- Title
- Historic Gas Station Study Area [Michigan]
- Description
- This layer is included in the Detroit Area Cleanup Success story map . Locations of historic gas stations in the northeast portion of Wayne county and the city of Detroit for use with the EGLE, Remediation and Redevelopment Division StoryMap about Leaking Underground Storage Tank closures in FY 2025. Historic gas stations may be locations of interest for assessing contamination from underground storage tanks that existed at those locations. Historic gas stations locations are approximate and were created by staff in the Remediation and Redevelopment Division, Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy's Detroit District. Historic Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps were the primary resource used to identify the historic gas station locations. Locations were initially digitized into Google Earth and then exported to ESRI format for use in ArcGIS Online. The study area was limited as nessecitated for the the 2025 focused efforts within the Detroit District. Data updates within the existing study area, or expansion of the study area, are not planned at this time. EGLE's Remediation and Redevelopment Division's administers the regulations for leaking underground storage tanks under Part 213 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 of PA451, as amended. According to Part 213, a "release" means any spilling, leaking, emitting, discharging, escaping or leaching from an underground storage tank system into groundwater, surface water, or subsurface soils. A regulatory closure means that corrective actions were implemented such that the release requires no further remediation. EGLE's Remediation and Redevelopment Division operates statewide through ten district offices . A recent statewide push has increased the closure rate for leaking underground storage tank releases. The Detroit District Office, which covers Wayne County including the city of Detroit, is the smallest district by area but contains the highest density of leaking underground storage tanks in the state. This data layer and the associated story map serve as a case study highlighting recent successes. Fields included in this dataset are: Study Area Field Name Description StreetAddress Street address of the location for which the interpretation of historic gas stations and/or tanks applies HistoricGasStationTankInterpretation A summary of historic property information related to the existence of gas stations and underground storage tanks as interpreted from Sanborn maps.
