A former plating shop caught fire on July 13, 2004. The fire consumed most of the structure and left various poly-vinyl and steel drums exposed to the elements. EPA coordinated with ADEM and the responsible party to access and sample the remaining vats, drums and soil at this plating facility located on the outskirts of Athens, Alabama.
