Another Weakening of the Clean Water Act by the EPA

"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued a final rule clarifying two specific circumstances in which a Clean Water Act permit is not required before pesticides are applied. The two situations are when
  • pesticides are applied directly to water to control pests, including mosquito larvae, aquatic weeds and other pests in the water
  • pesticides are applied to control pests that are present over or near water where a portion of the pesticide will unavoidably be deposited to the water in order to target the pests effectively.

- excerpt from this Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) press release.
