Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7244810
The Sangamo-Weston/12-Mile Creek/Lake Hartwell Site has been listed on the National Priorities List. In 1975, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) disposal by and runoff from the Sangamo electroplating and manufacturing facility was discovered. PCB contamination has been identified in seven dumps, portions of Lake Hartwell, tributaries and the basin of the Twelve-Mile Creek, and essentially countywide. To date, sampling has shown PCBs in surface water, fish flesh, and soil and sediment. No information is available about physical hazards for the site. 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.
