Questions about PFAS Foam on Lakes and Streams?

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) often receives complaints about foam on a river or lake. This foam can be naturally occurring foam or foam formed because of environmental pollution. There are many things that can be introduced into a lake or stream that may cause foam to form.

​

More information regarding PFAS can be found online at michigan.gov/pfasresponse

If you suspect PFAS foam has formed on a lake or river you can report it to Egle. 

Information reported to EGLE will be used to understand foam occurrence, help EGLE look for potential sources of contamination in the area, and help EGLE plan annual lake and stream monitoring.
