The smelting facilitys main building was located near the present intersection of Raintree Trail and Pine Lake Road. Other plant buildings were located in the area presently bounded by Banyon Tree Road, Lemontree Lane and Dogwood Trail. The company produced a variety of lead products including lead ingots, lead sheets and powdered lead. The lead smelting process also resulted in the production of large amounts of lead-bearing waste known as slag. Slag is a mixture of lead and other elements, impurities and ash. Lead slag for this facility was disposed of in large piles on the site. One such pile existed on the south side of Pine Lake Road starting across from the intersection of Lemontree Lane and extending to the Pine Lake Road cul-de-sac. | | | | Date Created: | 05 24 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | Fact Sheet #2 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000042458 Original UID: 21982 FIRST WORD: Collinwoods | |
