PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — More neighbors in Belmont are worried after a Target 8 report that toxins from a long-closed Wolverine Worldwide dump had spread.
Target 8 reported that follow-up tests released to some residents Saturday found high levels of PFOS — a chemical once used in Scotchgard — in five wells for the first time on the east side of US-131, about half a mile south of Wolverine’s old House Street dump north of Grand Rapids.
All five were over the Environmental Protection Agency advisory limit for drinking water; one of them was 142 times the limit. Four of the affected homes are on Chandler Street NE.
