Major General Greg Vadnais with the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs said all the agencies involved have been working to get a handle on the chemicals that may have have leached into the water from Camp Grayling.
Three were found to have potentially harmful levels of PFC’s and 20 others had lower levels of the chemicals in their tap water. Since then those numbers have gone up.
"There are four residential levels above the EPA lifetime health advisory," said Lindsay. "But there are as many as 83 total that had detection."
That’s why the residential wells need to continue to be tested, which someone will have to pay for.
"Just for the lab analytics to have the water wells samples to test it is approximately $400 per test," said Lindsay.
"I’ve been really grateful for the tremendous work that the state of Michigan has done in terms of stepping up to the plate and bringing all the resources and all the departments with expertise in the area to address the issue."
The plan for right now is to continue testing residential wells to get an idea of the size of the contamination area.
