Public health assessment for Stauffer Chemical Company/Tampa, Tampa, Hillsborough County, Florida, Region 4. Cerclis No. FLD004092532. Preliminary report
The Stauffer Chemical Co. (Tampa Plant) site is a former pesticide formulating and packaging operation in Tampa, Florida. Past disposal practices have contaminated on-site air, soil, surface water, sediments, and ground water. We classify this site as an indeterminate public health hazard. Neither the Environmental Protection Agency nor Stauffer have fully delineated the vertical and lateral extent of contamination in the Floridan aquifer. The one on-site caretaker has been exposed to contaminants via inhalation and incidental soil ingestion. Future workers may also be exposed to contaminants. The available data, however, do not indicate that these exposures would cause adverse health effects. The data are inadequate, however, to assess the risk for the 5-50 people who eat fish from the nearby Tampa Bypass Canal.
