DIXIANNA RD

The 5-acre site is located on Dixiana Road in the rural community of Dixiana in northeastern South Carolina, approximately one-and-a-half miles southeast of West Columbia, four miles south of Cayce and six miles southwest of Columbia. The site includes the former wood preserving facility and two adjacent areas, which are 3.6 acres and 1.3 acres in size. Undeveloped land borders the site to the north, south and west. Residences border the site to the northeast and east. Site surroundings include single-family homes, which include low-income residents, and light industrial businesses. From 1963 until 1985, a wood preserving facility operated at the site. In 1984, EPA listed the site on the NPL. When operations ended in 1985, EPA removed all equipment and structures from the site. The site is currently vacant.
