Alex,

Marcia Horan from MDEQ recommended that I contact you to invite you to
send the following announcement to the Enviro-Mich listserv.  We are
trying to spread the announcement as broadly as possible to potential
stakeholders.  

Thank you for your time.

Apologies for cross-posting.

The Great Lakes Regional Collaboration announces a sixty day public
comment period for a Draft Great Lakes Mercury in Products Phase-Down
Strategy.  In fulfillment of a Collaboration Strategy
recommendation, in April 2006, State, Tribal, and City staff commenced
development of a basin-wide Strategy for the phase-down of mercury in
products and waste.

A draft Strategy is now available for public comment at

http://glrc.us/initiatives/toxics/drafthgphasedownstrategy.html,
through October 27, 2007.   We invite comments on the Strategy
itself and on how best to move forward with implementation, as well as
commitments from stakeholders to implement components of the
Strategy.

A copy of the draft document was first distributed to government agency
experts for technical review, then revised and distributed to a limited
group of industry and environmental group stakeholders.  A summary
of comments that were received and incorporated can also be found at the
above web link.

Please send comments electronically to Debra Jacobson at
djacobso@wmrc.uiuc.edu.  When sending comments by e-mail be sure to
put the words "Great Lakes Mercury Strategy Comments" in the
subject line of your e-mail.

If you have questions please contact Debra Jacobson at
djacobso@wmrc.uiuc.edu or (630) 472 - 5019 (Phone).

Please consider the environment
