The homes located near the site are serviced by a public water supply. Most of the surrounding property is dedicated to real estate development. A spring is located in the southwestern portion of the site. The resulting stream is an unnamed tributary of Gilder Creek. Gilder Creek flows west to east approximately 1,100 feet north of the site into the Enoree River approximately eight miles downstream.
Land surrounding the unnamed tributary is undeveloped.
The unnamed tributary has insufficient flow to support fish. Since there are no known completed exposure pathways at the GSST site, evaluation of health outcome data is not warranted at this time. Residents were concerned about the possible health effects associated with the use of their drinking water. In 1990, area residents signed a petition requesting that the town of Simpsonville provide them with municipal water. Concerned citizens reported two deaths caused by cancer prior to 1989.
