Known as the Detroit Dock, a site where uranium was processed for nuclear weapons partially collapsed into the already polluted Detroit River, causing concern from both U.S. and Canadian officials.
Known as the Detroit Dock, the area gave way before Thanksgiving weekend, spilling chemicals upstream from a section of the river from which Detroit gets drinking water.
"EGLE is aware that the site was previously used to process uranium and there is no evidence to suggest that there is a current radiological risk," the statement said."EGLE has no reason to believe PCBs or other contaminants from the site are a hazard to the public or the environment. However, EGLE intends to continue investigating potential impacts as part of its assessment of the incident.
"Among that information will be samples collected this past spring by EGLE's Materials Management Division," said a statement,"that showed no evidence of uranium or thorium above natural background levels in samples from the Detroit River."
