May 3, 2018 Task Force/TSCA Work Group Conference Call

Posted on by

The Task Force will hold a conference call, as part of the TSCA Work Group meeting scheduled for May 3, 2018 to approve an issues letter to EPA Region 10 Administrator, Chris Hladick. The letter was drafted and vetted with some members of the TSCA work. In order to get the letter approved, at least 7 Voting members of the Task Force must be on the call to reach a quorum.  The decision part of the call will be the first agenda item, and should be fairly brief. A cc list for the letter will also be developed during the meeting.

Please do not send editorial comments on the letter. If you can live with the letter as is, that is great. If you cannot live with the letter as it stands, please provide your comments with specific wording changes to Lisa Dally Wilson (lisadallywilson@gmail.com) no later than 5 pm on Monday April 30th, 2018.
