The Reynolds Metals site was the location of a primary aluminum reduction plant where alumina from bauxite ore was converted to aluminum. Reynolds ceased operations in 2000, and the facility is currently owned by ALCOA. Large quantities of wastes were generated by the plant during the production of aluminum. Major hazardous substances of concern include polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), aluminum, cyanide, fluoride, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) from electrical equipment.
