High stormwater causes untreated sewage to be discharged—known as Combined Sewage Overflow (CSO). During wet weather, too much stormwater can overload the combined system causing basement backups, street flooding, and polluted wastewater to flow into the Rouge River, the Detroit River leading to Lake Erie. Environmental Working Group (WA, D.C. research group) study reveals freshwater fish with high levels of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

More testing and guidance are essential where freshwater fish are heavily relied upon not just for consumption but for economic subsistence, which is particularly true for Michigan’s indigenous communities. 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 46 80000m N 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 3 26000 E 35 42 2500 42 3750 -83 1250 -83 0000 42 3750 42 2500 -83 0000 -83 1250 335 000 E × Ø GN MN 1 23 25 M LS 7 29 133 M LS UTM GR D AND 2019 MAGNET C NORTH DECL NAT ON AT C ENTER OF SHEET SCALE 1:24 000 1 0.5 0 MI LES 1
