Property & Environmental Profile: Belleville
Industrial History
Belleville's early development was tied to lumber businesses and sawmills along the Huron River. More recently, the presence of the Wayne Disposal Inc. hazardous waste landfill within the broader Belleville area presents a potential for environmental contamination and associated risks.
Geographic & Climate Risk
Belleville's primary geographic risk for mold and moisture stems from Belleville Lake, a 1,200-acre artificial lake created by the French Landing Dam on the Huron River. The city has a moderate to extreme flood risk, with a significant percentage of properties susceptible to flooding, increasing the likelihood of moisture intrusion and mold growth.
Regulatory Context
Environmental oversight for Belleville falls under the Wayne County Health Department. Additionally, the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) regulates facilities like the hazardous waste landfill in the area.
