History of Lafarge Alpena pollution
Cement plant dust (CKD), emanating from the cement making process, was dumped onto the shores of Thunder Bay, in Alpena, MI dating back to the 1950s.
Over approximately four years, the pile grew to its curent considerable size.
The pile of dust has since spread out into the bay and down the shoreline.
The current Lafarge Alpena site fills around 80 acres.
Part of the cement dust pile has risen above lake level in areas that were once open water.
In addition to the waste pile that is above water level, approximately 70 acres of CKD sediments now lie under the surface of Lake Huron.
