"Continental Turpentine occupied a 60-acre site in Shamrock, Dixie County, Florida from 1958 to 1981. The facility operations consisted of grinding pine stumps and distilling of turpentine and other pine tree products. During the facility's operation, Continental Turpentine produced raw pine resin and refined pine rosin-derived products. The property contained an office, numerous pressure tanks, a production well and an above ground bulk tank where isopropyl alcohol, toluene and diesel fuel were stored. Plant operations ceased in 1984.

On September 9 and 10, 1991; a Site Inspection... found that benzene, chromium, and lead were in concentrations above the drinking water standards in the ground water beneath the site and high concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (P AHs) were found in pond sediments on the site. The drinking water aquifer is between 2 to 4 feet below ground level in the area."

The only structures left on this hazardous waste Superfund site are the remains of the office and a water tower. We usually enjoy poking around old buildings, but knowing the level of contamination in the area, we were glad it was fenced off.
