In 2002, the facility was designated a corporate wildlife habitat by the Wildlife Habitat Council. Committed to reducing pollution and preserving the environment around Elizabeth Park, the Trenton Channel Power Plant became ISO 14001 certified in 2001. ĭespite its nature, the power plant works closely with environmental organizations to ensure the area is free of pollutants. However, to better achieve this, the inner smokestacks were lined with asbestos that had to be later removed at great cost. The characteristic striped smokestacks were constructed with an innovative “smokestack within a smokestack” design to reduce the level of pollutants released. The Trenton Channel Power Station and the affiliated Sibley Quarry occupy 458 acres (185 ha) of land along the Detroit River, in which 225 acres (91 ha) of that property is open fields, woods, ponds, and sound berms. The facility shares this island with Elizabeth Park, which is separated from the facility by Grosse Ile Parkway. The main building – the two- smokestack power station – and the coal yard are located on what is now technically the southern portion of Slocum's Island in the Detroit River. Part of the facility's property is on the mainland surrounding West Jefferson Avenue in southern Wayne County.
