Site Description

This chrome-electroplater is located at 5491 Powder Springs Road, Austell, Georgia.  On September 24, 2009, this area experienced high flood waters reaching the roof of the facility as evidenced by water marks and a drum on the roof of the building.  Sweetwater Creek is adjacent to the property.  The site includes two open warehouses and an office trailer, which were severely damaged by the flood.  Outside of the warehouses there are two concrete pits, one circular and one rectangular, both containing liquid.  These pits are believed to be part of the facility’s waste water treatment system.


Current Activities

As of January 20, 2010, all chemical containers and overpacks, all bulked  liquids and solid contamination from within the buildings on Site have  been removed and properly disposed of.  The Site is currently fenced and approrpiate EPA notifications have been posted for public information access.  

EPA' s Technical Supoort Section (TSS) had provided a risk determination for this Site.  The risk determination can be found in the documents section of the website.


Planned Removal Actions

EPA is currently processing an Action Memorandum to conduct a proposed removal action if approved.  Upon approval of such action additional action and updates will be posted.
