Announcement of Final Report - Evaluation of Potential Health Effects of Eating Fish from Black Butte Reservoir (Glenn and Tehama Counties): Guidelines for Sport Fish Consumption
[12/05/03]

The California Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) previously made available two drafts of the report entitled Evaluation of Potential Health Effects of Eating Fish from Black Butte Reservoir (Glenn and Tehama Counties): Guidelines for Sport Fish Consumption. The report represents an evaluation of findings on mercury in fish from Black Butte Reservoir, and provides guidelines for limiting consumption of fish from Black Butte Reservoir, Glenn and Tehama Counties. A one-day public workshop was held at the Glenn County Courthouse to discuss the scientific basis for the report and consumption guidelines, and to receive public comment. OEHHA follows the requirements set forth in Health and Safety Code, Section 57003(a), for conducting the workshop and receiving public input.

OEHHA has revised the report as appropriate in response to review comments from the public at the workshop and during the two public review and scientific comment periods. OEHHA is making the final document available at the OEHHA Web site http://www.oehha.ca.gov . A copy of the report is also available by calling (916) 327-7319. Responses to major comments are included in the report.
