Dry cleaning establishments historically used perchloroethylene (PCE/PERC) and other chlorinated solvents that are dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) that sink into aquifers and are very difficult and expensive to remediate. Former dry cleaner sites in Michigan are high-risk environmental properties.
