摘要

Two large buildings and expansive parking lots occupy the northern and southernportions of the former Solitron Devices 8.65-acre site at 1177 Blue Heron Boulevard, Riviera Beach Palm Beach County, Florida. Electronics were manufactured in both buildings between 1960 and 1992. The highly acid waste stream from the northern building corroded on-site plumbing, holding tanks and portions of the city sewer, releasing solvents and metals to the soil and groundwater. In shallow groundwater, the released chemicals moved away from the drainage canal north of the site. In deeper groundwater (75' and greater below the land surface), the released chemicals moved toward on-site production wells and municipal supply wells to the northeast and west. The Florida Department of Health (DOH) is not aware of any workers or residents currently exposed to site-related contaminants.
