The property located at 1279 Rickett Road has generally been occupied by various fluid coupling, fabrication, engineering, and metal coating and finishing operations from at least 1985 until 2020. A baseline environmental assessment (BEA) for the site was submitted to EGLE in August 2020. Conducting a BEA allows a person to acquire or begin operating at a facility without being held liable for existing contamination. Soil and groundwater samples collected in April and May 2020 included results for PFAS.
No site-specific data on groundwater flow is available because only temporary monitoring wells were installed for sample collection at the property. To date, permanent monitoring wells have not been installed. Groundwater flow direction inferences by the Michigan Geological Survey suggest groundwater flow to the SSW. On-site shallow Groundwater contamination trends may indicate groundwater flow to the SSE. The nearest surface waterbody is Fonda Lake, approximately ¾-mile east of the site. Residential wells are located south of this facility.

Residential wells sampling is pending.
EGLE will contact its contractor, AECOM, to collect residential well samples in November 2020 shortly after permission is granted by the homeowners to collect residential well samples using Covid-19 protocols.
