Questionable laboratory practices contributed to high levels of mercury, silver, cadmium, DDT, and other hazardous chemicals found in soil tests. The practices and contamination have been known for at least five years and there is some evidence to suggest that officials knew about contamination for longer and did nothing about it. The state is trying to sell the property.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Attorney General’s office has asked the Environmental Protection Agency to withdraw the order to consider whether to revoke the state’s authority to regulate hazardous waste. Issues arose from GSX Chemical Services, Inc. and the Hazardous Waste Treatment Council alleging that the law discriminates against commercial hazardous waste treatment facilities and makes it impossible for new commercial facilities to be permitted in the state.
