Agenda: The RAC will review materials that were originally presented on April 4 in an effort to further develop the proposed framework. This framework lays the groundwork for changes to existing state air quality permitting and enforcement rules. Under this framework, these rules would be based on health standards.
The committee will meet again in July and/or August 2017.
The Cleaner Air Oregon Regulatory Advisory Committee's role is to provide advice to state regulators and health experts on more than twenty policy decisions as the agencies re-write state air toxics regulations to incorporate standards that better protect human health.
