CWEA Lab Community,

This is a critical time in the world of California Lab Regulations.  With the latest regulations package being published on October 11^th, we are down to the wire with having our voices heard of how these regulations will affect our labs, our agencies and public health in our communities.

I am strongly urging all lab representatives to make your thoughts on the new regulations known to ELAP and the State Water Board.

Show up at the State Board Workshop on December 18^th and voice your opinions, and then put those thoughts in writing by submitting a comment letter by the deadline of 12:00 noon on December 20^th.

State Water Board ELAP Hearing
