I have a water well there for consumption. The neighbors buried a burned home on their property approximately 900 ft from the well. The home had lead paint on it and asbestos siding on the exterior. I contacted local codes office regarding burial of these products onsite instead of placing in a lined landfill. I was informed by Chuck Bobo - Laurens county codes officer this is completely legal. I contacted DHEC in Columbia and spoke with Rhonda. Rhonda returned my call to inform me due to this being a private residence it is completely legal to bury this type waste on private property. If this is correct and legal by SOUTH CAROLINA law then who is responsible for ground water and soil contamination. Is it the property owner who was allowed by Laurens county and DHEC to proceed or will the state of S.C. be financially responsible. Interestingly, South Carolina has specific laws regarding these hazardous materials. How can the law allow private owners to dispose of hazardous waste in this manner while prosecuting and fining contractors and businesses for improper disposal.
