Selenium Standards - The Next Steps |
On May 28th, the GSL Water Quality Steering Committee voted to recommend a water quality standard for selenium in the open waters of Great Salt Lake to the Water Quality Board.
The final vote from the Steering Committee was:
5 members voted for an EC<1 @ 5 mg Se/kg
1 member voted for an EC 6 @ 10.4 mg Se/kg
10 members voted for an EC 10 @ 12.5 mg Se/kg
Consensus was not achieved by the Steering Committee. Therefore, each of the three recommendations will be accompanied by a position paper to explain why those members voted as they did.
