Honeywell Plant Site Leaves Legacy Of Fear

By ROB SHAW
Tampa Bay Online
June 3, 2004


TAMPA - Robert Groff wonders if it might be why his wife's family has
been plagued by so much cancer.

Nathan Bullian worries about his wife and two children.

And Kevin Barber thinks back to the trips he took to the water fountain
at the old Honeywell plant where he formerly worked at Himes and Waters
avenues in north Tampa.

The site where circuit boards used to be made for the Defense Department
now sits abandoned and is a community eyesore. It also is contaminated
with a variety of chemicals, as residents learned at an open house
Wednesday at Egypt Lake Elementary School.

Many have discovered only recently about the problems at the 17-acre
site, which Honeywell occupied from the mid- 1960s to the mid-1980s.
Giant poster boards on display at the open house explained what happened
to contaminate the site, what has been done to mitigate the problem and
what will be done.
