At the request of SunTrust Bank, South Florida, EBS Engineering Inc. (EBS), conducted a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (Phase II) for New River Cabinet Company located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The purpose of the Phase II was to investigate the potential impacts to the groundwater aquifer due to a federally listed contaminated property located northwest of the subject site.

According to available US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) documents, the Hollingsworth Solderless Terminal Company (Hollingsworth) disposed of solvents and hazardous wastes to on-site drainage structures and a deep injection well. Following federally supervised remediation at the facility, contamination of the shallow aquifer decreased to below state limits, but contamination of the intermediate and deep aquifer persists.
