Another legal battle is brewing between the city of Ann Arbor and Gelman Sciences. WEMU's Josh Hakala reports.

The latest sampling from Gelman’s 1,4 dioxane plume in Washtenaw County is again raising concerns from the head of the Coalition for Action on Remediation of Dioxane that the plume is not under control. WEMU's Cathy Shafran reports.

The Gelman Sciences 1,4 dioxane plume continues to spread and threaten the health of groundwater in Scio Township and Ann Arbor. Recent reports indicate there is now a potential threat of exposure through wet basements. With spring and the usual basement flooding that occurs in portions of the area, it is a cause for concern. University of Michigan toxicologist and environmental professor, Dr. Rita Loch-Caruso, is a co-author of a study identifying the problems. She joined WEMU's David Fair with the latest information.

New concerns are being raised about the spread of contamination from the Gelman 1,4 dioxane plume into Ann Arbor Township. WEMU’s Cathy Shafran has more.

It has now gone about a mile beyond what was thought to be the edge of the plume. That is much closer to the Huron River and Barton Pond, which supplies Ann Arbor's drinking water. WEMU's David Fair discussed the latest developments with Kathleen Knoll, Scio Township trustee and Township representative on the Coalition for Action on Remediation of Dioxane.
