Abstract
Novaco Industries is a one-building facility that occupies a 2.6-acre rectangular parcel of land, located at 9411 Summerfield Road, at the intersection of Summerfield and Piehl, Temperance, Michigan. The site lies 50 miles south of Detroit and 5 miles north of Toledo, Ohio. A below-ground plating tank located within the Novaco Industries building leaked an unknown quantity of chromic acid into the ground water on or before June 13, 1979. Within 24 days following Novaco Industries detection of the leak, chromium was discovered in Novaco's 20-foot well, as well as the VFW Post's well which was screened in both the shallow and deep aquifer. A year later, chromium was detected in a residential well west of the VFW Post.
