Former Michigan Military Base Continues To Draw Attention

The U.S. Department of Defense plans to install two more groundwater treatment systems at a former Michigan military base to control contamination from pollution known as forever chemicals.

Environmentalists say the systems will help prevent PFAS from spreading into the Clarks Marsh area and the Au Sable River near the former Wurtsmith Air Force Base in Oscoda on the shores of Lake Huron. The base closed in 1993 as part of a base realignment.
