There are two major classes of firefighting foam: Class A and Class B. Class B is also called Aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) and is usually created using PFAS. It is a highly effective foam used for fighting high-hazard flammable liquid fires, like gasoline, oil, and jet fuel.

Please note that this landfill is CLOSED and does not accept waste.
The Kentwood Landfill Superfund site is a 72-acre unlined landfill that operated from the 1950s to 1976, when it was capped and closed.
There is a leachate collection system in place, but since the landfill is unlined, it is possible that the system would not collect all the leachate being generated.

EGLE has requested that the County sample existing groundwater monitoring wells throughout the landfill to determine the extent of potential PFAS contamination. The County is developing a workplan to propose the sampling strategy; the workplan is expected in March 2019.
