Roads--Pennsylvania-- Fayette County

The former Fruehauf facility is situated on 42 acres of land located in Lemont Furnace, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. The Greater Uniontown Industrial Fund purchased the facility in 1959 and leased it from 1961 to 1991 to the Fruehauf Corporation, who used the facility to manufacture and paint metal truck trailers. Fruehauf discontinued operations in 1991 and the facility was sold to Brier Hill Steel Company. From 1993 to 2013, the facility was leased to BAE Systems, formerly United Defense, who used the facility to refurbish and paint armored personnel carriers and military vehicles. Three buildings comprise the facility: the main production building, the paint shop building, and an office building. https://www.epa.gov/hwcorrectiveactioncleanups/hazardous-waste-cleanup-f...
