Fish Consumption Advisory Serving RecommendationsSummary of fish advisories that recommend how often you can safely eat fish caught from water bodies in California based on the level of chemical contaminants. Recommendations are provided as the number of servings per week. There are two sets of guidelines, one for women 18 to 49 years and children 1 to 17 years and another set for women 50 years and older and men 18 years and older. One serving is an 8-ounce fish fillet, or 8-ounces of meat, such as with shucked shellfish or multiple small fish, measured prior to cooking, which is roughly the size and thickness of your hand.

Hazardous Waste Id NumbersHazardous waste identification (ID) numbers are issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (Federal EPA ID number) or by the Department of Toxic Substances Control (California State ID number). The ID number identifies each handler of hazardous waste on hazardous waste manifests and other paperwork. The ID number enables regulators to track the waste from its origin to final disposal, a process also referred to as “cradle to grave.” With a few exceptions, most hazardous waste generators must have an ID number before a registered hazardous waste transporter will accept their waste for shipment. All hazardous waste transporters and permitted treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) must have a hazardous waste ID number.

CalEnviroScreen 2.0The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), on behalf of the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA), developed California Communities Environmental Health Screening Tool: CalEnviroScreen Version 2.0 (CalEnviroScreen 2.0). CalEnviroScreen is a screening methodology that can be used to help identify California communities that are disproportionately burdened by multiple sources of pollution.CalEPA has used the tool to designate California communities as disadvantaged (link is external) pursuant to Senate Bill 535.
