There are two major classes of firefighting foam: Class A and Class B. Class B is also called Aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) and is usually created using PFAS. It is a highly effective foam used for fighting high-hazard flammable liquid fires, like gasoline, oil, and jet fuel.

Marcy’s Cleaners, located at 920 Grand River Avenue, is the location of a former dry cleaner. EGLE has been investigating the site for chlorinated volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds, lead, methane and hydrocarbons for many years. In 2024, PFAS was sampled and 11 monitoring wells were over criteria, the highest of which had 1,000 ppt PFHxS (compared to 51 ppt) and 300 ppt PFOA (compared to 8 ppt). Elevated concentrations of PFAS were also found in storm sewer sample results. Groundwater flow direction is thought to be to the south-southwest.

This app provides access to multiple datasets from Michigan’s PFAS Action Response Team (MPART), including data on official sites, surface water, public water supplies, and fish sampling.
The area is served by municipal water. EGLE, DHHS, and local health have reviewed nearby residential well logs and verified there are no active drinking water wells nearby planned for sampling.
