March 4, 2010 - Representatives of the newly formed Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment indicated today that the state's ongoing structural budget deficit, combined with decreasing tax revenues due to poor economic conditions, and the lack of new cleanup bond initiatives are limiting their ability to complete environmental cleanup activities at abandoned ("orphan") contaminated sites throughout the state.
There are more than 4,000 orphan sites in Michigan. These sites impair neighboring property values and pose a risk to human health and the environment.
