EPA news:
On November 14, 2022, the Administrator signed the final rule to restore protective federal human health water quality criteria for the state of Washington. These federal criteria will help protect the health of all Washington state residents, and particularly tribal people and others who consume higher levels of locally caught fish and shellfish. When EPA initiated this rulemaking to restore the federal criteria, we committed to an expedited schedule to finalize the rule. We are pleased that the Administrator was able to sign a month and a half earlier than anticipated.

For background on EPA’s actions related to human health criteria in Washington and to download a copy of the final rule, please visit the following website: https://www.epa.gov/wqs-tech/federal-human-health-criteria-washington-state-waters.

If you have questions or wish to discuss further, please feel free to call me at (360) 753 – 9082.

Thank you,
