BENEDICT RD & ROUTE 25

The 16.5-acre site is located in Brunswick, Glynn County, Georgia, approximately two miles south of Interstate 95. The site includes a 7-acre inactive landfill. Site surroundings include commercial and residential land uses. An automobile dealership borders the site to the north; a forested area, several residences, a church, a school and a shopping center border the site to the south and east; and a road borders the site to the west. Altama Elementary School is located northeast of the site. EPA sampled soil from school grounds and determined that site contamination did not affect the school. In addition, three other Superfund sites are located in Brunswick. These include the Brunswick Wood Preserving site, the LCP Chemicals Georgia site and the Terry Creek Dredge Spoil Area / Hercules Outfall site. From 1948 to 1980, a pesticide manufacturing facility and a landfill operated at the site. Operations disposed of wastewater from manufacturing processes at the 7-acre landfill on site. The landfill also received drums, glassware and other waste. Operations at the site ended in 1982. In 1984, EPA listed the site on the NPL. Currently, the automobile dealership located next to the site uses a large portion of the site as a paved parking lot.
