Re: AluChem of Little Rock, LLC
Annexation and Planned Zoning District Applications
My File No. 102986/02/04
Dear Mr. Malone:
AluChem of Little Rock, LLC voluntarily requests that certain
AluChem property
at 10500
Arch Street Pike be annexed into the City
of Little Rock and
be zoned
Planned Development-
Industrial with I -3
permitted uses.
These applications
are submitted
to obtain City
services and to
authorize
AluChem's operations
within the City
limits. AluChem
requests
sanitary sewer service
and police and fire
protection. The
property
is not located within
a subdivision, so
there is no applicable
bill
of assurances.
The Little Rock AluChem facility processes inert, non - hazardous
aluminum oxide powder using a rotary kiln. No hazardous chemicals
are used in the process and none are stored on the site. Raw
materials arrive in closed railroad hopper cars. Approximately 85o
the finished product is shipped in closed hopper cars and the
remaining 15% is bulk- bagged and shipped by truck. The facility
currently provides jobs for about 21 full -time and two part -time
employees.

AluChem is connecting to the City sanitary sewer system as part of
AluChem's expansion plans. AluChem will increase its processing
capacity, which will in turn increase its process water usage.
Process water is currently sprayed over a cooler, but when plant
production capacity is increased it will exceed AluChem's capability
to process all of the water. AluChem estimates that the expansion
will lead to hiring at least two more employees, and perhaps as many
as six.
The following materials are attached in support of the
applications:
• Planned Zoning Development Application -Long Form
• Information Sheet
• Site Plan
• Annexation Map
• Affidavit authorizing representation
• Pulaski County Judge Barry Hyde's Order
• Annexation Petition as filed with Pulaski County Court
A $250 Rose Law Firm check is enclosed for the filing fee. Thank
you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
