Alpena Cement Kiln Dust Project, Alpena, Michigan

Project Profile and Proposal TOSC has written a Project Profile and Proposal to provide technical assistance and educational services to the Alpena County Air and Water Quality Study/Action Group regarding the National Gypsum cement kiln dust pile. The assistance is directed at the group and other residents of Alpena County. The proposal is available in HTML format. Review of the Revetment Proposal and Educational Series TOSC proposes to hold an educational workshop to explain the revetment permit application (along with other potential interim remedy options) and to provide comments on it. Dr. Guy Meadows, of the University of Michigan's Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering has agreed to lead the permit review and educational session. Community Partner Organizations
