Florida Superfund Sites Resident Advocacy

The Story, the Fight, and the Accountability of Superfund Sites in Florida

A research paper detailing the histories of four Superfund Sites in Florida:

Tarpon Springs - Residents endured decades of toxic air, water, and soil from a plant operated by Stauffer Chemical Company.

Pensacola - Labeled “Mount Dioxin” due to pollution from the Agrico Chemical Company and the Escambia Wood Treating Company (ETC).

Tallevast - The chemicals produced by the American Beryllium Company seeped into a historically black community’s groundwater supply and went unnoticed for decades.

Ocala - The Royal Oak Charcoal factory caused prolonged suffering as residents labored through their daily lives in the soot-filled air.
