Custom Plywood Mill Site

SITE DESCRIPTION

A waterfront site in Anacortes that was used as a mill and box factory, Custom Plywood Mill will be investigated for cleanup under the state’s Puget Sound Initiative. The site is currently vacant property with abandoned building remnants and debris. A sawmill and wood-box factory, and then a plywood mill, operated on the site for almost a century. Mill features included a hog-fuel boiler, drum storage tank area, transformer yard, above-ground storage tanks containing fuel oil, gasoline, diesel and/or propane, phenolic formaldehyde resin and caustic storage tanks (both used in making plywood glue), a machine shop, a metal shop, and an area for spraying paint and oil.
