OSTI ID:7168568

The Golden Strip Septic Tank Service, Inc. Site is on the National Priorities List of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. It consists of five abandoned waste disposal lagoons covering 2 acres on a farm near Greenville, South Carolina. Environmental sampling to date indicates that the contaminants of concern are primarily heavy metals (e.g. chromium, cadmium, lead, and zinc) reaching from the lagoons into the groundwater. Sludge from one of the lagoons also contained 11,000 mg/kg cyanide. Based on the available information, the site is considered to be of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the possibility of exposure to hazardous substances.
