Exposure status: insufficient data

About this site’s exposure pathways: As of September 2024, there is insufficient information to determine the site-wide Human Exposure Control status at the Burlington Industries Cheraw Superfund Site. The site was listed on the National Priorities List (NPL) on 17 May 2018. A removal action has been completed under an Administrative Order with the Potentially Responsible Party (PRP). Removal activities consisted of excavation of soil and sediment contaminated with Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) in the Highland Industries property, a segment of the nearby ditch (approximately 1900 feet long), a section of the ditch adjacent to Pecan Dr., and Huckleberry Park. There is insufficient data to determine the human exposure site status because no comprehensive evaluation of the human health exposure pathways has been conducted yet. In July 2021, the PRPs began the Remedial Investigation (RI) which will include the data collection to conduct a full site-wide Human Health Risk Assessment. As of September 2024, RI part 1 and 2 of 3 were completed. The PRP will submit the Draft RI Report (including the Human Health Risk Assessment report), and this will feed into the Record of Decision (ROD) which is due to be final in December 2026

Data limitations: Proximity to a Superfund site boundary does not mean your property is contaminated. EPA site boundaries show the area designated for cleanup, not the full extent of contamination. Groundwater plumes can extend beyond site boundaries. This tool shows publicly available EPA federal data.
