DPR proposes regulation to provide public access to pesticide information prior to applications
|
Today, the Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) noticed proposed regulations for a statewide system that will provide the public with information prior to intended applications of restricted material pesticides in California.
DPR’s proposed regulation builds on the process in the state of California to regulate restricted material pesticides. Applicators must be licensed, obtain a permit and provide notice to the county agricultural commissioner prior to applications of restricted material pesticides. The proposed regulation would require information about restricted material applications for the production of an agricultural commodity to be submitted electronically to DPR for public posting through a new statewide information system 24 hours prior to intended restricted material pesticide applications except for soil fumigant restricted materials, which would be posted 48 hours before an intended application.
