This report provides an update on the remedial efforts at the Former Spellman Engineering Site, focusing on groundwater contamination issues and cleanup strategies. Key findings include no actual human exposure to contaminated groundwater and potential threats to nearby municipal supply wells. A combination of engineered remedies, including ISCO and bioremediation, is outlined for addressing TCE concentrations. Community partnerships and funding options for the cleanup are emphasized to expedite redevelopment while ensuring environmental safety and compliance.

Background RI/FS (cont.) Conceptual Site Model Vertical Distribution of TCE Contamination in Ground Water
Background - RI/FS (cont.)Key Findings • No actual human exposure to contaminated ground water is occurring • The ground water plume underlies approximately 40-acres • Migration to the Floridan aquifer potentially threatens nearby municipal supply wells • Contamination can be addressed through an engineered remedy
Cleanup ApproachSource and Highly Impacted Areas • Surfactant enhanced in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) of source area (TCE concentrations >100,000 ug/L, darkest area on map) • ISCO of highly impacted zone (TCE concentrations between 10,000 and 100,000 ug/L, adjacent to darkest area on map)
Cleanup ApproachDilute Ground Water Plume • Enhanced in situ bioremediation of groundwater with TCE concentrations >2,000 ug/L • Partial enhanced in situ bioremediation of groundwater with TCE concentrations >300 ug/L ISCO (TCE >10,000 ug/L)
Cleanup ApproachPost-Active Treatment • Natural attenuation monitoring until cleanup goals are met • TCE: 3 ug/L • DCE: 70 ug/L • VC: 1 ug/L • Five-year reviews of remedy until cleanup goals are met • Attains Unrestricted Use/Unlimited Exposure Criteria
Former Spellman EngineeringRemedial Design/Remedial Action • ROD signed September 23, 2004 • Remedial Design • Start in October 2004 • Treatability Studies to refine remedial technologies • Remedial Action - Funding Options • NPL Listing and Superfund financing based on site prioritization (risk-based) • Third-party cleanup
Remedial Action Funding • City of Orlando and the local community indicated a strong preference for third-party cleanup using a property divestiture, cleanup, and redevelopment approach. • Keep properties off the National Priorities List • Expected to reach cleanup faster • EPA supported this approach. • Superfund Redevelopment Initiative • 2002 Amendments to CERCLA
Lake Highland Cleanup Program Elements • Region 4 - Bona Fide Prospective Purchaser Agreement (BFPP) • Prospective Purchaser to Perform Cleanup under EPA oversight. • Release of any EPA Liens • FDEP - Brownfield Site Rehabilitation Agreement (BSRA) • Cleanup Liability Protection • Lender Liability Protection • Voluntary Cleanup Tax Credit (VCTC) • Deduct up to $500,000 per year • 25% bonus for Site Rehabilitation Completion • Credits are transferable
