Detroit Steel Co Trenton - Primary Metal Facility in Trenton, Michigan

Detroit Steel Co Trenton is a primary metal facility situated at 1491 West Jefferson Avenue in Trenton, Michigan, within Wayne County. The plant is operational and classified under NAICS codes 331110 (Iron and Steel Mills) and 331111 (Iron and Steel Mills), as well as 562910 (Remediation Services), suggesting a role in both steel production and environmental remediation. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which enforces multi-media compliance including the Clean Air Act (CAA), Clean Water Act (CWA), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Section 313 reporting. As a primary metal plant, it is subject to specific emission standards and waste management requirements typical of the steel industry in the Great Lakes region. Located in an industrial area near the Detroit River, the plant's operations contribute to the regional economy but also require careful environmental management due to potential emissions of particulate matter, heavy metals, and process wastewater. The facility's inclusion of remediation services indicates involvement in environmental cleanup activities, which may mitigate some of its environmental footprint.

The facility is situated in Trenton, Michigan, along the Detroit River, a major waterway connecting Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair. The region has a history of heavy industry, and primary metal facilities like this one can be significant sources of air emissions (e.g., particulate matter, sulfur dioxide) and wastewater discharges. Community proximity to industrial zones necessitates robust environmental monitoring and compliance with EPA regulations to protect local air and water quality.
