Overview
Flakeboard Russellville Particleboard Plant is an operational pulp and paper facility in Russellville, South Carolina. It manufactures particleboard under NAICS 321219, serving the engineered wood products sector.
Flakeboard Russellville Particleboard Plant is an operational industrial facility located at 1118 Russell Store Road in Russellville, Berkeley County, South Carolina. The plant operates in the pulp and paper sector, specifically producing particleboard under NAICS code 321219 (Reconstituted Wood Product Manufacturing). As a particleboard facility, it is part of the engineered wood products industry, which processes wood residues and adhesives into panel products. The facility operates under U.S. environmental regulations administered by the EPA, including the Clean Air Act (CAA) for emissions from dryers and presses, the Clean Water Act (CWA) for process wastewater and stormwater discharges, and RCRA for hazardous waste management. As a wood products manufacturer, it may also be subject to TRI Section 313 reporting for chemicals like formaldehyde and methanol. The plant's scale is typical for a medium-sized particleboard operation in the southeastern United States, a region with a strong forestry and wood products industry. Particleboard production involves drying and blending wood particles with resin binders, then pressing into panels. The plant's environmental significance includes potential air emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particulate matter, as well as water use for cooling and cleaning. Its location in rural Berkeley County places it near forest resources and transportation networks, supporting the regional wood products supply chain.
Environmental context
The plant is situated in the coastal plain of South Carolina, an area with extensive pine forests that supply raw materials for wood products. The region's humid subtropical climate can influence air dispersion and water management. Proximity to the Cooper River and Lake Moultrie may affect local water resources. The facility's emissions of VOCs and formaldehyde from resin curing are typical for particleboard manufacturing, and its wastewater may contain organic compounds and suspended solids. Community proximity is moderate, with Russellville being a small town.
