Description:
The Browns' Dump site encompasses approximately 50 acres in Duval County, Florida. From 1949 to 1955, the city of Jacksonville disposed of municipal solid waste and municipal incinerator ash at the site. In 1955, the Duval County School Board (DCSB), formerly the County Board of Public Instruction, built the Mary McLeod Bethune Elementary School on 14 acres in the central portion of the site. The Jacksonville Electric Authority electrical substation occupies about 2 acres in the northeastern portion of the site. The site includes residential areas such as the Bessie Circle apartments to the west of the elementary school and the Moncrief Village and Palm Terrace apartment complexes in the northern part of the site. Moncrief Creek runs through the northwestern part of the site.
According to the 1990 Census, approximately 3,930 people (6% white, 90% black, 1.5% Hispanic, and 2.5% other) live within one-half mile of the site. About 16% of the population is under the age of 9 and 18% of the population is over the age of 65. About 48% of the population over age 25 graduated from high school. About 37% have less than a 9th-grade education. The median family income is about $17,814. Eighty-five percent of the housing units are occupied (Bureau of Census, 1990).
The area around the site is residential. The Mary McLeod Bethune Elementary School is on the site (closed after the 2000/2001 school year) and seven child care centers are within one-half mile of the site (Bureau of Census, 1990).
