which
were
included
now,
which
was
introduced
by
council
member
Johnson
on
December
1st
2022..
These
bills
were
requested
on
behalf
of
local
Redevelopment
Partners
hrp.
The

allow
hrp
to
begin
the
design
process
of
Designing

constructing
a
new
public
Street
Network
on
a

from
the
city
plan
of
streets,
the
placement
of
six
new
streets
on
the
city
plan
and
whitening
of
two
existing
city
streets
on
a
city
plan
and
reconfiguration
of
six
intersections
on
the
city
plan.
G
G
Complete
meaningful
public
engagement
with
the
nearby
communities
and
environmental
justice
groups,
provide
a
comprehensive
plan
of
development
for
the
site
that
include
a
public
traffic,
that
traffic
impact
study
and
mitigation
plan,
and
then
environmental
assessment
and
mitigation
plan.
This
concludes
my
testimony.
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
questions.

and

introduced
by
council
member
Johnson.
These
bills
were
requested
by
Matthew
McClure
Esquire
Obama
Sparrow
LLP,
representing
Hill
career
development
partners.
These
bills
have
been
submitted
to
facilitate
the
Redevelopment
of
the
former
Sunoco
Philadelphia
Energy
Solution
Refinery
site
in
the
area.

and

H
Amendments
before
these
bills
have
been
submitted
by
the
City
Planning
Commission,
subject
to
the
adoption
of
the
proposed
amendments.
The
department
of
streets
has
no
objection
to
these
ordinances
and
recommends
them
to
your
committee
for
favorable
action.
I.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
testify
before
today
and
would
would
be
pleased
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have.
G
Yes,
so
we
have
requested
the
Development
Group
to
provide
a
close
closer
to
the
development
stage
when
that
time
happens
to
provide
with
us
an
updated
traffic
impact
study.
For
now
they
have
an
estimate,
but
because
this
project
is
with
a
lot
with
a
very
long
built
out
timeline.
So
when
each
parcel,
which
depart
which
development
come
closer
to
the
reality,
it
will
have
a
better
idea
of
what
we're
expecting
so
we're
asking
for
a
updated
traffic
study.
E
A
D
F
You
kindly
good
afternoon,
chair
Thomas
and
members
of
the
committee.
My
name
is
Jasmine
sessoms
I
am
the
senior
vice
president
for
corporate
Affairs,
for
healthcare,
Redevelopment
partners
and
with
me
today
are
my
colleagues
Melissa
Schrock,
who
is
the
Executive
Vice
President
of
mixed-use
development
for
hilco
redevelopment,
Partners
Kurt
Carter
vice
president
of
Industrial
Development
Amy
pecan
remediation
manager
and
Matt
McClure,
our
legal
counsel.
Our
company
is
the
redeveloper
of
the
1300
acre
former
PES
Refinery
site.
Thank
you
for
allowing
us
to
testify.
F
We
also
want
to
thank
always
councilmember
Johnson
for
his
sponsorship
of
the
bill.
Numbers
220943
through
220950
and
220-971
and,
as
always,
is
continued
support
for
our
project.
Our
company's
vision
is
to
transform
this
former
Refinery
site
into
a
joint,
state-of-the-art
industrial
campus
and
Life
Sciences
Campus
known
as
the
Bellwether
District.
The
future
uses
of
the
industrial
campus
include
e-commerce
manufacturing
warehousing
and
distribution
facilities.
The
future
uses
of
the
life
science
campus
include
traditional
research
and
development
uses
as
well
as
cgmp
manufacturing.
F
All
of
these
uses
are
anticipated
to
provide
much
needed
family,
sustaining
jobs
for
thousands
of
philadelphians
the
bills
before
you
today
will
authorize
the
creation
of
a
new
Street
and
public
infrastructure
Network.
Integrating
the
Bellwether
district
with
the
neighboring
Street
grid
modifying
the
ordinances
adopted
by
City
Council
in
2020..
F
Over
the
past
year,
we
have
worked
diligently
with
the
staffs
of
the
Planning
Commission
Otis
and
the
streets
and
water
departments
on
this
legislation
and
other
planning
issues.
We
greatly
appreciate
each
Department's
attention
to
the
matter
and
their
thoughtful
comments.
Moreover,
we
support
the
administration's
offered
amendments
to
the
bills
and
we
ask
for
their
adoption
since
purchasing
the
site
in
2020,
we
have
made
significant
progress.
We
have
removed
865
miles
of
pipe,
which
is
91
of
the
piping
and
18.5
million
gallons
of
petroleum
product,
which
is
roughly
99.
F
90
of
Tanks
have
been
demolished
and
92
percent
of
the
demolition
has
been
completed,
resulting
in
over
175
000,
tons
of
scrap,
being
removed
and
recycled.
Hrp
intends
to
raise
all
existing
low-lying
areas
of
the
site
out
of
the
FEMA
established,
base
flood
elevations
and
will
work
toward
to
facilitate
Overland
flow
relief
and
increase
efficacy
of
storm
water
drainage.
My
colleagues
can
speak
in
Greater
detail
about
our
future
plans
and
progress
to
date.
F
I
would
like
to
take
this
time
to
highlight
our
community
engagement,
Workforce
Development
programs
and
diversity,
Equity
inclusion
initiatives,
as
we
have
received
quite
a
few
questions
from
the
council
about
them.
Since
the
purchase
of
the
property
Healthcare
Redevelopment
Partners
hit
the
ground
running
in
the
South
and
Southwest
Community.
We
began
by
meeting
with
the
community
advisory
panel,
also
known
as
cap,
that
was
established
by
the
Philadelphia
Energy
Solutions
company
and
that
comprised
of
20
stakeholder
groups.
Since
hrp
has
managed
the
cap.
F
We
have
increased
the
groups
working
closely
with
councilman
Johnson
to
26
stakeholder
groups,
22
of
which
are
community-based
organizations.
Our
team
meets
with
this
group
by
monthly.
To
date
we
have
hosted
over
23
meetings,
a
mix
of
in-person
and
virtual
in
addition
to
our
community
advisory
panel,
hrp
hosts
quarterly
public
meetings.
Our
upcoming
meeting
on
March
28th
will
be
the
10th
public
meeting
in
two
years
with
the
community.
The
meeting
format
has
evolved
as
we
listened
and
worked
with
residents
and
garnered
feedback.
F
These
meetings
went
from
being
very
controlled,
utilizing
a
chat
function
on
Zoom
to
very
interactive,
where
participants
can
unmute
themselves
and
speak
freely
to
allow
for
two-way
dialogue.
We
have
seen
an
uptick
in
engagement
and
we
welcome
an
in-person
meeting
in
the
future,
which
we
are
hoping
to
partner
with
community-based
organizations.
As
a
co-host,
we
have
invited
Philly
Thrive
to
be
our
co-host
at
the
very
first
in-person
meeting.
F
In
addition
to
our
standard
Community
engagement,
we
have
launched
an
additional
layer
in
June
2022.
We
launched
the
community
survey
open
to
the
public
to
inform
hrp
of
our
community
investments
in
areas
in
which
we
should
focus.
The
next
phase
to
continuously
solicit
Community
input
is
the
hrp
community
connectors
program.
We
are
partnering
with
influential
community
members
to
host
small
focus
groups
with
a
series
of
questions
around
Community
Investments
groups
and
strategies
that
will
inform
our
engagement
moving
forward.
F
Once
we
have
completed
this
data
collection,
we
would
like
to
simultaneously
kick
off
the
community
benefits
agreement
process.
Hrp
is
voluntarily
entering
into
a
CBA
with
Community
groups
of
South
and
Southwest
Philadelphia.
Currently
we
are
looking
at
in
April
2023
start
date.
We
have
identified
two
third-party
facilitators
that
will
be
interviewed
by
the
CBA
groups
for
final
selection.
Hrp
is
running
a
fair
and
Equitable
process
by
allowing
the
community
to
choose
the
CBA
facilitators.
F
We
are
looking
forward
to
this
process,
while
acknowledging
Investments
that
were
made
previously.
In
2022
alone,
we
spent
close
to
a
million
dollars
on
community
initiatives,
including
the
annual
boo
on
the
breeze
Fall
Festival,
a
community
health,
fair
on
Point
Breeze,
Ave,
Smith
playground,
slide-a-thon
unity
and
the
community
anti-gun
violence
trip
to
Dorney
Park
young
chances,
Foundation
partnership
with
the
African-American
history,
museum,
Girls,
Inc
summer
experience,
and
we
sponsor
a
host
of
youth
organizations
and
football
leagues,
and
this
is
just
naming
a
few
in
your
briefing
packet.
F
F
Hrp
works
hard
at
Workforce
Development.
We
currently
have
two
apprenticeship
programs
running
The,
Carpenter's,
apprenticeship,
Readiness
program
and
the
Sam
State
and
Senior
apprenticeship
program.
We
recruit
students
directly
from
the
Philadelphia
School
District
and
South
and
Southwest
Philadelphia.
These
programs
provide
a
direct
pipeline
to
the
Building
Trades
unions,
which
have
long
been
a
challenge
for
black
and
brown
people
to
access.
We
are
also
proudly
entering
our
third
year
of
the
hrp
internship
program
and
it
has
been
a
joy
watching
this
program
evolve
to
quote
an
intern
from
last
summer.
I
enjoyed
the
environment
at
hrp.
F
It
has
given
me
plenty
of
connections
and
networks
for
my
future.
That
statement
was
from
tati,
who
is
now
graduating
and
being
honored
at
one
of
our
partner
organizations,
Girls
Inc
luncheon,
and
will
be
receiving
scholarship
dollars
to
attend
a
local
University.
This
is
the
beauty
of
hrp's
Workforce
programs.
We
start
training
today
for
the
jobs
of
tomorrow.
F
I
would
like
to
also
discuss
our
engagement
with
the
school
district
of
Philadelphia
in
the
career
connected
learning
program.
Since
2020
we
have
employed
over
40
interns,
and
this
summer
we
will
employ
50
interns
on
site
and
with
our
partner
organizations.
Our
staff
is
engaged
in
monthly
virtual
career
awareness
interviews
to
give
students
a
sense
of
the
construction
industry.
Our
hrp
employees
participate
in
career
awareness
and
CTE
program
events
engaging
students
from
the
school
district
of
Philadelphia,
for
example.
F
Yesterday
we
welcomed
over
20
students
from
Roxboro
high
schools,
real
estate,
CTE
program
for
a
tour
and
a
panel
discussion
on
our
site
with
our
employees.
I
personally
participated,
and
it
was
a
great
time.
Our
team
also
serves
on
the
CTE
industry
advisory
Council
to
support
and
advise
on
CTE
programs
throughout
the
throughout
Philadelphia.
In
the
summer
of
2022,
we
hosted
30
young
women
in
partnership
with
my
wink
summer
construction
camp
in
an
effort
to
increase
women's
participation
within
unions.
F
Lastly,
as
I
wrap,
I
would
like
to
speak
to
our
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion
initiatives.
Hrp
has
an
aggressive,
Economic
Opportunity
plan
with
a
50
MBE
50
local
and
a
12
wbe
for
our
Workforce
goals,
two
years
into
our
15-year
project,
we
average
about
54
and
be
2
WB
and
28
local,
although
not
at
goal.
F
We
have
hosted
two
contractor
fairs
with
clayco
and
a
partnership
with
the
Enterprise
Center
to
present
our
project
in
front
of
potential
black
and
brown
best
businesses.
We
have
a
partnership
with
the
Urban
League
of
Philadelphia,
which
places
students
from
Cheney
University
at
hrp
for
summer
employment,
which
we
hope
to
expand
and
include
additional
historically
black
colleges
and
universities,
We
Believe
through
pipeline
building
and
intentional
Investments.
We
will
be
in
position
to
continue
to
build
equitably
in
the
future.
We
are
available
to
answer
any
questions
that
the
committee
may
have.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
A
Thank
you
for
your
testimony
and
for
all
of
the
information
I
think
that
that's
very
helpful
as
it
relates
to
those
of
us
who
might
not
necessarily
know
everything
that's
going
on
down
there.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Mr
Maynard.
Will
you
please
call
the
next
witness
for
this
particular
panel
and
then
after
the
entire
panel,
goes
we'll
open
it
up
for
questions
from
this
for
questions?
A
D
A
All
right,
let
me
do
this
then,
and
I'm
gonna
apologize
to
my
colleagues
before
we
get
to
and
before
we
get
to
the
rest
of
the
members
of
the
panel.
Are
there
any
questions
for
for
this
particular?
No,
let's
go
through
the
whole.
Ask
the
questions
at
once
in
our
panel.
How
about
we
do
it
like
that?
Is
that
fine.
E
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
also
for
the
record,
with
planning
and
streets
that
this
is
not
an
overlay
piece
of
legislation.
There's
misinformation
that
this
is
an
overlay
as
opposed
to
authorization
to
do
a
street
grid
on
the
hill
code
site,
so
just
want
to
clarify
that
from
planning
as
well
as
streets.
E
G
E
A
You
Mr
chair,
thank
you,
councilmember
Johnson,
for
the
clarity
and
we
will
still
open
up
this
panel
for
questions
after
we
hear
from
the
entire
panel.
If
that's
okay,
with
members
of
the
committee
Mr
midnight,
will
you
please
call
the
next
witness
to
testify
and
we'll
have
each
witness
testified
consecutively
and
then,
at
the
end
of
the
entire
panel,
we'll
open
it
up
for
questions.
D
I
This
is
our
25th
year
of
in
business
and
we've
had
over
8
000
students
go
through
our
program
and
we
are
very
unique
in
fact
we're
the
only
program
like
this
in
the
in
the
US,
but
actually
in
the
world,
to
actually
give
kids
in
in
their
look
into
this
multi-billion
dollar
racing
industry.
We've
been
very
successful
at
actually
doing
that
and
I
want
to
thank
the
hilco
corporation
for
their
50
000
donation.
I
They
gave
for
us
to
be
able
to
bring
students
from
the
south
and
Southwest
Philadelphia
into
our
program
and
to
experience
our
program
for
for
the
10
weeks,
long
period
that
it
actually
is,
as
I
mentioned
before
it.
You
know
our
program
is
very,
very
unique
in
the
fact
that
we
use
Science
and
Technology
and
Engineering
to
actually
get
them
indulged
in
these
particular
Industries.
I
I
D
J
Thank
you,
hello.
My
name
is
Sandra
marks,
I'm
an
executive
of
clayco
Corporation,
we're
headquartered
in
St
Louis,
founded
in
1984
and
I'm.
Sorry,
we
found
it
in
St
Louis
in
1984,
headquartered
in
Chicago
today,
and
we're
excited
to
be
part
of
this
project
and
partnered
with
hilco.
We've
been
awarded
the
first
building
of
many
and
are
in
a
partnership
with
Perryman
construction.
We
have
had
a
relationship
with
Perryman
construction
that
started
back
in
2018.
J
So,
prior
to
this
project,
we
became
acquainted
with
Perryman
and
their
company,
and
when
this
opportunity
came
up
decided
they
would
be
a
good
partner
to
really
help
us
to
build
out
our
local
programs
in
Philadelphia
I
lead
our
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion
initiatives.
Nationwide,
so
clayco
has
had
a
Dei
program
for
over
25
years,
I've
been
a
consultant
to
claco
up
up
until
eight
years
ago,
and
eight
years
ago,
I
came
inside
clayco
to
really
lead
our
efforts
to
build
capacity,
in
particular,
if
minority
being
women-owned
firms
Nationwide
to
do
larger
scale.
J
J
These
firms
are
involved
in
helping
to
to
understand
how
clayco
does
business
making
sure
that
safety
programs
are
in
line
as
well
as
that,
they're
financially
receiving
all
the
support
from
all
the
different
organizations
that
are
there
in
Philadelphia,
as
well
as
clayco
and
our
team,
and
we
also
have
a
Workforce
component
to
our
company.
I
have
a
counterpart
in
my
office,
Dan
Lester,
who
runs
our
Workforce
program,
so
he
has
also
been
involved
already
with
hillco
in
learning
what
the
organizations
are
there.
J

Can
you
hear
me

Yes,
I

The
current

has
25
stakeholders,
18
of
which
are
community-based
organizations.
These
groups
represent
South

Southwest
Philadelphia.
As

we
meet

We
meet
with

representative
by
monthly
to
hear
updates
on

Good
afternoon,

provide

to
Children

who
face
extreme
poverty,

and
other

On
this
year
on
March
the
10th,
we
hosted
a
stage
play
focusing
on
gun
violence
where
we
set
over
500
kids.
Over
three
shows
we
did
this
production
with
really
little
little
to
no
assistance.
L
A
E
F
Councilman,
let
me
just
go
back:
we've
done
quite
a
bit
as
you
as
my
six
minute
testimony
I
Told,
You
So.
Thus
far,
we've
had
23
meetings
with
our
cap
group.
That's
bi-monthly
meetings
and
that's
a
mix
of
in-person
and
virtual
March
28th
will
be
our
10th
public
meeting
within
the
last
two
years.
But
in
between
that,
as
you
heard
colleague,
say,
and
as
Mr
Reeves
have
said,
we
meet
with
individuals
all
the
time
constantly
between
me
and
Mia
fifarante.
F
We
consistently
are
in
the
community
back
in
2020
and
2021
I
used
to
sit
in
Stinger
Square
Park
personally
and
have
office
hours
where
residents
can
come
and
talk
to
me
and
ask
about
the
project.
So
we
are
extremely
engaged
within
the
community,
but
that's
how
many
we've
had
hard
data
number
23
with
our
cap
and
10
it'll
be
10
on
March
the
28th
public
meetings.
E
Thank
you
very
much,
and
we
appreciate
the
level
of
communication
and
dialogue
that
your
company
has
been
having
not
only
with
my
office
but
most
important,
the
community
as
we
go
through
this
process.
This
is
only
the
beginning:
it's
like
a
10
to
20
year
project
and
so
the
partnership
with
the
community,
but,
most
importantly,
the
communication
is
obviously
critically
important,
but
we
thank
you
for
the
23
meetings
thus
far,
including
public
meetings
as
well.
That
has
been
taking
place
because
that's
how

are
formed
and
how
we
move
forward
together
as

M
Am
concerned
about
nearby
residents
cumulative
exposure
to
both
Warehouse
related
air
pollution
and
current
Benzene
emissions
from
the
former
Refinery
site.
Benzene
is
a
no-carcinogen
and
a
common
airplane.
The
EPA
sets
an
annual
Action
level
of
9
micrograms
per
meter
cube
to
indicate
health
risks
before
hillco
stopped
monitoring
their
fence
line.
Benzene
this
past
January,
four
of
their
gen
four
of
their
monitors,
exceeded
this
Action
level
of
nine
micrograms
per
meter
cubes
in
2022..
These
concentrations
ranged
from
9.1
to
14
micrograms
per
meter
cubed.
M
While
this
is
not
an
annual
average,
these
numbers
strongly
suggest
the
need
to
continue
monitoring
Benzene
Benzene
at
the
site.
Furthermore,
these
Benzene
exceedances
are
likely
to
increase
in
frequency
and
magnitude
if
hundreds
to
thousands
of
trucks
and
service
vehicles
are
used
for
the
warehouse
and
Logistics
Center.
In
addition
to
continuing
fence
line
monitoring,
we
need
air
monitoring
to
be
conducted
in
the
surrounding
residential
areas
where
community
members
live
and
work
over
300
000
people
live
within
three
miles
of
the
former
Refinery
and
fence
line
residents
are
exposed
to
multiple
pollutant
sources
simultaneously.
M
In
addition
to
the
former
refiner
and
future
Logistics
Center,
there
are
numerous
local
and
upwind
Industrial
Source
sources,
such
as
the
airport,
port
and
multiple
highways.
The
total
burden
of
pollutant
exposures
has
to
be
considered,
along
with
future
increases
in
pollution
due
to
building
warehouses
on
the
site
where
the
technology
exists.
We
need
continuous
monitoring
of
volatile
organic
compounds
such
as
Benzene
particulate
matter
and
other
pollutants
of
concerned.
To
ensure
development
plans
do
not
take
precedence
over
human
health
silco's
plan
for
the
Bellwether
District
involves
around
750
Acres
of
warehousing
and
Logistics.
M
It
would
be
poor
planning
not
to
look
at
other
areas
like
New,
York
City
and
the
Lehigh
Valley,
where
warehousing
truck
traffic
has
increased
air
pollution
and
harmed
environmental
justice
communities
for
the
sake
of
this
local
community
at
risk,
I
implore,
the
City
Planning
Commission
to
not
authorize

bills
220-943

you.

concerned
that
there
hasn't
been
a
comprehensive

for
the
Bellwether

before
approving
New

on
the

I
am
pleased
to
hear
as
of
this

that
a

is
planned,
but
I'm
still
concerned
that

from
the

will
not
be

the
communities
living
near
the
fall

will
increase
emissions
of
fine

matter,
ultra
fine

and
diesel
particulate
matter,
which
is
classified
as
a
carcinogen.
Ultra
fine
particles
have
the
ability
to
enter
the
bloodstream
and
cross
the
blood-brain
barrier,
and
that
leads
to
numerous
adverse
health
effects,
including
cardiovascular
and
respiratory
diseases.
N
Neighborhoods
and
public
infrastructure
near
the
Bellwether
District
are
already
bearing
an
undue
burden
of
air
pollution
from
highways,
I-95
Schuylkill
Expressway
and
the
airport.
The
Planning
Commission
could
not
approve
these
roadway
changes
before
hilco
works
with
Transportation
planners
and
Engineers
to
provide
the
public
with
a
realistic
and
comprehensive
proposal
for
how
truck
traffic
will
navigate
through

Specifically,
the

must
account
for
all
potential

residents
in

are
concerned
about

A
plan
should
be
in
place
to
ensure
that

is
rooted
away
from

of

Thrive
I'm
speaking
today
as
president
of
a
smart
collaboration,
an
initiative
originating
from
Green

Philly's
opposition
to
the
PES
refinery.
Thank
you,
chairman
Thomas,
and
members
of
the
committee
for
this
opportunity
to
address
bills.
O
220-943-50
and
220971
we're
grateful
to
hilco
for
coming
to
Philadelphia.
We
applauded
when
hilco
won
the
PES
bankruptcy
auction
in
2020..
We
appreciate
everything
Jasmine
sessions
has
presented
today
we
want
hilco
to
succeed.
We
want
the
Bellwether
District
to
prosper.
We
want
to
help
hilco
do
well
as
a
business
while
doing
good
for
Philadelphia
as
a
responsible
corporate
citizen.
Therefore,
please
be
assured
that
we
support
and
do
not
wish
to
oppose
or
impede
hilco's
Redevelopment
of
the
former
Refinery
property.
O
Specifically,
we
do
not
oppose
construction
of
streets
and
infrastructure
to
support
Hill
Coast
repurposing
of
the
site.
Furthermore,
we
recognize
that
timing
is
important.
Nevertheless,
we
oppose
approval
of
these
particular
ordinances.
At
this
time,
we
ask
that
you
recognize
that
the
proposals
before
you
are
premature
and
inadequately
conceived
and
that
you
should
therefore
defer
consideration
these
bills
for
development.
The
Y
defines
the
how
the
what
defines
the
where
the
ordinancy
for
you
presuppose
answers
to
questions
that
have
been
asked,
but
not
yet
answered.
O
Where
will
a
Street
Lead
who
will
use
the
street
and
for
what
purposes?
How
will
traffic
on
the
street
affect
congestion
and
pollution
within
the
wider
transportation
system?
What
would
be
the
health,
economic
and
social
impacts
of
such
uses
on
the
immediate
neighborhood
and
The
Wider
Community?
Why,
as
we
transition
to
Reliance
on
fossil
fuels,
do
we
envision
new
gas
infrastructure?
Moreover,
what
would
be
the
character
of
the
property?
Will
the
street
be
part
of
a
gated
industrial
site
like
the
Packer
Avenue
Marine
Terminal,
or
will
it
serve
a

The

believes
that
nothing
should
be
forced
onto
communities,
and
it
is
clear
that
the
city's
interested
in
Paving

construction.
Despite
clear,
Community
hesitation
about
these
specific
bills,
this
community
has
been
subject
to
years
of
ongoing
toxic
emissions
and
environmental
racism
and
we're
just
asking
for
a
clear
plan
that
shows
environmental
justice,
and
it
is
time
for
the
city
to
prioritize
people
in
their
house
and
take
time
to
consider

So
please
do
not
further
the
history
of
environmental
racism
and
environmental
justice
that
is
hurting
beloved
communities
in
the
city
and
don't
authorize
these

before
putting
in
due

Please
allow

Please
see
the
written
testimony
that
we've
submitted
for
images
and
additional
information
due
to
the
PES
refineries.
Past
emissions
and
the
long
latency
for
developing
cancer.
Neighborhood
residents
can
expect
increased
cancer
rates
for
several
decades.
In
addition
to
the
added
burden
of
chronic
disease
that
they've
endured
during
Refinery
operations,
the
Redevelopment
should
consider
this
long
history
of
Resident
environmental
overburden
and
seek
to
minimize
additional
health
and
environmental
impacts.
The
proposed
bills
represent
steps
toward
Redevelopment
in
a
piecemeal
fashion
to
protect
the
economic,
health
and
environmental
interests
of
the
public.
Q
We
we
urge
city
council
to
reject
this
approach
and
instead
require
hilco
to
present
for
your
consideration.
A
more
complete
plan
for
the
Thirteen
hundred
Hundred
Acre
Site
hilco
intends
to
dramatically
increase
the
impervious
cover
on
the
site,
which
would
substantially
increase
water
runoff,
possibly
affecting
adjacent
neighborhoods,
already
vulnerable
to
flooding.
Water
intrusion
leads
to
mold
growth,
exacerbating
asthma
and
leading
to
new
cases
of
Allergy
and
Asthma
flooding.
Events
increase
the
transport
of
Legacy,
hazardous
materials
from
the
site
to
the
community
by
a
surface
runoff
and
raising
water
tables.
Q
Significant
air
pollution
is
present
in
the
neighborhoods
surrounding
the
refinery
due
to
motor
vehicle
exhaust
and
Industrial
sources.
Traffic
in
these
neighborhoods
is
up
to
115
000
Vehicles
each
day
often
stop
and
go
with
thousands
of
idling
cars
with
within
a
hundred
feet
of
homes
producing
some
of
the
highest
emission
rates.
Motor
vehicle
exhaust
pollutants
lead
to
asthma,
premature
heart,
disease,
dementia
and
poor
birth
outcomes.
Philadelphia
has
elevated
rates
of
hospitalizations
for
these
conditions.
Diesel
exhaust
and
air
pollution
are
known
human
carcinogens.
Q
Our
research
has
demonstrated
that
adjacent
neighborhoods
are
already
overburdened
by
air
pollution
due
to
vehicle
exhaust
and
Industrial
emissions
with
lung
cancer
risks
higher
than
other
philadelphians
pilco's
plan
for
the
Redevelopment
calls
for
a
large
Logistics
facility.
We
estimate
that
the
increase
in
vehicles
would
double
the
traffic.
This
would
represent
a
substantial
worsening
of
the
air
quality
for
residents
and
the
region
worsening,
asthma,
heart
disease
and
cancer.
Q
Proceeding
with
a
piecemeal
approval
process
for
the
largest
Redevelopment
project
in
Philadelphia
in
a
century
seems
to
callously
disregard
environmental
justice,
core
principles
of
incorporating
Equity
meaningfully
involved
in
communities
and
protecting
against
ongoing
environmental
overburden
by
the
redevelopments
added
flooding
and
air
pollution.
We
strongly
urge
city
council
to
take
seriously
its
responsibility
to
protect
the
Health
and
Welfare
of
the
most
vulnerable
residents.
Thank
you
for
your
attention
and
to
the
opportunity
to
submit
these
comments.
A
D
R
R
You'll
bear
with
me
so
I,
echoing
previous
testimonies,
about
the
potential
risks
of
of
air
pollution
and
flooding
that
could
result
from
the
project
and
I
wanted
to
say
that
I'm
I'm
really
disappointed
and
that
the
city's
response
and
and
the
city's
role
in
planning
for
the
Redevelopment
of
the
site
has
been
so
minimal.
So
far,
I'm
struck
by
the
sharp
Divergence
and
the
in
the
views
that
have
been
presented
in
the
testimony
today.
R
I.
You
know
strongly
oppose
approval
for
these
bills
at
this
point
and
Echo.
The
call
for
for
you
know
the
comprehensive
traffic
plan
and
the
flooding
plan
to
be
done
as
soon
as
possible
and
I
would,
you
know,
really
like
to
see
just
a
much
more
proactive
leadership
from
the
Planning
Commission
and
from
city
council
and
making
sure
that
this
planning
you
know
that
this
development
is
done
in
a
way
that
honors
the
need,
for
you
know
the
critical
importance
of
Public,
Health
and
environmental
sustainability.
R
R
This
life
science
development
project
that
hulko
is
proposing,
will
add
to
that
and
we're
seeing
numerous
other
life
science
development
projects,
bringing
Gray's
Ferry
North
of
there,
the
pennovation
center
along
Grace,
Ferry
Avenue,
and
around
30th
Street,
is
planning
a
major
expansion.
There's
a
proposal
for
another
Life
Sciences
Campus
near
the
quartermaster
Plaza
along
Oregon
Avenue,
and
then
a
third
one
just
across
the
river
next
to
bartram's,
Garden
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
the
potential
impact
of
this
development
in
terms
of
making
the
Grace
Ferry
Community
more
attractive
to
high-wage.
R
High
salary
workers
and
have
a
comprehensive
plan
for
preserving
housing,
affordability
for
working
class,
Grace,
Ferry
residents
at
the
same
time
and
I,
and
the
last
thing
I'll
say,
is
that
you
know
we
keep
hearing
that
the
issues
will
be
addressed
later.
There'll
be
a
traffic
study
later
Etc,
but
that's
not
good
enough.
It's
a
really
fundamental
issues
and
we
need
to
address
them
now
before
further
approvement.
So
thank
you.
Jeremy
yeah!
Yes,.
A
R
A
S
Good
evening,
good
evening,
I'm
sorry
good
afternoon,
everyone,
my
name-
is
Tiffany
green
and
I'm,
with
the
consensus
of
Point
Breeze
I'm,
calling
on
to
ask
that
Bill's,
221-940-22
I
think
one
nine
four
three
nine
four
three
be
put
on
hold
until
Community
groups
are
all
treated
equally
and
fairly.
Okay,
I
feel
it's
Bill.
Hilco
wants
to
work
with
the
groups
and
we
have
been
working
over
a
year
to
try
and
work
with
them
in
a
respectful,
Manner
and
everything,
but
I
still
at
this
particular
Point.
S
There's
certain
issues
that
need
to
be
brought
to
the
table
before
a
group
ship
before
this
Corporation
should
be
able
to
move
forward.
One
is
this
should
be
an
rco
meeting
where
they
actually
have
designs
of
low-level
developers
have
to
go
and
put
their
money
out
and
put
together
architectural
design,
because
it's
up
to
come
to
the
community,
so
they
can
see
what
they
mean
in
terms
of
right-of-ways.
That
is
what
everyone
should
follow,
not
low
level
mid-level
and
high
level.
Okay.
S
To
do
that,
that's
why
people
have
so
many
questions,
because
no
one
has
seen
the
architectural
plans,
and
so
they
should
be
required
to
file
the
rco
process
and
I
think
that
a
lot
of
these
questions
would
go
and
be
taken
care
of.
But,
more
importantly,
the
reason
why
I'm
calling
because
I
feel
at
this
point
that
a
lot
of
the
groups
are
not
being
treated
fairly.
It
is
not
right
for
hilka
to
set
up
two
different
tables
with
having
groups
with
a
full
vote
and
then
other
groups
with
like
a
little
percentage,
partial
vote.
S
That
is
unfair
treatment
and
then,
on
top
of
that,
asking
black
groups
to
do
one
thing
and
then
turn
around
and
we
see
where
white
lead
groups
are
being
getting
access
and
getting
meetings
all
right.
And
then,
on
top
of
that
with
the
cap
you
have
cap.
Members
are
being
asked
to
vote
on
other
non-cap
members,
and
anybody
knows
who's
been
in
this
business
regarding
Community
benefit
agreement.
If
someone
thinks
that
they're
going
to
get
a
piece
of
your
pie,
of
course,
they're
going
to
vote,
not
vote
to.
Have
you
on
the
group?
S
That
is
not
right,
that
is
creating
chaos
in
the
community
and
some
people
call
it
Plantation
politics,
and
you
should
not
treat
people
like
that.
It
should
be
one
table
where
we
all
at
the
table
with
one
full
group.
Nobody
has
seen
this
cap
agreement.
Is
it
ordinance?
Is
it
a
resolution
and
also
it's
taking
place
in
1980.?
S
You
don't
know,
what's
being
said
over
here
and
what's
being
said
over
there,
that
is
not
the
way
a
corporation
should
come
into
a
city,
thirteen
hundred
acres
and
being
impacted
with
everyone
and
be
allowed
to
to
treat
people
in
that
manner
and
I'm
asking
Council
to
put
a
hold
on
this
and
make
sure
that
everybody
is
treated
respectfully
equally
and
not
unfairly.
Okay,
all
groups
and
from
all
different
ethnic
groups
should
have
a
seat
at
that
table
and
I.
Ask
that
you
do
something
about
this
before
moving
forward
and
not
allow
this
to
happen.
