Citizens have one more day to offer opinions on a proposed road map for the planned cleanup of dioxin contamination near the Dow Chemical Co. plant in Midland
Citizens have one more day to offer opinions on a proposed road map for the planned cleanup of dioxin contamination near the Dow Chemical Co. plant in Midland.
The public comment period began in October and ends Thursday. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality have reached a tentative deal with Dow on the plan. It outlines the next steps in a Superfund evaluation of contamination in the Tittabawassee River, the Saginaw River and Saginaw Bay and their floodplains.
The area was polluted by dioxin emissions from the Dow plant for much of the 20th century.
Government officials say they'll consider the public comments before signing a final agreement with the company.
