WHO SAID THIS?

"the North Works Site requires stabilization through an Interim Measure due to uncontrolled releases of contaminated groundwater to the River that exceed water quality standards."
EPA  on 2016_08_26


"The regulatory requirements for the venting groundwater that discharges into the Critical Assessment Zone (CAZ) of the Wyandotte intake are presented in the Water Quality Based Effluent memo dated December 22, 2021. That memo details the pollutants which have reasonable potential to violate water quality standards and the necessary limits to protect water quality."
EGLE on 2022_01_27 


"We all completely agree that the discharge of pollutants (from BASF NW) to the Detroit River is a violation of Part 31 and Part 111. Not disputed".
EGLE on 2021_10_27


“BASF regards protection of health, safety and the environment as our most important responsibility,”
"We are committed to operating facilities in a safe and environmentally responsible fashion."
BASF on  2023_08_21
