As of March 2004, approximately 1,200 tons of perchlorate have been <br />removed from the environment. <br /> <br />In a related matter since January, the State Office of Environmental Health <br />Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) has set the perchlorate Public Health Goal (pHG) at 6 ppb, <br />which is higher than the action level of 4 ppb. The PHG is the level of a contaminant in <br />drinking water that does not pose a significant sbort-term or long-term bealth risk. A <br />PHG is not a regulatory requirement; instead, it is a goal for drinking water that <br />California's public water suppliers and regulators should strive to meet if it is feasible to <br />do so. State law requires OEHHA to develop PHGs for regulated drinking water <br />contaminants. A California state law enacted in 2002 (SB 1822 by Senator Byron Sber) <br />created a legal mandate for OEHHA to develop a PHG for perchlorate. <br /> <br />~-~. ~,</ <br />Gerald R.
