Arkansas Mercury Task Force

Arkansas Dept. of Environmental Quality

Program Description	Arkansas developed a task force consisting of representatives from the Arkansas Department of Health, Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality, University of Arkansas Water Resources Research Center,and a local water quality researcher from a private university. The task force was very active in delineating the problem, getting the word out, and doing further research. Much of their work was proactive after the initial reactionary phase. Part of task force's responsibility was to establish an advisory committee made up of private individuals, other state agencies, and impacted businesses. It was their responsibility to determine the research and information needs of the public at large.
