Biomonitoring California wants your ideas on how to make sure the public is involved in this developing program. Your suggestions and perspectives are important.

The draft Public Involvement Plan describes the approach Biomonitoring California is taking to involve the public in the Program. Public review and comment on our approach will help the Program to refine the draft Plan.

You can join us in a discussion of public involvement in Biomonitoring California at a teleconference on either December 9 or December 15. Both calls will have the same format and content.
