"Public health is what we, as a society, do collectively to assure the conditions for people to be healthy." - INSTITUTE OF MEDICINE, THE FUTURE OF PUBLIC HEALTH (1988)
July 19, 2012 meeting - In case any one missed a previous post a few days ago, a meeting of the Sewage Handling and Disposal Regulations Advisory Committee (SHADAC) had been scheduled to meet today at the DPOR facility near Richmond, VA.
Regrettably, the meeting was canceled last week by the Department's Office of Environmental Health (OEH) with no immediate plan to reschedule. In general, SHADAC members meet periodically "to make recommendations to the Commissioner regarding sewage handling and disposal policies, procedures and programs of the department."
The Department's decision disappointed several industry regulants working to communicate "matters of public concern" about potential conflicts within the current regulatory framework. The next SHADAC meeting has yet to be determined, but OEH was trying to schedule a new meeting place in Northern Virginia around the first or second week of October.
