US Ecology Detroit South (USE-DS), also known as EQ Detroit, located at 1923 Frederick Street, in Detroit, Michigan (Site), is subject to multiple environmental regulatory programs, carried out by multiple government agencies. Each agency issues separate permits or licenses under the authority they are assigned under the regulations. The permit or license issued by each agency identifies what USE-DS must do to operate properly, to prevent the release of contaminants to the environment, and to limit any allowed discharge of contaminants to levels determined to be protective of human health and the environment. Each agency requires monitoring and performs independent oversight to ensure the Site is operated in a protective manner that meets the permits and license requirements. The agencies also share information to ensure compliance.
