- EPA approves ‘comprehensive’ groundwater cleanup plan for contaminated BASF site in Wyandotte
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved a groundwater cleanup plan for BASF’s site in Wyandotte, Michigan, addressing contaminants like heavy metals, PFAS, and organic compounds. The plan includes perimeter barriers, groundwater extraction, and on-site treatment, with construction starting in 2027. Local groups have long criticized pollution at the site, which borders the Detroit River and a drinking water intake.
