The EPA resumes dredging more than 100,000 cubic yards of contaminated sediment from a 0.75-mile stretch of the Lower Rouge River Old Channel around Zug Island, in phase two of an $84-million cleanup project.
What happens when someone's actually watching.
Planet Detroit is three reporters covering the environmental stories no one else will — no paywall, no corporate owner, no ads. This year, we exposed a decade-long fluoride cover-up in Wyandotte, were the only newsroom at the Zug Island air pollution trial, and broke the data center investigations that reached the Washington Post and the LA Times.
Reader support is how we stay here. A gift of any size — one-time or monthly — keeps someone watching.
Your gift is tax-deductible.
