Why We Did This Review
The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, Office of
Inspector General, conducts site
visits of American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009
(Recovery Act) funded projects.
The purpose of the visits is to
confirm compliance with selected
Recovery Act requirements. We
selected the Tower Chemical
Superfund project in Clermont,
Lake County, Florida, for review.
Background
EPA awarded a fixed price
contract under the Recovery Act to
Polu Kai Services, LLC, to clean
up contaminated soils at the Tower
Chemical Superfund Site. This
remedial action consisted of
excavating, transporting, and
disposing of soils contaminated
with pesticides and other
composites, and restoring the
excavated areas. The value of the
contract was $4,197,177.

Site Visit of the Tower Chemicai Superfund
Site, Clermont, Lake County, Florida
What We Found
We conducted an unannounced visit at the Tower Chemical Superfund site in
Clermont, Lake County, Florida, on July 12-13, 2010. We toured the project
site, interviewed contractor and subcontractor personnel, and reviewed
documentation related to Recovery Act requirements. We also visited the
contractor's office in Virginia and EPA Region 4 to interview personnel and
review files.
Based upon our site visit, we did not identify any issues that would require
action from Polu Kai Services, LLC, or the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency.
