Comment Period- Draft Child-Specific Reference Doses (chRDs) for School Site Risk Assessment: Endosulfan and Lead

The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) of the California Environmental Protection Agency is making available for review and comment the draft report “Development of Health Criteria for School Site Risk Assessment Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 901(g): Proposed Child-Specific Reference Dose (chRD) for School Site Risk Assessment, Endosulfan” and the draft report “Development of Health Criteria for School Site Risk Assessment Pursuant To Health And Safety Code Section 901(g): Proposed Child-Specific Benchmark Blood Lead Concentration For School Site Risk Assessment.”

This public review and comment period follows the requirements set forth in Health and Safety Code Section 57003 for receiving public input. A public workshop will be held from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on April 12, 2006, in the Sierra Hearing Room on the second floor of the Joe Serna (Cal/EPA headquarters) Building, 1001 I Street, Sacramento, California, to discuss the proposed child-specific criteria on endosulfan and lead. Because there will be no official transcript of the meeting, we recommend that oral comments also be submitted in writing. OEHHA requests comments on these draft reports be delivered to OEHHA by 5:00 p.m. on May 1, 2006. Comments received by that date will be considered in revision of the documents.
