Comment | Debbie Friedman 16 Vasco Dr. Mill Valley, CA 94941-1435 January 18, 2007 Dr. Sawyer and Board members Dear Dr. Sawyer and Board members: Thank you and the Board for voting last May to phase out perc in dry cleaning. Your action will help protect the cleaners, customers and our neighborhoods. I am writing you with three requests that will strengthen your current perc phaseout proposal: 1. People should not be exposed to perchloroethylene. Instead of the 15-year phaseout in your current proposal, speed up this process to a 10-year phaseout. 2. One alternative to perc dry cleaning causes smog. This is why I am also asking you to phase out new systems that use hydrocarbon solvents. 3. To provide immediate protection to those who need it most, require perc dry cleaners within 300 feet of residential zones, schools, medical facilities or other sensitive areas to be phased out by 2010. Please continue to protect Californians from the health hazards of perchloroethylene by adopting these measures. Thank you. Sincerely, Debbie Friedman |
