Technical Report · Wed Aug 08 00:00:00 EDT 1990

OSTI ID:6275973

The Benfield Industries National Priorities List (NPL) site is located within the city of Hazelwood, in southwestern North Carolina. The Benfield facility was a small commercial chemical packaging plant. Chemicals were dumped onto the ground at the plant during operations. The facility was destroyed by fire in April 1982. Several community health concerns were reported to county and State environmental health agencies from 1979 to 1982. Residents of the community expressed concerns regarding migration of chemical vapors from the site, dumping of chemicals onto the ground, smoke inhalation during the fire in 1982, and potential impacts of contaminants on children living near the facility. ATSDR has determined that this site is not of public health concern at this time since there is no known current human exposure to hazardous substances. A Health Study is not being considered due to the low potential for human exposure to hazardous substances at the site.
