Updates on the investigation of and proposed remedies for the Mancelona
TCE Plume will be posted in November and December.
The updates will cover the following issues:
1. Current status of the investigation of the TCE Plume. Key
questions include: What areas are affected by the plume? Is the plume
moving? If so, in what direction is it moving? What has Michigan
DEQ done to investigate the plume?
2. Proposed remedies to "clean up" the TCE. This
item will provide information on both common and innovative methods that are
under consideration by Michigan DEQ.
3. Residential water sampling. This item will address
the current activities of Michigan DEQ and the Northwest Michigan Community Health
Agency to sample residential drinking water and determine TCE concentrations.
