Oscoda has become a focal point for PFAS research due to high volumes of the chemicals in local ground water.

The Attorney General has filed a lawsuit against a paper manufacturer which operated a plant in Port Huron. It claims it caused PFAS contamination and should be held liable for cleanup costs.

The settlement is the latest from a string of lawsuits stemming from the contamination discovered in 2017.
