August SRRTTF meeting date change/ Senate Bill 5135/Transitioning to Safer Chemicals training

The next meeting of the Spokane Regional Toxics Task Force will be on Tuesday, August 27, 2019 from 1:30 pm to 5:00 pm at Liberty Lake Sewer and Water District.

Washington’s Department of Ecology and Department of Health are working to implement Substitute Senate Bill 5135. Their working name for this law is “Safer Products for Washington.” This new law is designed to reduce the use of toxic chemicals in products by restricting or eliminating those toxics when safer alternatives are available. They are asking interested parties to sign up on their email list and find more information on the Safer Products for Washington website.  Register for their August 29 webinar about this work. If you have questions, contact them at SaferProductsWA@ecy.wa.gov
