The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality in coordination with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and the Kalamazoo County Health & Community Services Department will provide an update on testing for contamination along the 34th Street / Production Plated Plastics study area.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND? Residents living in the study area on the map and other interested residents.

WHY? Recent testing of residential drinking water wells has been conducted to determine if contamination of Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) has been detected.
Phase 1 sampling shows detections above the EPA Lifetime Health Advisory level in some drinking water wells near the former Production Plated Plastics site. Residents with detections above the Lifetime Health Advisory level have been provided alternative water while additional testing takes place. Additionally, the sampling areas has been expanded to determine if PFAS contamination poses a risk to drinking water in a larger area. We want to provide you with this new information and share our plan to investigate.
