ott/story/cordova chemical co.

500 AGARD RD

The Ott/Story/Cordova site located in Muskegon, Dalton Township, Muskegon County, Michigan, is a former organic chemical production facility that operated under at least three owners from 1957 until 1985 and used as many as five unlined seepage lagoons to dispose of industrial wastewaters and production vessel residues. These practices resulted in contamination of groundwater, soils, and nearby Little Bear Creek and its unnamed tributary. Approximately 10,000 drums of waste material, some of which contained phosgene gas, were also stockpiled onsite. The former production area is approximately 20 acres in size, surrounded by wooded undeveloped land and a semirural residential area with approximately 300 to 500 residents in a one-mile radius of the site.
