Public-health assessment for Florida Steel Corporation, Indiantown, Martin County, Florida, Region 4. CERCLIS No. FLD050432251. Final report
The Florida Steel Corporation site is located approximately 2 miles northwest of Indiantown in Martin County, Florida. Florida Steel Corporation operated a steel mill at this site from 1970 to 1982. The area around this site is sparsely populated swamp and brushland zoned for industrial use. Mill wastes included cooling water contaminated with heavy metals and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and steel mill by-products (slag, mill scale, and emission control dust) containing heavy metals. Potential exposure pathways for on-site workers include inhalation of contaminated dust, incidental ingestion of contaminated soil, and dermal contact with contaminated soil and ground water. This site is a public health hazard. If this site is not remediated, exposures to metals and PCBs in soil and ground water may occur at concentrations that, upon long-term exposure, could cause adverse health effects.
