(Great Lakes Initiative) Toxicity Data Clearinghouse is now live and available
for use by States, Tribes, and other interested parties. The online
Clearinghouse acts as a central location for toxicity data, exposure parameters
and supporting documents used in the derivation of water quality
criteria/standards in the The
Clearinghouse contains a searchable database of toxicity and exposure data
relevant to the development of water quality criteria/standards. In
particular, Tribes and States can use the Clearinghouse to help derive criteria
for pollutants without specific numeric criteria published in 40 CFR Part 132
of the Great Lakes Water Quality Guidance, including new pollutants that might
be designated as a bioaccumulative chemical of concern. Please
feel free to forward this email to other parties that you believe would be
interested in the Clearinghouse. Also, don't hesitate to call me at
312-353-6066, if you have any questions about the Clearinghouse. Brian Thompson Division of Water, Water
