Health Consultation: Former Petoskey Petrolane, Petoskey, Emmet County, Michigan

摘要

The Health Department of Northwest Michigan (HDNM) requested that the Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) conduct a public health evaluation at a former manufactured gas plant in Petoskey, Michigan. The local health agency was concerned about contact with contaminated sediments, uncharacterized surface and/or pore water, and the potential presence of mercury in groundwater. The site has been converted into a public park and beach, and is adjacent to a harbor connected to Little Traverse Bay in Lake Michigan.
