Zug Island

[Dumpling]

Tell me more about the Scott Paper plant on or near Zug Island. I am not aware of its existence myself. There is a distribution center next to Zug Island and the wastewater plant, which is Evans Distribution Systems; they could well distribute paper products but I don't know that for a fact; let me know if so!

A neighboring business on the south side of West Jefferson but on the west side of the River Rouge is the Carmeuse Lime Plant. Someone posted extensive drone shots of this plant and the surrounding area two years ago: August 9, 2020. From my vantage point on my commute to work the pipes look like rusty bent drinking straws belonging to the Jolly Green Giant.

The drone views connect the straws to the rest of the plant which can't be seen very well on the other side of the bulk piles that the lakers bring.
The river has a high water level and there is quite a bit of standing water around the nearby tanks. Bulk piles on Zug have their apices moved inland due to the high water level. [Start at 3:00 to see Zug in the distance.]

The plant was at 9131 West Jefferson Avenue.

It is shown as Scott Paper on the handwritten map referenced in the above post about Delray>

The closest currently operating facility to this address is the Biosolids Facility at 9125 West Jefferson Ave.

Zug tug Wilf Seymour remains sitting in Hamilton Harbour next to a ship whose country code is BS. I did have to look that one up - it is the country code for the Bahamas.

This YouTube channel is new to me. There is one video of a walking tour in Delray near Zug island.

In about 1966 the Scott Paper company threatened to move operations and jobs elsewhere if it was not allowed to continue dumping into the Rouge River, so it was a working plant that year.

I can't find any documentation via a Google search as to when the Scott Paper plant on West Jefferson closed. However, according to one reference on the history of Kimberly-Clark, Charmin was introduced and advertised by competitor Procter and Gamble in 1971 and quickly became the most popular toilet tissue. Kimberly-Clark/Scott introduced Cottonelle in 1976 to take back market share. I would look for the Scott Paper plant on W. Jefferson to have closed sometime between 1971 and 1976.
