PFAS in Kalkaska County

PFAS + Kalkaska County

As a Kalkaska County resident, you and the 17,725 people living in your community need to stay informed about the threat posed by toxic PFAS contamination.

  • There is 1 site contaminated with toxic PFAS.

To combat the harmful effects of PFAS, we must:

  • Recruit volunteers in key communities such as Rapid City to get the word out about this risk to our community.
  • Raise funds to continue testing important water sources like Bear Lake.
  • Raise awareness of potential PFAS contamination in Kalkaska County waterways.
