Only three meeting dates are left for your opportunity to attend a public information session about the Proposed Cleanup Criteria Rules. Don’t miss out! The MDEQ is hosting informal information meetings around the state to provide an overview of the new rules and answer your questions.
The DEQ, Remediation and Redevelopment Division (RRD), has completed a comprehensive revision of the ADMINISTRATIVE RULES FOR PART 201, ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION RESPONSE ACTIVITY section of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended (NREPA).
The proposed Cleanup Criteria Rules are used to evaluate risks to the public health, safety, welfare and the environment from regulated hazardous substances at sites of environmental contamination.
