The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has commenced a 30-day public comment period on a proposed plan to remediate the pipes and vaults of the storm sewer system at the Ten-Mile Drain Superfund site. The EPA has identified this site in St. Clair Shores as heavily contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
Under the recommended cleanup plan, crews will excavate six manhole vaults and 2,110 feet of pipe, along with contaminated bedding and backfill. These areas will then be backfilled, and new piping and manhole vaults will be installed. All excavated material will be properly disposed of at an EPA-approved off site landfill.
The meeting will be held Thursday, June 22nd, at St. Clair Shores City Council Chambers located at 27600 Jefferson Ave, St Clair Shores. The Open House will be from 5pm – 6pm, with the public meeting beginning at 6:30pm.
