See Figure 1 in Appendix A for a map of the area. The furnaces were likely fueled by natural gas from nearby wells. Large amounts of ore were stored in the northeastern area of the site. The majority of the facility structures have been demolished. The site is currently covered with approximately 30,000 cubic yards of waste consisting of broken retorts, condensers, slag, building debris, ash, bricks, and other materials derived from the smelting operations.
Vegetation is sparse on most of the site.
A home exists on-site near the former office building and has been occupied since 1935. See Figure 2 for a sketch of the site. Although the site has a fence on one side, access is possible. A number of visits and investigations have been conducted by the ODEQ for this site. Waste from smelter activity covers most of the site.
