are working on revising their priorities. Discussion about the newsletter ensued.

8. NEW BUSINESS
A. Use of tree mitigation funds
Mark Gabrynowicz proposed amending Chapter 23 to allow "adopt-a-tree" plantings to
occur in the backyard. Sarah Boren asked for staff's opinion. Amanda Askew said the
ultimate goal is to increase the tree canopy, however, planting in the backyard does not
allow the city to see if proper care is taking place. She said she does not have any issue
with this change. Discussion about the adopt a tree planting locations ensued.
Mark Gabrynowicz proposed removing the last sentence of Section 23-14(a). Bruce
Andrews did not support removing this language because it keeps the city from using the
funds for landscaping. He said City of Jacksonville has similar language in their code.
Discussion about the use of tree fund monies ensued. Amy Palmer expressed her

concerns that making the change to Section 23-14(a) and the adopt-a-tree planting

1 The City of Atlantic Beach Chemical Management Plan
2
3 Background
4
5Protecting our environment from chemical contamination is a core priority of the City of
6Atlantic Beach (COAB). As stated in the Comprehensive plan Goal D.3, “The city shall protect
7preserve and maintain natural environmental resources so as to maintain or enhance air
8quality, water quality, vegetative communities’ wildlife habitats, and the natural functions of
9soils fisheries wetlands and estuarine marshes”. The explosive growth of the use of chemicals
10since the 1930s has made the realization of this goal progressively more difficult. “Better living
11through chemistry” a variation of Du Pont’s famous advertising slogan, manifests the belief that
12through science we can improve our lives and control our environment. This optimistic view
13was supported by many early successes but because of failures to fully appreciate the impact of
14the new wonder chemicals, we subsequently learned that sometimes our fix to the initial
15problems created problems far greater than the original problem. Today we recognize the
16need to protect our health and the health of our environment through proper management of
17the chemicals we use. The objectives of the COAB Chemical Management Plan (The Plan) are to
18inform, instruct and to establish guidelines for the management of chemicals within the city
19limits to advance attainment of Goal D.3
20
21 Scope
22 We need not be chemists to understand the full impact of chemicals on our lives and our
23environment but do need to understand and manage the impacts of those chemicals we use.
24The following are the categories of the chemicals addressed in The Plan:
25
26Biocides
27 Pollutants from Storm Runoff
28Pollutants from Hazardous Waste
29Green House Gases (GHG)
30Pollutants from Hazardous Airborne Chemicals
31
32We introduce some of these chemicals in our environment with intention such as lawn fertilizer
33or unintentionally through products we buy and dispose such as plastics or paint. We recognize
34that we can never eliminate all the harmful chemicals we use but by increasing awareness of
35their negative impacts and more effectively managing their use and disposal we can minimize
36the environmental impact. This Plan assigns actions and management responsibilities to
37community stakeholders to accomplish this reduced impact. `
38
39 Biocides
40The Plan prefers the expansive term “Biocide” than the more common “pesticide” as our
41history as shown that pesticides can and have had a detrimental impact beyond the pesticide’s
42targeted group of “pests”. This preference notwithstanding, the use of “pesticide “appears
43when referencing outside sources.
Page 33 of 40
Agenda Item #9.B.
10 May 2023
44
45 The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines a “pesticide” (with certain minor
46exceptions) as:
47Any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling,
48or mitigating any pest.
49Any substance or mixture of substances intended for use as a plant regulator, defoliant,
50or desiccant.
51Any nitrogen stabilizer.
52
53EPA also defines “pest” as:
54Any species, strain or biotype of plant, animal or pathogenic agent injurious to plants
55and plant products, materials or environments and includes vectors of parasites or
56pathogens of human and animal disease and animals causing public health nuisance.
57
58Fortunately for us the EPA's definitions narrow the scope of what we can and cannot use in our
59homes and our gardens to control pests. Manufacturers and distributors of pesticides have
60strict laws regarding their manufacture, sale and application.

64subchapII-sec136.htm
65
66
67 Pollutants from Storm Runoff
68
69When rainwater flows over hard surfaces directly into a storm drain, there is no opportunity for
70soil and plants or a water treatment facility to filter out pollutants, and nitrogen and
71phosphorus from fertilizers, pet and yard waste.
72
73Nitrogen and phosphorus are nutrients that are natural parts of aquatic ecosystems and
74support the growth of algae and aquatic plants, which provide food and habitat for fish,
75shellfish and smaller organisms that live in water. Too much nitrogen and phosphorus in the
76water causes algae to grow faster than ecosystems can handle. Significant increases in algae
77harm water quality, food resources and habitats, and decrease the oxygen that fish and other
78aquatic life need to survive. Large growths of algae (algal blooms) can severely reduce or
79eliminate oxygen in the water, leading to illnesses in fish and the death of large numbers of fish.
80Some algal blooms are harmful to humans because they produce elevated toxins and bacterial
81growth that can make people sick if they come into contact with polluted water, consume
82tainted fish or shellfish, or drink contaminated water.
83
84Nutrient pollution in ground water can be harmful, even at low levels. Infants are vulnerable to
85a nitrogen-based compound called nitrates in drinking water. Excess nitrogen in the
86atmosphere can produce pollutants such as ammonia and ozone, which can impair our ability
Page 34 of 40
Agenda Item #9.B.
10 May 2023
87to breathe, limit visibility and alter plant growth. When excess nitrogen comes back to earth
88from the atmosphere, it can harm the health of forests, soils and waterways.
89
90Green infrastructure works by slowing down the runoff, spreading it out over the land, and
91slowly soaking it into the ground, or in some cases reusing the water onsite. Green
92infrastructure is also sometimes referred to as low impact development. These techniques also
93help to remove pollutants from runoff, buy allowing plants to filter out pollutants as the water
94slowly infiltrates into the ground. Some examples of green infrastructure techniques include
95rain gardens, pervious pavement, rain barrels, and green roofs.
96
97
98 Pollutants from Hazardous Waste
99
100
101Simply defined, a hazardous waste is a waste with properties that make it dangerous or capable
102of having a harmful effect on human health or the environment. Hazardous waste is generated
103from many sources, ranging from industrial manufacturing process wastes to batteries and may
104come in many forms, including liquids, solids gases, and sludges.
105
106EPA developed a regulatory definition and process that identifies specific substances known to
107be hazardous and provides objective criteria for including other materials in the regulated
108hazardous waste universe. This identification process can be very complex, so EPA encourages
109generators of wastes to approach the issue using the series of questions described below:

Agenda Item #9.B.
10 May 2023
113https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2016-04/graphic-bw.png
114
115
116 Liquid Hazardous Waste
117Liquid hazardous waste can be defined as wastewater, fats, oils or greases, and used oil or
118petroleum products.
119
120
121 Greenhouse Gases (GHG)
122
123Gases that trap heat in the atmosphere are called greenhouse gases. This section provides
124information on emissions and removals of the main greenhouse gases to and from the
125atmosphere. For more information on the other climate forcers, such as black carbon, please
126visit the Climate Change Indicators: Climate Forcing page.
127
128Carbon dioxide (CO2): Carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere through burning fossil fuels (coal,
129natural gas, and oil), solid waste, trees and other biological materials, and also as a result of
130certain chemical reactions (e.g., manufacture of cement). Carbon dioxide is removed from the
131atmosphere (or "sequestered") when it is absorbed by plants as part of the biological carbon
132cycle.
133Methane (CH4): Methane is emitted during the production and transport of coal, natural gas,
134and oil. Methane emissions also result from livestock and other agricultural practices, land use
135and by the decay of organic waste in municipal solid waste landfills.
136
137Nitrous oxide (N2O): Nitrous oxide is emitted during agricultural, land use, and industrial
138activities; combustion of fossil fuels and solid waste; as well as during treatment of wastewater.
139
140Fluorinated gases: Hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride, and nitrogen
141trifluoride are synthetic, powerful greenhouse gases that are emitted from a variety of
142household, commercial, and industrial applications and processes. Fluorinated gases (especially
143hydrofluorocarbons) are sometimes used as substitutes for stratospheric ozone-depleting
144substances (e.g., chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, and halons). Fluorinated
145gases are typically emitted in smaller quantities than other greenhouse gases, but they are
146potent greenhouse gases. With global warming potentials (GWPs) that typically range from
147thousands to tens of thousands, they are sometimes referred to as high-GWP gases because,
148for a given amount of mass, they trap substantially more heat than CO2.
149Hazardous air polluants
150
151 Hazardous air pollutants
152
153Hazardous air pollutants also known as toxic air pollutants or air toxics, are those pollutants
154that are known or suspected to cause cancer or other serious health effects, such as
155reproductive effects or birth defects, or adverse environmental effects. EPA is working with
Page 36 of 40
Agenda Item #9.B.
10 May 2023
156state, local, and tribal governments to reduce air emissions of 188 toxic air pollutants to the
157environment.
158Examples of toxic air pollutants include
159benzene, which is found in gasoline;
160perchloroethylene, which is emitted from some dry-cleaning facilities; and
161methylene chloride, which is used as a solvent and paint stripper by industries.
162
163Examples of other listed air toxics include dioxin, asbestos, toluene, and metals such as
164cadmium, mercury, chromium, and lead compounds. While this class of pollutants is not a
165significant problem in our city, they nonetheless are present and warrant control top prevent
166inadvertent into the environment.
167
168 Stakeholders and Responsibilities
169
170The objective of the Plan is to establish realistic goals to minimize the use of harmful chemicals.
171There are several ways to accomplish this. Adopting Best Practices, incorporating
172recommendations from both Subject Matter Experts and our community will be the initial steps
173to establish the Plan. Once established the Plan with periodic updates will serve as guide for
174eventual codification if required. Not addressed in the Plan are procedures which direct
175emergency responses to accidents involving chemicals.
176
177REVIEW CAP for specified actions
178
179COAB elected official, staff, Boards and Committees
180
181City Managed properties
182Buildings
183Parks
184When selecting and implementing a chemical management strategy for COAB parks the
185use and function of the park should be the major consideration.
186
187Passive: parks which can be maintained with a natural approach
188
189Active: parks with the most activity on a daily basis. They need to be treated
190proactively, due to the number of park patrons on a daily basis and the nature of the
191activities that take place.
192
193Active -Athletic: turf grass must be maintained to a higher standard to ensure the
194playability and safety of the participants. Proactive treatments are necessary in order to
195provide the standard of care that is required.
