ANCLOTE BOULEVARD

The 7-acre site is located in a commercial and industrial area of Hialeah, Dade County, Florida. The area surrounding the site includes industrial properties and businesses. A railroad borders the site to the west; to the north, a furniture company, which the site boundary now includes; to the east, an automobile storage area; and to the south, a tile company. From 1959 until 1972, Standard Auto Bumper Corporation discharged wastewater into a ditch behind its facility. Between 1972 and 1979, the company treated the wastewater and discharged it into a percolation pit. Miami-Dade County found contamination at the site in 1977. In 1989, EPA listed the site on the NPL. Standard Auto Bumper Corporation abandoned the site property in December 1992. In 1993 and 1994, EPA removed buildings formerly used for electroplating operations from a 1-acre area at the site. In 2005, a roofing company purchased the parcel as a storage area for vehicles and supplies. A bakery and a furniture company are located on the 5-acre and 1-acre properties, respectively, that became part of the site after EPA expanded the original site boundary.
