ten-mile drain

INTERSECTION OF BON BRAE ST & HARPER AVE

The Ten-Mile Drain Site is located near the intersection of Bon Brae Street and Harper Avenue in St. Clair Shores, Macomb County, Michigan. It includes a portion of the Ten Mile drain, a concrete storm sewer system fifteen feet below ground, and the nearby Lange and Revere Street canals which connect to Lake St. Clair. The site includes a several block area where polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been documented to be present in significant quantities in the underground utility corridor. The PCBs are migrating into the storm sewer which empties into the Lange and Revere Street canals. The canals are private property and are used by the residents for recreational boating, swimming, and fishing. The canals provide boat access to Lake St. Clair. In September 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized the Ten-Mile Drain Site on the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL is a roster of the nation’s hazardous waste sites eligible for investigation and cleanup under EPA’s Superfund Program. Site Responsibility The Ten-Mile Drain Site is being addressed through federal and state actions. In addition, EPA continues to collaborate with county and local officials regarding site activities.
