Announcement of August and September 2012 Cumulative Impacts Regional Workshops
[08/14/2012]
The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) on behalf of the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) will conduct a series of regional public workshops and an academic workshop during August and September 2012 to solicit input on its draft cumulative impacts screening tool. Input to be solicited includes indicators used, data source selected, and how results of the screening tool should be used by Cal/EPA and its Boards, Departments, and Office (BDOs). The information presented at each of the regional workshops will be the same except for the academic workshop, scheduled for September 7, 2012, which will present more of the technical aspects of the draft screening tool.
Regional workshops are scheduled to be held in different geographic locations including Los Angeles, San Bernardino, San Diego, Fresno, Oakland, and Seaside.
