- Background
- Policy Principles:
- ACWA
supports the incorporation of the National Academy of Science’s
perchlorate findings into the California perchlorate standard-setting
process.
- ACWA
supports the development of a perchlorate standard that is
health protective yet with consideration of the limited public
resources available for compliance.
- ACWA
opposes adopting the perchlorate regulation via the emergency
rulemaking process.
- ACWA
supports the appropriation of Proposition 50 grant funds for
perchlorate research and treatment.
- ACWA
supports all efforts to identify those parties responsible
for perchlorate contamination and hold them financially responsible
for cleanup.
- ACWA
opposes efforts by the U.S. Department of Defense to gain
exemptions from certain environmental laws, making it harder
to enforce perchlorate cleanup on military bases and possibly
causing serious contamination problems off base.
