COLUMBIA, SC The S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control halted the demolition of a building on Catawba Street earlier this week after work crews disturbed soil at the site, which once was the focus of a federal pollution cleanup.
Few details were available Friday afternoon, but DHEC spokesman Jim Beasley said the work stoppage occurred at an old fertilizer site. DHEC ordered a silt fence to be erected in the area of the demolition to keep soil from washing off the property, he said in an email.
On Wednesday, members of our staff were at a nearby site and observed a contractor doing some demolition work at the site on Catawba St, Beasley said in an email to The State. It appeared the building's foundation was being removed, which disturbed soil that is known to be part of the former Columbia Fertilizer site. Demolition was halted and a silt fence erected to prevent soil from leaving that property.
An EPA directed pollution cleanup occurred in the area in 2010. It was unclear Friday if DHEC had concerns about any lingering contamination of the property where the building was being torn down. The building is in the area of the 700 block of Catawba Street between Assembly and Huger streets.

DHEC stops work on building demolition
Demolition of the residential red zone is behind schedule - but the Government has a plan.
New figures show about 38 per cent of the nearly 8000 homes in the Canterbury residential red zone have been demolished.
The Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (Cera) had hoped to demolish 3000 homes by June this year, but this target was not reached until September due to insurance delays.
Implementation deputy director Baden Ewart said the clearance process was slower than expected.
"We have all wished this could be faster. We want this to double in pace by the end of the year," he said.
"This process has had its challenges. We are now in a place where we can get in and clear that land. Now we can get the engine going and get the properties off the land."
Cera has agreements in principal with insurance companies for a plan they hope will accelerate demolition. Cera, EQC and insurance companies will focus on one area at a time so about 15 homes can be cleared for demolition in one go. The approach has been trialled on three sites and tenders for wholesale demolition will go out soon.
Ewart said he hoped they would be demolishing about 100 homes a week by the end of the year. For the 12 months to September, about 40 homes have been demolished a week on average. The average since demolition began in January 2011 is about 23 homes a week.
Cera has a target of 5,000 homes demolished on flat land by June next year, with the remainder of flat land homes demolished by the end of 2014. Port Hills clearance will take until the end of 2015 at the earliest.
"The time taken has been necessary because of the way insurance contracts work and the offers were voluntary so people needed time. We would have liked to have got the work underway quicker," said Ewart.

MANTIN (Oct 31): DAP's Seremban MP Anthony Loke and Rasah MP Teo Kok Seong were among about 20 people arrested here this morning as the demolition of the Kampung Hakka historic village started.
A total of six houses and a community hall were brough down by the authorities.
Negeri Sembilan assemblypersons P Gunasekaran (Senawang), Ng Chin Tsai (Temiang), Chew Seh Yong (Bahau) and Arul Jambunathan (Nilai) were among those held by police.
Also picked up were PSM secretary-general S Arutchelvan and Suaram executive director Nalini Elumalai.
Artutchelvan and Seremban PSM committee member S Gandhi were the first to be arrested and taken away in a police vehicle after they tried to stall the destruction.
Villagers, who were served with demolition notices by property developer Mega 9 Sdn. Bhd. yesterday, stood guard outside their homes from early morning.
At 9.30 am, police officers cordoned off the place with yellow tape.
Half an hour later, police ordered non-residents to evacuate the premises.
After a stand off, authorities moved in to tear down an empty house and then tore down another house.

#Update* Demolition begins in Kg Hakka, MPs among 20 people arrested; stay granted
FLINT (WJRT) -
(10/31/13) - Demolition began Thursday on the old Flint Journal printing facility to make room for the new Flint Farmers' Market.
The new market is set to open, rain or shine, on May 1.
Organizers and most vendors ABC12 talked to are excited to be making progress on the big move.
"Looks like they're tearing down a building doesn't it? This is very exciting though, because we have said that the market's going to be open May 1, and this is the first step and getting it down that road," said Dick Ramsdell, Farmers Market manager.
About six months from opening day, Ramsdell says demolition crews just starting tearing down just the west side of the old printing facility to make room for more parking.
"Lots and lots of folks have told us they don't think there's enough parking down here. There actually was. And actually I think the atmosphere will be much more like a market on that east side of the building," Ramsdell said.
The new market will have more than twice as much indoor space as the current market, with the old printing facility's atrium as the centerpiece - but there's more to it than that.
"A lot of folks have the misconception that it's just going to be an indoor market, and it's not. We will be able to have room to bring the outside pavilion right down First Street," Ramsdell said.
Right now, the market has 33 vendors. The new facility has 46 committed and is still looking for a few more.

Demolition underway at Flint Journal printing facility
McHENRY A long vacant property identified by the city as it developed its newest incentive program is set to be demolished.
The property owner, Terry Wilborn, submitted demolition requests for the former office building at 4719 W. Elm St. and a vacant house at 4909 W. Elm St., a lot that is now zoned commercial.
The Landmark Commission will review the requests at its meeting Tuesday. The meeting starts at 7 p.m. in the classroom at the McHenry Municipal Center, 333 Green St.
All demolition requests must go before the Landmark Commission, which will review the buildings for historical significance, if any. If the Landmark Commission approves the demolition, the request does not need to go before the City Council.
Both properties are in poor condition, Deputy City Administrator Doug Martin said. The office building sustained water damage, and the house is "dilapidated."
The demolitions are not in preparation for any particular project that Martin is aware of, he said. Wilborn has not filed a building permit for a subsequent project with the city.
If the demolition was part of a larger project that centered around the opening of a new business or residential building or the expansion of an existing business, it might have qualified for the city's newest incentive program.
The initiative was developed with the properties located along Route 120 between Meadow Lane and Ringwood Road in mind. The former office building was one of the properties pointed to when the idea was initially proposed a year and a half ago.
No applications have been submitted to the city since the council approved the program in June 2012.
Applications are evaluated on the amount of sales or property tax that would be generated, financial feasibility and if safety improvements are included and require council approval.
