Great news - the Oregon Legislature has just passed Senate Bill 737 which provides Oregon with a roadmap for reducing toxic pollution in our rivers, streams and Pacific Ocean. The bill will require the Dept of Environmental Quality to prepare a priority list of the most dangerous toxics that are accumulating in sediment, fish and human tissue, and produce a report for the legislature identifying the sources of this pollution, the levels entering the environment, and steps that can be taken to prevent, reduce or eliminate these toxics. While the bill is not as strong as originally written, it’s a major step towards stronger implementation of the Clean Water Act in Oregon. Thanks to all of you who participated in the Action Alert, sent letters, and testified in Salem! Thanks also to our coalition partners Sierra Club and the Riverkeepers. You all rock!
