Gelman Sciences to expand Huron River cleanup under EPA settlement

Gelman Sciences has agreed to expand its cleanup efforts near the Huron River following a settlement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced Friday. The company will increase pumping and treatment activities near the eastern edge of its Ann Arbor groundwater plume and remove contaminated soil.

Huron River Watershed Council director Rebecca Esselman welcomed the deal but noted that a full cleanup is impossible and urged for aggressive action.
