Site surroundings include industrial and residential land uses. The main ILCO facility operated as a secondary lead smelter and lead battery recycling facility from 1970 to 1992. From 1970 to 1984, ILCO disposed of contaminated materials and wastewater treatment sludge at the seven satellite sites. In 1986, EPA listed the site on the NPL. ILCO declared bankruptcy in 1992. The vacant main ILCO facility is fenced and gated.
