Quarterly Inventory Report on Contaminated Locations in Broward County, Florida
INTRODUCTION
This quarterly report has been prepared by the Broward County Environmental Protection Department to update the established inventory of known contaminated locations within Broward County, Florida. This report includes sites listed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), and sites licensed for contamination assessment and cleanup by the Division of Pollution Prevention and Remediation (Division) of the Department. This report is not necessarily all-inclusive as there may be some sites currently in the early stages of investigation which may be added to this inventory in the future. Conversely, facilities listed in this inventory based on reasonable documentation at that time may have been deemed to be clean based on additional investigations; or satisfactorily remediated. Such facilities will be removed from this report in the next issue. Records on such facilities will be retained by the Department and are available for public review.
Locations listed in the Environmental Assessment and Remediation licensing program include those contaminated with petroleum and non-petroleum constituents. These sites are licensed by the Division prior to the initiation of assessment activities. Remediation of these facilities is most typically performed by a responsible party (i.e., business owner, property owner, etc.) with oversight by the Division. There are 263 facilities in this program. In addition there are 56 facilities for which FDEP is the lead agency.
The FDEP Petroleum Cleanup Program utilizes State funds for the cleanup of qualified petroleum contaminated sites. This program was developed by FDEP to encourage facilities which stored petroleum products to report any releases of petroleum contaminants to the soil, groundwater or surface water. There are 600 facilities in this program of which 84 are being cleaned up under the pre-approval program.
The FDEP Dry-Cleaning Solvent Cleanup Program includes dry-cleaning or wholesale supply facilities eligible for state cleanup funds. There are 160 facilities in this program.
Superfund: Several sites in Broward County are on the USEPA's National Priorities List (NPL) which identifies Superfund sites. These "Superfund" sites are eligible for federally-funded cleanup, but whenever possible the EPA attempts to make the responsible parties or generators of the wastes pay to remediate contamination that has resulted from improper disposal methods. There are 5 facilities in this program.
Hard copies of this inventory report are no longer printed. The inventory is provided in electronic format as an Excel file that can be downloaded by clicking on Inventory (.xls, 250 KB). The file can be opened by most database and/or spreadsheet software programs. The facilities have been listed according to a "Site Number" which appears on the Map (.pdf, 5 MB) of contaminated sites. (An interactive map will be available soon.) You can also search for contaminated sites based on different criteria by clicking on Contaminated Site Search.
