Property Highlights

The Site consists of nine (9) contiguous land parcels containing a total of 1.45 acres. The Site is situated in a mixed commercial/residential/industrial area approximately two miles northeast of the Indianapolis, Indiana central business district. Buildings are dilapidated and in disrepair. City of Indianapolis DMD acquired the property in July 2019 and razed all existing structures in January 2020. Former Use: Williamson Polishing & Plating Company was a plating shop in the Martindale�Brightwood neighborhood of Indianapolis, Indiana. The business began operating in 1937, incorporated in 1953, and operated at the Site until June 2016. The facility conducted job shop polishing and electroplating services by plating brass, cadmium, copper, chrome, nickel, silver, tin, zinc, bronze, and nickel finishes on various substrates for its customers (USEPA Action Memo November 2016). The historical polishing and plating operations generated non-hazardous and hazardous solid and liquid waste. When bankruptcy was d in 2016 all operations ceased. The plating shop operated in a 14,651 square foot building. Plating process equipment, plating chemicals, and waste were abandoned at the Site when the business closed. Staged spent and unused chemicals plus liquids within closed process lines were left in place. The USEPA initiated Emergency Time Critical Removal Actions at the Site in October 2016 and completed the activities in May 2017, and the cost to complete these activities was approximately $1,035,418. City of Indianapolis DMD utilized City funds (~$80,000) to raze the site structures in 2020 since the structures were dilapidated and collapsing, creating a safety hazard for the community.
