American Brass Superfund site, Environmental cleanup site in Henry County, Alabama, United States.
The American Brass Superfund site is a former industrial facility in Henry County that now operates under environmental restoration oversight. The grounds were contaminated through manufacturing operations and continue to be monitored regularly for soil and water quality concerns.
From 1978 to 1992, American Brass Inc. operated a brass smelter and foundry here until environmental violations forced its closure. Federal regulators then launched cleanup efforts to address the contamination left behind.
The site represents a significant example of industrial contamination management under federal environmental protection laws in the United States.
The site is not open to public access as extensive remediation work continues with hazardous materials still present. Visitors should contact local environmental authorities for current information on any possible access to the grounds.
The remediation efforts here demonstrate how federal agencies work for years after a factory closes to address environmental damage left behind. Such sites serve as real-world examples of environmental protection action across the country.
