Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7110503

The Peak Oil National Priorities List (NPL) site is located south of the Reeves Southeast NPL site and east of the Bay Drum NPL site. Peak Oil facility operations involved the use of a re-refining process to purify used oils and lubrication fluids. The contaminants of concern in the surficial aquifer are: barium, benzene, cadmium, copper, chlorobenzene, chromium, 1,1-dichloroethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1-dichloroethene, 2,4-dimethylphenol, lead, mercury, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, methyl isopropyl ketone, nickel, PCB, tetrachloroethene, toluene, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trichloroethene, waste oil, and xylenes. Soils/sludge on-site contaminants are: Arsenic, lead, and PCBs. Surface water off-site contaminants are: lead, oil and grease, strontium, and zinc. The site is considered to be of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by exposure to hazardous substances via surface water runoff and percolation of contaminants into the Floridian aquifer.
