Health assessment for Varsol Spill, Miami, Florida, Region 4. CERCLIS No. FLD980602346. Final report

Technical Report · Thu Mar 16 04:00:00 EST 1989

OSTI ID:7169225

The Varsol Spill Site is located in Miami, Dade County, Florida. The site is located at the Miami International Airport. Although the varsol-like contaminant from the spill can no longer be identified in the groundwater, it is believed that the contamination from the spill has contributed to the regional volatile organic compound (VOC) groundwater contamination present in the Biscayne Aquifer. The Record of Decision for the Varsol site, signed March 1985, mandated a no action alternative. However, a study of the Biscayne Aquifer (which included Varsol), conducted to determine the extent of the regional VOC contamination, recommended air stripping towers to remove the contamination present in the groundwater. The project for the Biscayne Aquifer is currently in the design phase.
