Officials reviewing health risks
in Scotland waste plant proposal
State officials are checking for
possible health risks to surround
ing communities if a hazardous
waste treatment plant were to be
built beside the Laurinburg
Maxton Airport in Scotland Coun
ty
The risk assessment is the final
hurdle for Maryland-based GSX
Services Inc., said William L.
Meyer, head of the N.C. Depart
ment of Human Resources' solid
and hazardous-waste manage
ment branch. He said a prelimi
nary decision on the permit would
be announced Nov. 17.
If approved, a public hearing
would be held in January and a
final decision probably would be
made in March, officials said.
EUer Pulaski, chief engineer
for the state reviewing a proposal
by GSX, said Thursday that tn
company had met or exceeded
requirements on a state checklist
for hazardous-waste storage,
treatment and disposal. GSX also
has passed a background investi
gation, Ms. Pulaski said.
Some government officials and
residents of Scotland and Robeson
counties have opposed the plant
and are asking the state to reject
the application. About 50 residents
voiced their opposition before the
Governor's Waste Management
Board Aug. 22. The residents said
the water they use is some of the
. most clean in the state.
The company has applied for a
permit to treat up to 400 chemi
cals. Under the GSX proposal, the
plant would treat the waste and
discharge it into the Laurinburg
Maxton wastewater treatment
plant. From there, it would be
discharged into the Lumber Riv
er. ?
But North Carolina has no regu
latory levels for disposal into
drinking water sources for about
half of the chemicals, Mrs. Pulas
ki said.
State officials are evaluating
treatment processes and assess
ing the health risks for each
chemical the company proposes
to handle.
Meyer said the state would
determine at what levels each
chemical could be discharged into
the Lumber River and give resi
dents who drink the water no
more than a one-in-a-million
chance of contracting a disease.
He said conservative standards
would be set using "the best
published data."
"This is the first of Its kind in.
that this is a very extensive
facility, a very large facility and a
state-of-the art facility," Mrs.
Pulaski said. "Most treatment
facilities use one treatment pro
cess, while GSX is proposing to
treat a diversity of chemicals
using seven different processes."
According to the permit appli
cation, the facility initially would
treat 50,000 gallons of industrial
and institutional chemicals and
chemical byproducts each day,
with a maximum capacity of
800,000 gallons a day.
The application says GSX will
not accept any explosive, shock
sensitive, radioactive, PCB, diox
in-containing, infectious, patho
genic (disease producing) or un
identified wastes. There are no
plans for landfills or incinerator
units at the facility, and wastes
win be on the site for fewer than 10
days, the permit application says.
