"Pollution knows no county or city boundaries. Our first duty is to protect our local water and we stand ready to assist our federal and state partners to contain this material," said Macomb County Public Works Commissioner Candice S. Miller. "The federal EPA and state EGLE, as well as the Madison Heights Fire Department, are on site and my staff is in close communication with them to ensure that this material is captured before it can migrate to the lake. The chemical is currently being tested by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, with results expected on Saturday.

"Our number one priority is protect and preserve the water quality in our magnificent Great Lakes," Miller said
