Gov. Whitmer Celebrates PFAS Clean Up at Wurtsmith Base After Yearslong Effort to Fight Contamination

Press Release

"Today, after years of advocacy and action by state government, our congressional delegation, and so many community leaders, the USAF is stepping up their response by taking additional actions to tackle PFAS contamination around Wurtsmith Air Force Base and prioritize the health and safety of Michiganders in the area. I am grateful to everyone who fought so hard to get this done, and I am grateful to the USAF for taking actions that support Michigan's strong standards against pollution, PFAS, and other contaminants. Every Michigander in every community deserves clean air, safe water, and a healthy community. Today's decision to actively tackle PFAS in Oscoda will make a real difference in people's lives. Let's stay vigilant about pollution and continue working together to protect our families, our communities, and our extraordinary natural resources."
