The DSC-Trenton Site (aka Detroit Steel Co formerly McLouth Steel) is a former steel production facility located at 1491 West Jefferson Avenue, Trenton, Michigan.
The facility in Trenton and a sister facility in Gibraltar, Michigan are the subject of a 1999 Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Comprehensive Corrective Action and Remedial Consent Order (Order). The Order among other things requires the Trenton facility to collect and remove oil from a basement.
|
|
On June 14, 2007, an open pond use by DSC to collect oil caught fire. Trenton Fire Department and the Downriver Emergency Response Team (DERT) responded.
According to the fire department's after action report, the fire cause heavy black smoke that moved toward a graduation ceremony being held at the local high school. DERT air monitoring showed the area to be safe.
Because the 200-acre Trenton facility has no water supply, fire fighting efforts were delayed while a crash truck from the airport was requested. Application of AFFF foam and 3000 gallons of water extinguished the fire.
During the emergency response, DERT requested U.S. EPA assistance and OSC Brian Kelly responded.
|
|
Fire has been extinguished and the emergency abated.
|
|
U.S. EPA will assist Michigan DEQ and Trenton Fire Department in investigating drums and containers of waste located at the site.
