CWA NPDES PESTICIDE PERMITTING 

04-17-2018 08:12

NPDES Pesticide General Permits - The golf industry supports passage of legislation which would negate the need for federal Clean Water Act (CWA) NPDES permits for chemical spraying activities made in accordance with the Federal, Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Pesticides are already highly regulated under FIFRA and FIFRA already requires EPA ensure that pesticides cause "no unreasonable adverse effect’ to humans or the environment – including water quality and aquatic species - and that use labels are crafted to protect these resources.

Congressional Ask: Please support passage of S. 340, the “Sensible Environmental Protection Act of 2017” and the Agriculture Creates Real Employment (ACRE) Act.
