A public hearing requested by the Chemours Environmental Impact Committee regarding the cleanup of Mirror Lake will take place Tuesday, May 27 at 6 p.m.
After many decades there is progress in the cleanup and restoration of Mirror Lake. Located in White River Township, just south of a massive lime pile, this area has long been affected by a berm breach in the 1960s at the DuPont property allowed lime to make its way into Mirror Lake.
The cleanup of Mirror Lake has been a goal of the Chemours Environmental Impact Committee (CEIC) since the group formed in 2018. When EGLE posted a Public Notice March 26 that Chemours had submitted a plan to EGLE to dredge the lime, CEIC responded by having members submit comments for two purposes: to ensure that Chemours has a robust restoration plan, and to obtain a public hearing. By the time the announcement of the public hearing had been made, a restoration plan from the Muskegon Conservation District, at the request of Chemours, had been submitted.
