Adrian Landfill Incorporated is located at 1970 Ogden Highway and operated by Republic Services Incorporated. The Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy requested the site sample for PFAS due to the potential of groundwater contamination from the site and the proximity of potential drinking water receptors. The highest groundwater PFOS+PFOA result in monitoring wells was 85.7 ppt.
This facility is adjacent to the River Raisin, which is a major surface water feature and used for drinking water and irrigation. As part of the statewide public water supply sampling EGLE conducted in 2019, the River Raisin was sampled monthly from May through October; additional samples were also taken in 2019. Results are available on the MPART web site. Groundwater flow direction is east-southeast; nearby surface water flow in the River Raisin is to the south-southeast. Groundwater from the site discharges to the River Raisin, as does the treated groundwater from the pumping and treatment system.

No residential well testing is planned as determined from a review of the PFAS results. PFAS is contained onsite with a pumping and treatment system that discharges the treated groundwater to the River Raisin.
Services will submit a plan to monitor PFAS along with the current monitoring activities.
