The DSC-Trenton Site (aka Detroit Steel Company formerly McLouth Steel) is a former steel production facility located at 1491 West Jefferson Avenue, Trenton, Michigan.
See previous POLREPs for details.
An additional 19 PCB transformers were found during a second site survey. The total number of transformers is now 108, of which 89 have been drained for a total of 27,000 gallons of PCB oil.
To date 7 loads of PCB oil totaling 22,741 gallons have been shipped to Clean Harbors Deer Park, L.P., 2027 Independence Parkway South, LaPorte, TX 77571. The remaining 5,000 gallons of PCB oil are being stored in an on site frac tank pending disposal.
Work crews have also completed the transfer of the 3,700 PCB capacitors from the mezzanine of the furnace reheat building to ground surface.
1) Continue draining transformers,
2) Continue disposal of transformer oils,
3) Continue packaging capacitors,
4) Begin disposal of capacitors.
The environmental problems outlined in the site’s closure plan are beyond the scope of this removal action. The On-Scene Coordinator has requested U.S. EPA’s Remedial Section determine whether DSC should be scored for the NPL.
