Public health assessment for petitioned public health assessment, Allen Park Clay Mine, Allen Park, Wayne County, Michigan, Region 5. Cerclis No. MID980568711. Final report
The Allen Park Clay Mine (APCM) landfill is in Wayne County, Michigan, within the city limits of Allen Park. The Ford Motor Company developed a clay mine on the site before 1956. Since 1956, the clay excavations have been backfilled with wastes from the Ford Motor Company Rouge River Plant. Some of the wastes (i.e., electric arc furnace dust and decanter tank tar sludge) are classified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as hazardous. Contaminants, including metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), have been identified in on-site groundwater, storm water runoff, and sediments. ATSDR could not determine if these contaminants were released from the APCM site. Metals have also been found in on-site air. No completed exposure pathways (ways for contaminants to reach the public) have been identified; however, potential exposure pathways do exist.
