SUNDIAL ROAD

The Reynolds Metals site was the location of a primary aluminum reduction plant where alumina from bauxite ore was converted to aluminum. The site included the location of the 80-acre plant and approximately 700 surrounding acres. Reynolds ceased operations in 2000, and the facility is currently owned by ALCOA. The facility is located about 1¼ miles north of Troutdale and is bordered by the Columbia River to the north and the Sandy River to the east. The United States government built the plant in 1941, to support its war-time operations. Reynolds first leased the plant from the government in 1946, and purchased it three years later. 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. The Columbia and Sandy Rivers are used for recreation and fishing. People reach the rivers by traversing the Reynolds property. Anadromous fish live in both rivers.
