PONTIAC, MI-The US Environmental Protection Agency recently recognized the General Motors Truck Product Center in the Centerpointe Business Park in Pontiac as the 500th high-priority facility to meet two environmental goals under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Corrective Action program. The EPA also recognized the facility for its nearly $1 billion redevelopment plan that turned the once abandoned site into a 650-acre business park.

The two goals, called environmental indicators, were implemented by the RCRA Corrective Action program to ensure that human health exposure and groundwater releases are under control at high priority facilities. There are 1,714 high priority facilities across the country that are required to clean up contamination at their facilities under the program.

“The GM Truck Product Center is a model for achieving environmental protection through EPA’s Corrective Action Reforms Initiative. By meeting both environmental indicators, GM has taken significant steps to protect public health and the environment,” says EPA assistant administrator Timothy Fields, Jr.
