BOOK96 P.v,i 665 Comments regarding the South Gifford Road Landfill precontamination reports by Brown and Caldwell for the Indian River County Solid Waste Disposal District: The site is 115 acres, west of 43rd Avenue, between 41st Street and 37th Streets (directly south of the 45th Street water service project). Several of the ground water samples near the landfill were found to contain chlorinated volatile organic compounds, including vinylchloride in concentrations exceeding State of Florida and Federal Drinking Water Standards. Sampling of private water supply wells in the vicinity of the site by the Indian River County Public Health Unit (a unit of the Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services (HRS) resulted in samples of two wells located north of the site showing concentrations of trichloroethylene (TCE) in excess of federal maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) and Florida Drinking Water Standards. Field analytical. data indicates that the zone where chlorinated volatile organic compounds were detected appear to be associated primarily with the northern portion ofthe landfill. The presence of precursor compounds in the ground water suggest that i...tiifted source of release may still exist within the northern portion of the landfill.
