Similar to many locations... every room has a different story and nearly every room is interesting. If you manage to make it out to the back deck and squeeze through the mass of nature that's covering it up, there's a wonderful view of the Arkansas river.

An Arkansas Department of Pollution Control and Ecology document dated May 20, 1997 reads: “Analysis indicates a release of cadmium, hexavalent chromium, nickel, and cyanide to the environment has occurred.” The document also noted several violations, including failure to properly store hazardous waste, failure to have a hazardous waste storage permit, and failure to operate the facility to minimize the risk of a fire, explosion, or release of hazardous waste that could threaten human health or the environment. Forgecraft filed for bankruptcy in 2002 and sent a letter to the state saying that it no longer had assets or employees to address the emergency conditions at the facility.

At this time, the state's clean up efforts are at somewhat of a standstill. ADEQ has asked for financial assistance from the Environmental Protection Agency, and ADEQ is currently waiting for the EPA to respond to that request for help. The state has already spent $69,000 on the clean up at the old U.S. Forgecraft building. Officials expect the removal of the hazardous wastes to cost another $200,000-$250,000. Recently demolished. :[
