The site is located at 6601 NW 72nd Avenue in northwest Miami-Dade County, about two miles north of Miami International Airport. The site covers 1.2 acres and is now wholly contained within an 82-acre parcel owned by the Miami-Dade County Transit Authority. The 82-acre parcel is the location of the William Lehman Operations and Maintenance Center, a major train repair facility for Miami-Dade County's aboveground electric rail system. The site is located in a commercial and industrial area of Hialeah. Several other communities surround the site, including Miami Springs, Medley, Hialeah Gardens, Pinewood Park and Miami. Between 1966 and 1981, Miami Drum Services cleaned and recycled drums at the site. In 1981, the county forced the facility to shut down. Since 1982, the Miami Transit Authority has continuously used the site as a train maintenance yard. Currently, the site is partially asphalt-paved and partially covered with gravel roads. The site also includes partially uncovered land bisected by train tracks. In 1983, EPA listed the site on the NPL.
