The Harris Corporation National Priorities List (NPL) Site occupies over 500 acres in Palm Bay, Brevard County, Florida. The site consists of the Harris Corporation and the General Development Utilities, Inc. (GDU). Harris has two major operating divisions: the Semiconductor Sector and the Government Systems Sector. They provide a wide variety of electronic devices and components. GDU provides the water supply, treatment and disposal for at least 37,000 residents in Palm Bay. GDU's well field is located south of the Harris complex, adjacent to and down gradient from the Harris complex. Contaminants of concern in the surficial aquifer are: trichloroethene, 1,1-dichloroethene, t-1,2-dichloroethene, vinyl chloride, methylene chloride, chlorobenzene, tetrachloroethene, chromium, and lead. Intermediate aquifer contaminants are: trichloroethene, 1,1-dichloroethene, t-1,2-dichloroethene, vinyl chloride, and methylene chloride. 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. There is a possibility of off-site migration of contaminated ground water.
