Public Health Assessment for Terry Creek Dredge Spoil Areas/Hercules Outfall Site Brunswick, Glynn County, Georgia. EPA Facility ID: GAD982112658
The Terry Creek Dredge Spoil Areas/Hercules Outfall site (the Terry Creek site) is in the city of Brunswick, Glynn County, Georgia. The site comprises two dredge spoil areas, a mobile home park, and the Hercules Outfall. It was proposed to USEPA's National Priorities List (NPL) on April 1, 1997. The two dredge spoil areas contain contaminated sediments dredged from the Dupree and Terry Creeks and placed in adjacent tidal marshes. The outfall area, which Hercules, Inc.-a former pesticide plant-discharges waste water to Dupree Creek, as well as Terry and Dupree Creeks and adjacent surface water drainage areas, are part of the site. The Hercules, Inc. facility itself, however, is not part of this proposed NPL site. From 1948 through December 1980, Hercules (formerly known as Hercules Powder Company) produced as a major product toxaphene, a polychlorinated camphene (PCC) insecticide. Since 1972, when PCC in waste effluent from the Hercules manufacturing plant in Terry and Dupree Creeks was first restricted the concentration of PCC in environmental samples such as sediment and fish has decreased significantly. In that regard, it is important to note that Terry and Dupree Creeks are used for fishing and crabbing.
