527 US HWY 43

The 5.1-acre site is located in Saraland, a suburb of Mobile County, Alabama. Site surroundings include residential and commercial land uses. Residential areas border the site to the north, south and west. Commercial businesses border the site to the east. From 1961 until 1971, Redwing Carriers, Inc. owned and operated a terminal for cleaning, repairing and parking trucks at the site. Cleaning operations released hazardous substances onto the ground. In 1973, Saraland Apartments purchased the site property and built an apartment complex subsidized by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Construction activities covered the sludge and contaminated soils with approximately five feet of clean soil. In 1984, ADEM investigated apartment residents' complaints about the tar-like sludge seeping to the surface at numerous locations. In 1990, EPA listed the site on the NPL. The apartment complex was demolished in 2004. The vacant site is fenced and secured.
