Public health assessment for Para-Chem Southern, Inc. , Simpsonville, Greenville County, South Carolina, Region 4. Cerclis No. SCD002601656. Preliminary report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7141916
Para-Chem Southern, Inc. (PCS), is a chemical manufacturing plant located between the towns of Simpsonville and Fountain Inn in Greenville, South Carolina. In 1985, PCS reported to the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region IV, Atlanta, that they had buried drums of hazardous waste on their property between 1975 and 1979. Currently available data identify various organic and inorganic compounds that were disposed of at the site. This site is classified as an indeterminant public health hazard due to the uncertainty of human exposure to groundwater contamination on-site and off-site. Currently available evidence does not conclusively demonstrate exposures to any individual or group of individuals from site-related contaminants. Since no individuals are currently known to be exposed to contaminants, there are no health effects expected at the present time.
