Furlough Day Contact Information
In order to implement Executive Order S-13-09, which calls for three furlough days per month we intend to close the boards, departments and offices of the California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal/EPA) the first, second and third Friday of every month starting July 10, 2009 and ending June 25, 2010.
During this time, the boards, departments and offices of Cal/EPA will not be accepting, posting or processing environmental documents the first, second or third Friday of each month. Documents that would normally be delivered through the United States Postal Service or other mail carrier services on those Fridays will be received and processed on the following Monday. All environmental document posting, processing, and distribution will continue as usual on the days that Cal/EPA is open.
We recognize this may cause an inconvenience. We look forward to continuing to serve you. If you have any questions regarding the Department of Toxic Substances Control process for posting and distributing environmental documents, please email us at rao@dtsc.ca.gov or call us at (800) 728-6942. -Thank you
