EPA's New Proposed Pesticide Rules Are a Sham -- They Exempt Agriculture
- "The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing a new permit requirement that would decrease the amount of pesticides discharged to our nation's waters and protect human health and the environment. This action is in response to an April 9, 2009 court decision that found that pesticide discharges to U.S. waters were pollutants, thus requiring a permit. ...It does not cover terrestrial applications to control pests on agricultural crops or forest floors." - excerpt from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; More info.
