Alaric Area GW Plume
The 1.7-acre Alaric Area GW Plume Superfund site is in the Orient Park area of Tampa, Florida. It includes the former Alaric property and several adjacent lots where contaminated groundwater migrated. Starting in the early 1970s, a variety of businesses operated on site. Their operations and waste handling practices resulted in environmental contamination. Soil and groundwater monitoring by EPA and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection in the late 1990s found significant amounts of chlorinated solvents in soil and groundwater. EPA added the site to the National Priorities List (NPL) in December 2000. Cleanup included removal of the shallow soil contamination and septic tank believed to be the main source of chlorinated solvents, treatment of contaminated soil using chemical oxidation, and thermal heating and pumping and treatment of contaminated groundwater. Thermal heating of source-zone soils to remediate areas with high solvent concentrations followed these cleanup actions. The final phase of soil treatment finished in November 2017. After site restoration finished in May 2018, a new owner purchased the site property. The owner sought to rehabilitate and lease the vacant metal building on site. EPA worked closely with the owner to support reuse that would ensure the protectiveness of the remedy. EPA did a vapor intrusion investigation and put a vapor mitigation system in place. EPA recently installed a soil vapor extraction (SVE) system just above the surficial aquifer to clean up contaminated gas vapors trapped beneath the building slab. The SVE system will work with the onsite vapor mitigation that will remain protective of the human health of all building occupants and surrounding environment. A lawn service company leases the 5,000-square-foot building. The company uses the property for office space and lawn equipment storage and maintenance. EPA continues to monitor groundwater temperature and the decline of contaminant levels after thermal treatment of source areas.

Beulah Landfill
The 101-acre Beulah Landfill Superfund site is in Escambia County, Florida. Escambia County operated a landfill on site from 1966 to 1984. A state investigation in 1987 found that site activities had contaminated soil and groundwater. EPA added the site to the National Priorities List (NPL) in 1990. The cleanup approach is to close the landfill in accordance with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) landfill closure program. The site's responsible party, Escambia County, is performing required cleanup activities under the state program. Landfill closure included capping, monitoring groundwater and removing contaminated soil located outside the capped areas. Land use controls limit future site development. In 1998, EPA took the site off the NPL. Groundwater monitoring is ongoing under the state program. Following reuse discussions in the community, Northwest Florida Modelers, a local model airplane club, came to an agreement with Escambia County to use the site for flying model airplanes. Today, part of Beulah Landfill is known as Fritz Field, a model airplane flying park. Funds generated by the airplane club are used for maintenance of Fritz Field. Escambia County, EPA and FDEP converted this former landfill property into a valuable asset that provides open-space recreation opportunities for the community.

Brown's Dump
The Brown's Dump Superfund site occupies about 250 acres in Jacksonville, Florida. The city of Jacksonville (City) used the area as a landfill for incinerator ash from the 1940s to 1953. When the landfill closed, the Duval County School Board acquired the site property. The school board built an elementary school over the former landfill. The site also includes a Jacksonville Electric Authority (JEA) electrical substation and residences. Sampling of area soil found lead and other contaminants from incinerator ash in the landfill. An EPA inspection in 1998 concluded that cleanup actions would be required. EPA did not add the site to the National Priorities List (NPL) but considers it an NPL-caliber site and is addressing it through the Superfund Alternative Approach. The City agreed to conduct cleanup activities. The cleanup plan, developed in 2006, required removal of contaminated soils and their replacement with clean soil. The cleanup addressed a former school property and about 216 residential properties, allowing people to continue living safely in their homes. Single-family homes and multi-unit apartments occupy areas around the original landfill. JEA also continues to operate an electrical substation on 2 acres of the site. In 2010, EPA's Superfund Job Training Initiative program provided environmental remediation training for 26 trainees in the Jacksonville area. The trainees live in communities affected by two Superfund sites – the Jacksonville Ash site and the Brown's Dump site. In 2012, White Harvest Farms, an 11-acre urban farm run by the Clara White Mission, began operating at the site. The teaching farm invites children from local schools to learn about agriculture and earth science. Farm produce is sold at an on-site farmers market that helps fund the Mission. The produce also helps provide meals for disadvantaged community members.

Cabot/Koppers
The 140-acre Cabot/Koppers Superfund site is in Gainesville, Florida. Beazer East and the Cabot Carbon Corporation are the potentially responsible parties (PRPs) for the cleanup of the two site properties. The Koppers property includes 90 acres on the western part of the site. The Cabot property covers 50 acres on the eastern part of the site. The Koppers property includes the area where a wood treatment facility operated between 1916 and 2009. The Cabot property includes areas where tar, turpentine and charcoal were made from 1908 to 1967. Site operations led to contamination of soil and groundwater. EPA added the site to the National Priorities List (NPL) in 1984. Cleanup included pumping and treating contaminated groundwater; this remedy has been in operation for over 20 years. EPA's Superfund Redevelopment Program (SRP) supported a regional seed project for the site in 2010 and 2011. The project's reuse assessment outlines community goals and reuse considerations and identifies ways to coordinate remedial and redevelopment activities at the site. EPA updated the remedy in 2011, requiring more cleanup of soils and groundwater by the PRPs. The PRPs completed the remedy for the Cabot property in 2020. Remedy construction at the Koppers property is ongoing. A shopping mall, a car dealership and several other businesses are on parts of the Cabot property. The Koppers property is not in use. EPA continues to explore reuse and redevelopment options with property owners, local stakeholders, the local government and the community. In 2019, EPA's SRP provided support for an expanded reuse assessment for the site and surrounding area based on updated reuse plans.

Cascade Park Gasification Plant
The 10-acre Cascade Park Gasification Plant site is located in Tallahassee, Florida. From 1895 until the mid-1950s, the city of Tallahassee (City) operated a manufactured gas plant (MGP) on site. The MGP turned coal into gas to provide light and heat for city residents. A city-owned landfill opened nearby in the 1920s (Cascade Landfill). It accepted waste from the MGP. In 1987, the state of Florida and EPA determined that site activities and waste management practices had contaminated soil, sediment and groundwater. The City and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection worked with EPA to clean up the site under a non-time-critical removal action. Cleanup activities included removing contaminated soil, capping residual contamination and monitoring groundwater. The community developed a reuse plan to manage stormwater, create a public park, preserve local natural resources and commemorate the site's history. In 2008, EPA Region 4 recognized the community's planning efforts with its Excellence in Site Reuse award. In April 2010, the City and Blueprint 2000, a local intergovernmental agency, continued the removal action and began construction of the 24-acre Cascades Park. Cascades Park officially opened in March 2014. It includes the MGP property. Over 1,000 people attended the opening ceremony. Park features include 2.3 miles of trails, playgrounds, a waterfall, interactive fountains, a war memorial, and an amphitheater for concerts and community events. The park also serves as a stormwater management system to provide flood relief during major storm events. In February 2019, EPA completed the site's groundwater remedial investigation. EPA documented its findings in a no-further-action Record of Decision.

Chemform, Inc.
The 4-acre Chemform, Inc. Superfund site is located in Pompano Beach, Florida. Between 1967 and 1985, the facility made metal parts for the aerospace industry and electrochemical machines for other industries. Facility operations discharged process wastewater into an open trench and a septic system and associated leach field near the manufacturing building. A 1985 assessment found that facility activities and waste disposal practices had contaminated soil and groundwater. In 1989, EPA added the site to the National Priorities List (NPL). Cleanup activities included removing and properly disposing of contaminated soil, containerized wastes, debris and tank contents. Contractors also installed a groundwater monitoring system. After cleanup, EPA took the site off the NPL in 2000. Recent groundwater sampling data indicate that arsenic and vinyl chloride remain in a few wells at concentrations that exceed EPA and state drinking water standards. More investigations are underway to determine the extent of groundwater contamination. Property use restrictions and the availability of municipal water supplies protect people from drinking contaminated groundwater at the site. A company has operated a wholesale produce distribution center at the site since 2010.

Davie Landfill
The Davie Landfill Superfund site is located in Broward County, Florida. A landfill operated on site from 1964 to 1987. The landfill accepted construction debris, tires and municipal wastes. In addition, a basin at the site received grease trap material, septic tank sludge and treated municipal sludge. Waste disposal activities led to the contamination of site soils, sediments and groundwater. EPA added the site to the National Priorities List (NPL) in 1983. With EPA oversight, Broward County contained the cyanide- and sulfide-contaminated basin sediments, stabilizing the material in a disposal cell and capping the cell with a protective covering. Natural processes that break down contaminants are addressing the contamination in site groundwater. In 2006, EPA took the site off the NPL. The site's remedy allows for a variety of recreational uses. About 160 acres of the 210-acre site are now part of Vista View Park, which opened in 2003. Park facilities include trails, picnic shelters, playgrounds, basketball courts, an equestrian corral, an airstrip for electric radio-controlled planes and glider pilots, fishing docks, and an area for camping. In 2010, EPA Region 4 recognized Broward County's leadership with its Excellence in Site Reuse award.

Escambia Wood - Pensacola
The Escambia Wood Treating Company – Pensacola Superfund site is in Pensacola, Florida. From 1942 to 1982, the Escambia Wood Treating Company operated a wood-preserving plant at the site. Facility operations and waste management practices contaminated soil and groundwater. In 1991, the company filed for bankruptcy and abandoned the facility. EPA added the site to the National Priorities List (NPL) in 1994. EPA has led several cleanup actions at the site. Activities include permanently relocating residents affected by the site and restricting land and groundwater use on site. Cleanup also included excavation and capping of contaminated soil as well as groundwater treatment. In 2000, Escambia County developed a master redevelopment plan for the site with pilot funding from EPA's Superfund Redevelopment Program (SRP). The plan identified the area as a prime location for a business park. The design and implementation of the site's final cleanup plan, selected in 2006, took the future use plans into account. In 2007, EPA, state and local agencies, and community leaders gathered at the site to kick off the soil cleanup. In 2013, EPA issued a Ready for Reuse Determination stating the site's remedy is compatible with commercial and industrial uses. EPA transferred 70 acres to Escambia County in 2018 for the development of Midtown Commerce Park. In 2019, EPA partially deleted about 50 acres of the site from the NPL. Land use in these areas is restricted to commercial and industrial uses. Escambia County used the site to stage and process hurricane debris in 2020. Escambia County is leading the future redevelopment of the 100-acre property.

Former Spellman Engineering
The Former Spellman Engineering site is near downtown Orlando, Florida. Spellman Engineering, a former parts cleaning facility, operated at the site from 1963 to 1969. In 1992, EPA detected a groundwater contaminant plume extending beyond the property boundaries. The plume contained chemicals associated with the parts cleaning operations. The city of Orlando (the City) and Orlando Utility Commission (OUC) acquired much of the property prior to discovery of the plume. Under a lease agreement with an option to purchase, Lake Highland Preparatory School (LHPS) developed some of the land into a sports and recreation complex. In 2007 and 2008, EPA's Superfund Redevelopment Program provided support to EPA Region 4 to conduct community involvement and outreach efforts regarding site cleanup and redevelopment. In 2008, the City signed the first contiguous property owner agreement (CPO) in the country to conduct the site's cleanup. The City used the LHPS sale proceeds to help fund the cleanup. This prevented the site's listing on the National Priorities List (NPL). LHPS also worked with the City, state and EPA to finalize Bona Fide Prospective Purchaser and Brownfield Site Rehabilitation agreements. These agreements addressed potential liability concerns and facilitated the property's reuse. Burial of the site's groundwater cleanup system allowed for remediation while optimizing reuse opportunities. The project provided benefits for all parties involved. For the City and OUC, the site's cleanup protects public health, while the adjacent property's redevelopment will provide new land uses to address community needs. For surrounding neighborhoods, the cleanup addresses local health and safety concerns, removes a community "eyesore," and results in the Lake Highland property's redevelopment in a manner consistent with community goals and priorities. For LHPS, the site's cleanup provides an adjacent land area for new and expanded school facilities. The school's O'Meara Family Sports Center includes a ballfield, practice fields and parking. Future expansion plans call for a gymnasium and maintenance facilities. The Dinky Line segment of the Orlando Urban Trail, a paved recreation trail, extends through the area. Commercial and industrial businesses are located on part of the site as well as municipal parking lots. The City and OUC are also exploring opportunities for mixed-use redevelopment near Central Florida's new SunRail commuter rail line and other planned public transit facilities.

Harris Corp. (Palm Bay Plant)
The 310-acre Harris Corp. (Palm Bay Plant) Superfund site is located in Palm Bay, Florida. The site was home to an electronics firm from the 1950s until Harris Corporation purchased the firm in 1967. Intersil Corporation bought the operations from Harris Corporation. In the early 1980s, EPA discovered groundwater contamination under the facility and in a nearby well field. As a result, EPA added the site to the National Priorities List (NPL) in 1987. The site's potentially responsible party removed and treated contaminated groundwater. In 2002, groundwater treatment ended. Groundwater monitoring is ongoing. In 2010, Intersil Corporation donated a $13 million, state-of-the-art fabrication facility and a 5-acre property to the University of Central Florida as a research center. After the University decided against using the buildings, Intersil Corporation worked with EPA and the Florida Institute of Technology (FIT) to finalize FIT's purchase of the facility and land. FIT now uses the area as an extended campus for students. In February 2015, Harris Corporation opened a 464,000-square-foot, $130 million technology center on site. The center's construction created nearly 300 jobs for workers in the area. In the summer of 2016, Intersil Corporation sold part of its property for development of a convenience store and gas station. In 2017, Renesas purchased Intersil. Renesas now operates Intersil's former plant on site. Renesas also leases parts of its property to other companies.

Jacksonville Ash Site
The Jacksonville Ash Site Superfund site is in Jacksonville, Florida. The site includes three areas where the city of Jacksonville's (City's) municipal incinerators created and deposited ash. The Forest Street Incinerator covers about 370 acres. The 5th & Cleveland Incinerator covers about 520 acres. Lonnie C. Miller, Sr. Park covers about 250 acres. These areas are in residential areas. The Forest Street Incinerator and the 5th & Cleveland Incinerator were the City's municipal solid waste incinerators from the 1910s to the 1960s. Operators disposed of combustion ash, clinker and ash residues on the incinerator properties, as well as on the land later redeveloped into Lonnie C. Miller, Sr. Park. EPA did not add the site to the National Priorities List (NPL) but considers it an NPL-caliber site. EPA is addressing the site through the Superfund Alternative Approach. Cleanup efforts have included soil removal, surface covers and use restrictions to prevent contact with contaminated soils. Current land uses on site include residential, commercial, industrial, recreational and public service uses. All three sections of the site remained in use during cleanup. Facilities at Lonnie C. Miller, Sr. Park include playgrounds, picnic pavilions, restrooms, a sand volleyball court, walking paths and parking areas. The 5th Street and Cleveland Incinerator area is now home to the Emmet C. Reed Community Center, a pool and recreation facilities, including a basketball court, playground, the MaliVai Washington Tennis Center and parking. The Forest Street Incinerator area includes a park building, a ball field, parking, playground areas and an animal care facility. EPA Region 4 recognized the community's leadership with its Excellence in Site Reuse award in 2015. Future plans call for more park facilities and a creek-side recreation trail.

Landia Chemical Company
The 13-acre Landia Chemical Company Superfund site is located in Lakeland, Florida. The site spans two property parcels – the former Landia Chemical Company (LCC) property and the former Florida Favorite Fertilizer (FFF) Company. FFF began fertilizer blending operations around 1935. Between 1945 and 1987, three companies conducted industrial pesticide operations on the former LCC property. Over time, facility waste management and disposal activities released contaminants into the environment. EPA placed the site on the National Priorities List (NPL) in 2000. With oversight by EPA and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the responsible parties cleaned up the site. Cleanup included removal and disposal of contaminated soil as well as land and groundwater use restrictions. Groundwater treatment is ongoing. Responsible parties replanted vegetation and over 30 varieties of plants and trees now grow on site. These areas are in ecological reuse. They provide habitat for native wildlife, migratory birds and pollinators. The trees also help clean up groundwater through uptake and phytoremediation. The FFF facility is currently owned by Sylvite Southeast, a wholesale fertilizer merchant. The company continues to operate a fertilizer-blending facility on site. In 2013, EPA Region 4 recognized the site's potentially responsible parties with its Excellence in Site Reuse Award, in recognition of their ecological revitalization efforts at the site.

Munisport Landfill
The Munisport Landfill Superfund site is located in North Miami, Florida. A wetland mangrove preserve connected to Biscayne Bay borders the site. The 170-acre former landfill is part of a larger parcel of land originally planned for use as part of a trade and cultural center. The center's developers received solid waste in the 1970s for use as fill material during construction. The developers disposed of 6 million cubic yards of solid waste in an unlined landfill. These disposal practices contaminated area groundwater and surface water. EPA added the site to the National Priorities List (NPL) in 1983. Site investigations in the late 1980s found the landfill no longer threatened human health. However, more cleanup was necessary in the mangrove wetlands. Workers put in a barrier to collect and treat groundwater and to prevent contaminants from spreading. More tidal wetland restoration activities followed. After cleanup, EPA took the site off the NPL in 1999. Beginning in 2002, developers worked on creating a billion-dollar master-planned community known as Biscayne Landing on site. Today, completed development includes two 25-story towers of luxury condominiums, retail space and an award-winning 7-acre lagoon used for recreation.

Starting in 1966, airport industrial operations resulted in spills and leaks of jet fuel and petroleum solvents. In 1970, the airport found leaked solvent in the northeast section of the airport. Investigations confirmed airport operations contaminated surface water and groundwater. EPA added the site to the National Priorities List (NPL) in 1983. Dade County put in 43 monitoring wells to determine the extent and magnitude of spilled jet fuel. Dade County then put recovery wells in the Concourse E area. After cleanup, EPA took the site off the NPL in 1988. The area remains in continued use as part of Miami International Airport.

West Florida Natural Gas Company
The 8-acre West Florida Natural Gas Company Superfund site is located in Ocala, Florida. A manufactured gas plant operated on site from 1890 to 1953. Waste disposal practices resulted in soil and groundwater contamination. People's Gas System, the potentially responsible party (PRP) for the site, removed and disposed of 10,000 tons of contaminated soil in 1990. EPA did not list the site on the National Priorities List (NPL) but considers it an NPL-caliber site. EPA is addressing the site through the Superfund Alternative Approach, which uses the same investigation process, cleanup process and standards used for sites listed on the NPL. Site investigations and cleanup planning are ongoing. Site properties are fenced. A reinforced concrete slab covers most areas of contaminated soil. A scrap metal recycling facility operates on the site.

Wilson Concepts of Florida, Inc.
The 2-acre Wilson Concepts of Florida, Inc. Superfund site is in Pompano Beach, Florida. Wilson Concepts operated a precision parts manufacturing facility on site from 1967 to 1987. Waste handling practices resulted in soil and groundwater contamination. EPA added the site to the National Priorities List (NPL) in 1989. After further investigation, EPA determined that the site did not pose a risk to human health or the environment. EPA took the site off the NPL in 1995 after determining that site groundwater met federal drinking water standards. Precision Metal Industries, a sheet metal manufacturer, currently operates on site. In 2018, EPA's Region 4 Superfund Redevelopment Program provided support to evaluate the site's status relative to EPA's Sitewide Ready for Anticipated Use (SWRAU) measure by taking additional soil samples to analyze for hexavalent chromium. These sampling results confirmed that all contaminants of concern, including hexavalent chromium were at levels low enough to allow for unrestricted use/unlimited exposure and that no institutional controls were required. In 2018, EPA determined the site meets SWRAU criteria.

Woodbury Chemical Co. (Princeton Plant)
The 5-acre Woodbury Chemical Co. (Princeton Plant) Superfund site is located in Princeton, Florida. The Woodbury Chemical Company formulated, distributed and sold fertilizers and pesticides at the site. After a 1979 chemical spill at the site, the Miami-Dade County Department of Environmental Resources Management found high levels of contamination in drinking water wells on and near the site. EPA sampling also identified contamination in soil and groundwater. EPA placed the site on the National Priorities List (NPL) in 1990. The Woodbury Chemical Company removed contaminated soil from the chemical spill area. EPA's final cleanup plan required groundwater monitoring but did not require further action for the soil. After groundwater monitoring results showed the site did not pose a significant risk to public health, EPA took the site off the NPL in 1995. Woodbury Chemical Company and a farm supply store continued to operate on site during cleanup activities. A residential development company purchased the site property in 2005. A vehicle maintenance and repair business and a salvage yard currently operate at the site.

Yellow Water Road Dump
The Yellow Water Road Superfund site is located in Baldwin, Florida. In the early 1980s, the American Environmental Energy Corporation, the American Electric Corporation and the American Environmental Protection Corporation joined together to start a disposal facility at the site. During facility operations, chemicals spilled onto the ground and contaminated the soil. EPA placed the site on the National Priorities List (NPL) in 1986. Cleanup activities included treating contaminated soil, monitoring groundwater, and restricting well water use and certain land uses in the area. After cleanup finished, EPA took the site off the NPL in 1999. EPA's carefully selected cleanup plan and cooperation and open communication among site stakeholders has enabled the continued use of part of the site for horse and cattle grazing.

Zellwood Ground Water Contamination
The 57-acre Zellwood Ground Water Contamination Superfund site is located in Zellwood, Florida, just outside of Orlando. Beginning in the 1960s, several industrial businesses operated on site, including the Drum Service Company (DSC). After emptying and cleaning steel drums, DSC left liquid waste and dirty water in unlined ponds and ditches. In the early 1980s, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) found large amounts of heavy metals in wastewater and groundwater samples. Later investigations found that several other companies operating at the site also contributed to the contamination. After the removal of contaminated drums, EPA added the site to the National Priorities List (NPL) in 1983. Cleanup activities included isolating heavily-contaminated soils inside a protected concrete structure (monolith) and installing permanent monitoring wells. DSC, now known as Industrial Container Services, LLC of Florida, still occupies most of the site and continues to implement a Monitored Natural Attenuation Remedy to address inorganic groundwater contamination. The company also maintains the covered, grassy monolith area and fence and carries out the required institutional controls. The site contains wooded wetlands and remains in active industrial use. Companies on site manufacture liquid cleaning products, machine lubricants and concrete.
