For your information, the <br />Urban Water Research Center ,located at UC Irvine, has convened a committee of the UC professors <br />and other academic experts, in consultation with DHS, to determine the nature and the effect of <br />different standard levels on human health, California's water supplies, the types of treatment <br />available, and the cost of compliance, <br /> <br />The committee's charge is to review the relevant information available on the health effects, <br />risk assessment and risk management information on perchlorate, The committee will also take into <br />consideration the impact of perchlorate on water agencies, the cost of compliance for agencies <br />throughout the state to meet different potential values of MCLs, and analytical limitations in <br />measuring perchlorate in water, The committee's views regarding the perchlorate issue will be <br />presented to DHS to help advance its decision-making process, <br /> <br />~:~~>I~J~" - <br />Gerald,R.
