The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will commence a 30-day public comment period on July 15, 2024, regarding proposed revisions to the Velsicol Chemical Superfund site cleanup plan. The revisions include repairing the existing slurry wall around the former plant site and eliminating the need to extend a collection system around monitoring well 19.
On July 31, the EPA will host a public meeting at City Hall in St. Louis, Michigan, where they will present the modifications to the cleanup plan. This session will include a formal presentation followed by a question-and-answer period and an opportunity for attendees to submit formal comments.
To review the proposed modifications before the meeting, individuals can visit EPA’s website. Comments can be submitted by mail to Diane Russell, community involvement coordinator at U.S. EPA Region 5 in Flint, MI; orally during the public meeting; or through an online form available on EPA’s Velsicol website. All comments must be received by midnight on August 13.
