1.1.2 Site Description
The site of the former American Screw and Rivet. The site contains a one story building were the company
manufactured steel screws and rivets. The site is on the outskirts of the City of Anderson and sits in a wooded area surrounded by residences and light indudtrial facilities.
1.1.2.1 Location
1625 Manse Jolly Road in Anderson, Anderson County, South Carolina.
1.1.2.2 Description of Threat
Site contains poly tanks, drums and other containers some of which are exposed to the elements and show evidence of structural degradation. Some containers are leaking why others have spilled their contents. The roof is badly deteriorated and rain drains into the interior of the building through ruptured areas and other apertures. Totes and drums are found exposed to the elements and without any containment. Evidence of spilled materials are present throughout the interior of building and evidence of uncontrolled migration onto the environment is present. The site drains towards a pond that sits on the property and is part of the drainage basin for Lake Hartwell.
1.1.3 Preliminary Removal Assessment/Removal Site Inspection Results
Approximately 250 containers including poly totes, drums, cardboard drums and containers, bags pails and others have been identified. Preliminary hazardous categorization analysis has revealed flammable and corrosive liquids. Approximately 44 poly totes containing unknown liquids with a pH ranges between 9 and 10 have been identified. Another 30 totes contain unknown liquids with a pH of 2 have been identified.
