southern avenue industrial area

5211 SOUTHERN AVENUE

The Site is located in a mixed industrial, commercial, and residential area in South Gate, California. Volatile organic compounds, including trichloroethylene (TCE), have been found in soils and ground water at the Site. From 1972 to 2013, the Site was occupied by a facility that manufactured hot-melt adhesive tape for laying carpets. Prior to 1972, Pacific Screw Products Corporation manufactured screw products at the property until the business went bankrupt. On the property, the main areas of concern include concrete liners in the pallet manufacturing area, a sump and an underground storage tank area. Historical Los Angeles County Department of Health Services Hazardous Waste Control Program surveys and notices of violations note the use of TCE on the property and improper disposal of unusable oils and solvents.
