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.
