Permit #4-089-81627-4 Amelia Island Greenway

(e-mailed to James Jett - SJRWMD)

Is soil testing going forward with the old dump site located along and partly on the property described above? My concern is that this dump was used in the 1940’s through around 1970 and little documentation exists. I have been able to read most of the phase 1 audit and the old city dump shown in aerial photos over a 30 +/- year period is what concerns me more than the salt intrusion and dead trees. I grew up at the entry to this dump when I was much younger and remember well the location. I believe it was likely on both sides of Egan’s Creek and not just on one side…at least I remember dump material being removed from the creek.

Any information about testing already done and favorable or unfavorable results would be greatly appreciated. I would like to post the reply to a local blog and will forward it to other concerned residents. This might do a lot to either reduce concern or focus their attention on the issue of soil testing.

Thank you in advance for your reply.
