alark hard chrome

2777 MAIN STREET

Alark Hard Chrome was a plating operation located on Main Street near Poplar Street in Riverside, CA. It operated from 1971 until it was closed in 1985. In 1982, the Riverside County Health Department inspected the site and discovered soil contamination. The Alark Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs) were ordered to investigate the full extent of contamination at the site. All plating equipment and indoor storage tanks were removed from the site when the Riverside County District Attorney Office permanently closed Alark's operations in 1985. During the 1980's, the Alark PRPs conducted investigations, and in 1986 began an unauthorized removal of soil which was stopped by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC). In 1990, DTSC took over the site investigation, splitting their efforts into a soils component and a groundwater component. In December 2000, the Alark facility was placed on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Superfund National Priorities List.
