The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), a public health agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the Alberton Community Advisory Group for Health Concerns will hold a meeting on Monday, June 21, 1999, to discuss changes and revisions to the draft Alberton Public Health Needs Assessment.

The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. in the Math Room at Alberton High School in Alberton, Montana.

At the meeting, Wayne Marchwick, Mineral County Health and Planning Sanitarian, will go over changes made to the needs assessment based on comments received from community members and health officials during the recent public comment period which concluded on May 24. The goal of the needs assessment is to identify environmental health needs and technical information needs in Alberton related to the Montana Rail Link derailment.

The meeting will also be available to those who cannot attend through a conference call hook-up for a limited number of participants. For more information about the meeting or the conference call availability, contact ATSDR Regional Representative Chris Poulet in Denver at (303) 312-7012, or Wayne Marchwick, in the Mineral County Health and Planning Office, at (406) 822-3526.
