4109 LINEBAUGH AVENUE

The 1-acre site is located in North Tampa, Hillsborough County, Florida. Mixed land uses surround the site, including a gas station to the east, a tire and rim shop and a condominium complex to the west, and a coffee distribution center to the north. West Linebaugh Avenue is located along the southern border of the site. The site is the former location of a facility that distributed dry cleaning solvents, including tetrachloroethylene (also known as PCE or PERC) and trichloroethylene (TCE), to the local dry cleaning industry. The facility operated from the late 1970s to 1985 and resumed operations for a brief period from 1985 to 1989. PCE and TCE were reportedly stored in above-ground tanks and small tanker trucks on a concrete slab and on the northern portion of the site. Periodic spills from these storage tanks may be the source of soil and ground water contamination at the site. A former tenant who signed a Prospective Purchaser Agreement with EPA when acquiring the property currently owns the site. The owner operates a painting business in a single-story building on the site. In 2000, EPA listed the site on the NPL.
