Facility Overview

PVS Chemicals is a Detroit-based company with multiple east-side operations clustered along Harper Avenue. The manufacturing plant operates as PVS Technologies, Inc. at 10825 Harper Ave, producing inorganic water-treatment chemicals (e.g., ferric chloride) and managing bulk acids under state air permits (EGLE PTI 152-15A). The corporate headquarters sits across the street at 10900 Harper Ave (PVS contact page), while PVS Transportation runs hazmat trucking at 11001 Harper Ave with permitted HCl storage and a scrubber system (EGLE/Wayne County inspection PDF).

PVS notes certification under Responsible Care®; the company’s RCMS certificate lists “PVS Technologies – Detroit (10825 Harper)” as a covered location (NSF-ISR RCMS certificate annex).

Environmental Record

EGLE’s Air Quality Division has issued and renewed permits governing processes at 10825 Harper (SRN B2371), including PTI 152-15A for equipment and controls. A 2023 site assessment documents 24/7 operations and 18 employees at the manufacturing address, and confirms corporate HQ across the street (EGLE SAR 7/17/2023).

For the trucking site at 11001 Harper, an earlier Wayne County permit (C-10424) requires a scrubber to be in operation whenever HCl tanks are active; EGLE reviewed records for compliance during inspections (EGLE/Wayne County inspection PDF).

The plant at 10825 Harper appears in EPA’s TRI/P2 system under PVS Technologies, Inc. (TRI ID 48213PVSTC6500F) with filings for substances such as hydrochloric acid and lead compounds (EPA TRI/P2 profile; EPA P2 2023 HCl).

Note: EGLE’s MiEnviro portal hosts additional inspection and stack-test documents; it does not provide stable per-facility deep links, so use the MiEnviro search to retrieve current records.

Community Impact

The Harper Avenue cluster sits within an active industrial corridor with residential streets nearby. Truck movements associated with PVS Transportation (11001 Harper) increase diesel traffic on local arterials. Sensitive receptors within a mile include homes, schools, and parks; equity indicators and cumulative exposure context can be viewed via EPA EJScreen.

While inspection PDFs document operational controls (e.g., HCl scrubber requirements), public complaint/violation summaries specific to these addresses are not consolidated in a single EGLE report.

Status & Sources

Operations continue at the 10825/10900/11001 Harper sites under EGLE permits and periodic inspections. Additional technical documents (e.g., tests, renewals) are available through the MiEnviro portal.
