Orange County Public Schools Education Complex Fire Training Facility

The Orange County Public Schools Education Complex Fire Training Facility is located at:

The site is a 63.53-acre parcel located at 2900 West Oak Ridge Road, Orlando, Orange County, Florida. It was originally reported that firefighting aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) was not utilized at the facility. A 2020 Phase I Environmental Site Assessment completed by a private environmental consultant, however, identified the presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) which are associated with AFFF. Results indicated perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in soil at concentrations above leachability-based provisional cleanup target levels.

PFOS, PFOA and the sum of PFOS and PFOA were reported at levels above provisional groundwater cleanup target levels in four monitoring wells installed at the fire training facility. During 2022, DEP assumed project management duties associated with continued per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) assessment at the facility.

A link summarizing important events at this facility is included below.  More information about this site can be accessed through DEP's information portal.  The Facility/Site ID is ERIC_17862.
