The Circle Environmental #1 Site is located at 170 5th Street in downtown Dawson, Terrell County, Georgia. The facility consists of a brick/wood-construction warehouse measuring approximately 120 by 60 feet in size.
USEPA received a request from the Georgia Environmental Protection Division to take action at the Site, on September 10, 2007. Reports from the State indicated that the Site is an inactive waste management facility that cleaned oil and solvent tainted wipe rags. The FOSC responded to the faciliy on September 10, 2007, met with local officials, and based upon conditions present at the Site, initiated an Emergency Removal Action.
A total of 536 drums of waste materials were present at the Site. The primary chemicals of concern are tetrachloroethylene, waste oil, and solvent and paint waste.
On December 18, 2007 all remaining drums were transported from the Site for off-site dispsal. Following cleaning of the floor of the building, two 8-hour air samples were collected from the interior of the warehouse and one 8-hour air sample was collected from outside the warehouse. Following collection of the samples, all EPA resources were demobilized from the Site.
On June 19, 2008 Technical Services Section completed review of the air sampling data. The review concluced that all reported concentrations were below or within EPA risk targets. Thus from a risk assessment perspective, no further remediation was required and no landuse or other restrictions were necessary.
