| 4 | 1 Union Street, Brunswick, Georgia | Gypsum board manufacturer | Unknown | Yes—exact date of visit unknown but occurred in 2000 | Unknown | 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 facility did appear on a list of W.R. Grace licensees and industry partners. Available documentation indicated that EPA visited this site, completed its evaluation, and decided no further action was needed. EPA did not have documentation indicating whether sampling was conducted. No documentation was available about the basis for EPA's decision to take no further action after it inspected this site in 2000. As a part of EPA's response to GAO's inquiry about sites that received Libby ore, EPA determined that, as of July 2006, this facility was operating and was subject to requirements of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA also found that the state of Georgia inspected this facility under RCRA in 1994 and did not find any violations. |
