Description

Lynn McIntosh grew up on the east coast but has lived in Rockford, Michigan for about 30 years. This interview documents the maps, photographs, reports, and firsthand testimony that Lynn McIntosh and CCRR assembled to uncover PFAS contamination linked to Wolverine Worldwide. Key artifacts included FOIA-obtained site maps, demolition photographs, worker interviews identifying buried tanks and disposal practices, regulatory records showing gaps and inconsistencies in testing and reporting, and documents proving Wolverine’s use and storage of Scotchgard. Together, these materials formed the evidentiary foundation that challenged official claims, demonstrated widespread contamination, and helped prompt renewed EPA investigation and cleanup action.

Please note, in addition to the audio interview and transcript document, the supplemental artifact documents include the visual and textual artifacts referenced throughout the interview and transcript, including items labeled from "Artifact 1" to "Artifact 52."
