Residents angry as Wolverine appears to downplay PFAS impact

PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP — Tom and Terry Hula were one of the first families to move next to Wolverine Worldwide’s old House Street dump in Belmont 27 years ago.

“Out here, our properties have been very special, very Norman Rockwell to us, and it’s not the same,” Terry Hula said on Friday. “It’s not the same for us.”

On Friday, they were angry to learn that Wolverine was apparently downplaying the potential health risks of PFAS that came from the dump and into their well, along with wells of homes more than two miles away.

“You can’t put some kind of chemical in your water, drink it for 25 years and not think there’s going to be some kind of health effects,” Tom Hula said.
