The Northernaire Plating Company (Northernaire) Superfund site is located in the Cadillac Industrial Park, which covers approximately a square mile along the northern border of the city of Cadillac, in Wexford Country, Michigan. Northernaire was a small electroplating facility that operated on 13 acres of land in the southwest portion of the industrial park. From 1971 to 1981, Northernaire did custom chromium and nickel plating work on metal parts. Improper waste handling and faulty sewer systems led to the release of hexavalent chromium and cadmium into the soil and groundwater. The municipal well field for the city of Cadillac is located about 1,300 feet northeast of the Northernaire site and draws water from a deep bedrock aquifer. The municipal well field has not been affected by contamination from the site. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) placed the Northernaire site on the National Priorities List (NPL) on September 8, 1983. Site Responsibility The Northernaire site has been addressed through a combination of federal, state, and potentially responsible party (PRP) actions.
