COURETON FERRY RD

The 7-acre site is located in a rural area of Rock Hill on Cureton Ferry Road, near Highway 697, approximately one half-mile east of Catawba, York County, South Carolina. A rail line borders the Site to the north, industrial land uses border the Site to the south, Ferry Branch Creek borders the Site to the east, and undeveloped land borders the Site to the west. The site’s broader surroundings include agricultural and industrial land uses and forested areas. The Site includes the area where Leonard Chemical Company operated a hazardous waste treatment facility from the late 1960s to 1982. Operations included separating wastes through boiling and placing residues from this process in various locations on site. Operations left approximately 3,400 drums and 11,500 gallons of chemicals on site, including solvents, printing inks, polyester solids, wastes resulting from solvent boiling and filters for paint, water and fiberglass. In 1984, EPA listed the Site on the NPL. The Site is not in use. Fencing surrounds the site and restricts access. Following cleanup activities, the site will be able to support industrial and residential uses.
