Technical Report · Mon Jul 17 00:00:00 EDT 1989

OSTI ID:7168827

The Bay Drum's Site (BDS) is listed on the National Priorities List. The 10-acre site, an inactive recycling operation, is located adjacent to two NPL sites in Tampa (Hillsborough County), Florida. Three unlined holding ponds on-site contained various organic solvents and pesticide residues. Preliminary on-site surface water sampling results have identified various volatile organic compounds. They include 1,2-dichloroethene, 4-methyl phenol, ethyl ether, acetone, and unspecific chromium. Groundwater sampling results identified toluene, vinyl chloride, and 1,1-dichloroethene. Sediment sampling results identified chlordane, vinyl chloride, chromium, lead, and cobalt. Soil sampling results identified polychlorinated biphenyls and ethyl ether. Based on available information, the site is considered to be of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the possibility of human exposure to hazardous substances.
