Health Assessment for Petroleum Products Company Site, Broward County, Pembroke Park, Florida, Region 4. CERCLIS No. FLD980798698

摘要

The Petroleum Products Company was located in Pembroke Park, Broward County, Florida. In 1985, the site was converted to the Pembroke Park Mini-Warehouses, where most of the rented mini-warehouses have been converted to small industrial businesses. Surficial and intermediate groundwater at the site are contaminated with lead, chromium, aluminum, iron, manganese, and benzene. A 20-inch thick waste oil layer is floating on the surficial aquifer beneath the mini-warehouses. Surface run-off water is contaminated with lead. Surface soil and deep soil at the site and from the surrounding areas have been found to contain high levels of lead. The site is of potential public health concern because contaminants are found in off-site surficial and intermediate aquifers and in off-site surface soils. The population at risk are employees of businesses at the site and the residents who live in the nearby trailer parks. Exposure may occur through contact with waste oil that seeps up to the surface and with lead in surface soil and surface water run-off.
