Superfund record of decision (EPA Region 4): Woodbury Chemical Site, Princeton, FL. (First remedial action), June 1992. Final report

Technical Report · Thu Jun 25 00:00:00 EDT 1992

OSTI ID:6142091

The 5-acre Woodbury Chemical (Princeton Plant) site is a pesticide and fertilizer formulation and storage facility located approximately one-half mile southwest of Princeton, Dade County, Florida. From 1959 to the present, the site has been used for formulating technical-grade materials to produce pesticides and fertilizers. As a result of a tank leak or spill in the late 1970's, EPA conducted numerous investigations that revealed toxaphene contamination in soil. In 1990, a removal action was conducted at the site, which resulted in the excavation of contaminated soil. Soil contaminated with greater than 100 mg/kg of toxaphene was sent offsite to the GSX facility in Pinewood, South Carolina, and soil contaminated with less than 100 mg/kg was sent to the South Dade County landfill. The previous removal action has eliminated the principal threat at the site and no additional action is necessary to protect human health or the environment. Therefore, there are no contaminants of concern affecting this site.
