Columbia Gorge Aluminum - aka Goldendale Aluminum, Columbia, Commonwealth, Martin Marietta, Harvey|
Location & History Columbia Gorge Aluminum LLC operates a primary aluminum smelter on a portion of 7000 acres along the Columbia River beside the John Day Dam. Harvey Aluminum began aluminum smelting operations in 1970. Martin Marietta purchased the facility in 1971 and operated it until 1985. It was then purchased by Commonwealth Aluminum which operated the smelter until 1987. After one-half year of inactivity, Columbia Aluminum purchased and restarted the plant. The plant was later sold to a private party operating the facility as Goldendale Aluminum Company. The company is now operated under the name Columbia Gorge Aluminum LLC. The present facility consists of: carbon paste plant, four reduction cell lines, a casthouse, a laboratory, administrative offices, and a sewage treatment plant. Goldendale has one wastewater discharge outfall that empties, after treatment, directly into the Columbia River. Capacities: The company can produce approximately 178,000 tons of aluminum and aluminum alloys per year. Facility Site Number: 95415874 Location and Mailing address:
