In 2007, Jennifer Rozanski found out she had cancer.
“She said, ‘Make sure my son’s okay.’"
“When she found out she had cancer, she fought hard," Fasburg says.
Fasburg says the state replaced their well after their water test showed high levels of 1,2- dichloroethane, a chemical that can cause serious kidney, liver and nervous system issues.
At the time, the paper reported that the gas station was found not responsible because the additives in the gasoline were not found in the water samples.
Now, Fasburg says they know better.
“Contaminants they replaced our well for were actually over criteria in the landfill the same year, all the way up until 2013," Fasburg says.
According to state documents, 1,2-dichloroethane was found at high levels at the Central Sanitary Landfill down the road from the Rozanski’s house.
Fasburg says.
The testing team is committed to completing the upcoming samplings as quickly as possible, and the Landfill will work with state and local regulators to share the results with neighbors as soon as the analysis is verified.” In response to the April 26 meeting where residents were told about PFAS found at Central Sanitary Landfill, Wolverine Worldwide provided FOX 17 with the following statement: "This landfill is operated by Republic Services, and has had multiple users and parties over the years that could have contributed to the potential presence of PFOA and PFOS.
