Project Overview
Parchment Mill Site #2
650 South Riverview Dr., Parchment MI 49004

This property was occupied by a manufacturer of grease resistant and waxed paper from 1909 to 2000 when operations ceased.  The property has been unused since that time.  In 2023, the City of Parchment was awarded an $800,000 grant from the U.S. EPA to plan, inventory, characterize, assess, conduct cleanup planning and community involvement activities, and remediate sites. The City hired Fishbeck to implement the activities of this grant.
