CalEnviroScreen is a science-based tool that identifies the California communities most burdened by pollution from multiple sources and most vulnerable to its effects. Los Angeles Workshop.

Developed by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) at the request of CalEPA, CalEnviroScreen is a science-based tool that identifies the California communities most burdened by pollution from multiple sources and most vulnerable to its effects. The tool will be used to help implement a state law (SB 535) that requires that 25 percent of the proceeds from the state’s cap-and-trade auctions be invested in projects that benefit disadvantaged communities, including 10 percent for projects located within these areas.

The tool uses data on 12 types of pollution and environmental factors and seven population characteristics and socioeconomic factors to create scores for each of the state’s 8,000 census tracts.

Background information on CalEnviroScreen 2.0, with links to press releases, data (i.e., maps of overall scores, pollution burden scores, population characteristic scores), and a link to a mobile-freindly map of the overall CalEnviroScreen 2.0 scores.

Proposal to amend Title 27, Cal. Code of Regulations, section 25903, Appendix A,1 to update the Proposition 65 summary that must be included as an attachment to all Notices of Violation that are served upon alleged violators of Proposition 65. This update would reconcile the regulation with the changes to Proposition 65 made in 2013 by the enactment of Assembly Bill 227 (Gatto, Chapter 581, Statutes of 2013).

OEHHA adopted its revised Reference Exposure Levels for Benzene after approval by the Scientific Review Panel.

OEHHA's modified proposal to add section 25904 to Title 27, Cal. Code of Regulations.  The regulation was reorganized to better implement the statutory language of Proposition 65, which incorporates sections 6382(b)(1) and 6382(d) of the California Labor Code.

Meeting announcement and meeting outcome whether  Hexafluoroacetone, Phenylphosphine and Chlorsulfuron should remain listed under Proposition 65 as known to cause reproductive toxicity.
