On Tuesday the Environmental Quality Board approved updated water quality standards, but without standards for molybdenum, chlorides, sulfates and 1-4 dioxane which have been controversial.

The Board did vote to require DEP to come back within a year for an update on the science behind setting accurate standards.

The Board also approved--

 -- Proposed Medical and Chemotherapeutic Waste Regulations

--  A Rulemaking Petition on Cranberry Creek, Monroe County
