Subject: Oregon's draft human health criteria for toxics

Importance: Normal

I urge the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the Environmental Quality Commission (EQC) to move quickly to adopt Oregon’s draft human health criteria for toxics based on the accurate fish consumption rate of 175 grams per day. This rate is a joint recommendation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, and DEQ.

Please Adopt the draft human health criteria for toxics based on the accurate fish consumption rate of 175 grams per day.

Please limit the variance rule only to standards that are affected by this rulemaking.
