Highly contaminated water is again leaching from the site of a former steel plant into a creek that feeds into the Detroit River. Jeff Johnston, a spokesman for the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy, stated that the discharge should not threaten drinking water supplies, but that it is too dangerous for direct human contact. Initial tests indicated the concentration of pH in the discharge was approximately the as household bleach. The contamination appears to be entering the creek from a drain pipe adjacent to the north end of the McLouth site.
