PFAS + Ottawa County

As an Ottawa County resident, you and the 289,162 people living in your community need to stay informed about the threat posed by toxic PFAS contamination.

A quick look at the numbers in Ottawa County:

• There are 6 sites contaminated with toxic PFAS.
• 13% of residents are over the age of 65, and their health can be aggravated by PFAS contamination.
• 5.7% are children, who are especially vulnerable to PFAS.

To combat the harmful effects of PFAS, we must:

• Raise funds to clean up the JB Sims Generating Station, Challenge Machinery Company, and Warner-Lambert Company LLC.
• Raise awareness of PFAS contamination in Ottawa County waterways, and conduct local events to educate boaters and swimmers of the risks associated with PFAS.
• Recruit volunteers in key communities such as Holland and Grand Haven to get the word out about this risk to our community.
• Raise funds to continue testing important water sources like Crockery Lake and Lake Macatawa.
• Raise awareness of potential PFAS contamination in Ottawa County waterways.
