Background

Tecumseh Products Company (TPC) had manufactuing operations at the site in Tecumseh, Michigan from 1934-2008. In 2009, volatile organic compound (VOC) contamination was discovered onsite in soil and shallow groundwater. Exceedances of VOCs and metals were found in soil and groundwater. TPC notified residents within the plume migration field and helped them get conntected to municipal water where needed. Although TPC sold the facility in 2010, it remains the legally responsible party for cleanup. The site presents an opportunity for brownfield re-use and job creation. (more...)
