Superfund Record of Decision (EPA region 4): Kassouf-Kimerling Battery site, Tampa, Hillsborough County, FL. (Second remedial action), March 1990. Final report
The Kassouf-Dimerling Battery Disposal site, formerly known as the Timber Lake Battery Disposal site and the 58th Street Landfill, is in Tampa, Hillsborough County, Florida within a 100-year floodplain area. The site consists of a 42,000 square foot landfill area with an estimated landfill volume of 11,350 cubic yards. Surface water flows from the west marsh to the east marsh by way of a canal which cuts through the site, connects the marsh areas, and eventually discharges into the Palm River. In 1978, empty battery casings were deposited in previously excavated onsite areas. The first Operable Unit Record of Decision (ROD) addressed remediation of landfill wastes and contaminated underlying soil. The ROD addresses contamination of wetlands adjacent to the landfill. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the sediment and surface water are metals including arsenic, chromium, and lead.
