Halaco Engineering Company operated a secondary metal smelter at the site from 1965 to 2004, recovering aluminum, magnesium, and zinc from dross, sludge, castings, sheets, pellets, granules, cans, car parts, and other scrap metal. The property includes an 11-acre area containing the former smelter, and an adjacent 26-acre waste management area where wastes were deposited.

In 2002, Halaco filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. In 2006, after Halaco ceased its operations, the bankruptcy was converted to a Chapter 7 (liquidation) bankruptcy. Members of the Haack family retain ownership of the 11-acre smelter area, but in 2006, Alpha and Omega Development LLC purchased the 26-acre waste management area. The future use of the property remains uncertain.
