SPARTANBURG HWY

The site includes two separate disposal areas in East Flat Rock, Henderson County, North Carolina. The 110-acre GE Lighting Systems facility area is located at the southeastern corner of Spartanburg Highway (U.S. Highway 176) and Tabor Road. The 31-acre Shepherd Farm area is located on Roper Road, 1,200 feet west of Spartanburg Highway and southwest of the GE Lighting Systems facility. The GE Lighting Systems facility area includes an active manufacturing facility, a warehouse, eight plots formerly used for waste disposal, two unlined waste treatment ponds, a sludge impoundment, two former landfills and a recreation center. The Shepherd Farm area includes 125 manufactured homes, a residence and agricultural land. Residential areas, commercial businesses and agricultural land surround the site. Since 1955, GE has manufactured several types of luminaire systems at the GE Lighting Systems facility. From 1955 until 1975, transformer production operations produced wastes. From 1957 to 1970, operations disposed of wastes on site and in a dry pond on the Shepherd Farm area. In 1994, EPA listed the site on the NPL. Currently, the manufacturing facility continues to operate at the site.
