SITE BACKGROUND 

The U.S. Government Defense Plant Corporation created the Trentwood facility in 1942 to produce aluminum for World War II aircraft. In 1946 Kaiser leased the facility and later purchased it along with the property. Trentwood currently produces aluminum sheet, plate, and coil for aerospace and general engineering applications.

Materials used in past aluminum production included PCB oil, petroleum fuels, solvents, and chromium. Wastes generated as a result of past or present operations consist of wastewaters, chrome sludge, paint and solvent wastes, and black dross.

The West Discharge Ravine where current cleanup is proposed was used as a wastewater conveyance from 1942 until about 1973 when wastewater treatment facilities were upgraded.  Cleanup in this area focuses on PCBs and petroleum in soil.
