Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has reached two settlement agreements with the current and past owners of a paper mill in White Pigeon, Michigan. The two settlements secure funding for response activities to address per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) released into the environment from historic operations and require action to address sources of past and ongoing releases of PFAS into the White Pigeon River.
“Ensuring Michigan residents have clean water and a healthy environment is one of our top priorities, and companies that pollute our waters will face consequences,” Nessel said. “These settlements will reduce historic and ongoing PFAS pollution from the White Pigeon Mill and will help protect the White Pigeon River for years to come.”
