trillion of PFAS, recorded in Norton Creek, well over the regulated level of under 12 parts per trillion. Fish in "Kent Lake; the Huron River; Hubbell Pond in Oakland County; and Ore, Strawberry, Zukey, Gallagher, Loon, Whitewood, Base Line, and Portage Lakes in Livingston County.” were found to be far too contaminated for human consumption and as such the state issued a fish advisory for these areas. Tribar also operates in the area as Adept Plastic Finishing Inc. which was acquired by HCI in 2016. Officials noted that the companies had already ceased use of PFAS but that the pollutant remained in their system because it is highly persistent, which is one reason it is so damaging to the environment. 2022 Tribar Hexvalent Chromium Spill On August 1st, 2022 - EGLE (Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy) was notified by Tribar that it had released several thousand gallons of a liquid containing 5% hexavalent chromium into the sewer system. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/environment/2022/08/03/state-investigators-widened-their-water-sampling-effort-wednesday-and-downstream-release-of-hazardou/10228094002/. Hexavalent chromium was discharged to a sanitary sewer system from Tribar over the weekend and routed to the Wixom wastewater treatment facility.
