BACKGROUND:
In June 2009, the County purchased the property located on Mahogany Mill Road for the purpose of constructing a public boat ramp facility.  In May 2013, during excavation of existing relic foundations, previously undetected soil contamination was discovered and was reported as per Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Rule 62-770. According to FDEP direction, the County conducted environmental assessment and delineated the extent of the contamination. During subsequent meetings with the FDEP regarding remediation, it has been determined that remediation will consist of the installation of a subsurface cap to prevent groundwater contamination. This remedy was determined to be the least intrusive to the ongoing construction schedule and the most cost effective approach.
