Court to take additional measure to prevent spread of coronavirus
The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan on Friday announced additional measures to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) at its five courthouses in Detroit, Ann Arbor, Bay City, Flint and Port Huron.
The changes include suspending naturalization ceremonies until further notice.
The measures take effect immediately, follow the governor’s March 10 state of emergency declaration and are in addition to changes the Court announced on Wednesday.
“Our court is attempting to do its part in containing the virus affecting our country,” said Chief U.S. District Judge Denise Page Hood. “We are doing this by limiting the number of large groups that regularly appear in our court while still protecting the constitutional rights of citizens in our community. Our goal is to keep the public and our employees as safe as possible.”
Legislature approves $600,000 to demolish green goo site
MADISON HEIGHTS, Mich. (AP) — State lawmakers on Thursday approved $600,000 to help demolish an industrial building that is linked to a spill of green goo along a Detroit-area interstate.
The fate of the Electro-Plating Services site is tied up in litigation in Oakland County court. Demolition and cleanup could cost more than $1 million, Madison Heights City Manager Melissa Marsh said.
“I’m very excited to hear it,” Marsh said of the appropriation. “It’s definitely a win for all involved. It affects the whole region.”
Electro-Plating Services was shut down by state regulators in 2016 due to mismanagement of industrial waste, after nearly 50 years of operation. The owner is serving a one-year prison sentence for illegally storing hazardous waste.
In late December, drivers on Interstate 696 saw a brightly colored goo seeping through a concrete barrier along the shoulder. It apparently migrated through soil from Electro-Plating Services.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is working on a remediation plan for the property, Marsh said.
