Dear Acting Chairman Girard:
Thank
you for
your February 19, 2009
letter requesting the Department of Commerce and
Economic Opportunity (Department) to conduct an economic impact
study
concerning the
City of Galva’
s
proposed rulemaking seeking a site specific water quality standard for
Boron discharges to Edwards River
and Mud Creek.
The Department has reviewed
the Board’s request for an Economic Impact Study for
this
proposal. In light
of continued fiscal constraints,
the Department has decided not to conduct a study of
the
economic impact
of the above referenced rulemaking proposal.
Thank you for soliciting the Department’s input in this matter.
Sincerely,
()ackLaj
