DEQ Deadline Nears On Pall Comment

DEQ deadline nears on Pall comment

Residents have one more week to comment on alternative plans for cleaning up a spreading plume of underground diox-ane contamination on Ann Arbor’s west side. The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality is taking comments through Aug. 16, after extending the original Monday deadline. The underground contamination originated from the Pall Life Sciences facility on Wagner Road in Scio Township.

■ To comment, call the project’s manager, Sybil Kolon, at (517) 780-7937, e-mail kolons@michigan.gov, or write to her at DEQ-RRD, Jackson State Office Building, 301 E. Louis Glick Highway, Jackson, MI 49201.

■ For more details on the plume, the history of the contamination and the cleanup plans, the public may view detailed information at four information repositories - the Ann Arbor District Library's Westgate Shopping Center branch, Scio Township Hall, the Ann Arbor Water Utilities Department and the Washtenaw County Department of Environment and Infrastructure.
