- Description:
- This collection contains reports, updates, correspondence, and CD-ROMs of various data files related to the Motor Wheel EPA Superfund Cleanup Site. The materials have been deposited over time at the Lansing Public Library (later CADL) by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and other federal agencies for access by the public. Motor Wheel Corporation was formed in 1920 following the merger of the Prudden Wheel Company and Gier Pressed Steel and Auto Wheel. By 1934, Motor Wheel controlled approximately a third of all wheel production in the United States. Motor Wheel was purchased by Goodyear Tire in 1964, and it closed in 1975. (Information from MSU Archives <a href="http://archives.msu.edu/findaid/242.html">Motor Wheel Collection finding aid</a>.) The 24-acre Motor Wheel site is located at 725 West Saginaw Street in Lansing Township, extending to the north. Parts of the property were used for disposal of paints, solvents, and other wastes generated in the manufacture of wheels for the automotive industry, from about 1938 to 1978. Several site cleanup actions took place beginning in 1970, including storage tank removal and relocation of wastes off-site. In 1986 it was placed on the National Priorities List (NPL) and work was carried out on the Remedial Investigation, Feasibility Study, and Proposed Plan for the rest of the 1980s. Cleanup and monitoring are ongoing. The reports and documents in this collection are a record of that work. The Forest Parke Library and Archives at CADL makes these materials available to the public on behalf of the U.S. EPA and/or the State of Michigan, but the ultimate responsibility for these records lies with the EPA and the State.

- 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.
