On the heels of refusing to explain anomalies in their 2011-2012 database conversion and then cutting off DEQ access to the sampling database, Pall/Gelman failed to analyze 86% (366 of 427) of their dioxane samples for August to November 2012 within the required 14-day standard.Thus, most of the samples for the last four months cannot be used for any valid analysis of how the cleanup is proceeding and where the dioxane is going. This is unacceptable and calls into question Pall/Gelman's competency to handle the cleanup ... and DEQ's ability to protect Michigan's water resources.
