wingate road municipal incinerator dump

1300 N. W. 34TH AVENUE

The 61-acre site is located in Fort Lauderdale in southeastern Florida. The site includes the area where the City of Fort Lauderdale operated waste incinerators, offices and a 40-acre disposal area between 1954 and 1978. During operations, the facility received 480 tons of residential wastes, commercial wastes and incinerator residues per day. The City discharged cooling water from the incinerator into an unlined pond in the southeastern corner of the site. The City also spread ash and water material on the ground in the disposal area. In 1989, EPA listed the site on the NPL. The site is currently vacant and available for reuse. Residential areas and vacant lots surround the site to the north, east and south. A commercial business borders the site to the north and a road borders the site to the west. Rock Pit Lake borders the northeastern area of the site.
