1.1.2 Site Description and Threat
On Wednesday, July 11, 2012, EPA received a request for assistance from FDEP for a site involving improperly stored, and leaking containers of hazardous substances. OSC Russell responded to the site on July 11 and met with FDEP representatives, the site property owner, and the PRP. The initial inspection revealed 7 covered trailers and 2 box trucks containing hazardous substances. The initial inspection revealed leaking containers of flammables, acids, and bases. Furthermore, evidence of continual trespassing by youths was observed and the PRP advised that trespassing on site is a constant issue (two residential areas are in close proximity). The PRP stated he would contract with a cleanup contractor, and scheduled a meeting for the morning of July 12.
On July 12, the PRP received a quote from SWS to complete removal activities at the site, and stated he was unable to pay for the removal activities and advised EPA that he could not perform the actions necessary. EPA issued a Notice of Federal Assumption to both the PRP and the property owner.

Approximately 3500 containers are located at the site, stored inside 7 trailers and 2 box trucks. Some of the containers are leaking and/or stored with incompatible substances. Flammables, acids, and bases are stored in the trailers and some of the containers are leaking.

2.1.1 Narrative
On July 12, the PRP received a quote from SWS, an environmental cleanup contractor, for removal activities at the site. After receiving the quote, the PRP advised the EPA that he was unable to conduct the necessary removal actions. EPA issued a Notice of Federal Assumption and both the PRP and property owner signed the notices, as well as new Access Agreements that included removal operations.
2.1.2 Response Actions to Date
START conducted a rough container inventory at the site without disturbing the storage of the containers, and collected photographic documentation of storage conditions.
ERRS has been mobilized to the site to provide site security which will include both a physical presence on site 24 hours a day as well as the installation of a perimeter fence to prevent further trespassing.
