HEALTH CONSULTATION

BAY CITY AIRPORT
BAY CITY, BAY COUNTY, MICHIGAN

CONCLUSIONS

Based on the available information, the Bay City Airport property would not pose any health hazard from contact with the soil under the proposed future use as a boat launching ramp. The shallow groundwater at the property contains metals at concentrations above the MDEQ/U.S. EPA drinking water standards.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Do not use groundwater from the property for drinking fountains, lavatories, or other uses when the property is developed as a boat launching area.

New environmental data or information concerning the future use of this property may require additional health consultations.

If any citizen has additional information or health concerns regarding the Bay City Airport property, please contact the Michigan Department of Community Health, Environmental Epidemiology Division, at 1-800-648-6942.
