Public Health Assessment for Petitioned Public Health Assessment GSX of SouthCarolina (a/k/a GSX Landfill), Pinewood, Sumter County, South Carolina, Region 4. CERCLIS No. SCD070375985

摘要

The GSX Landfill, is adjacent to Lake Marion, near the town of Rimini, in SumterCounty, South Carolina. Environmental studies identified heavy metals and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in on-site groundwater and on-site surface water and detected particulates (Dusts) and VOCs in on-site air. Periodic groundwater and surface water monitoring have not indicated the release of any contamination resulting from the landfill's activities; no data are currently available for off-site air. Sampling data reviewed by EPA and SCDHEC indicates that all groundwater and surface water contamination on-site is attributable to previous owners' past mining and waste burning operations activities at the site. ATSDR did not identify completed human exposure pathways for the GSX Landfill; however, potential human exposure pathways exist. Using available information, ATSDR concludes that the GSX site is an indeterminate public health hazard. There is no evidence that persons have been exposed to hazardous substances at concentrations likely to cause adverse health effects. However, ATSDR has identified data gaps that limit ATSDR's ability to fully evaluate the site.
