Description: From the Introduction:  On January 5, 2009 the U.S. Environmental Agency Region 5 and Michigan Department of Environmental Quality invited interested residents and other stakeholders to an information meeting about the dioxin cleanup of the Tittabawassee and Saginaw rivers and Saginaw Bay. EPA is starting new negotiations with MDEQ and Dow Chemical Company on a process that can be used to develop a comprehensive cleanup plan under the "Superfund Alternative Approach." This approach uses normal Superfund procedures and encourages public involvement throughout the process. EPA and MDEQ will host a meeting on Thursday, January 15, 2009 at Saginaw Valley State University. EPA officials said this is an opportunity for interested persons to learn more about the Superfund process and how you can stay informed and get involved in it.
