Description: This dataset contains Superfund/National Priority List (NPL) waste cleanup sites in the State of Florida. Superfund sites are hazardous waste cleanup sites that have been designated under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA). Superfund is the environmental program established to address these abandoned hazardous waste sites. The federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administers the Superfund Program in cooperation with the individual States and tribal governments. Responsible parties may clean up the Superfund site under an agreement with EPA; or EPA may clean up the site under a cost-share agreement using federal and state funds. State funding for cost-share agreements on Superfund sites comes from the Water Quality Assurance Trust Fund. Complete information on the federal Superfund Program and individual Florida Superfund sites is available on the EPA Superfund Website.
Description: These drycleaning sites are eligible for a state funded program (Drycleaning Solvent Cleanup Program) to cleanup properties that are contaminated as a result of the operations of a drycleaning facility or a wholesale supply company (Chapter 376, Florida Statutes). A fund has been established to pay for the costs related to the cleanup of these properties. Drycleaners applied to participate in this program from 1995 (when the law was passed) to December 31, 1998. All sites have confirmed contamination above Contamination Target Levels and have complied with conditions set in the law.

Name: FDEP State funded Hazardous Waste Cleanup Sites
Display Field: NAME
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPoint
Description: The State-Funded cleanup program is designed to address sites where there are no viable responsible parties; the site poses an imminent hazard; and, the site does not qualify for Superfund or is a low priority for EPA. Remediation efforts are triggered when a Florida Dept. of Environmental Protection District Office requests adoption of a site for state-funded cleanup. Funding for these remedial efforts comes from the Water Quality Assurance Trust Fund. Remedial activity may include contamination assessments, risk assessments, feasibility studies, design and construction of treatment systems, operation and maintenance of the installed treatment systems, and removal of contaminated media when necessary.
Description: The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is committed to the protection of the groundwater resources of the state and the public health and safety of our residents. As part of these efforts, DEP’s Division of Waste Management routinely investigates sites where there is known or suspected soil and groundwater contamination statewide.The Division of Waste Management has begun investigations to determine potential sources and environmental impacts related to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). PFAS are a large class of complex man-made chemicals that have been used in a wide range of consumer and industrial products. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) are part of the larger group of PFAS chemicals. While no longer manufactured in the United States, PFOA and PFOS were extensively used and manufactured since the 1940’s. Common uses of PFAS included, stain and water repellents used in textile manufacturing, paper products, food packaging, and cookware. PFAS has also been used in numerous industrial processes, and in the formulation of fire suppressant foams. PFAS are stable chemicals that do not naturally degrade. When released to the environment, PFAS can cause contamination to soil, groundwater, and surface water and these impacts may pose a risk to public health and the environment.DEP will continue its efforts to investigate and understand PFAS in the environment and the ecological and human health risks associated with PFAS contamination. This web page will be dedicated to making PFAS information readily available and accessible to the public regarding DEP’s efforts. DEP is committed to providing timely information to the public regarding these efforts.The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is committed to the protection of the groundwater resources of the state and the public health and safety of our residents.

Name: FDEP Environmental Restoration Integrated Cleanup (ERIC) Site Activities
Display Field: SITE_NAME
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPoint
Description: ERIC (Environmental Restoration Integrated Cleanup) is a single database for tracking all of the contaminated site cleanup activities in the Division of Waste Management (DWM). It was developed to bring together 11 different data systems to a single location that would allow tracking of a contaminated site throughout the course of cleanup regardless of which program area took the lead. This layer replaces previous FGDL layers wcu_open, wcu_closed, and wcu_inactive.
Description: The Mandatory Phosphate Mine Boundaries layer contains the conceptual boundaries of all active mandatory phosphate mines within the State of Florida by the end of 2016. 'Mandatory Phosphate Mines' does not indicate that the area is required to be mined for phosphate; 'Mandatory' refers to the regulatory status of the land. Land mined for phosphate since July 1, 1975 is 'Mandatory,' and is required by Florida law to be reclaimed (contoured and re-vegetated). Land mined prior to July 1, 1975 was not required to be reclaimed. This layer provides the mine boundary for mines that are subject to the regulatory requirements of Chapter 378, Part III, F.S. and/or Chapter 373, Part IV. F.S. and Chapter 62C-16, F.A.C. Mandatory phosphate mining occurs primarily in the central Florida phosphate mining district in Polk, Hillsborough, Manatee, and Hardee counties and one mine in North Florida in Hamilton County. This layer was designed to provide the Mining and Mitigation Program with a graphical representation of the Mandatory Phosphate boundaries for planning and management purposes. Because this data is a work in progress, it may contain errors such as missing features, outdated features, overlapping features, erroneous status of features, variations in accuracy, or attribute errors. This layer was created and maintained by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Program Support.
Description: INSTITUTIONAL CONTROL REGISTRY (ICR) An institutional control site is a site that has certain restrictions on the property. For example, a site may be cleaned up to satisfy commercial contamination target levels. An institutional control may be placed on that property indicating that it may only be used for commercial levels. If the owner of the property ever wants to use that property for residential purposes, the owner will have to ensure that the contamination meets residential target levels.
Description: This data set contains Brownfield Boundaries. Brownfields are defined by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) as abandoned, idled, or underused industrial and commercial facilities where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by real or perceived environmental contamination. The primary goals of Florida's Brownfields Redevelopment Act (Ch. 97-277, Laws of Florida, codified at ss. 376.77-.85, F.S.) are to reduce health and environmental hazards on existing commercial and industrial sites that are abandoned or underused due to these hazards and create financial and regulatory incentives to encourage redevelopment and voluntary cleanup of contaminated properties. A 'brownfield area' means a contiguous area of one or more brownfield sites, some of which may not be contaminated, that has been designated as such by a local government resolution. Such areas may include all or portions of community redevelopment areas, enterprise zones, empowerment zones, other such designated economically deprived communities and areas, and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designated brownfield pilot projects. This layer provides a polygon representation of the boundaries of these designated Brownfield Areas in Florida.
Description: A Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System or MS4 is defined in Rule 62-624.200(8), F.A.C., as follows: Municipal separate storm sewer or MS4 means a conveyance or system of conveyances like roads with stormwater systems, municipal streets, catch basins, curbs, gutters, ditches, constructed channels, or storm drains: Owned or operated by a State, city, town, county, special district, association, or other public body (created by or pursuant to State Law) having jurisdiction over management and discharge of stormwater, or an Indian tribe or an authorized Indian tribal organization, that discharges to waters of the state; Designed or used for collecting or conveying stormwater; Which is not a combined sewer; and Which is not part of a Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW). POTW means any device or system used in the treatment of municipal sewage or industrial wastes of a liquid nature which is owned by a "State" or "municipality." This definition includes sewers, pipes, or other conveyances only if they convey wastewater to a POTW providing treatment.
