11100 NW S RIVER DR

The 25-acre site is located near the eastern border of Medley, Florida, approximately 10 miles northwest of Miami and southwest of the Miami Canal. Commercial and industrial areas surround the site, including dock-level warehouses and a storage facility for stackable containers used in the overseas shipping industry. From the mid-1960s to the mid-1980s, a variety of industrial businesses operated at the site. Their operations left behind trash and waste products, including rusted machinery, vehicles, aircraft, oil tanks, transformers, underground storage tanks and batteries. Site activities also included the recycling of electrical transformers, which resulted in the dumping of waste oil on the ground. In 1984, EPA listed the site on the NPL. In 2005, a trucking and transportation company purchased a 5-acre area of the site as a commercial truck storage area. A pre-cast concrete products company uses the central 10-acre area of the site for its manufacturing operations. The remaining 10-acre area of the site has been leased as a warehouse and storage area.
