The 20-acre Dubose Oil Products site is an inactive waste storage, treatment, recycling, and disposal facility in Cantonment, Escambia County, Florida. Surrounding land use is primarily rural agricultural. The site overlies a deep aquifer, which serves as a drinking water source for area residents. Site operations began in 1979, and included thermal treatment of waste oil, petroleum refining wastes, oil based solvents, and wood treatment wastes; steam heating of spent iron/steel pickle liquors; and rock salt filtration of waste diesel fuel. Operations ceased in 1981, and the site owner commenced closure of the site without a proper closure plan. Site investigations in 1988 identified the soil containment vault as the principal contaminant source and this Record of Decision addresses final remediation of source areas and onsite shallow ground water. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil, sediment, ground water, and surface water are VOCs including benzene, TCE, toluene, and xylenes; and other organics including PAHs and phenols.
