DISCUSSION
Project XL stands for "eXcellence and Leadership", and was created in March 1995 as part of the
Reinventing Environmental Regulation initiatives XL projects are real world tests of innovative
strategies that achieve cleaner, more cost-effective results than traditional regulatory approaches.
Each project that is accepted into the program involves the granting of regulatory flexibility by the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in exchange for an enforceable commitment by a community to
achieve better environmental results than would have been attained through full compliance with
existing or anticipated future regulations
In recent years, the City has been waging a stepped up war on urban blight through enforcement of
building maintenance codes and through special emphasis on property redevelopment and sustainable
community issues The City submitted its Project XL proposal to the EPA in September 1999 The
proposal entitled "Asbestos Management in the Demolition of Substandard Structures as a Nuisance
Abatement", sought regulatory flexibility from the EPA to proceed with the demolition of substandard
structures that are not in danger of imminent collapse without prior removal of regulated asbestos
containing material
In January 2000, the EPA issued a conditional letter of selection On September 29, 2000, in a
ceremony at City Hall, an agreement was signed by the City of Fort Worth, the Texas Department of
Health, and the Environmental Protection Agency to begin Phase I of the City's XL project.
In February 2001, the City received EPA approval to use 2615 Ennis Avenue as the site for Phase I
demolition Waste Management Industrial Services, Inc. was selected for disposal based on their
current Texas,. Natural Resource Conservation Commission certification as an "asbestos"-receiving
landfill' Additionally, they are located in very close proximity to Fort Worth, thus reducing transportation
charges
The provisions in Chapter 252 of the Texas Local Government Code do not apply because it is a
"procurement necessary to preserve or protect the public health or safety of the municipality's
residents."
