BILL SUMMARY TEU: Defer The
Chair announced how the discussion of the item should take place procedurally, with the representative of FDEP providing
historical background followed by a representative of Georgia-Pacific for 5
minutes and the St. Johns Riverkeeper for 5 minutes; the Committee Members
would then put questions to the respective speakers. Greg
Strong, Northeast Florida District Director of the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection opened the remarks and was followed by Melissa Long,
Water Facilities Administrator for FDEP.
Ms. Long provided background on the history of the pipeline
issue. She began with the paper mill’s
realization of a problem with discharge into Rice Creek in 1998 and the
initial issuance of a permit for a pipeline to discharge into the Color;
toxicity; and specific conductivity. Gary
Frost, plant manager of Georgia-Pacific’s paper mill in Palatka, provided
historical background from the plant’s perspective, beginning with the
plant’s opening in 1947. He described
Rice Creek as a low flow creek. G-P
sought the permit to construct a pipeline in 1992 because it could not meet
and maintain water quality standards in the creek. G-P proceeded to invest over $200 million
in improvements at the plant to achieve a more acceptable level of water
quality. Reductions were made in
effluent color, effluent conductivity and phosphorous. The improvements were not enough to meet
the required water quality standards for the creek; G-P could not find feasible
technology for further effluent improvement that was economically viable for
the continued operation of the mill. The
Jim
Alabiso, The
athletic community, particularly those people that swam in the Council
Member Kimberly Daniels asked Gary Frost of what the economic impact would be
for the Georgia-Pacific paper mill if the pipeline permit was delayed. Mr. Frost indicated that the economic
impact would be huge if the mill lacked a permit for the discharge of its
effluent. Council
Member Robin Lumb questioned both Greg Strong and Melissa Long (FDEP) on the methodology for testing for the
presence of dioxins. Accuracy in
testing is problematic if the levels of dioxins are exceedingly low. Council Member Lumb asked Mr. Strong if G-P
had addressed and answered all of the questions about the pipeline. Mr. Strong said that G-P had answered all
of the questions to FDEP’s satisfaction but that there were still issues that
had to be considered and that FDEP was always seeking additional information. The purpose of the pipeline was to resolve
the issues of color, toxicity and conductivity in the effluent discharged by
the mill. Re-directing the discharge
to the river would enable aquatic plant life to improve on the river banks at
Rice Creek. Council
Member Reggie Brown questioned Ms. Long on dioxins in the river as a health
hazard and wanted to know how we should go about reducing the levels. What is FDEP doing? Ms. Long related how the G-P Palatka mill
had changed its bleaching techniques and reducing the compound that formed
dioxin. The mill is not currently
generating dioxin. Council Member
Brown asked if the pipeline’s construction had, in fact, actually begun. The reply was in the affirmative. Mike
McGhee, an environmental consultant to Georgia-Pacific was asked questioned
about the high levels of dioxins that Dr. Lucy Sonnenfeld, Millar Wilson
Laboratory at Mr.
McGhee indicated that he did not know how Dr. Sonnenfeld had arrived at her
contentions. Council
Member Daniels said that the Committee needed more information and further
questioned addressed to fully understand the pipeline issues. The
Chair announced that the item being deferred. DEFER |

BILL SUMMARY F: Amend/Approve AMEND(F)/APPROVE 6-0 Council
Member Lori Boyer questioned the amendment that waives the public investment
policy requirement for a $10 million capital private investment. Paul Crawford (JEDC) explained that the Council enacted the policy some years
back when the economic climate in the City (and country) was at a far more
prosperous condition than in our current situation. If were are going to lure economic growth
downtown with companies that can generate jobs, it is not likely that those
prospective firms will have $10 million to invest on top of what they propose
to do. Council
Member Kimberly Daniels explained that though she supports economic
development, she was reluctant to support the bill because no one from JEDC
or the Administration ever comes to her to explain proposed legislation. Jerry
Mallott, Chamber of Commerce/Mayor’s Office explained the economic climate
that we are in, the difficulties in vying for prospective job-producing firms
and the rationale that the Administration sees in providing incentives. Council
Member Warren Jones, in whose Council District the site is located,
underscored the need for jobs in the area and urged support for both the
amendment and bill. He understood
Council Member’s Boyer’s concerns with waiving the policy and indicated that
he would implore the Finance Committee to consider changing the public
investment policy requirement. |
