The West Fork River Assessment site encompasses an approximately one-quarter mile long portion of the West Fork River banks and channel in the “North View” area of Clarksburg, Harrison County, West Virginia. The site is bounded to the southeast by the former Fourco Glass Plant and former Clarksburg Zinc Company property and to the northwest by US-19/West Virginia 20. Along the right descending bank of the West Fork River, a five acre slag pile is present north of the former Fourco Glass Plant and former Clarksburg Zinc Company. The upstream portion of the river follows a 90 degree bend above which was situated the former Adamston Glass Plant (a.k.a. Princeton Enterprises Site). Upstream of this area, the southern boundary is US-50, and the northern boundary consists of a residential area surrounding West Virginia Avenue. A small riparian corridor, averaging approximately 100 feet in width, extends along both banks of the West Fork River adjacent to the assessment area.
