PFAS + Chippewa County

As a Chippewa County resident, you and the 37,418 people living in your community need to stay informed about the threat posed by toxic PFAS contamination.

A quick look at the numbers in Chippewa County:

• There is 1 site contaminated with toxic PFAS.
• 16% of residents are over the age of 65, and their health can be aggravated by PFAS contamination.
• 4.3% are children, who are especially vulnerable to PFAS.

To combat the harmful effects of PFAS, we must:

• Raise funds to clean up the Former Kincheloe Air Force Base.
• Raise awareness of PFAS contamination in Chippewa County waterways, and conduct local events to educate boaters and swimmers of the risks associated with PFAS.
• Recruit volunteers in key communities such as Eckerman and Trout Lake to get the word out about this risk to our community.
• Raise funds to continue testing important water sources like Little Carp Lake and Monacle Lake.
• Raise awareness of potential PFAS contamination in Chippewa County waterways.
