Public health assessment for petitioned public health assessment, Escambia Brunswick Wood (a/k/a Brunswick Wood Preserving), Brunswick, Glynn County, Georgia, Region 4. CERCLIS Number GAD981024466; Final report
Brunswick Wood Preserving (BWP) is in Brunswick, Glynn County, in eastern Georgia. Both owners of the site manufactured wooden poles and pilings, which were treated with creosote and solutions of pentachlorophenate. This activity, as well as improper storage and disposal practices, lead to the contamination of several environmental media with chromated copper arsenate (CCA), pentachlorophenol (PCP), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH`s), and dioxin. The site is categorized as an indeterminant public health hazard based upon data reviewed and observations made by ATSDR. This conclusion category was selected because the extent and magnitude of groundwater contamination and the extent of contamination in Burnett Creek have not been fully characterized. Data reviewed for this public health assessment does not indicate that exposure to chemicals at levels of concern is occurring.
