Cleaner Air Oregon  Cumulative Health Risk Pilot, VIRTUAL Listening Session    Aug. 15, 2023, 2 to 3:30 p.m.  AND Sept. 12, 2023, 7 to 8:30 p.m.    

The Cleaner Air Oregon: Community Health Risk Pilot program is an opportunity to work with a community and learn how air pollution from many sources, all together, may affect their health.    

This pilot project is an opportunity to look at how air pollution from many sources, all together, may affect the health.  In 2018 the Oregon legislature, in Senate Bill (SB) 1541, per ORS 468A.339, granted DEQ the authority to conduct an area risk pilot study for assessing, and regulating, the cumulative health risks from the emissions of industrial air toxics. DEQ is in the first phase of this CAO Cumulative Health Risk Pilot and is seeking input from you for determining where the study should take place.  

  

Community members are key sources of information for this pilot project therefore DEQ is hosting a listening session to receive feedback about additional considerations when choosing a pilot area beyond the requirements from the bill.
