A2: Pall Dioxane

The Michigan Dept. of Environmental Quality has posted additional documents regarding the 1,4 dioxane cleanup caused by the former Gelman Sciences manufacturing facility in Scio Township, now owned by Pall Corp. The documents, which include monitoring plan updates from Pall, are on the MDEQ website focused on cleanup of the underground dioxane plume. Hard copies of the documents are available at the Ann Arbor District Library downtown branch at 343 S. Fifth Ave., and at the Washtenaw County public health department, 705 North Zeeb Road. Other resources include Scio Residents for Safe Water and Coalition for Action on Remediation of Dioxane (CARD). For background on the issue, see Chronicle coverage: “Residents Frustrated by Dioxane Decision.”
