Overview



	The Department of Environmental Protection announces a public meeting to which all persons are invited.

DATE AND TIME:	June 30, 2026, 4:00 p.m. 7:00 p.m. EDT

PLACE:	Russell Baptist Church, 2299 Sandridge Road, Green Cove Springs, Florida 32043

Subject:	The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) will hold a public meeting to provide an opportunity for the public to ask questions, offer input and obtain information about the proposed corrective and interim measures included in the Consent Order for the Stoneridge Farms, Inc. (Stoneridge) facility. Although mining operations have ceased at the former Solite facility, site assessment and investigation activities have identified contamination in specific areas within the property boundaries requiring cleanup and a single satellite site. Stoneridge is responsible for assessment and remediation of any contamination remaining on the site and any historical contamination originating from the portions of the original facility property purchased by others. The proposed institutional and engineering controls outlined in the Corrective Measures Study and a Controls Management Plan at former processing areas and wastewater ponds will restrict land use and access to contaminated soil which will limit potential risks to human health and the environment. The proposed excavation and disposal of a targeted area of contaminated soil outlined in the Interim Measures Plan at a peninsula on the southwest side of the former mine pit will remove the source of contamination and prevent future leaching of contaminated soil to groundwater. The site is located at 3000 County Road 209A, Green Cove Springs, Florida, in Clay County. DEP has assigned file number FLD004059058 to this project. The public comment period will conclude 45 days after publication of DEP’s Notice of Intent in a major local newspaper of general circulation. All comments received will be reviewed and considered before DEP takes final action on the proposed corrective and interim measures.
