OTSEGO, MI -- The Department of Environmental Quality has
received test results that show the presence of more contaminants in
Otsego-area water wells, all below government-set health advisory levels,
though the validity of some test results are being questioned.
The DEQ released a summary of test results to
MLive/Kalamazoo Gazette on Thursday, Oct. 18, through a Freedom of Information
Act request, that show the chemicals found in 62 residential wells tested in
the area.
Dioxin-like chemicals were found in each of the 62 wells
tested, though none were above the government's health advisory levels, DEQ
Remediation and Redevelopment Division Kalamazoo District Supervisor Dave
Heywood said on Oct. 19.
The presence of dioxin-like chemicals was
surprising, Heywood said, partly because it is rare to find it in water
