COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 9/25/2007
DATE: Tuesday, September 25, 2007
LOG NAME: 52EPABR(DWNFIELD REFERENCE NO.: **C-22409
SUBJECT:
Authorization to Execute an Extension for the Brownfields Hazardous and Petroleum Assessment
Grant
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an extension of
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) contract BF-97676101 (City Secretary Contract No. 30654) from
October 1, 2007 to September 30, 2008.
DISCUSSION:
In 2004, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded the City of Fort Worth a $400,000
Hazardous and Petroleum Assessment grant to continue a program to identify and assess brownfields sites
in the central city. Though this program has been very successful, funds remain in the grant and a one-year
extension will allow the Department of Environmental Management to continue to identify and assess
brownfields sites. Approximately $228,715 remains in the grant fund. It is anticipated that all grant funds
will be expended by September 30, 2008.
The City of Fort Worth's Brownfields Economic Redevelopment Program promotes the redevelopment of
qualifying brownfields sites through identification, environmental site assessment, and cleanup. The
program covers all of Fort Worth but focuses on Council Districts 2, 5, and 8. Brownfields are defined as
"real property, the expansion, redevelopment or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or
potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant."
This grant extension is for the period October 1, 2007 to September 30, 2008. All other terms and
conditions shall remain the! same.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that this action will have no material effect on City funds.
