Gelman Sciences

A2 Water for the City of Ann Arbor has released its first quarterly report this year concerning the Gelman plume and 1,4 dioxane contamination. WEMU’s Ana Longoria has the details.

The Ann Arbor Environmental Commission will hear an update this evening regarding the clean-up efforts at Washtenaw County’s Gelman Sciences plume site. WEMU’s Kevin Meerschaert reports.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has proposed adding the Gelman Sciences site, also known as "The Plume," to the Superfund National Priorities List. We have more from WEMU’s Kevin Meerschaert.

The Gelman 1,4 dioxane plume is a step closer to accessing federal remediation support. Governor Gretchen Whitmer last week sent the Environmental Protection Agency a letter asking that the site be added to the Superfund National Priorities List. WEMU’s Taylor Bowie has more on what may come next.

A Washtenaw County Circuit Judge says he is forced to sign a consent judgment between the State of Michigan and Gelman Sciences without local intervenors being included. WEMU’s Cathy Shafran explains.

Attorneys for the City of Ann Arbor hope to intervene in the latest consent judgment reached between the state of Michigan and Gelman Sciences before it is approved by a Washtenaw Circuit Court judge. The judgment has to do with a remediation plan for Gelman’s 1,4 toxic dioxane. WEMU’s Cathy Shafran has details.

Michigan’s Attorney General says terms of a new consent judgment have been reached between the state’s Department of Environment Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE) and Gelman Sciences. Dana Nessel says it moves forward plans to remediate Gelman’s 1,4, toxic dioxane plume. But, as WEMU’s Cathy Shafran reports, a local activist group is questioning the plan.

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.
