Public health assessment for MRI Corporation, Tampa, Hillsborough County, Florida, Region 4. CERCLIS Number FLD088787585

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:658798
MRI site in Tampa, Florida, was proposed to the National Priorities List (NPL) on June 14, 1996 and listed on the NPL December 23, 1996. It was a chemical detinning plant, between 1979 and 1986, located in a sparsely populated industrial area of east Tampa. This public health assessment evaluates the potential for health effects from exposure to on-site soils, sediment, and groundwater. Off-site contamination was not addressed due to lack of data. Since public access is restricted by a fence and undeveloped land surrounding the site, contact with on-site soils is an incomplete exposure pathway. The area around the site is mostly undeveloped or industrial; therefore, public access to contaminated sediments are minimal. Groundwater at the site is contaminated with cyanide and lead, but currently on one is drinking the groundwater at the site.
