Perchlorate PHG 01222013-ACWA Final Comments
نویسنده
چکیده
The Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA) appreciates the opportunity to comment on the proposed public health goal (PHG) for perchlorate in drinking water. ACWA represents nearly 440 public water agencies in California that collectively supply 90% of the water delivered in California for domestic, agricultural and industrial uses. Our state enjoys some of the highest water quality in the world, and local water agencies are responsible for meeting many stringent federal and state water quality regulations to ensure the water they deliver is clean and safe, including the existing drinking water standard of 6 ppb for perchlorate.
