Recently, US EPA announced plans to remove soil contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) from several locations encompassing approximately 30 (mostly residential) lots in the Ten Mile Drain Superfund area of St. Clair Shores, MI. The agency encourages public comment on the proposal. Excerpts:
"The site is northeast of Detroit on the western shores of Lake St. Clair in Macomb County, Mich. The site covers several city blocks where PCBs have been found inside the Ten-Mile Drain system as well as near-surface soil and sediment (mud) in the Lange and Revere Street canals connected to Lake St. Clair. The site was placed on the National Priorities List in 2010 making it eligible for cleanup funds under EPA’s Superfund program."
"Investigators believe PCB-contaminated oil originated from a historical release at the commercial property located at the corner of Lakeland Street and Harper Avenue in Investigation Area 1. It appears the PCB-tainted oil was dumped there or used for dust control on a former dirt parking lot. There is not an ongoing release of PCBs from the commercial property to the Ten Mile Drain system."

"Several investigations and cleanup actions have taken place since PCBs were first discovered at the site in 2001."
