PFAS in Cass County

PFAS + Cass County

As a Cass County resident, you and the 51,613 people living in your community need to stay informed about the threat posed by toxic PFAS contamination.

A quick look at the numbers in Cass County:

  • There are 1 sites contaminated with toxic PFAS.
  • 19% of residents are over the age of 65, and their health can be aggravated by PFAS contamination.
  • 4.8% are children, who are especially vulnerable to PFAS.

To combat the harmful effects of PFAS, we must:

  • Raise funds to clean up the M-60 Tanker Spill (Niles).
  • Raise awareness of PFAS contamination in Cass County waterways, and conduct local events to educate boaters and swimmers of the risks associated with PFAS.
  • Recruit volunteers in key communities such as Twin Lakes to get the word out about this risk to our community.
  • Raise funds to continue testing important water sources like Birch Lake and Little Fish Lake.
  • Raise awareness of potential PFAS contamination in Cass County waterways.
