wrigley charcoal plant

OLD CHARCOAL RD 1 MI S OF LYLE

The site is located northwest of Highway 100, west of Wrigley, in Hickman County, Tennessee, about 45 miles southwest of Nashville. The site includes the 35-acre Primary Site and the following six locations: The 2.5-acre Storage Basin, located 1,400 feet southwest of the Primary Site. The 40-acre Irrigation Field, located 3,500 feet northeast of the Primary Site. The 3.5-acre Athletic Field, located 800 feet southeast of the Primary Site. The 10-acre Groomed Pile, located southwest of the Primary Site. The 215-acre Northern Rail Yard, located north of the Primary Site. The 24-acre Clark Hollow, located 1,300 feet southwest of the Primary Site. The north Fork of Mill Creek divides the Primary Site into northern and southern portions. Lands uses in the area include farms and residential areas. Residential areas include low-income and minority residents. From 1880 to 1966, various industrial operations, including iron, charcoal and wood distillation product manufacturing took place at the Primary Site. In 1978, the Tennessee Farmers Cooperative bought the site property and began leasing a portion to the Pinewood Manufacturing Company (known as R. T. Rivers) for metals machining, storage of waste products obtained from other local industries and recovery operations of copper from transformers. Operations at the Primary Site involved wood alcohol, pig iron, tar, coke, charcoal, acetic acid, wood oils and pitch. From 1938 to 1950, operators stored slag and soil from the Primary Site at the Athletic Field in a large ravine. Operations also disposed of waste from the Primary Site in the North Fork of Mill Creek until the mid-1940s. In the mid-1940s, operators constructed wastewater impoundments to deal with waste streams. The impoundments resulted in spills at the Storage Basin and Irrigation Field areas. Currently, Industrial Plastics Recycling, a small-scale recycling facility, conducts metals and plastics recycling, storage of waste products, and other related activities on the southern portion of the Primary Site. The remainder of the Primary Site is not in use. The Hickman County Parks and Recreation Department owns the Athletic Field. Parties regraded and vegetated the Storage Basin and Irrigation Field. These areas are not in use. Clark Hollow is the location of a residential community.
