INDUSTRY DRIVE
The 13-acre site is located at 620 West Industry Drive, two miles southwest of downtown Oxford in Granville County, North Carolina. The site includes the concrete slabs and foundations of two industrial buildings, the former Channel Master main building and the former Bandag Warehouse building. Pine Tree Road borders the site to the north. West Industry Drive borders the site to the west. A Norfolk Southern rail line borders the site to the south. A residential area borders the site to the east. The residential area includes homes and an apartment complex, which includes low-income and minority residents. From 1961 to 1984, an antenna, amplifier and booster manufacturing facility operated at the site. Beginning in 1964, operations disposed of sludge generated by treating wastewater from conversion and electroplating processes, primarily rinse water from a chromate conversion process and copper/nickel electroplating into an on-site lagoon covering approximately 23,400 square feet. In 1989, EPA listed the site on the NPL. From 1984 to 2003, a packaging and distribution facility for electronic parts operated at the site. In 2008, buildings on site were demolished. The site is not in use, except for ongoing ground water treatment activities. The concrete slabs and foundations from the former facilities remain on site. Zoning limits the site to industrial land use. The North Carolina well permitting statute prohibits access to ground water within the plume of contamination.
