About Dee Slater
In September 2018, Dee Slater, Chief Information Officer and Senior Vice President of Central Services at Wolverine World Wide, addressed questions about the company's investigation of a former dumpsite. Slater stated that after being notified of the property in March, the company worked internally to determine next steps and submitted a plan in August. Slater said that when the Belmont Armory issue arose in June, the company's focus shifted to sampling residents' wells and providing short-term filtration solutions after results showed a third of samples exceeded 70 parts per trillion. Slater noted that the plan was submitted on a Friday, reviewed, and the site was prepared, with drillers scheduled for the week of September 5th, and drilling was underway as of the previous week.

Why was the plan to test the house view property delayed? Why not give the property immediately suspected defects in the area? You mean all the way dating back to the Monday or from the very beginning?

Once we were notified in March, they passed that property and we started trying to figure out what's wrong. It didn't take until September. It was in August that we submitted a plan. I think we were working through all of those things internally on what the best next steps were. Then immediately in June, when the Belmont Armory issue arose, our focus at that point immediately was on what do we do about the residents and how do we work to get those wells sampled. Once the samples did come back with a third exceeding 70 parts per trillion, how do we find them a short-term solution for the well filtration while sampling things and beginning the plan to further understand the site. So Friday we submitted the plan. I'm sure you're aware that plan was reviewed. We've prepped the site, we scheduled drillers. The first available day we got them was the week of September 5th. The site was prepared, the documentation was put in order, and they were there drilling on that site as of last week.
