[Dioxin-l] Coordinate comments on Biosolids pcdd/f/pcb rule

[Ami Grace]

as Caroline Snyder & Ihave been posting lately, all indications are that
EPA is off by c. 2 orders of maginitude in this rule (300 ppt vs, say,
0.5-3.0 ppt; the latter using valid exposure modelling such as WI DPH or
ATSDR's soil screening levels, and the draft Dioxin Reasessment TDI "safe"
dose of 0.01 pg/kg/d).  No doubt to sneak in yet another lax dioxin rule
before finalizing the Reassessment.  These bureaucrats sure can be callous
of that basic right, health.	-tony t.

On December 15, 1999, EPA offered a proposed rule for the regulation of furans,
dioxins and coplanar PCBs in biosolids for land application.  A fact sheet and
the rule can be found at http://www.epa.gov/ost/biosolids/
Comments are due on Feb. 22, 2000.

Is anyone planning on commenting on this regulation? If so, please contact
Nancy
Stoner with NRDC-- DC who is interested in coordinating comments (Nancy can be
reached at nstoner@nrdc.org or 202-289-2394).

Thank you,
Ami Grace, CWN
