Adopted agenda, approved April minutes; board sets PFAS follow‑up and comment deadline
Summary
The advisory board adopted the posted agenda and approved the April minutes (roll‑call votes). Members were asked to submit comments on the PFOS fish‑advisory guidance by Aug. 19; DEQ will circulate new PFMOAA literature and seek volunteers to review consent‑order studies ahead of an interim PFMOAA check‑in.
Chair Tom moved to adopt the draft agenda; a motion to adopt carried after a roll‑call vote of attending members. The board then approved the April meeting minutes with a small textual edit and took no further formal actions during the session.
Tom reviewed key action items at adjournment: board members were asked to submit comments on the Great Lakes Consortium PFOS advisory approach by August 19 to DHHS and DEQ leads; DEQ will circulate newly identified PFMOAA literature and make consent‑order study reports available to any members who volunteer to review them; and DEQ and DHHS will assess state staff capacity for benchmark‑dose modeling and report back at an interim meeting in roughly two months if EPA’s PFMOAA assessment is not received.
Motions recorded in the meeting included the adoption of the agenda and the approval of the April minutes; the votes were recorded by roll call with approvals noted in the transcript.
