SITE DESCRIPTION

The Evergreen Aluminum Smelter site is located at 5701 Lower River Road in Vancouver, WA.  The site consists of the smelter potrooms and surrounding support buildings.  The Evergreen smelter stands in the middle of a larger site owned by Alcoa.  The smelter was constructed during World War II and supplied aluminum to the war effort. 

Evergreen Aluminum has reviewed the site’s land use history and identified areas of confirmed or suspect contamination.  The areas are contaminated with polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, petroleum hydrocarbons and fluoride.  This Enforcement Order requires Evergreen to submit a sampling plan for investigating those areas and then once cleanup standards are established begin the removal of contaminated soils.  Evergreen Aluminum proposes to cleanup the contamination and sell the property to the Port of Vancouver at the conclusion of the cleanup.  Both Evergreen Aluminum and Alcoa will enter into a Consent Decree to carry out the clean up of the complete site prior the sale to the Port of Vancouver.
