OSTI ID:5081214

The Leonard Chemical Company (LCC) site covers approximately 6 acres of land in an industrial area about 1/2 mile east of Catawba and 9 miles southeast of Rock Hill, South Carolina. LCC provided waste solvent treatment, storage, and disposal services. The waste solvents were generated by cleaning processes and contained alcohols, ketones, and chlorinated hydrocarbons. Contaminants were identified in on-site soils and groundwater and in off-site groundwater, surface water, and sediments. No off-site soil samples were collected. Contaminants of concern at the LCC site include: acetone, arsenic, bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, cadmium, chromium, copper, 4,4'-DDT, 1,2-dichlroethane, dimethyl phthalate, iron, isophorone, lead, methylene chloride, methy-ethyl-ketone, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), tetrachloroethene, toluene, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, 1,1,2-trichloroethane, and vinyl chloride. The LCC site is classified as being an indeterminate public health hazard. The classification was based on the fact that the available data do not indicate that humans are being or have been exposed to levels of contaminants that could be expected to cause adverse health effects.
