Superfund record of decision (EPA Region 4): Stauffer Chemical Company, Hillsborough County, Tampa, FL, December 1, 1995

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:241309

This decision document (Record of Decision), presents the selected remedial action for the Stauffer Management Company Superfund Site, Tampa, Hillsborough County, Florida. This action addresses soil, sediment, and ground water contamination at the Site and calls for the implementation of response measures which will protect human health and the environment. The selected remedy includes ex situ anaerobic treatment (i.e., bioremediation) of pesticide contaminated surface soils and sediments to levels appropriate for future industrial use of the Site. In addition, the selected remedy includes ground water recovery and treatment with activated carbon to remove pesticides. Since bioremediation is an innovative treatment technology for pesticide removal, ex situ thermal treatment of contaminated soils/sediments is being proposed as a contingency remedy in the event that bioremediation cannot be implemented.
