Please take a minute to participate in Action Alert below and make your voice heard in Salem! The Oregon Legislature is considering two bills that would address point-source pollution in state waters. Senate Bill 317 (Right to Know) would require that "mixing zones" for persistent bioaccumulative toxins (e.g., PCB's, lead, mercury) be indicated through signs and buoys. Senate Bill 737 (Reducing Toxics) would direct the Dept of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to phase out the discharge of bioaccumulative toxins at levels that may be harmful to aquatic life or human health. Please see link below and send an email to the Environment & Natural Resources Committee to let them know you care about water quality in our rivers and ocean! http://actionnetwork.org/campaign/oregon_waterqualitybills
