It has not been formally disseminated by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. It does not represent and should not be construed to represent any agency determination or policy.
The Holcomb Creosote Company site (EPA ID: NCD024900987) was listed on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) National Priorities List (NPL) in 2012. The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) is authorized to evaluate public health issues at NPL sites. In North Carolina, these evaluations are conducted through an ATSDR cooperative agreement program with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Division of Public Health (DPH). DPH is evaluating this site because of its listing on the NPL. The DPH’s top priority is to make sure the community near the Holcomb Creosote NPL site has the best information available to protect its health.
Holcomb Creosote Company operated as a coal-tar creosote wood- treating facility from 1951 to 2009. Operations at the site contaminated soil, sediment, surface water, groundwater and fish on and adjacent to the site, including in Dobbins Pond. In 2011, EPA performed an emergency remedial action to control the release of hazardous substances from the site. This assessment evaluated surface soil, sediment, surface water, well water and fish data that EPA and the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) collected prior to and following the EPA’s remedial activities in 2011 to address past, present and future exposures to residents living near the site.
