Enhanced Preliminary Assessment Report: Pontiac Storage Activity, Pontiac, Michigan

Abstract

An Enhanced Preliminary Assessment (PA) was conducted at the Pontiac Storage Activity (PSA, also known as the Pontiac Storage Facility) in Pontiac, Michigan. The principal objective of the enhanced PA was to assess the PSA's present environmental status and the need for any further action required at the site prior to its potential excessing. The PSA consists of 3 buildings (the largest of which offers approximately 600,000 square feet of internal floor space) and a guard shack situated on 31 acres. Several environmentally significant operations (ESOs) were noted during the enhanced PA program. Of these, surface releases observed at the site near above ground heating oil and gasoline tanks will require immediate action to control/remove the existing threat and investigate the extent of the releases. Other ESOs include, but are not limited to, an underground heating oil tank, removed underground heating oil and septic system tanks, storage of PCB-containing equipment, electrical transformers, and past painting operations.
