Are you in need of a Toxic Tort Lawyer in The Sunshine State? The EPA has designated Peak Oil Co./Bay Drum Co. in Florida as a Superfund site because of its amounts of environmental toxins and danger to the environment. You can read the report for the site below.
Some Superfund sites are on the National Priority Site Lists. The National Priorities List ("NPL") is the list of hazardous waste sites in the United States eligible for long-term remedial action financed under the federal Superfund program. Environmental Protection Agency regulations outline a formal process for assessing hazardous waste sites and placing them on the NPL. The NPL is intended primarily to guide the EPA in determining which sites warrant further investigation.
Sites are listed on the NPL upon completion of Hazard Ranking System (HRS) screening, public solicitation of comments about the proposed site, and after all comments have been addressed. EPA may delete a final NPL site if it determines that no further response is required to protect human health or the environment. Sites where a remediation was completed through the Superfund program are typically deleted from the NPL.
Living near Superfund Sites in Florida may place you and your communtiy at risk of getting sick from exposure to the site and experiencing a loss of value for your property, but action is being taken to fight back: The EPA says,
[We have] set up a "Post Construction Completion" (or PCC) strategy to ensure that Superfund response actions provide for the long-term protection of human health and the environment. EPA's Post Construction Completion activities also involve optimizing remedies to increase effectiveness and/or reduce cost without sacrificing long-term protection of human health and the environment.However, most of the Superfund sites still pose a health hazard to the health of local residents.

| Peak Oil Co./Bay Drum Co. EPA ID: FLD004091807 Location:Tampa, Hillsborough County, FL Congressional District: 11 NPL Status: Proposed: 10/15/84; Final 06/10/86 Project Manager Site Repository: Brandon Regional Library 619 Vonderburg Dr. Brandon, FL 33511 Documents:
Site Background: Residential neighborhoods, light manufacturing facilities, warehouses and Hillsborough County's refuse-to-energy plant are located in the area around the site. The soils, sludge, surface water, and sediments on site are contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), volatile organic compounds, and heavy metals including arsenic and lead from former process wastes. In addition, the groundwater is contaminated with volatile organic compounds and heavy metals. Before EPA got involved, potential health threats in the area included contact with contaminated onsite soils and/or surface water runoff. Cleanup Progress: Threat Mitigated by Physical Clean-up Work Soil (OU 1 and OU 3): Remedial designs addressing OU 1 and OU 3 were finalized in September 2000. The remedial action construction activities designed to address OU 1 and OU 3 were completed during the summer/fall of 2001. The major components of the OU 1 remedy were as follows: The major components of the OU 3 remedy were as follows: · Excavation and stabilization/solidification of impacted
soils. Groundwater (OU 2): Implementation of the cleanup option for the area-wide impacted groundwater (i.e., pump and treat) was delayed until after completion of the soil cleanup. Based on information gained during the late 1990s and early 2000s, the viability and need for implementing the remedy selected in the 1993 ROD for OU 2 was in need of re-examination. In order to evaluate possible cleanup alternatives for OU 2, a Feasibility Study (FS) was initiated in 2003 and completed in 2004. Specifically, a focused Feasibility Study and a Pre-Design were submitted and reviewed. This re-analysis lead to the generation of a Proposed Plan in the fall of 2004. The Proposed Plan summarized for the public the preferred cleanup
strategy, rationale for the preference, alternatives presented in
the detailed analysis of the Feasibility Study/Pre-Design. The preferred alternatives were made official in the ROD Amendment signed by the EPA Waste Division Director on January 7, 2005. The Remedial Design was completed in January 2005, and the expectation is that groundwater cleanup approach will be installed and operational in 2005. Wetlands (OU 4): As required in the ROD, sampling of the Wetland (OU 4) occurred before construction activities at OU 1 and OU 3 began (i.e., pre-OU 1 and OU 3 construction sampling). Post-OU 1 and OU 3 construction sampling of the Wetland occurred in late 2002 with a report of the results submitted in March 2003. Discussions are ongoing as to what should be the next step(s) with regard to the Wetland. Five Year Review: Given the initiation of remedial actions for OU 1 and OU 3 in 2000,
the first Five-Year Review Report is due to be completed by the
end of September 2005. |
