    City denies land-use approval for east side oil recycling facility

    Detroit's BSEED denied Aevitas Specialty Services Corp.'s special land-use approval to expand its oil recycling facility due to insufficient evidence supporting the requested use. The decision follows years of air quality complaints, regulatory violations, and a finding that the facility operated illegally as an oil recycler when zoned as a warehouse.

    Detroit neighbors push back on east side oil facility reopening proposal

    A Canadian-owned waste oil reclamation company, Aevitas Specialty Services Corp., plans to reopen and expand a Detroit facility after a 2025 fire caused by electrical failure led to its closure. Residents report significantly improved air quality post-closure, citing persistent odor complaints linked to sulfuric compounds used in the facility’s operations. The company faces 64 air complaint investigations and multiple violation notices from Michigan’s EGLE since 2012, with community opposition to its reopening plans.
