Tri-City Recycling and Disposal Facility – Messman Site: 810-657-9313
The Messman Site is located at 426 North Ruth Road and is a closed, unlined landfill located immediately to the northeast of the active Tri-City Recycling and Disposal Facility (Tri-City RDF). On May 12, 1989, a consent order was entered for the liable party to address groundwater contamination sourced from the Messman Site. A slurry wall was constructed around the Messman Site to limit the migration of leachate from the landfill cell. Tri-City RDF owns the Messman Site property and semi-annually samples the Messman Site groundwater monitoring wells and maintains the landfill cover. In May 2019, EGLE requested that Tri-City RDF sample the Messman Site monitoring wells for PFAS contaminants due to historical Part 201 exceedances of metals.
Groundwater generally flows to the north-northeast, toward the Black River. Receptors of concern are the Black River and nearby residential drinking water wells downgradient of the Messman Site.

There are nearby residential drinking water wells in the area. There is no alternative water source at this time.
EGLE will request additional groundwater monitoring at the wells downgradient of the Messman Site. EGLE is working with the Sanilac County Health Department to identify all residential wells within one-half mile downgradient of the Messman Site for potential drinking water sampling.
