The Michigan Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides all persons (except persons incarcerated in correctional facilities) with access to public records of public bodies. Requests to inspect or receive public records from EGLE must be in writing and describe the requested records with enough detail to enable the department to identify and locate the requested records. Some records are exempt from disclosure under the FOIA or another statute and thus will not be provided. A fee may be charged to process your request. Please note that many records are available that do not require a formal FOIA request.

The RACER Buick City site is located at 902 East Leith Street in Flint. It is a former automotive manufacturing facility that General Motors Corporation dispensed with when they filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2011. The site is now owned and managed by the Revitalizing Auto Communities Environmental Response Trust (RACER). RACER is responsible for the corrective action environmental cleanup activities required to be performed at the site under Part 111, Hazardous Waste Management, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (NREPA), and the administrative rules promulgated thereunder.
For a brief history on the site details, click on the timeline below.
Since August 27, 2022, RACER and the Flint Commerce Center, LLC, the prospective purchaser of the Buick City site, have submitted multiple documents to EGLE, Materials Management Division (MMD). These documents proposed well abandonment, additional property use restrictions, concrete slab removal and other activities and documentation of achieved cleanup objectives for Block 7. Additional corrective measures being considered for onsite contamination include soil consolidation, groundwater treatment, and sewer bulkheading to prevent contaminant migration.
RACER seeks to sell 293 acres of the site to be redeveloped into the Flint Commerce Center, a potential 3.5 million square foot industrial distribution center for prospective businesses.
EGLE is currently reviewing the submitted documents to ensure that the proposed actions pose no risks to human health or the environment, and that they comply with the 2020 Corrective Action Consent Order between EGLE and RACER; the Part 111, Hazardous Waste Management, of the NREPA; Part 201, Environmental Remediation, of the NREPA; and the rules promulgated under these parts. The documents currently being reviewed include:
