The site, located at 188 Howard Avenue, Holland, was formerly owned by Warner-Lambert Company, LLC, but was acquired by Pfizer, Inc., in 2000. It was primarily used for pharmaceutical manufacturing from 1951 to 2007 and cleanup has been ongoing at the site since 2000. As part of those cleanup efforts, a clay barrier wall was installed along the perimeter of the site to contain contaminants on-site, such as aromatic organics. In addition, groundwater is extracted, treated, and currently disposed of in on-site deep injection wells. The facility is evaluating alternative options for managing extracted groundwater. In support of that effort, a sample was collected from the groundwater extraction system and analyzed for PFAS in June 2020.
The site is located on the Macatawa River. Groundwater typically flows southeast toward the river, but the containment wall and groundwater extraction system keep groundwater from moving off-site.
