Ridge Spring, South Carolina
Hazard Data Summary
Threat Summary
Ridge Spring residents, please know about the Batesburg-Leesville Landfill, 8.9 miles away. This Superfund site holds various dangerous chemicals. These can potentially affect the air you breathe with tiny particles, and contaminate your drinking water, especially if you use a well. Gardening could expose you as plants absorb substances from the soil. Children are more sensitive; their playtime outdoors, where they crawl and touch things, could expose them. Stay updated on local advisories. Protect your family from these potential risks.
