Items of large mechanical equipment are stored on racks in the open area and training classes are being conducted in the small room at the northwest corner of the building; other areas of the building are not in use. A concrete pad, which was the floor of the former process building, remains on the north side of the compressor building and, at the time of this survey, a large pile of chromate ore occupied approximately 31.8 x12 of this pad. Large pieces of scrap metal and construction equipment are stored at the north edge of the property.
