Workshop to Discuss Draft Toxicity Policy

A public workshop has been planned on the State Water Resources Control Board’s draft policy for toxicity assessment and control.

The draft policy proposes numeric toxicity objectives, a standardized method of data analysis, corresponding monitoring and reporting requirements and provisions for compliance determination.

Slated for Monday, Aug. 22, in Sacramento, the workshop will include a presentation on the test drive analysis of the text of significant toxicity. No board action will be taken at the meeting.    

The draft policy, test drive analysis, comment responses, and proposed alternatives are available on the State Water Board’s website.
