4 | 255 River Farm Road, Woodruff, South Carolina | Milling | Unknown | Yes-June 6, 2001 | Yes | An EPA database compiled from W.R. Grace shipping invoices did not contain any records indicating Libby ore was shipped to this site. At the time of EPA's visit, all of the vermiculite ore processed at this facility was locally mined. This company produced concentrated vermiculite and sold it to other companies. The company did not operate an exfoliation plant. EPA collected five samples, which included samples of the stockpiled ore and concentrated ore, at the site on June 6, 2001, and none of the samples contained detectable levels of asbestos when analyzed using polarized light microscopy (PLM). EPA decided no further action was needed at this site. |
