Workshop on April 14, 2010, on amendments to Sections 25801, 25803, and 25805 of the California Code of Regulations, Title 27, which set out the procedures and criteria for determining an exposure level where there would be no observable effect.
The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) is the lead agency for implementation of Proposition 65 (The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, Health and Safety Code section 25249.5, et. seq., hereafter referred to as Proposition 65 or the Act). The Act requires that businesses provide “clear and reasonable” warnings for exposures to listed chemicals prior to exposure, and prohibits discharge of listed chemicals to sources of drinking water (Health and Safety Code section 25249.6).
OEHHA is proposing amendments to Sections 25801, 25803, and 25805. These sections, which fall within Article 8 of the Proposition 65 implementing regulations, set out the procedures and criteria for determining an exposure level where there would be no observable effect.
