The Kysor Industrial Corporation ("Kysor Industrial") Superfund site is located within Cadillac Industrial Park, which covers about a square mile along the northern border of the city of Cadillac, Wexford County, Michigan. Kysor Industrial Corporation (Kysor), an active automotive parts manufacturing plant, began operations in 1959. Past waste disposal practices that led to current contamination problems included the dumping of barrels of spent solvent and degreaser directly onto the ground behind the plant. The discarded solvents contaminated the ground and groundwater beneath the site. Impacted groundwater has migrated northward to a residential area north of the industrial park in Haring Township. Groundwater contamination from the Kysor Industrial site is commingled with that from other facilities in the industrial park, including another facility designated as a National Priorities List (NPL) site, the Northernaire Plating Company (Northernaire) site. Contamination in the groundwater has moved downward, impacting both the shallow and intermediate aquifers in the vicinity of the site. The nearby municipal well field for the city of Cadillac, however, draws groundwater from the deep bedrock aquifer and is not being affected by the contamination from the Kysor Industrial site. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed to place the Kysor Industrial site on the National Priorities List (NPL) in September 1985 and finalized the site on the NPL in October 1989. Site Responsibility The Kysor Industrial site is being addressed through potentially responsible party (PRP) actions under state and federal oversight.
