6 1212 13th Street, Lubbock, Texas Office building Unknown Yes-June 14, 2000 No An EPA database compiled from W.R. Grace shipping invoices did not contain any records indicating Libby ore was shipped to this site. However, this company did appear on a list of W.R. Grace licensees and industry partners. EPA found an address for Southwest Vermiculite in a 1975 phone book. EPA visited the address and found an office building that had been constructed in 1930. EPA concluded that this was an office-only location for Southwest Vermiculite and no manufacturing had taken place at this site. EPA determined no further action was needed.
