Kaiser Trentwood
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.
