Industrial Chrome Plating Site Summary - Sept. 19, 2005
Site Description
The Industrial Chrome Plating (ICP) Time-Critical Removal Site is located at 6204 NE Hassalo Street, Portland, Oregon 97213. The removal site activities began in August 2001 and were completed by early December 2001. ICP processed various industrial metal components for clients utilizing a hard chrome plating method. The facility was located in a predominantly residential neighborhood on the southeast corner of NE 62nd Avenue and NE Hassalo Street in Portland, Oregon. The Portland Rifle Club and Deluxe Fuel are directly west of the site on the opposite side of NE 62nd Avenue. An unpaved outdoor storage lot (vehicles, trailers, boats) sits to the east of the plating facility and is surrounded by a chain-link security fence. Several residences lie to the north of the property along the north side of Hassalo Street. The southern boundary of the property borders a major transportation corridor which includes, from north to south, the Union Pacific rail tracks, the City of Portland?s Tri-Met public transportation tracks and Interstate 84. A swale runs east to west on the immediate southern edge of the property (between the site and the rail line) which carries surface water runoff in an area known as Sullivan Gulch.
The property consisted of a main operations building and an outside storage area on 0.26 acres. The main building was separated into two parts with most of the plating tanks
