What this means now
The story
Georgia EPD issued a draft renewal of Union Carbide's Hazardous Waste Facility Permit HW-063(D) in March 2025, covering post-closure care for a landfill closed with up to 314 acre-feet of waste in place, a corrective action program for solid waste management units and areas of concern, and an amendment reducing the facility's footprint by parceling off areas where corrective action had been completed.
In May 2026, Union Carbide Corporation submitted a Class 3 modification application for the same post-closure care and corrective action permit at its Woodbine facility. The application proposes collecting groundwater samples annually rather than semiannually and refining the monitoring well network to locations the company says are necessary to meet monitoring objectives under federal rules.
