Technical Report · Wed Sep 29 04:00:00 EDT 1993

OSTI ID:5757473

Golden Strip Septic Tank Services, Inc. (GSST), is a 55-acre tract of farm land located near the town of Simpsonville, Greenville County, South Carolina. These lagoons received industrial wastes from a number of facilities from the adjoining five counties between 1960 and 1975. The wastes included inks, caustics, textile dyes, spin finish oil, septic tank wastes, metal plating liquids, dyestuff wastewater, electroplating sludge, and electroplating wastewater from a number of facilities from the adjoining five counties. Site-related contaminants identified as being of concern include organic compounds, pesticides, Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), and metals. Contaminants of concern were detected in on-site soil, surface water and sediments in the lagoons, in the lagoon wastes, and groundwater. The GSST site is classified as being an indeterminate public health hazard due to data gaps identified. Additional sampling is needed to better characterize the extent of contaminant migration and to evaluate the likelihood and possible extent of exposure.
