Dr. Jeffrey Foran Our TAG Project Expert

Our guest speaker will be Dr. Jeffrey Foran, Toxicologist and Adjunct Professor at the School of Allied Health, UW Milwaukee, and President/CEO of Citizens for a Better Environment.   He has had 20 years of experience in the field of human health and ecological toxicology.  He has been hired by a coalition of local and regional citizen groups, using an EPA Superfund Technical Assistance Grant (TAG), to review the Fox River plan details, with a focus on health protection. (See TAG for more background.)

Dr. Foran's presentation will be an independent overview of the Fox River contamination problem and proposed cleanup plan, in everyday terms, including concerns about the plan's weaknesses.  He will also answer questions from the public.  Additional background materials will be provided by Clean Water Action Council, including materials from another independent TAG expert, Donna Boreck, a geologist hired to review the physical aspects of PCB sediment management and the remediation methods chosen in the plan.

These programs are co-sponsored by: Clean Water Action Council, Lawrence University Geology Department and Environmental Studies Program, Greenfire, Citizens for a Better Environment, Physicians for Social Responsibility, Great Lakes United, Twin Cities Rod & Gun Club, Door County Environmental Council, Brown County Conservation Alliance (includes 16 hunting, fishing, boating and other outdoors groups), Chappee Rapids Audubon Society (Marinette), and the Northeast Wisconsin Student Environmental Network.
