Former Detroit Coke and Tar Properties have a 100-year history as part of the epicenter of the industrial revolution in Detroit. Dozens of industries operated in this area from the late 1800’s including coking plants, iron and steel mills, and coal tar refining/manufacturing. For over a decade, Honeywell has maintained a groundwater pump and treat system at this site to manage groundwater impacts from the former Detroit Coke and Tar Facilities.
