DHEC Surface Water Sampling Event

In response to community concerns that contamination from the
Plantation Pipe Line petroleum release had
migrated downstream,
DHEC coordinated a surface water sampling event with Anderson
County and the contractor for
Plantation Pipe Line, CH2M. On
February 28, 2017, DHEC collected surface water samples to
determine if
contaminants related to the petroleum release had
migrated downstream to Broadway Lake. Representatives from
Plantation Pipe Line and Anderson County's Stormwater
Management Department also participated in the sampling
event.
All samples collected by DHEC were split with Anderson County
and CH2M. Plantation Pipe Line collected
samples from all
sampling locations shown on Map 1 as part of its ongoing
assessment, monitoring, and cleanup of
the site.

Map 2. DHEC surface water
sampling locations
DHEC collected samples from 23 locations (shown on Map 1 and
Map 2) near the release site and downstream of the
release site, to
include Broadway Lake, Brown's Creek, Broadway Creek,
Cupboard Creek, East Rock Creek, and Pea
Creek. Two sampling
locations in Cupboard Creek (SW-5 and SW-6, shown on Map 1)
were not sampled, as they were
dry. Samples were collected from
a tributary of Cupboard Creek further downstream of the site (SW103, SW-104,
and SW-107, shown on Map 2).

DHEC, Anderson County, and CH2M each chose different certified
04/
laboratories to analyze the samples. All surface
water samples
d
collected by DHEC were analyzed by PACE Analyticale standard
w for
e
contaminants typically found in
petroleum releases.

Results from this surface water sampling event detected
1
contaminants in three locations in Brown's Creek: SW-1,
SW-2,
17.
and SW-12 (shown on No 1). These locations are included in
Map
Plantation Pipe Line's routine sampling as
part of the ongoing site
assessment and cleanup; the results from this sampling event are
consistent with data
from prior sampling events. The contaminants
found at these locations are expected to decrease over time with
the operation of the biosparging
and aeration systems . Toluene
was also detected in one sample further downstream (SW-104,
shown on Map
2). Toluene is found in petroleum, as well as many
household items. The level of toluene detected is
substantially
below any health-based benchmarks.
DHEC's data from this sampling event did not detect
petroleum contaminants above risk-based
screening levels
downstream from the release site to Broadway Lake.
All analysis results of surface water samples collected by DHEC
are listed below. For comparison, the first
table also lists action
levels and risk-based screening levels, as well as regulatory
standards that are
established to manage and protect the quality of
South Carolina's surface water.
