- Description:
- This collection contains Current Conditions Reports concerning the General Motors Lansing plants 1, 2, 3, and 6. The reports were produced for General Motors and ENCORE, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GM, as part of the initial step in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Corrective Action program being implemented at the facility. The reports were submitted to the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality by the ARCADIS company of Brighton, Mich., in July and August of 2008. The Current Conditions Report for GM Lansing plant 1 consists of three large three-ring binders (volumes I-III). Plant 1 is located at 920 Townsend Street, between I-496 and the Grand River. It has been in operation since 1902, mainly in the manufacture of parts for and assembly of automobiles. Appendices for this report are included on CD-ROMs within the binders. The CCR for GM Lansing plants 2, 3, and 6 are combined into two large three-ring binders (volumes I-II) due to those plants sharing common boundaries and waste handling systems. The plants were located at 2801 West Saginaw Street, 2800 West Saginaw Street, and 401 North Verlinden Street on the west side of Lansing and/or in Lansing Township. All were demolished in the mid-2000s. Plant 2 buildings were constructed between 1900 and 1910; plant 3 buildings were built in the 1930s. Both ceased operations in 2006. Plant 6 was in operation beginning in 1921, and was demolished in 2008.
