About this file
This closure report documents the completion of environmental remediation work conducted by the Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (MDMVA) in coordination with the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE). The project involved assessment and closure activities at a military facility, with the work considered approved as of April 30, 2025, under FAC 00037247. The report serves as formal documentation that the required environmental compliance and remediation activities have been satisfactorily completed and meet state regulatory standards for site closure.
The closure report represents the culmination of collaborative efforts between MDMVA and EGLE to address environmental compliance requirements at the Owens facility. The approval status indicates that all necessary corrective actions, testing, and documentation have been submitted and accepted by regulatory authorities, allowing the facility to transition from active remediation to closure status. This documentation facilitates the property's release from environmental oversight and permits the Department to proceed with future use or disposition planning for the affected facility.

Dear Paul Bucholtz:
SUBJECT: Notice of Closure Report Considered Approved Closure Report Receipt Date: January 29, 2025 Detroit Olympia Armory 3030 McGraw Street, Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan Facility ID: 00037247; Confirmed Release Number: REL-0019-24
This letter provides notification that the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), Remediation and Redevelopment Division (RRD) received the subject Closure Report on January 29, 2025. Section 21315 of Part 213, Leaking Underground Storage Tanks, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended (NREPA), requires that the department determine whether it will audit a report within 90 days. This report has not been selected for an audit by the RRD, and 90 days has elapsed since RRD received the report; therefore, according to Section 21315(4) the Closure Report is considered approved.
Please note the following:
When contaminated soil and/or groundwater as a result of a release of a regulated substance remains on site consistent with closure requirements, a person shall not remove or allow this soil and/or groundwater to be removed from the site to an off-site location without properly characterizing the soils and/or groundwater to determine that they can be lawfully relocated without posing a threat to the public health, safety and welfare, and the environment. The determination shall consider whether the soil and/or groundwater is subject to regulations under Part 111, Hazardous Waste Management, and/or Part 115, Solid Waste Management, of the NREPA.
If the closure relies on the elimination of the groundwater pathway, groundwater contamination may remain above the Tier I Drinking Water Risk-Based Screening Levels in the shallow groundwater. Therefore, the owner or operator, or any other party, shall not engage in any activities that would alter the conditions of closure. This may include but may not be limited to the installation of borings, temporary or permanent monitor wells and water supply wells without proper precautions to prevent the cross-contamination of deeper aquifers. In addition, the owner/operator shall provide
MDMVA – Dept of Military & Veterans Affairs April 30, 2025 disclosure to potential purchasers or users of the property regarding the conditions of closure.
All groundwater monitoring wells and other similar devices installed as part of the corrective activities at the property must be properly abandoned when they are no longer needed for their original or modified purpose. Abandonment should be completed in accordance with the American Society of Testing Materials Standard D 5299-92, “Standard guide for Decommissioning Ground Water Wells, Vadose Zone monitoring Devices, Boreholes, and Other Devices for environmental Activities.” Proper abandonment of groundwater monitoring wells and other potential conduits for contamination should be performed within 60 days after use has been discontinued.
This closure pertains only to the contamination associated with the confirmed release number identified above. EGLE expresses no opinion as to other contaminants beyond those identified and remediated as part of the closure activities for this particular release. EGLE makes no warranty as to the fitness of the property for any general or specific use. Prospective purchasers or users of the property are advised to use due diligence prior to acquiring or using this property to determine if their proposed land use might alter the conditions of the closure and result in unacceptable risks to public health, safety, and welfare and the environment.
All documents and data prepared, acquired, or relied upon in connection with the Closure Report must be maintained for not less than six years after the date upon which the closure report was submitted according to Section 21312a(1)(d) of the NREPA, and shall be made available to EGLE upon request.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Brenna Degener, Project Manager, Detroit District Office, RRD, at DegenerB@Michigan.gov or 586-850- 1422.
Sincerely, Paul Owens, District Supervisor Detroit District Office Remediation and Redevelopment Division 586-235-6990 OwensP@Michigan.gov cc: Paul Meyer, Environmental Consulting & Technology, Inc.
