  • Atlas Smelting and Refining 5 Houston, Harris County NFA 02/16/2009 7 Years Between
    Atlas Smelting and Refining 5 Houston, Harris County NFA 02/16/2009 7 years between The site is located west of interstate Hwy 45 in the Houston Heights neighborhood, located north of downtown Houston, inside loop 610. The surrounding land use is residential. A Pre-Cerclis Check List was prepared for the site in March 2002. The Pre-Cerclis Report noted that the site posed a Low Potential Hazard. The Report further noted that the site was found to be inactive, and the two buildings comprising the site had signs that said “FOR LEASE.” It also noted that the previous site activities were unknown. No file information was available from the EPA or the TCEQ regarding the site operational history. A TCEQ representative visited the site on January 22, 2009. The representative observed that the old buildings had been demolished and removed from the site; and the site was currently occupied by two-story residences. The TCEQ representative also spoke to Mr. Matt Christianson, representative of Sullivan Interests (Luxury Home Builder) during the site visit. According to Mr. Christianson, the company is a real estate developer. The company purchased the site in 2006, and the adjacent Iron and Metal site in 2004. These two businesses are located in a residential neighborhood. The company removed the existing structures and built high end homes, which the company sold to individuals. Mr. Christianson further stated that the site was inactive at the time his company purchased the site; and the two on-site buildings were housing the parts painting equipment. The Company stated to TCEQ that the company did not notice any evidence that would indicate smelting operations were taking place in the buildings that were removed.
