Health assessment for Sydney Mine, Hillsborough County, Brandon, Florida, Region 4. CERCLIS No. FLD000648055. Preliminary report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6984401
The Sydney Mine National Priorities List Site is a former disposal site located in Brandon, Florida. The area was strip-mined for phosphate rock from the 1930s through the 1950s. In late 1973, Hillsborough County leased a portion of the Sydney Mine site from American Cynamid and constructed a sludge disposal pond. The pond received wastes from grease traps, septage waste, and waste oil. Contaminants of concern at the site consist of the following: cadmium, benzene, 1,1-dichloroethane, 1,1-dichloroethene, t-1,2-dichloroethene, toluene, trichloroethene, and xylene. Based on the 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 exposure to hazardous substances at concentrations that may result in adverse health effects.
