The Palmetto Recycling Incorporated (PRI) site consists of 1.5 acres of land on Koon Store Road, in a rural area approximately 8 miles north of Columbia in Richland County, South Carolina. The main sources of contamination appear to come from liquids and sludges generated as a result of a lead reclamation operations. Contaminants of concern were identified in on-site soils, surface water, groundwater and in off-site soil, groundwater, surface water, and sediments. Contaminants of concern include: arsenic, iron, manganese, and lead. The PRI site is classified as a public health hazard. This classification is based on the fact that the available data indicate humans may be exposed to substances in on-site and off-site soil that, after long-term exposures, can cause adverse health effects.
