"LANSING — A multi-agency state task force assembled to tackle a ubiquitous chemical contaminant across Michigan continues to operate under the Whitmer administration, but without a director or the executive directive that created it.
Republican former Gov. Rick Snyder’s edict that formed the Michigan PFAS Action Response Team expired on Dec. 31. The group’s director, Carol Isaacs, retired from the task force around the same time.
Despite that, MPART continues to sample, test and respond to sites with known or a potential contaminant, Michigan Department of Environmental Quality spokesman Scott Dean said."
