Best Available Science (BAS) Report (June, 2014)

Based on feedback from the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) on the preliminary BAS papers and memos (below), a consolidated BAS report was created. The report contains chapters addressing each of the five critical areas. The information in the consolidated report will inform the policy and regulatory recommendations of the Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC). It is possible that through the CAC review process additional, relevant information may come to light and merit revisions to the BAS Report. Revisions, if any, will be addressed in October 2014.
