sangamo weston, inc./twelve-mile creek/lake hartwell pcb contamination

SANGAMO RD

The site is located in Pickens, South Carolina, and includes a former capacitor manufacturing plant, six areas used for waste disposal and areas downstream from the plant, including a portion of Twelve Mile Creek and Lake Hartwell. The majority of the manufacturing plant area and the six waste disposal areas are vacant. Residential land uses and undeveloped land surround the site. From 1955 until 1987, Sangamo Weston, Inc. operated a capacitor manufacturing plant at the site. Operations disposed of wastes at the six areas near the plant and discharged wastewater into Town Creek, a tributary of Twelve Mile Creek which is a major tributary of Lake Hartwell. In 1990, EPA listed the site on the NPL. Following cleanup activities, EPA deleted portions of the site from the NPL. As a result of a merger, Sangamo Weston, Inc. became Schlumberger Technology Corporation. In 1999, Schlumberger Technology Corporation donated part of the site property to the City of Pickens. The locality redeveloped the area into a public recreation complex. Following cleanup activities, the manufacturing plant area supports industrial uses and the six areas support residential land uses.
