Public-health assessment for Sydney Mine Sludge Pond, Valrico, Hillsborough County, Florida, Region 4, CERCLIS No. FLD000648055. Preliminary report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7224874
The Sydney Mine National Priorities List (NPL) site is located approximately 3 miles east of Brandon, Florida. Hillsborough County leased a portion of the former phosphate strip mine for disposal of septic wastes, waste automotive oils, grease trap wastes and manufacturing cutting oils. Site cleanup began in 1984. Based on the available information, this site is considered to be an Indeterminate Public Health Hazard because insufficient data are available to determine the potential for current or future human exposure. Because current access to this area is restricted and future residential use of the area is unlikely, off-site migration of solvents in groundwater, or via groundwater that recharges surface water, are the most likely potential sources of human exposure to site-related contaminants.
