Superfund Record of Decision (EPA Region 4): Zellwood Groundwater Contamination site, (Operable Unit 1), Orange County, Zellwood, FL. (First remedial action), (Amendment), March 1990

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5267641

The 57-acre Zellwood Groundwater Contamination site is approximately 1/2-mile west of the town of Zellwood in Orange County, Florida. The site is situated in a rural area, and approximately 300 homes located within one mile of the site depend on private wells for their potable water supply. In 1982, EPA identified an abandoned drum storage area by a 6-acre field at the northern part of the site, which was apparently used for the disposal of drums and other wastes. Site investigations by EPA from 1988 to 1990 identified contamination in the soil, sediment, and ground water at the site. The Record of Decision (ROD) addresses remediation of onsite source areas. Ground water remediation will be addressed in a subsequent ROD. The primary contaminants of concern affecting the soil and sediment are VOCs including toluene and xylenes; other organics including PAHs and pesticides; and metals including lead and chromium.
