Pfizer chemical spill prompts no-contact advisory of Kalamazoo River
KALAMAZOO, MI — A no-contact advisory along a stretch of the Kalamazoo River was issued Wednesday afternoon after Pfizer notified the city of Kalamazoo of a chemical spill.
Pfizer notified the Kalamazoo Department of Public Services around 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 12, that an estimated 1,057 gallons of methylene chloride had been released within the process area of the manufacturing facility located at 7000 Portage Road.
It is not known how much of the colorless liquid was discharged into a dedicated sanitary sewer serving Pfizer, which then flows to the Kalamazoo Water Reclamation Plant for treatment, according to a joint news release from the city of Kalamazoo and the Kalamazoo County Health and Community Services Department.
All persons are being asked to avoid contact with the Kalamazoo River from Paterson Street Bridge in the city of Kalamazoo to the D Avenue Bridge in Cooper Township.
“We decided to issue a no-contact advisory for the stretch of river impacted by the methylene chloride release as a precautionary measure,” Kalamazoo County Health Officer Jim Rutherford said. “This advisory will remain in effect until further investigation and sampling indicates that there is no risk to public health.”
While the water reclamation plant is designed and permitted to treat up to 291 gallons per day of methylene chloride, the total volume of methylene chloride that reached the plant following Tuesday’s release is still not known, the release states.
Sampling of the Kalamazoo River within the identified area is ongoing and will continue as long as necessary until results can be analyzed and the advisory lifted.

New Biden Rule Shuts Down Food Processing Plants Across Rural America
In what some claim is a larger campaign to drive Americans out of rural areas and centralize access to food, the Biden administration is rolling out a draconian and needless new wastewater rule that could put small and mid-size food processing facilities out of business.
A large group of United States senators and representatives are demanding the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) withdraw a new meat and poultry wastewater proposal, which they claim “stands to hamper rural economies and drive small- and mid-sized processing facilities out of business.”
“Given the technical complexity and high costs of wastewater treatment alterations, coupled with the massive expansion of the number of regulated facilities, a 60-day comment period demonstrates EPA is not interested in seeking meaningful input from the regulated industry. As such, we urge EPA to withdraw the rule,” the lawmakers wrote in a letter to EPA officials.
“The proposed rule exposes hundreds of operators to a new regulatory regime with significant costs and a disregard of the ramifications on stakeholders … We are concerned the number of potential closures is likely much higher than estimated, and we believe it is irresponsible for EPA to propose regulations that will arbitrarily close plants and eliminate jobs from the rural economy,” they write.
“The EPA on January 24, 2024 published its proposed changes to the Effluent Limitations Guidelines (ELGs) for Meat and Poultry Products (MPPs). The guidelines apply to wastewater discharged by meat and poultry processors and renderers, as defined in a Clean Water Act program,” the senators reveal in a statement.
“The revisions EPA has put forward consist of three options, impacting between 844 and 1,618 facilities. Currently, MPP ELG guidelines affect just 180 facilities. Per EPA, this proposed regulation could close 16 MPP facilities under Option 1, 22 under Option 2 and 53 under Option 3. MPP processors support rural jobs and are key links in the national food supply chain.,” they add.
“The 60-day comment period on the rule closes March 25th. EPA has announced it does not plan to issue an extension. Such a tight window does not give stakeholders adequate time to submit meaningful feedback,” the senators note.
In addition to Senators Fischer and Ernst, the letter was signed by U.S. Senators Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.), Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), James Risch (R-Idaho), John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), Mike Braun (R-Ind.), Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), James Lankford (R-Okla.), and Jerry Moran (R-Kan.).
In the House, the letter was led by U.S. Representative Tracey Mann (R-Kan.). In addition to Representative Mann, the letter was signed by U.S. Representatives Glenn “GT” Thompson (R- Pa.), Steve Womack (R-Ark.), Austin Scott (R-Ga.), Bruce Westerman (R-Ark.), Don Bacon (R-Neb.), Ron Estes (R-Kan.), James Baird (R-Ind.), Pete Stauber (R-Minn.), Dan Meuser (R-Pa.), Jake LaTurner (R-Kan.), Randy Feenstra (R-Iowa), Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), Mary Miller (R-Ill.), Brad Finstad (R-Minn.), Mike Flood (R-Neb.), and Mark Alford (R-Mo.).
The lawmakers are backed in their effort by the American Association of Meat Processors, the North American Renderers Association and the North American Meat Institute.

Who is Vaughan Gething, the new Welsh Labour leader?
The first Black leader of a European nation has made history more than once during a rocky political career to date
Vaughan Gething describes himself as “a Welshman born in Zambia” , with his father, a vet from the Vale of Glamorgan in south Wales, having met his mother, a Zambian chicken farmer, while he was working in southern Africa.
His parents experienced racism when the family moved to Britain and Gething joined the Labour party at the age of 17 after being inspired by articles about Nelson Mandela he read in on his newspaper round.
He studied at Aberystwyth and Cardiff universities, became the first Black president of the National Union of Students Wales and went on to work as a trade union lawyer.
Gething, who turned 50 on Friday, made history in 2013 when he became the first Black minister in any of the devolved nations. He then rose up the ministerial ladder and has worked as the health and, most recently, the economy minister.
The path has been rocky at times. He was the health minister during the Covid crisis and was criticised when he was pictured eating chips in a park with his family during lockdown. He insisted he had not broken the rules, but “chipgate” was damaging.
This week he had a difficult time at the UK Covid inquiry when he admitted all his WhatsApp messages from during the pandemic had vanished when his Senedd phone underwent a “security rebuild”.
In an interview with the Guardian, Gething said he wanted to be judged not on his skin colour but on his ability.
But, he said: “You can’t deny the historic nature of it. I think I should win because I’m the best candidate. I’ve got loads of experience. I’ve got values rooted in our movement. I was a trade union shop steward, Wales TUC [Trades Union Congress] president, had 10 years as an employment lawyer and I have a vision for the future. But if I win, the fact that I’ll be the first Black leader of any European nation is a matter of historic significance.”
His importance as a role model was highlighted last September when he made an emotional visit to Birmingham, Alabama, to represent Wales at the 60th anniversary of the racist bombing of the 16th Street Baptist church in which four Black girls were killed. The people of Wales raised money for a stained glass window depicting a Black Christ to be installed as part of the church’s restoration.
Gething said when he got up to speak (having rehearsed for the daunting moment in a Greek Orthodox church in Cardiff), there was an audible gasp. “Even in Birmingham, Alabama, a very Black city, they didn’t expect someone who looked like me to stand up from Wales,” he said.
As part of his leadership campaign, Gething pledged to set up the Mari Rees fund, named in honour of a Black Welsh Labour candidate for the Senedd elections in 2011.
“She died a month before the election. She would have been fantastic. The fund will pay for training and development for Black, Asian and minority ethnic members to help them progress within Labour and stand in elections,” he said. “I think our Senedd needs to do more to look like our country.”
Gething is not a Welsh speaker but he is learning. “I think it would be great to have a learner in the first minister’s office,” he said. “We have this target of reaching a million Welsh speakers. To get to a million we need more people like me, people who are learning, showing the language is really there for all of us, it’s not there to exclude people. It’s something for all of us to be proud of.”
IN-TRAY
General election
One of Gething’s key jobs this year will be to lead Welsh Labour into the general election. Wales is a Labour stronghold but a key Welsh Labour message for years has been that it will protect the country from the Conservatives. This tactic doesn’t work when Keir Starmer is expected to become prime minister so a new strategy will be needed.
Major challenges
The Welsh population is older, poorer and sicker than that of England. The cost of living crisis is biting deeply and Gething will need to work hard on boosting the economy and protecting the most vulnerable people. Health and education are devolved issues. The Tories will increase their attacks on Labour’s management of these areas in Wales in the run-up to the election. Waiting lists are long, school results have been disappointing. There is much to do.
Sensitive issues
Two of the former leader Mark Drakeford’s most controversial policies will continue to trouble the new first minister. A record number of people have signed a petition against the 20mph speed limit policy. And farmers will continue to challenge the Welsh government’s environmental policies, which they see as an assault on their way of life and the countryside.
