Pathways, Components, or Threats Not Scored

The surface water migration, soil exposure, and air migration pathways were not scored in this Hazard
Ranking System (HRS) documentation record because they are not expected to significantly contribute to
the overall site score.

Surface Water Migration Pathway: Between 1988 and 2005, surface water and sediment samples have
been collected from the drainage channel (unnamed ditch) located between the General Dynamics
property and the Sprague Electric Company (SEC) property, as well as Soldier Creek located downstream
of the drainage ditch. Surface water and/or sediment samples collected from the drainage ditch contained
trichloroethylene (TCE) and 1,1-dichloroethylene (DCE). No constituents were detected in the surface
water and sediment sample collected from Soldier Creek (Ref. 8, Tables 4-1 and 4-2, Figure 2-2).

Surface water runoff from the General Dynamics property drains into the east-west trending drainage
ditch on the northern boundary of the SEC property. The ditch then flows about 0.5 mile east and
northeast, where it discharges into Soldier Creek. Soldier Creek flows about 1.7 miles southeast into
Lake Jesup which ultimately drains into the St. Johns River (Ref. 8, p. 3-1, Figure 2-2).

Soil Exposure and Air Migration Pathways: Site-related contaminants have not been detected in
surface soil samples collected from 0 to 2 feet below land surface (Refs. 8, pp. 4-11, 4-12; 10, pp. 24, 25;
46, Table 1, Figure 1; 49, Figure 3; 65; 77, p. 15; 89). Residential areas are located in the vicinity of the
General Dynamics property (Refs. 10, p. 18; 11). Air and residential surface soil contamination has not
been documented (Refs. 8, pp. 4-11, 4-12; 10, pp. 24, 25; 46, Table 1, Figure 1; 49, Figure 3; 65). As of
June 2007, five people work at the Gould (referred to as General Dynamics in this HRS documentation
record) property (Ref. 10, p. 35). The property consists of three buildings, paved parking and unpaved
grass areas (Ref. 10, pp. 35, 51). The population within one mile is about 5,353 people (Ref. 14, pp. 1, 4).
No air samples were collected at the General Dynamics property during the site inspection (Ref. 10, p.
37). The residential population within 4 radial miles of the property is about 94,432 people (Ref. 14, pp.

1,7).

Street Address of Site*:	1333 North US Highway 17/92

City, County, State, Zip: Longwood, Seminole County, Florida, 32750

General Location in the State: Central portion of state, along the eastern coast

Topographic Map:

The coordinates above for General Dynamics were measured at the southeastern corner of Building 3
(Refs. 8, Figure 1-2; 13).

* The street address, coordinates, and contaminant locations presented in this HRS documentation
record identify the general area in which the site is located. They represent one or more locations EPA
considers to be part of the site based on the screening information EPA used to evaluate the site for NPL
listing. EPA lists its national priorities among the known "releases or threatened releases" of hazardous
substances; thus, the focus is on the release, not precisely delineated boundaries. A site is defined where
a hazardous substance has been "deposited, stored, placed, or otherwise come to be located." Generally,
HRS scoring and the subsequent listing of a release represent the initial determination that a certain area
may need to be addressed under CERCLA. Accordingly, EPA contemplates that the preliminary
description of facility boundaries at the time of scoring will be defined as more information is developed
as to where the contamination has come to be located.

SITE DESCRIPTION

The General Dynamics Longwood site consists of a contaminated soil source on the eastern portion of the
General Dynamics property (Source No. 2) and a release of a hazardous substance (1,1-DCE) to ground
water (see Figures 2 and 3 of this HRS documentation record). A significant increase of 1,1-DCE has
been documented underlying and downgradient of the contaminated soil source (Source No. 2) at the site
(see Section 3.1.1 Observed Release of this HRS documentation record).

The General Dynamics Longwood site is located within the General Dynamics property (also known as
the Gould property) (Ref. 10, p. 3) (see Figures 2 and 3 of this HRS documentation record). The General
Dynamics property is located at 1333 North US Highway 17/92 in Longwood, Seminole County, Florida
(Ref. 12, pp. 5, 6) (see Figure 1 of this Hazard Ranking System [HRS] documentation record). More
specifically, the geographic coordinates as measured from the southeastern corner of Building 3 are
latitude 28.71662° north and longitude -81.32122° west (Refs. 3; 13). The General Dynamics property
consists of four parcels covering an area of about 10.42 acres (Refs. 15, pp. 1 through 9; 19, p. 1 through
5; 20). Located on the eastern portion of this property is the scored source (Source No. 2). The western
part of this property contains what was originally established as Source 1, and is part of the Sprauge
Electric Company (SEC) Superfund Alternative Approach (SAA) site (see Figure 3 of this HRS
documentation record).

Land uses surrounding the property are predominately vacant, residential, industrial, and mixed
commercial (Refs. 10, pp. 49, 50; 11; 15, pp. 10 through 19; 26, p. 2). The General Dynamics property is
bounded by vacant land to the north, Sprague Electric Company (SEC) to the south, vacant commercial
land to the east, and Highway 17-92 to the west (Ref. 15, pp. 10 through 19). The neighboring SEC
property is about 12-acres and contains office and production buildings that contain capacitor
manufacturing and assembly areas and a machine shop; a loading dock; storage areas; a fire protection
well; septic tanks and associated drain fields; a retention pond, and one side of a drainage ditch located
along the northern property boundary (Ref. 26, pp. 2, 3). A day care center is located to the east and
adjacent to SEC (Ref. 21, p. 23).

The General Dynamics property consists mostly of paved parking and unpaved grass areas. Access to the
back of the property is restricted by a locked chain link fence (Ref. 10, p. 35). Structures on the General
Dynamics property include three large manufacture buildings (Building Nos. 1, 2, and 3) among smaller
buildings (Refs. 3; 10, p. 51; 16, pp. 9 through 13, Exhibit 1) (see Figure 2 of this HRS documentation
record). Building Nos. 1, 2, and 3 were built at separate times between 1959 and 1965 (Refs. 3; 47, p. 4).
Building 1 contained the lobby, plant manager's office, and personnel (Refs. 3; 16, p. 12, Exhibit 1).
Building 2 contained an engineering drafting and test area (Refs. 3; 16, p. 11, Exhibit 1). Building 3
contained the manufacturing area, PC soldering, storage area, and a vapor degreaser (Refs. 3; 16, pp. 9,
10, 11, 14, 15, Exhibit 1). A building which contained a maintenance shop is located to the northeast of
Building 1 (Refs. 3; 10, p. 51). A shed was located to the east of Building 3 which held 55 gallon
containers of TCE (Ref. 17, pp. 18, 26, Exhibit 1). Painting and plating occurred east of Building 1 (Ref.

3).

From about 1961 to December 1979, the General Dynamics facility (and its predecessors) operated on a
larger parcel of land. In December 1979, SEC acquired a strip of east-west trending land to the south and
a rectangular portion to the east (Ref. 8, p. 1-5, Figure 1-2).

-------
OPERATIONAL AND REGULATORY HISTORY

Limited information exists on the operational history at General Dynamics. According to depositions of
former General Dynamics' employees, General Dynamics (and its predecessors) manufactured printed
circuit boards (Ref. 16, pp. 6, 7).

Tenets at the General Dynamics property included Dynatronics (1959 to 1965); General Dynamics Corp.
(1966 to 1978); Stromberg-Carlson, a subsidiary of General Dynamics Corp. (1979 to 1982); General
Dynamics Land Systems, a subsidiary of General Dynamics Corp. (1983); Lexar Corporation and United
Technologies Comm. Co. (1984 to 1985); and Lexar Corporation, UTCC, and Telex Computer Products
(1986 to 1988). Gould Publications purchased the property in 1993 (Ref. 18). Gould Publications
conducted printing and publication operations and, as of 2007, conducts wholesaling and warehouse
activities (Ref. 10, p. 3).

General Dynamics manufactured printed circuit boards (Refs. 16, pp. 6, 7; 41, p. 5). Printed circuit
boards are metal clad dielectrics with conductors imprinted onto one or both sides of the board. The
general assembly process of the printed circuit boards includes placing electrical components on the
boards, the boards are then fluxed and components are affixed and soldered to the boards. General
contaminants include: water insoluble or oily materials; water soluble materials including rosin flux
activators, sodium chloride, and plating and etching salts; and particulates, such as dust, and machining,
drilling, and punching fragments. A cleaning process is needed to remove residues from the board.
Chemicals used in the cleaning process include chlorinated solvents such as trichloroethylene (TCE),
1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA), perchloroethylene (PCE), and l,l,2-trichloro-l,2,2-trifluorethane, as well as
various non-chlorinated solvents, such as acetone and alcohol (Refs. 42, p. II-9; 43, p. 5). According to a
previous employee at General Dynamics, the manufacture of printed circuit boards included the use of a
liquid resist (KPR). The panels would be placed in a copper roller coder material that would deposit a
photo resist on to the boards. The boards would then be baked for several minutes followed by exposure
to ultraviolet light. The boards were then placed in a degreaser (Ref. 41, p. 9). The vapor degreaser was
about 4 feet wide by 4 feet deep by 5 feet high. The chemical used in the vapor degreaser was TCE (Ref.
41, pp. 10, 11). About 25 to 30 gallons of TCE were placed into the vapor degreaser a couple times a
week (Ref. 41, pp. 11, 12, 13). TCE was stored in 55-gallon drums in a shed located to the east of
Building 3 (Ref. 17, pp. 18, 26, Exhibit 1) (see Figure 2 of this HRS documentation record). At an
unspecified time, TCE was stored in an above ground storage tank (AST) located outside Building 3 near
the vapor degreaser (Ref. 88, pp. 10, 11, 14, 15) (see Figure 2 in this HRS documentation record).
Additional vapor degreasers were located throughout the facility; however, the location of all the
degreasers, as well as the solvents used in them, are unknown (Ref. 41, p. 8). Also, an underground
storage tank is located near Source No. 2 (Ref. 8, pp. 1-4, 2-2, Figure 1-2)

According to Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) personnel, no regulatory file
information exists concerning operations at the General Dynamics property (Ref. 44, p. 1). However, a
hazardous waste compliance inspection was conducted by FDEP in 2003 (Ref. 45, p. 2). Waste found on
the property included acetic acid, ammonium thiosulfate, silver chloride, benzyl alcohol, paint, and ink,
among others (Ref. 45, pp. 2, 6 through 13).

The adjacent SEC facility manufactured film capacitors on the property from 1959 to 1992. From
approximately 1959 to December 1964, a portion of the SEC property was owned by Dearborn
Electronics of Delaware, Inc. (Dearborn). Both SEC and Dearborn manufactured film capacitors at the
SEC property. Film capacitors were assembled, soldered, impregnated with wax mineral oil or silicon oil
in a pressurized chamber, and then cleaned in a vapor degreaser (Ref. 26, p. 3). The chemicals TCA and
TCE were used as cleaning agents in the vapor degreaser (Ref. 8, p. 1-5).

The breakdown products of TCE include 1,1-dichloroethylene (DCE), cis-l,2-DCE, trans-1,2-DCE, and
vinyl chloride. The breakdown products of PCE include TCE, 1,1-DCE, cis-l,2-DCE, trans-1,2-DCE,
and vinyl chloride (Ref. 52, p. 24). The breakdown products of 1,1,1-TCA include 1,1-DCE (Ref. 52, p.

16


-------
B4-63). Deposition testimony of former General Dynamics employees indicates that TCE and 1,1,1-TCA
(referred to in the testimony as "1,1,1-Tric") were used at the General Dynamics facility (Ref. 41, pp. 9
through 13; 88, pp. 7, 8). Solvents such as TCE, PCE, and 1,1,1-TCA are commonly used in printed
circuit board manufacturing processes for metal cleaning and vapor degreasing (Refs. 43, p. 5; 53, p.
177). 1,1-DCE has been detected in the contaminated soil source and in ground water underlying and
downgradient of the source (see sections 2.2.2 Hazardous Substances Associated with the Source and
3.1.1 Observed Release of this HRS documentation record).

PREVIOUS INVESTIGATIONS

The majority of investigations which include the General Dynamics property have been performed in
conjunction with the SEC property. As a result of contaminant delineation efforts, many of the sampling
investigations have included the General Dynamics property (Ref. 8, pp. 4-4 through 4-15).

As a result of a former employee's allegation that SEC disposed solvents into the septic system located on
the SEC property, FDEP's (then known as Florida Department of Environmental Regulation, henceforth
referred to as FDEP) Operations Response Team conducted a preliminary ground water investigation at
SEC in July and October 1984. Six shallow sandpoint well ground water samples were collected and
analyzed for volatile organic compounds (VOC) (Ref. 22, pp. 3, 6; 26, p. 3). No VOCs were detected in
an upgradient designated background sample. One or more of the following compounds were detected in
the downgradient sandpoint wells: chloroethane, 1,1-dichloroethane (DCA), 1,1-DCE, 1,2-DCE, 1,1,1-
TCA, and TCE (Ref. 22, p. 9).

In October 1985, E.C. Jordan conducted a preliminary assessment (PA) on behalf of FDEP. The PA
noted that FDEP had issued a Warning Notice to SEC on January 11, 1985, regarding the high
concentration of TCE, 1,1-DCE, and TCE in the ground water underlying the SEC property. During a
windshield survey conducted on August 22, 1985, effluent was seen flowing from a polyvinyl chloride
(PVC) pipe into the drainage ditch located on the SEC property. It was recommended that the facility be
inspected to ensure that illegal discharges to the septic system were no longer occurring and to sample the
discharge to the ditch to ensure that it was not negatively impacting surface water quality (Ref. 23, pp. 1,

2).

FDEP issued a consent order (CO) on January 9, 1986 (Ref. 24, Appendix A, p. 1). On February 10,
1986, SEC submitted a preliminary contamination assessment plan (PCAP) to FDEP; the plan was
approved by FDEP on April 23, 1986 (Ref. 24, Appendix A, p. 2). During the PCAP review period, SEC
located an underground storage tank (UST) on the southern portion of the property, and analyzed its
contents (Ref. 25, p. 1, Figure 1). The UST contained the following VOCs: 1,1-DCA; 1,1-DCE; 1,1,1-
TCA; and TCE (Ref. 25, pp. 11, B-l). In May 1986, sixteen ground water samples were collected on the
SEC property. The following hazardous substances were detected in the ground water samples collected:
1,1-DCA; 1,1-DCE; cis-1,2-DCE; methylene chloride; PCE; 1,1,1-TCA; and TCE (Ref. 25, pp. 3, 4, 10).
The greatest concentrations of total VOCs, 6,617 milligrams per liter (mg/L), were detected in the north
central portion of the SEC property. No samples were collected on the General Dynamics property (Ref.
25, pp. 9, 10). The UST and underlying contaminated soil (from ground surface to 10 feet below land
surface [bis]) were removed in 1987, and the excavation was filled with soil transported from off site.
Approximately 5,500 pounds of soil were removed from the property (Ref. 24, pp. 2, 3, 104 through 107).

Geraghty & Miller, Inc. collected ground water samples from newly installed monitoring wells in 1988
and 1989 (Ref. 6, pp. 1, 5, 7, 8). Three monitoring wells were installed on the General Dynamics
property, MW-13, MW-14, and FL-3, with total depths of 40, 15, and 156 feet, respectively. These wells
are located on the eastern portion of the General Dynamics property (Refs. 6, Figures 8, 9, and 10; 71, pp.
18, 19, 33). The greatest concentrations of TCE discovered in monitoring wells were detected in sample
MW-5 (total depth of 44 feet bis) in August 1988 and again in November 1989. MW-5 is located on the
north central portion of the SEC property (Refs. 6, Tables 6 and 7, Figure 6; 71, p. 10).

17


-------
In March 1991, Geraghty & Miller installed two wells on the western portion of the General Dynamics
property (Refs. 27, p. i, Figure 1; 71, pp. 21, 34). Monitoring well MW-16 (MW-16A) was installed to a
depth of 16 feet bis and FL-4 (FL-4C) was installed to a depth of 130 feet bis (Refs. 8, Table 2-4; 71, pp.
21, 34). Samples collected in March 1991 from monitoring well MW-16 (MW-16A) contained TCE at a
concentration of 380 (ig/L. Constituents related to the General Dynamics and/or SEC properties were not
detected in the sample collected from FL-4 (Ref. 27, Attachment A, pp. 3, 5).

In October 1995, Great American Financial Resources, Inc. (GAFRI) (successor in interest to SEC)
retained Woodward-Clyde Consultants (now URS Corporation [URS]) to conduct remediation activities
at the SEC property (Ref. 8, pp. ES-1, 4-8). In January 1996, URS submitted a revised interim remedial
action plan to FDEP. Three horizontal wells were installed in the upper surficial aquifer along the north
boundary of the SEC property to capture impacted shallow ground water and prevent the movement of the
shallow volatile organic hydrocarbon (VOH) plume to the north (Ref. 8, p. 4-8). One recovery well was
installed in the lower surficial aquifer to provide some hydraulic control, recover contaminants from the
B-zone (lower surficial aquifer), and to create additional upward pressure to further reduce the possibility
of vertical migration of contaminants into the Floridan aquifer (Ref. 8, pp. 1-9, 4-8). The ground water
treatment system began operation in July 1997. Six additional A-zone (upper surficial aquifer) wells, one
B-zone well, and one Floridan aquifer well were installed in 1996 to support performance monitoring
(Ref. 8, pp. 1-9, 4-8).

In 2001, URS, on behalf of GAFRI, conducted additional contamination assessment activities at the SEC
and General Dynamics properties (Refs. 8, pp. 4-10, 7-2; 8a; 46, p. 1; 79). The additional assessment
activities were conducted to investigate the cause of increasing levels of halogenated compounds in the
A-zone (about 12 to 17 feet bis) and the B-zone (about 20 to 46 feet bis) of the surficial aquifer (Ref. 46,
p. 1, Figure 3). Field logbooks from these activities are presented in Reference 93. The "A" zone and
"B" zone are separated by a clay layer (A/B) that exists at depths ranging from 11 feet to 32 feet bis
across the SEC and General Dynamics properties; however, the A/B clay layer is absent in certain areas
of both properties (Ref. 8, p. 2-4, Figure 2-3). Soil and direct push ground water samples were collected
during the investigation and analyzed for eight halogenated compounds (Ref. 46, p. 1; 58). TCE and its
degradation products were detected in subsurface soil samples collected from the western section of the
General Dynamics property (Ref. 46, Table 1, Figure 1; Ref. 52. p. 24; 65).

In November 2003, URS conducted a supplemental site investigation at the General Dynamics and SEC
properties (Ref. 73, pp. Cover-1, 1-1). URS investigated the septic tanks in the areas west of Buildings 1
and 2 on the General Dynamics property (Ref. 73, p. 2-1).

In 2005, URS, on behalf of GAFRI, conducted preliminary site characterization activities at the SEC and
General Dynamics properties. Activities included the collection of soil samples, direct push ground water
sampling, monitoring well network installation and sampling, as well as septic tank sampling (Refs. 54;
57; 75; 80; 82; 90). All samples were analyzed for chlorinated solvents (Ref. 49, pp. 1 through 4; 66; 81;
83; 84; 85; 86; 91). A soil sample was collected in the vicinity of the former vapor degreaser at a depth of
3 feet bis on the General Dynamics property (Refs. 16, pp. 14, 15, Exhibit 1; 49, Figure 3). This sample
contained 1,1-DCE at a concentration of 19.2 jj.g/kg. PCE was also detected in the soil sample, but at a
concentration greater than the method detection limit but less than the reporting limit (Refs. 49, Table 1;
77, p. 15). Ground water sampled from a direct-push sampling location underlying and downgradient of
the contaminated soil contained a significant increase of 1,1-DCE (greater than 3 times background) (See
Section 3.1, Likelihood of Release, of this HRS documentation record).

In 2007, MACTEC conducted a site inspection (SI) at the General Dynamics property on behalf of FDEP.
SI activities included the collection of soil and ground water samples from eight areas of concern to
identify possible source areas on the General Dynamics property (Ref. 10, pp. 19, 20, 21, 22). The
samples were analyzed for VOCs and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) metals (Ref. 10,
p. 20). Surface and subsurface soil samples collected in the vicinity of the paint and plating building
contained cadmium, chromium, lead, and silver at elevated concentrations (Refs. 3; 10, p. 53, Tables 7
and 9). Surface and subsurface soil samples did not contain site-related organic hazardous substances

18


-------
(Ref. 10, p. 52, Tables 6 and 8). One ground water sample collected in the vicinity of the paint and
plating building contained chromium at 52 (ig/L (Ref. 10, p. 51, Table 11).

Ground water samples were collected from direct push sample locations and newly installed micro wells
located near Source 2 (DPGW03, MW-AOC-1, MW-AOC-A2) at depths ranging from 10 to 42 feet bis
(Ref. 10, pp. 21, 22, 56, Tables 3 and 4). The samples contained PCE, TCE, cis-l,2-DCE, 1,1-DCE, and
vinyl chloride (Ref. 10, p. 56, Table 10). The concentrations of PCE, TCE, 1,1-DCE, and vinyl chloride
detected in the samples exceeded their respective EPA MCLs (Refs. 10, p. 56, Table 10; 48, pp. 2, 4, 5).
The greatest concentration of 1,1-DCE was detected at a depth of 20 to 24 feet bis with concentrations of
3,400 (ig/L. The greatest concentration of TCE, 8.2 (ig/L, was detected at a depth of 38 to 42 feet bis, and
the greatest concentration of vinyl chloride, 8.5 (ig/L, was detected at a depth of 15 to 25 feet bis (Ref. 10,
p. 56, Table 10).

2.2 SOURCE CHARACTERIZATION
2.2.1 SOURCE IDENTIFICATION

Number of source: 2

Name of source: Contaminated soil in the southeastern corner of Building 3
Source Type: Contaminated soil

Description and Location of Source (with reference to a map of site):

Source No. 2 is contaminated soil containing 1,1-DCE located beneath the southeastern corner of
Building 3 (see Figure 2 of this HRS documentation record). In 2005, URS collected a subsurface soil
sample (SB-038-03) in the southeast corner of Building 3 (Ref. 80, p. 29; 49, Figure 3). The sample
contained 1,1-DCE at an elevated concentration (Ref. 77, p. 15) (see Table 3 of this HRS documentation
record). 1,1-DCE is a breakdown product of 1,1,1-TCA and TCE (Ref. 52, p. 24, B4-63). Solvents such
as 1,1,1-TCA and TCE are indicated to have been used at the General Dynamics facility (Ref. 41, pp. 11,
12, 13; 88, pp. 7 through 11, 14, 15). Solvents were stored in an above ground storage tank located
outside Building 3, and used in a vapor degreaser located near Source No. 2 (Ref. 41, pp. 11, 12, 13; 88,
pp. 7 through 11, 14, 15). Additionally, an underground storage tank is located near Source 2 (Ref. 8, pp.
1-4, 2-2, Figure 1-2)

2.2.2 HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES ASSOCIATED WITH THE SOURCE

The subsurface soil samples listed in Table 3 were collected by URS during the June through September
2005 RI (Refs. 8, p. 2-5; 50, p. 44; 75, pp. 13, 20; 76, p. 46; 77, p. 34; 80, pp. 27, 29; 92, p. 43). The
subsurface soil samples were collected at 3 feet bis. Subsurface soil samples, SB-006-3, SB-017-3, and
SB-037-3, were collected from the General Dynamics and SEC properties at the same depth (3 feet bis)
and were used to establish background concentrations (Refs. 49, Figure 3; 75, pp. 13, 20; 80, pp. 27, 29).
The contaminated subsurface soil sample, SB-038-03, was collected in the southeastern corner of
Building 3 at a depth of 3 feet below the building floor. The sample was collected inside the building by
coring through the concrete using a direct push rig. (Refs. 16, pp. 14, 15, Exhibit 1; 49, Figure 3; 80, pp.
29, 30). The background subsurface soil samples and contaminated subsurface soil samples were
collected from the same soil type (urban land, 0 to 12 percent slopes), at the same depth, during the same
sampling event, and in accordance with the same sampling procedures (Refs. 7; 8, p. 2-5; 49, Figure 3;
55, pp. 167, 168, 169; 74, Appendix E, p. E-30; 75, pp. 13, 20; 80, pp. 27, 29; 87, Section 12).

The subsurface soil samples were collected in accordance with the EPA Region 4, Science and Ecosystem
Support Division (SESD) Environmental Investigations Standard Operating Procedures and Quality
Assurance Manual (EISOPQAM) (Refs. 7; 8, pp. 2-5; 74, Appendix E, p. E-30; 87, Section 12). The
samples were analyzed for VOHs (volatile organic hydrocarbons) using EPA SW846 Method 8260B
(Refs. 8, p. 2-5; 50, p. 7; 59, p. 1, FOUR-15; 76, p. 13; 77, p. 15; 92, p. 18). Data validation was
conducted by URS and the data validation reports are contained in Reference 51. The URS data
validation reports were reviewed to ensure that the National Functional Guidelines were followed.

Analytical data sheets and chain of custody records are contained in References 50, 76, 77, and 92.
Logbook notes are provided in References 75 and 80. The locations of the subsurface soil samples listed
in Table 3 are provided in Figure 3 of Reference 49.

2.2.3 HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES AVAILABLE TO A PATHWAY

The subsurface soil sample collected from Source No. 2 contained an elevated concentration of 1,1-DCE
(Refs. 49, Figure 3; 77, pp. 15, 34) (also see Table 5 of this HRS documentation record). Source No. 2
consists of an area of contaminated soil located in the southeastern portion of Building 3 on the General
Dynamics property (Ref. 16, pp. 14, 15, Exhibit 1). Analytical results for ground water collected in the
vicinity of Source No. 2 indicate that a release of hazardous substances has occurred to the ground water
migration pathway as documented in Section 3.0 of this HRS documentation record. During the 2005 RI,
a liner was not observed during sampling activities (Ref. 56). Therefore, a containment factor value of 10
was assigned for the ground water migration pathway (Ref. 1, Section 3.1.2.1, Table 3-2).

Description of Other Possible Sources

During the 2007 SI conducted by MACTEC, surface and subsurface soil samples were collected from
various locations throughout the property surrounding the paint and plating building located in the
northeastern portion of the property (Refs. 3; 10, pp. 1, 3, 51, 52, 53, Tables 3, 7, and 9) (see Figure 2 of
this HRS documentation record). Sediment samples have also been collected from the drainage ditch that
runs between the General Dynamics and SEC properties and were found to contain TCE and DCE (Ref.
8, Tables 4-1 and 4-2, Figure 2-2). Surface and subsurface soil samples collected during the SI contained
cadmium, chromium, lead, and silver at elevated concentrations (Ref. 10, pp. 52, 53, Tables 7 and 9).
One ground water sample collected in the vicinity of the paint and plating building contained chromium at
52 jig/L (Ref. 10, p. 51, Table 11).

3.0 GROUND WATER MIGRATION PATHWAY

3.0.1 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

Ground Water Migration Pathway Description

The General Dynamics property is located in the western section of Seminole County on the Florida
Platform section of the Atlantic Coastal Plain province (Refs. 4, p. 3; 10, p. 48; 67, pp. 2, 3; 69, p. 4).
The topography in Seminole County is divided into two types: a flat lowland and hilly uplands (Refs. 68,
p. 6; 70, pp. 6, 7). Elevation at the General Dynamics property is about 35 feet above sea level (asl) (see
Figure 1 of this HRS documentation record) (Ref. 30). The General Dynamics property is underlain in
descending stratigraphic order by undifferentiated deposits of the Holocene, Pleistocene, and Pliocene
age; the Hawthorn Group of the Miocene age; the Ocala Limestone, Avon Park Formation, and Oldsmar
Formation of the Eocene age; and the Cedar Keys Formation of the Paleocene age (Ref. 68, pp. 10, 13).

The undifferentiated deposits of Pliocene to Holocene age consist of alluvium, freshwater marl, peats and
muds in stream and lake bottoms, quartz, sand, shell fragments and sandy clay. The deposits range from
0 to 150 feet bis in the vicinity of the General Dynamics property (Ref. 68, p. 13).

Underlying the undifferentiated deposits is the Hawthorn Group. The Hawthorn Group consists of beds
of blue to gray, calcareous clay, altering with beds of cream to gray sandy limestone containing numerous
grains of black to cream phosphate rack and fragments of chert. The deposits range from 0 to 200 feet in
thickness (Refs. 68, p. 13; 70, p. 15).

The Ocala Limestone underlies the Hawthorn Group and is characterized by white-cream to tan-gray soft
to hard, granular, porous foraminiferal marine limestones (Refs. 68, p. 13; 70, p. 15). The Ocala
Limestone is about 0 to 200 feet thick and overlies the Avon Park Formation, which consists of light to
brown, soft to hard, porous to dense, granular to chalky, fossiliferous limestone and brown, crystalline
dolomite (Refs. 68, p. 13; 70, pp. 13, 14). The Avon Park Formation is about 600 to 1,600 feet thick.
Underlying the Avon Park Formation is the Oldsmar Formation which has a thickness of 300 to 1,350
feet. This formation consists of alternating beds of light brown to white, chalky, porous, fossiliferous
limestone and porous crystalline dolomite. The Avon Park Formation is underlain by the Cedar Keys
Formation, which consists of dolomite with anhydrite and gypsum and some limestone. The Cedar Keys
formation is about 500 to 2,200 feet thick (Ref. 68, p. 13).

Ground water in the Seminole County, Florida area exists in two distinct units: the surficial aquifer and
the Floridan aquifer. These aquifers are separated by a discontinuous intermediate confining unit
(Hawthorn Group). The surficial aquifer has limited use due to low yields to wells and the potential for
contamination. Water withdrawn from the surficial aquifer is used mainly for lawn irrigation (Refs. 8,
Figure 4-40; 29; 68, pp. 2, 13; 71, p. 32). The Floridan aquifer system is the principal source of ground
water in east-central Florida and is divided into two aquifers of relatively high permeability, the Upper
Floridan and the Lower Floridan aquifers. These aquifers are separated by a less permeable unit that
restricts the downward movement of water (Ref. 68, p. 19).

The surficial aquifer consists of undifferentiated sediments of the Holocene, Pleistocene, and Pliocene
ages; the intermediate confining unit consists of part of the Hawthorn Group; and the Floridan aquifer
consists of portions of the Hawthorn Group, Ocala Limestone, the Avon Park Formation, the Oldsmar
Formation, and the upper part of the Cedar Keys Formation (Ref. 68, pp. 13, 19). In Seminole County,
the surficial aquifer is separated from the Floridan aquifer by the confining bed of the Hawthorn Group;
however, the Hawthorn Group is not continuous; and is not present directly north (about 240 feet) of the
General Dynamics property (Refs. 8, Figure 4-40; 29; 71, p. 32).

The surficial aquifer is the upper most water bearing unit in Seminole County. The system is unconfined
and consists mainly of lenses of fine to medium quartz sand with varying amounts of shell and clay. The
deposits are discontinuous and their lithology and texture can vary over short distances. The top of the

25

GW-Likelihood of Release


-------
surficial aquifer is defined by the water table (Ref. 68, p. 14). The base of the surficial aquifer system is
characterized by the first persistent beds of Miocene or Pliocene age containing a significant increase in
clay or silt. The altitude at the base of the surficial aquifer system ranges from about 75 feet asl to more
than 75 feet below sea level in Seminole County (Ref. 68, p. 16).

Underlying the surficial aquifer is the intermediate confining unit (Hawthorn Group) containing
interbedded quartz, locally highly phosphatic clay, silt, sand, and limestone (Ref. 68, pp. 13, 18). The
thickness of the confining unit is variable due to past erosional processes and sinkhole formation. In
Seminole County, the thickness of the Hawthorne Group ranges from 25 to greater than 100 feet (Ref. 68,
p. 18). However, the Hawthorn Group is not continuous in the vicinity of the General Dynamics
property. Specifically, the group is absent directly north (about 240 feet) of Source No. 2 on the General
Dynamics property; therefore, the surficial and Upper Floridan aquifers are interconnected (Refs. 8,

Figure 4-40; 29; 71, p. 32).

The Upper Floridan aquifer is composed of the Ocala Limestone and the dolomitic limestones of the
upper one-third of the Avon Park Formation (Ref. 68, p. 19). In the vicinity of the General Dynamics
property, the top of the Upper Floridan aquifer is encountered at about 50 feet below sea level (about 85
feet bis) (Refs. 30; 68, p. 22). However, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) well data-
collection sites, the depths of wells installed in the Upper Floridan aquifer in Seminole County range from
90 to 925 feet bis. (Refs. 9, Plates 28 and 29; 30; 68, pp. 102 through 107). Also, the depths of municipal
wells installed in the Upper Floridan aquifer in Seminole County range from 162 to 925 feet bis (Refs.
31, pp. 1,2; 32, p.l; 33, pp. 1,2; 34; 35, pp. 1, 22; 36, p.l; 37, p. 1; 61; 62, p. 2; 63; 94; 97) (see Table 17
of this HRS documentation record). Well logs of monitoring wells installed in the Upper Floridan aquifer
on the SEC and General Dynamics properties display water levels indicating that ground water flow is to
the north-northeast (Ref. 8, p. 3-4, Figure 3-10).

Ground water flow in the Upper Floridan aquifer system is mostly through porous limestone, and is
enhanced by networks of small fractures or solution openings that occur along joints or bedding planes.
In some areas, flow may be through large cavernous features of paleokarst, resulting in a dual-porosity
flow system (Ref. 68, pp. 19, 21, 23). In addition, Florida Geological Survey well logs to the north and
south of the General Dynamics property indicate pin point voids in the limestone units of the Upper
Floridan aquifer. Karstic ground water flow occurs in the Upper Floridan aquifer (Refs. 64, pp. 4, 14;

78).

Recharge in the Upper Floridan aquifer is by downward leakage from the surficial aquifer system,
through breaches in the intermediate confining unit caused by sinkholes or where the confining unit is
thin or missing, by lateral inflow, and through drainage wells (Ref. 68, p. 29). The highest rates of
recharge from the surficial aquifer to the Upper Floridan aquifer occur in western Seminole County,
which is characterized by karstic sand ridges with relatively deep water tables or an intermediate
confining unit that is relatively thin (Ref. 68, p. 29). Karst terrain is also exhibited in Longwood, Florida
by numerous sinkholes of various sizes (Refs. 78; 95, pp. 1 through 6).

The middle semiconfining unit separates the Upper and Lower Floridan aquifers and consists of soft
micritic limestone and fine-grained dolomitic limestone, both of low porosity (Refs. 9, p. B56; 68, p. 23).
The middle semiconfining unit is the leakiest confining unit in the Floridan aquifer system (Ref. 9, pp.
B3, B56). In Seminole County the middle semiconfining unit ranges in thickness from about 400 to 550
feet (Refs. 9, p. B57; 68, p. 23).

The Lower Floridan aquifer includes the lower one-third of the Avon Park Formation and all of the
Oldsmar Formation. The aquifer is very productive and is composed of altering beds of limestone and
fractured dolomite (Ref. 68, p. 23). The top of the Lower Floridan aquifer is encountered at about 900 to
1,000 feet below sea level (which corresponds to about 935 to 1,035 feet bis at the site) (Refs. 30; 98, pp.
20, 21; 99, pp. 1, 5, 6). The Lower Floridan aquifer is about 910 to 1,180 feet thick. Therefore, the base
of the Lower Floridan Aquifer is estimated to be between 1,810 and 2,180 feet below sea level (which
corresponds to about 1,845 to 2,215 feet bis at the site) (Refs. 9, Plates 31 and 33; 30; 98, pp. 20 through

26	GW-Likelihood of Release


-------
23). According to USGS well data-collection sites, the depths of wells installed in the Lower Floridan
aquifer in Seminole County range from 984 to 1,506 feet bis (Ref. 68, pp. 102 through 107).

Previous investigations at the General Dynamics and SEC properties divide the surficial aquifer into two
water bearing zones, A-zone and B-zone, and refer to the Upper Floridan aquifer as the C-zone. The A-
zone (upper surficial aquifer) and B-zone (lower surficial aquifer), are separated by a discontinuous clay
layer (A/B clay) (Ref. 8, pp. 3-3, 3-4, Figure 2-3). The A/B clay layer ranges in depth from 13.5 bis to 32
feet bis across the General Dynamics property and is absent in the northwestern portion of the property
(Ref. 8, p. 2-4, Figure 2-3, Appendix C, pp. 27 through 49). The ground water flow direction in the A and
B zones is north to northeast across the General Dynamics property (Refs. 8, Figures 3-6 and 3-7; 10, p.
57).

Three horizontal wells were installed in the upper surficial aquifer along the north boundary of the SEC
property to capture impacted shallow ground water and prevent the movement of the shallow volatile
organic hydrocarbon (VOH) plume to the north (Ref. 8, p. 4-8; 74, Appendix H, Figure 2, Figure 4). One
recovery well was installed in the lower surficial aquifer to provide some hydraulic control, recover
contaminants from the B-zone (lower surficial aquifer), and to create additional upward pressure to
further reduce the possibility of vertical migration of contaminants into the Floridan aquifer (Ref. 8, pp. 1-
9, 4-8). The operation of this system does not alter the general northerly movement of ground water in
the surficial aquifer (Ref. 8, Figs. 3-6, 3-7, Appendix D, p. D-105; 10, Fig. 10; 74, Appendix H, Figs. 4,

5).

3.1 LIKELIHOOD OF RELEASE

3.1.1 OBSERVED RELEASE

Aquifer Being Evaluated: Interconnected Surficial and Upper Floridan Aquifer
- Hazardous Substance in Release: 1,1-DCE
Chemical Analysis

Analysis of ground water underlying and downgradient of Source No. 2 shows a significant increase of
1,1-DCE (greater than 3 times) over background level (see Table 12 and 14 of this HRS documentation
record).

Background Samples

Direct push ground water samples collected from direct push locations 23 and 26 (DPGW-23 and DPGW-
26) were collected on the northeastern and south central portion of the SEC property. These locations are
upgradient of Source No. 2 and ground water underlying Source No. 2 (Ref. 8, Figures 3-6 and 3-7) (see
Figure 2 of this HRS documentation record). Therefore, ground water samples collected from DPGW-23
and DPGW-26 are used to represent background concentrations for the observed release to the surficial
aquifer underlying and downgradient of Source No. 2 at the General Dynamics property (Refs. 8, Figures
4-30 and 4-32; 72, p. 74; 75, pp. 55, 56). Background direct push ground water samples listed in Table
11 were collected at 22 feet bis and are compared to downgradient direct push ground water samples
collected at corresponding depths (Ref. 8, Figures 4-30 and 4-32) (see Tables 11 and 13 of this HRS
documentation record).

The direct push ground water samples were collected using a truck-mounted direct push rig and smaller
track mounted direct push rig to advance stainless steel rods using hydraulic pressure and a hammer
technique (Ref. 8, p. 2-7). The background direct push ground water samples were collected in
accordance with the EPA Region 4 SESD EISOPQAM, dated November 2001 (Refs. 7; 74, Appendix E,
p. E-29; 87, Section 7).

The locations of the direct push background ground water samples are provided in Table 11 and depicted
in Reference 8, Figures 4-29 through 4-32. Chain of custody records are provided in Reference 72, pp.
74, 76. Logbook notes are contained in Reference 75.

The background direct push and downgradient direct push ground water samples were collected from
surficial aquifer wells with similar construction details, at similar depths, during the same sampling event,
and in accordance with the same sampling procedures (Refs. 7; 8, p. 2-7; 72, pp. 74, 76; 74, Appendix E,
p. E-29; 77, p. 34; 80, p. 29; 87, Section 7) (see Tables 11 and 13 of this HRS documentation record).

Attribution

The significant increase of 1,1-DCE can be attributed to the General Dynamics Longwood site. 1,1-DCE
is associated with Source No. 2, and a significant increase of 1,1-DCE is detected in ground water
underlying and downgradient of Source No. 2 (see sections 2.2.2 Hazardous Substances Associated with
the Source and 3.1.1 Observed Release of this HRS documentation record). Additionally, upgradient
background concentrations of 1,1-DCE indicate that releases from the SEC SAA site did not contribute
significantly to the increase in the concentration of 1,1-DCE in the General Dynamics Longwood site
observed release sample (see section 3.1.1 Observed Release of this HRS documentation record).

According to depositions of former General Dynamics' employees, General Dynamics (and its
predecessors) manufactured printed circuit boards (Refs. 10, pp. 3, 4; 16, pp. 6, 7). Gould Publications
purchased the property in 1993 and conducted printing and publication assembly operations. Currently,
the property is used for wholesaling and warehouse activities (Refs. 10, p. 3; 18). Solvents such as 1,1,1-
TCA and TCE (whose degradation products include 1,1-DCE) are indicated to have been used at the
General Dynamics facility (Ref. 41, pp. 11, 12, 13; 52, p. 24, B4-63; 88, pp. 7 through 11, 14, 15).
Solvents were stored in an above ground storage tank located outside Building 3, and used in a vapor
degreaser located near Source No. 2 (Ref. 41, pp. 11, 12, 13; 88, pp. 7 through 11, 14, 15).

The adjacent SEC facility manufactured film capacitors on the property from 1959 to 1992. From about
1959 to December 1964, a portion of the SEC property was owned by Dearborn. Both SEC and Dearborn
manufactured film capacitors at the SEC property. Film capacitors were assembled, soldered,
impregnated with wax mineral oil or silicon oil in a pressurized chamber, and then cleaned in a vapor
degreaser (Ref. 26, p. 3). The chemicals TCA and TCE were used as cleaning agents in the vapor
degreaser, and contamination has been documented in SEC sources and ground water in the surficial and
Floridan aquifers underlying the SEC property (Refs. 5, pp. 15, 18; 8, p. 1-5; 22, p. 3; 60). In January
1986 and December 1987, the SEC property entered into a State of Florida Consent Order that was
approved and monitored by FDEP. Site assessments have been conducted at the SEC property for over
20 years and have included numerous investigations. In 2003, the lead agency for cleanup activities was
transferred to EPA (Refs. 8, p. ES-1). The AOC signed and approved by EPA in June 2004 also included
the General Dynamics property (Refs. 8, p. 1-1, Figure 1-4; 26, p. 3; 60).

In 2005, URS conducted an RI at the SEC property. During the 2005 RI, 1,1-DCE (a degradation product
of TCE and 1,1,1-TCA) was detected in a subsurface soil sample (Source No. 2) as well as ground water
on the General Dynamics property, (sample DPGW-34(22') (Refs. 8, Figure 4-30; 49, Figure 3; 52, p. 24,
B4-63; 77, p. 15) (see Figure 2 of the HRS documentation record). Due to this finding, EPA removed the
eastern portion of the General Dynamics property from the AOC (Ref. 8, pp. 1-1, 1-2).

Although the SEC SAA site located hydraulically upgradient (south of) of the General Dynamics property
is a known source of ground water contamination (Ref. 10, p. 4, 5), upgradient background concentrations
of 1,1-DCE indicate that releases from the SEC site did not contribute significantly to the increase of the
concentration of 1,1-DCE in the General Dynamics Longwood site observed release sample (see section
3.1.1 Observed Release of this HRS documentation record) Additionally, analytical results from 1989 to
2005 indicate that the concentration of 1,1-DCE detected in direct push ground water sample, DPGW-
34(22'), collected from ground water underlying Source No. 2 on the General Dynamics property
contained the highest concentration of 1,1-DCE (26,500 (ig/L) detected during ground water
investigations conducted at the General Dynamics and SEC properties (Refs. 8, Figures 4-29 through 4-
32, 4-38, 4-39; 51, pp. 1 through 6; 77, p. 9; 96, Tables 1 through 4).

To highlight this, the analytical and sampling data from 1988 to 2006 available in the references to the
HRS documentation record have been reviewed to characterize the contamination levels in the ground
water hydraulically upgradient of the release sample (see references cited on Figure 4 of this HRS
documentation record); these data include historical results for monitoring well samples from the A-zone
and B-zone of the surficial aquifer and direct push ground water samples. The sample locations selected
for review are from the area depicted in Figure 4 of this HRS documentation record, which presents the

33

-------
extent of the area considered hydraulically upgradient of the release sample, including approximate
locations of the reviewed upgradient samples. As discussed in section 3.0.1 General Considerations,
Ground Water Migration Pathway Description, of this HRS documentation record, a generally northern
flow direction of ground water has been documented from various investigations at the site. The western-
most extent of the upgradient area in Figure 4 was selected to be as inclusive as reasonably possible based
upon analysis of the ground water flow direction maps provided in the references to the HRS
documentation record (see references cited on Figure 4 of this HRS documentation record). No
upgradient occurrence of 1,1-DCE or possible parent compound were found at levels sufficient to explain
the concentration found in observed release sample DPGW-34(22').

In addition to SEC, another source of potential contamination may exist in the area. Continental Circuits,
Inc. is located about 1.5 miles northwest of the General Dynamics property (Ref. 12, pp. 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10).
However, Continental Circuits, Inc. is located hydraulically side gradient to the General Dynamics
property and is not expected to impact contamination or releases at the General Dynamics property (Refs.
8, Figures 3-6, 3-7 and 3-10; 12, pp. 9, 10).

3.1.2 POTENTIAL TO RELEASE

Potential to release was not evaluated for the upper and lower surficial aquifers because an observed
release has been documented (see Section 3.1.1 of this HRS documentation record). The Hawthorne
Formation, which underlies the surficial aquifer, is not continuous in the vicinity of the General Dynamics
property. Specifically, the formation is absent about 240 feet north of the General Dynamics property;
therefore, the surficial and upper Floridan aquifers are interconnected (Refs. 8, Figure 4-40; 29; 68, p. 18;
71, p. 32).

3.2 WASTE CHARACTERISTICS
3.2.1 TOXICITY/MOBILITY

The toxicity and mobility factor values for the hazardous substance detected in the source sample with a
containment factor value of greater than 0 are summarized in Table 15. The combined toxicity and
mobility factor value is assigned in accordance with Reference 1, Section 3.2.1. The hazardous substance
detected in the observed release to ground water is assigned a mobility factor value of 1 (Ref. 1, Section
3.2.1.2).

3.3 TARGETS

Residents in the vicinity of the General Dynamics property are provided drinking water from one of seven
municipal systems: Seminole County, Casselberry, Lake Mary, Longwood, Winter Springs, Sanford, and
Sanlando Utilities (Ref. 30).

Seminole County operates three water treatment plants (WTP) served by 19 municipal wells, 9 of which
are in two distribution systems within a 4-mile radius of the General Dynamics property. The Greenwood
Lakes WTP (five wells) and Country Club WTP (two wells) make up one distribution system and the
Heathrow WTP (two wells) makes up the second distribution system. Of the nine wells, four are located
within 1 to 2 miles (Greenwood Lakes and Country Club WTPs), three are located within 2 to 3 miles
(Greenwood Lakes WTP), and two (Heathrow WTP) are located within 3 to 4 miles of the General
Dynamics property (Refs. 30; 31, pp. 1, 2, 3, 5, 7). The depths of the Greenwood Lakes WTP wells range
from 480 to 900 feet, the depths of the Country Club WTP wells are 350 feet, and the depths of the
Heathrow WTP wells are 325 and 390 feet (Refs. 31, pp. 1, 2; 61). All wells obtain water from the Upper
Floridan aquifer (Ref. 31, pp. 1, 2). Water from the Greenwood Lakes and Country Club WTPs is
combined into one distribution system and is mixed in the distribution lines. These two WTPs
collectively serve about 18,094 people (18,094 7 wells = 2,584.86 people served per well) (Ref. 31, pp.
1,2). The second distribution system includes the Heathrow WTP along with three other WTPs. The
Heathrow WTP operates five wells, two of which are located within 3-4 miles of the General Dynamics
property (Ref. 30; 31, pp. 1, 2). The three other WTPs and their seven wells are not located within a 4-
mile radius of the General Dynamics property. Water from the four WTPs is mixed in distribution lines
and serves about 24,439 people collectively (24,439 people 12 wells = 2,036.58 people served per
well). None of the Seminole County wells produces more than 40 percent of the total water supply in the
distribution systems (Refs. 30; 31, pp. 1, 2). Water from the two distribution systems does not mix in the
distribution lines to form one blended system (Ref. 31, p. 9).

The City of Casselberry maintains nine municipal wells and three (N-l, N-2, and N-3) are located within
2 to 3 miles of the General Dynamics property (Refs. 30; 36, pp. 1, 2, 3). Of these three wells, one well
obtains water from the Lower Floridan aquifer and two wells obtain water from the Upper Floridan
aquifer. The depths of the wells range from 377 to 1,200 feet (Ref. 36, pp. 1, 2, 3). None of the City of
Casselberry wells produce more than 40 percent of the total water supply. The water from the wells can
be mixed in distribution lines. The City of Casselberry collectively serves 54,800 people or 6,088.89
people per well (54,800 people 9 wells) (Ref. 36, p. 1).

The City of Lake Mary maintains five municipal wells located within 3 to 4 miles of the General
Dynamics property (Refs. 30; 32, p. 1). None of the Lake Mary wells produce more than 40 percent of
the total water supply. All wells obtain water from the Upper Floridan aquifer and the depths range from
500 to 695 feet. The water from all five wells is mixed prior to distribution to customers. The City of
Lake Mary wells collectively serve 13,496 people (13,496 5 = 2,699.20 people served per well) (Ref.
32, pp. 1, 2; 62, pp. i, 1, 2).

The City of Longwood maintains five municipal wells; two of the wells are located within 1 to 2 miles
and 3 are located within 2 to 3 miles of the General Dynamics property (Refs. 30; 33, pp. 1, 4 through 9).
None of the City of Longwood wells produce more than 40 percent of the total water supply. All wells
obtain water from the Upper Floridan aquifer and the depths range from 300 to 500 feet. The water from
all five wells is mixed prior to distribution to customers. The City of Longwood wells collectively serve
20,223 people (20,223 people 5 wells = 4,044.60 people served per well) (Ref. 33, pp. 1 through 10).

The City of Sanford operates 19 municipal wells; six of the wells are located within 3 to 4 miles of the
General Dynamics property (Refs. 30; 34, pp. 1, 2, 3). The wells located within the 4-mile radius of the
General Dynamics property obtain water from the Upper Floridan aquifer and the depths range from 162
to 350 feet. None of the City of Sanford wells produce more than 40 percent of the total water supply.
The water from all 19 wells is mixed prior to distribution to customers. The City of Sanford wells

37

-------
collectively serve 61,975 people (61,975 people 19 wells = 3,261.84 people served per well) (Refs. 34,
pp. 1,2, 3; 63, pp. 3, 5, 6).

The City of Winter Springs operates eight municipal wells; four of the wells are located within a 4-mile
radius of the General Dynamics property. The wells are distributed as follows: 0.25 to 0.5 mile, one
well; 0.5 to 1 mile, 1 well; and 2 to 3 miles, two wells (Refs. 30; 37, p. i). None of the City of Winter
Springs wells produce more than 40 percent of the total water supply. The depths of the wells range from
290 to 491 feet deep and obtain water from the Upper Floridan aquifer. The water from all eight wells is
mixed in distribution lines. The City of Winter Springs wells collectively serve 35,983 people (35,983
people 8 wells = 4,497.88 people served per well) (Refs. 37, p. i, 1, 2; 94).

Sanlando Utilities maintains 11 municipal wells; six are located within 3 to 4 miles of the General
Dynamics property (Refs. 30; 35, p. 1; 97). Well No. 8, located outside the 4-mile radius, supplies 50
percent of the total water supply (Ref. 35, p. 1). All wells obtain water from the Upper Floridan aquifer
and the depths of the wells range from 420 to 925 feet deep (Ref. 97). The water from all 11 wells is
mixed prior to distribution to customers. Sanlando Utilities collectively serves 35,700 people (Refs. 35,
pp. 1 through 8). Therefore, the amount of people served by Well No. 8 is 17,850 (35,700 2) and the
remaining 10 wells, which each contribute equally to the remaining 50 percent of the total water supply,
serve 1,785 people served per well (17,850 10) (Refs. 35, p. 1; 97).

The service areas for Sanlando Utilities, City of Longwood, and City of Winter Springs were obtained
from their respective contact person (Refs. 33, p. 1; 35, pp. 1, 2; 37, pp. 2, 3). The service areas for the
City of Sanford, Seminole County, and the City of Lake Mary were obtained from the St. Johns River
Management District Consumptive Use Permits 162, 8213, and 8284, respectively (Refs. 38, p. 6; 39, pp.
7 through 10; 40, p. 6).

Municipal wells located within a 4-mile radius of the General Dynamics property provide drinking water
to about 116,336.52 people. The population served by these wells per distance ring is distributed as
follows: > 0 to 0.25 mile, 0 people; > 0.25 to 0.50 mile, 4,497.88 people; > 0.50 to 1 mile, 4,497.88
people; > 1 to 2 miles, 18,428.64 people; > 2 to 3 miles, 41,061.92 people; > 3 to 4 miles, 47,850.20
people (Refs. 30; 31, pp. 1 through 8; 32, pp. 1, 2; 33, pp. 1 through 8; 34; 35, pp. 1 through 8; 36, pp. 1,
2, 3; 37, pp. i through 11) (also see Table 17 of this HRS documentation record). All of the wells in the
area are screened in the Upper Floridan aquifer at a maximum depth of 925 feet (Refs. 31, pp. 1, 2, 9; 32,
p. 1; 33, pp. 1, 2; 34; 35, p. 1; 36, p. 1; 37, p. 1; 94; 97). Seminole County, Sanlando Utilities, and the
cities of Lake Mary, Sanford, and Casselberry have wellhead protection areas (Refs. 31, p. 2; 32, p. 1; 33,
p. 1; 34, p. 1; 35, p. 1; 36). Therefore, wellhead protection areas are located within the 4-mile radius of
the source at General Dynamics (Ref. 30).

3.3.2.4 Potential Contamination

Distance-weighted population values for potential contamination ground water targets for the Upper and
Lower Floridan aquifer are presented in Table 18. Ground water flow in the Floridan aquifer system is
mostly through porous limestone, and is enhanced by networks of small fractures or solution openings
that occur along joints or bedding planes. In some areas, flow may be through large cavernous features of
paleokarst, resulting in a dual-porosity flow system (Ref. 68, pp. 19, 21, 23). Karstic ground water flow
occurs in the Floridan aquifer within the entire 4-mile radius of the source at the General Dynamics
Longwood site (Ref. 78).
