Public Health Assessment for Sangamo/Twelve-Mile Creek/Hartwell PCB Pickens, Pickens County, South Carolina, Region 4. CERCLIS No. SCD003354412.

摘要

The Sangamo Weston site has been included on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) National Priorities List (NPL). The site consists of approximately 224 acres of property previously used by Sangamo Weston, Inc. and portions of Twelve Mile Creek and of the Twelve Mile Creek arm of Lake Hartwell. EPA has divided the site into two operational units (OU): OU-1 and OU-2. OU-2 consists of the Twelve Mile Creek/Lake Hartwell watershed and addresses contamination of fish, sediment, and surface water. The health assessment will only address the public health impact from OU-2. Sangamo Weston Inc. had manufactured electrical capacitors at the plant site since 1955; they used polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the manufacturing process until 1977.
