RE: Oregon's New Water Quality Standards

I am in favor of the new water quality standards for Oregon. Also, I would like to voice my request that the DEQ:

• * Adopt the draft Human health criteria for toxics based on accurate fish consumption rate of 175 grams per day
• * Limit the variance rule on to standards that are affected by this rule-making

Please do not allow pressure from industry to derail standards that protect human health.
