Dear Ms. Matzke

I support the new proposed water quality

standards for Oregon. I want Oregon to

be strong on this.

I support the adoption of human health

criteria for pesticides and other toxins

based on the

accurate fish consumption rate of 175

grams per day. (In fact fish consumption

is rising and this may

not be protective enough).

I do not support opening up the variance

procedure. I want to limit the variance

rule only to standards that are affected

by this

particular rulemaking.

Thank you for accepting these comments.

Sincerely,

Fran Recht
