Dairy Task Force 

Senate Bill 235 (2007) created the Dairy Air Quality Task Force to study the air emissions from Oregon dairy operations and evaluate options for reducing those emissions taking into account a number of potentially competing factors. Represented stakeholders include members of the Oregon dairy industry, Oregon state government, environmental-public health interest groups and academia. The Dairy Air Quality Task Force has successfully fulfilled its charge pursuant to Senate Bill 235, and has concluded its meetings.
