Public health assessment for Ossineke groundwater contamination, Ossineke, Alpena County, Michigan, Region 5. Cerclis No. MID980794440. Final report
The Ossineke Ground-water Contamination site is listed on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) National Priorites List (NPL). A plume of contamination including benzene, toluene, xylenes, and other gasoline components has been found in the groundwater, and is attributed to spills from a gas station and possibly to leaking underground tanks. A nearby laundromat, which has reported spills and leaks of tetrachloroethylene, could also be a source of groundwater, surface water, and soil contamination. The contamination in the groundwater did pose a public health hazard in the past and could potentially in the future if the groundwater was used for portable purposes. All wells that are known to have used the contaminated aquifer in or near the contaminant plume have been replaced. Presently, the site poses no apparent public health hazard under current conditions.
