| Abstract |
The Palmetto Wood Preserving (PWP) Site is located in the rural community of Dixiana, South Carolina. The 5-acre site is a decommissioned wood preserving facility which operated between 1963 and 1985. PWP began operating in 1963 using a fluoride-chromate arsenate-phenol (FCAP) and an acid-copper-chromate (ACC) process. In 1980, Eastern Forest Products took over and switched to a chromate-copper-arsenate (CCA) process. Operations consisted of impregnating wood with a CCA solution under high pressure, and allowing the wood to drip-dry under normal conditions. Beginning in December 1981, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) received complaints of green liquids running off the PWP site during heavy rainfall. Subsequent soil sampling conducted by SCDHEC indicated the presence of high concentrations of chromium. Pentachlorophenol (PCP) and dinitrophenol residues were also detected. Well water sampling showed no evidence of contamination. In April 1983, a private well was found to contain high levels of chromium and copper. As a result of the findings, SCDHEC issued a Consent Order requesting Palmetto Wood Preserving to determine the extent of soil and ground water contamination. Primary contaminants of concern include chromium and arsenic. |
