With three months left before The Dow Chemical Co. is due to set forth plans to handle regional dioxin contamination, company officials are meeting today with governmental agencies in Lansing. The meeting includes officials from The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of Interior, the U.S. Department of Justice, the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the Michigan Attorney General. Dow’s work plans are due by year-end and are a requirement of the hazardous waste operating license issued by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality in June 2003. "It’s the first step in the next phase of the overall process," said DEQ spokesman Bob McCann.
