CEDAR SPRINGS RD
The site is part of a 500-acre property five miles south of Salisbury, Rowan County, North Carolina, approximately 40 miles northeast of Charlotte. Contamination affected a 20-acre area. The site includes two active chemical manufacturing facilities that have operated since 1970. The facilities manufacture chemicals for the textile and furniture industries. Previously, their operations also included the discharge of 350,000 gallons of liquid waste into unlined trenches in a 2-acre area on site. Residential and industrial land uses border the site. An industrial park borders the site to the south and east. A mobile home park borders the site to the southwest and a housing development borders the site to the north. The nearest residence is approximately 1,500 feet from the sources of contamination at the site. The nearest private, potable well is located on the northern portion of the site. Two separate tributaries of Grants Creek are located in the southwest and northeast areas of the site. In 1989, EPA listed the site on the NPL. Chemical manufacturing facilities continue to operate on site. Fencing surrounds the site to limit access.
