Technical Report · Wed Jun 23 00:00:00 EDT 1993

OSTI ID:6207075

The Wamchem site is located on US Highway 21, near the town of Beaufort, Beaufort County, South Carolina. Wamchem was formerly an intermediate dye products research and production facility. The plant disposed of materials to sprayfields, unlined waste ponds, and McCalley's Creek. Sampling data show contamination of groundwater, on-site soil, and off-site stream sediments. The authors recommend the remediation of contaminated media, that periodic sampling of groundwater, surface water, and sediments be conducted, and that site access be restricted. ATSDR's Health Activities Recommendation Panel (HARP) has determined that no follow-up health activities are indicated at this time.
