Weapons Plant Site To Be Cleaned Up
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: June 7, 2008
TALLEVAST - Lockheed Martin Corp. plans to dismantle the buildings at a former weapons manufacturing plant in Manatee County that has been criticized for having a vast plume of groundwater pollution.
Lockheed is bringing experts to speak at an open house next week and explain to residents how the buildings at the former American Beryllium Co. will be dismantled and the contaminated soil beneath them removed.
Lockheed says the demolition will begin next month at the former plant in Tallevast, about miles south of Tampa.
Lockheed has maintained that the plume posed no health risk to residents.
