll free number and publish it periodically in the local papers and in all fact sheets. • Timing: The toll free telephone line is currently operational (866.279.4880). Activity 1D: Maintain a Mailing List for the Site • Objective: To facilitate the distribution of site-specific information to everyone who needs or wants to be kept informed about the site • Method: The Corps will create a mailing list that includes all identified stakeholders and property owners within the boundaries of the former Richmond Naval Air Station. • Timing: The Corps has compiled the mailing list and will periodically review/revise it to keep it current. Activity 1E: Establish and Maintain an Administrative Record file • Objective: To provide residents with all documents and resources used by the project delivery team in reaching decisions about the site and restoration activities in a convenient location where residents can go to read and copy official documents and other pertinent information about the site • Method: The Administrative Record file is a collection of site information. The Corps will work with a local contact to find a suitable location (known as an Information Repository) to house the Administrative Record. This repository will be accessible to the physically challenged, will have copier facilities, and will be available to residents during normal business hours and at least some evening and/or weekend hours. The Corps will provide at least two sets of the Administrative Record file for the site, one at the Corps’ Jacksonville office and one in the local Information Repository near the site. • Timing: The Administrative Record was opened when the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study began, and it will remain open until the Decision Document is signed. The Information Repository has been established at the Corps’ Jacksonville District office (701 San Marco Boulevard) and at Coral Reef Branch Library located at 9211 SW 152 St., Miami, Florida 33157. Activity 1F: Provide Project Information on the Internet • Objective: To provide site and project information as well as general Formerly Used Defense Sites program information • Method: Site and Formerly Used Defense Sites program information will be placed on the Jacksonville District website (www.saj.usace.army.mil). • Timing: Project information and related documents will be added to the website as they are completed. Issue 2: Provide Adequate and Meaningful Opportunities for Community Involvement Activity 2A: Hold Public Meetings and Special Events • Objective: To update the community on site developments and address community questions, concerns, ideas and comments.

Former Richmond Naval Air Station Community Relations Plan 9

• Method: Community meetings and other related activities, as necessary, will be hosted at appropriate times during this phase of work. The Corps will schedule, prepare for and attend all announced meetings. The Corps will provide at least a two-week notice of the scheduled meeting. • Timing: Meetings or workshops may be hosted as the work progresses to explain the history of the site and the work the Corps is doing. An additional meeting may be held after the fieldwork is complete. Activity 2B: Solicit Interest in a Restoration Advisory Board • Objective: To provide citizens with a meaningful way to become actively involved and to provide the project delivery team with a viable means of learning citizen concerns and attitudes • Method: The Corps will solicit interest in a Restoration Advisory Board and will provide support as appropriate to facilitate its formation. If formed, the Corps will provide administrative support, and the Corps’ project manager will serve as co-chair along with someone elected from among the community representatives on the board. • Timing: The Corps began soliciting interest in a Restoration Advisory Board in December 2014. The solicitation process will continue at least through the spring of 2015. Activity 2C: Make Informal Visits to Community • Objective: To help keep community members informed about the site while providing the Corps with feedback about site activities and the community’s opinions. • Method: The Corps will establish a presence in the community through informal visits. • Timing: Periodic visits will be made as necessary throughout the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study phase. Activity 2D: Solicit Comments during a Public Comment Period • Objective: To give community members an opportunity to review and comment on various Corps documents, especially the Proposed Plan. The review period provides an opportunity for the citizens to have meaningful involvement in the process while giving the project delivery team valuable input from the community. • Method: The Corps will announce each comment period separately, if necessary. Announcements will appear in local newspapers and fact sheets. Information on the duration and how and where to submit comments will be included. The Corps will seek comments on the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study recommendations along with the potential remedies. • Timing: The public comment period will be a minimum of 30 days and is required when the Proposed Plan is released.
