Chrome Plating 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.
ERRS:
ER personnel removed soil from the vicinity of the trailer, paint booth building, and the vacant building east of the plating area. A total of approximately 10 cubic yards of soil were removed and stockpiled on plastic sheeting for future characterization and disposal.
