Site Background: EPA completed a comprehensive investigation (Remedial Investigation (RI))) of the facility in 1998 and documented an extensive groundwater contamination emanating from the FPR facility. The RI documented a plume of groundwater contamination over 600 acres in size, extending into the Biscayne aquifer to a depth over 140-feet. The RI also documented high levels of contaminated soil and residual amounts on highly concentrated non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPL) at the facility. The RI also documented a pathway whereby these contaminants are believed to have migrated and resulted in the contamination of the Peele-Dixie Wellfield in 1986. An engineering study (Feasibility Study (FS)) was also completed in 1998. During this study, EPA evaluated multiple approaches for the cleanup of the Site. EPA felt that it was critical that any cleanup approach address 1) the contaminated soil and residual NAPL that pose an ongoing source of groundwater contamination; 2) the large plume of groundwater contamination; and 3) the Peele-Dixie Wellfield. A ROD was issued in March 2001 that selected a remedy designed to protect the Peele-Dixie wellfield from additional contaminants from the FPR facility and to address contaminated groundwater at the facility and aqueous plume. As discussed below, source areas identified in the RI are being addressed through removal actions. Consent Decree negotiations for the Remedial Design and Remedial Action were initiated in June 2001 with a group of larger-volume generators Cleanup Progress: Removals Underway Rehabilitation of the groundwater treatment and monitoring was completed in April 2007. Implementation of an enhanced bioaugmentation system was started in August 2007 in an effort to compete the treatment of groundwater contaminants at the FPR property. The Remedial Design was approved in September 2007 which provides for the long-term monitored natural attenuation of the aqueous groundwater plume that resulted from the migration of contaminants from the facility. Although the ROD provides for the pumping and treating of contaminated groundwater, the effectiveness of the site cleanup thus far suggests that the pumping and treating of groundwater may not be needed. After a period of monitoring a determination will be made whether or not monitored natural attenuation will be adequate for the completion of the groundwater cleanup.
