  • pesticides exemption

    So I just saw on this site that EPA's final rule for the pesticides exemption from NPDES permitting has been vacated. Does anyone know when this will be enforced? I have a client who is applying pesticides without a permit (started operations after the final rule went into effect), and I am wondering if the company should cease applying the pesticides immediately, or if there is some sort of grace period.

    At this time, EPA is not requiring a NPDES aquatic pesticide permit for the application of pesticides in, near, or around U.S. waters. However, EPA is required to develop and issue an aquatic pesticide permit by April 2011.

    For more information, see our article "So When Am I Going to Need a NPDES Aquatic Pesticide Permit?" at http://enviro.blr.com/news.aspx?id=101266.
