| Abstract |
The City Industries site is a former hazardous waste recycling and transfer facility in Goldenrod Township, Orange County, Florida, near the cities of Winter Park and Orlando. The city of Winter Park's water supply well field is located approximately 1,900 feet west of the site. These wells draw from the deep Floridan aquifer, which is separated from a surficial aquifer by a 140-foot-thick confining layer. In 1971, a former fuel oil business at the site was developed into a waste-handling facility. Activities at the site included receiving, handling, storing, reclaiming, and disposing of various waste chemicals. Improper disposal practices and intentional dumping led to onsite soil and surficial ground water contamination. The Record of Decision (ROD) addresses contaminated ground water, which is migrating through the surficial aquifer, a potential drinking water source, and prevention of contaminant migration to the deeper Floridan aquifer. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the ground water are VOCs including benzene, PCE, TCE, and toluene. |
