In March 2026, EPA added the Gelman Sciences, Inc. site to the Superfund National Priorities List due to 1,4-dioxane groundwater contamination.
During the summer of 2026, EPA is holding one-on-one listening sessions to learn how residents want to be informed and engaged, identify information and resource gaps, and educate the community about EPA, the site, and the Superfund program.
Meetings will be held at several locations throughout the community, with details available below and in this flyer.
July 8-10, 2026 - Ann Arbor District Library, Westgate Branch, 2503 Jackson Ave, Ann Arbor
July 27-29, 2026 - Skyline High School Library, 2552 N Maple Rd, Ann Arbor
August 17-19, 2026 - Scio Township Hall, 827 N Zeeb Rd, Ann Arbor
To schedule a one-on-one meeting at one of these sessions, contact EPA contractor Caeli Cleary at 312-201-7769 or by email.
An online survey is now available to provide input if you are not able to attend in person or just want your inputs known... Take the confidential survey.
For questions, please contact Diane Russell, EPA’s community involvement coordinator, at 989-395-3493, weekdays 9:30 am - 5:30 pm, or by email.
