PFAS

The conflict has led to a lot of questions and confusion, and could be discussed at a meeting this week.

A challenge to Michigan’s rules on water contamination by a group of forever chemicals is on the Michigan Supreme Court’s November oral arguments docket.

U.S. Rep. Dan Kildee (D-Flint) and U.S. Sen. Gary Peters (D-Bloomfield Township) recently sent a letter to the Department of Defense, demanding a detailed plan to address contaminated military sites.

Calls for urgency aren't new among Oscoda residents, but a revised timeline that pushes PFAS systems on the former Wurtsmith Air Force Base back by roughly two years is catching flack.

The state wants to better understand Michiganders' exposure to nearly 200 different chemicals, including lead, mercury and PFAS.

Some projects could break ground this year but questions over funding and public opinion remain.

Ten finalists presented projects that dealt with PFAS, lead contamination, microplastics and nutrients.

In a letter to residents, Grayling Township Supervisor Lacey Stephan III called the water main extension, “the most cost effective and quickest route to safe drinking water.”

As part of a series looking ahead to Michigan’s upcoming presidential primary and caucus, Michigan Public has been talking with Michiganders about what kind of presidential leadership they would like to see on “forever chemicals."

Grayling Charter Township is hoping to construct a line that would bring municipal water to neighborhoods with PFAS-contaminated wells.
