Köppen climate type:
Zinc smelting facility from 1906 until approximately 1954; large, 100-acre site.
Located west of the village of Hegeler (south of Danville).
Hegeler Zinc produced various grades of zinc slab and rolled zinc products, as well as sulfuric acid.
The smelting operation resulted in large amounts of slag (through a burning process), which was stored in piles on the site.
The slag material contains unburned residues and metals such as lead, arsenic and zinc.
In May 2003, EPA secured the site with fencing.
EPA listed the site on the Superfund program’s National Priorities List (NPL) in 2005.
Site investigations are ongoing.
