Public Comments Wanted: Draft Prospectus on the Contaminants Monitoring Review
Greetings IEP Community Members,
The Delta Independent Science Board is seeking public comments on its draft prospectus on contaminant monitoring. Please review the request below and share with others who may be interested.
Public Comments Wanted: Draft Prospectus on the Contaminants Monitoring Review
The Delta Independent Science Board, which provides scientific oversight of programs that support adaptive management, is proposing a review to assess current contaminant monitoring programs in the Delta and is seeking feedback on the draft prospectus (PDF). The review will focus on how contaminant monitoring programs can effectively inform management and decision-making regarding contaminant sources and ecological risk to aquatic ecosystems. The review will further evaluate the potential of advanced toxicity testing methods (“effect-based methods”) to contribute to a better understanding of the impacts of contaminants on the Delta ecosystem.
The review will include a series of interviews with experts involved in water quality regulation, contaminant monitoring, and risk assessment in the Delta. The Delta ISB is interested in your feedback on programs to review or who to interview.
Please provide comments by 9:00 AM on May 12, 2025. They may be emailed to disb@deltacouncil.ca.gov.
