Subject: | [CPEO-BIF] Michigan addresses PFAS runoff from Alpena Hide and Leather tannery |
State monitors runoff from former tannery By STEVE SCHULWITZ Alpena News (MI) January 25, 2021 ALPENA — The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy has taken steps to clean up a site in Alpena where the soil and groundwater were contaminated by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, also known as PFAS. The state is still monitoring water runoff from the former Alpena Hide and Leather tannery to limit the impact on the nearby Thunder Bay River and Lake Huron. The two primary compounds discovered at the former tannery were perfluorooctanesulfonic acid, also known as PFOS, and perfluorooctanoic acid, commonly called PFOA. Collectively, those compounds are known as PFAS, chemicals used in many materials and products for many years, but used little today. … For the entire article, see https://www.thealpenanews.com/news/local-news/2021/01/state-monitors-runoff-from-former-tannery/ -- Lenny Siegel Executive Director Center for Public Environmental Oversight A project of the Pacific Studies Center LSiegel@cpeo.org P.O.
