Gelman Sciences added to Superfund list
The EPA is adding Gelman Sciences Inc. in Ann Arbor, Michigan, to the National Priorities List effective April 13, 2026. Because the site scored at or above 28.50 on the Hazard Ranking System, this listing makes the site eligible for further EPA investigation and for remedial actions that can be financed by the Superfund Trust Fund.
Portions of sites can be delisted after cleanup
The EPA may delete portions of an NPL site where cleanup is complete so those portions can be made available for productive use. This policy (in place since November 1995) means parts of a listed site can be returned for reuse after the EPA determines no further response is required for those portions.
Listing does not create immediate costs
Placing a site on the NPL does not itself impose requirements, standards, or direct costs on small entities, states, local or Tribal governments, or private parties. The rule also does not assign liability; whether a party is liable for response costs continues to depend on CERCLA section 107(a).
