AINFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality is now investigating nearly three dozen potential dump sites possibly connected to contaminated water in the Rockford area.
A DEQ spokesperson told 24 Hour News 8 Tuesday it is looking into approximately 35 potential dumps.
The department has received dozens of reports from concerned residents after wells along House Street NE in Belmont started testing positive for a likely carcinogen. Chemicals that Wolverine Worldwide used in waterproofing shoes that were dumped at a landfill decades ago are being blamed for the contamination.
