Fewer Pesticide Permits: Easing Regulations for Agriculture and Water Management.

This new law aims to reduce bureaucracy related to pesticide use near water bodies. It means that in many cases, a special permit will no longer be required for their application, which could simplify operations for farmers and other entities. However, it's crucial that regulations for safe pesticide use still apply to protect water quality.
Key points
Simplified Regulations: A special permit will no longer be needed for the use of authorized pesticides near navigable waters, potentially speeding up certain activities.
Water Protection: Despite the changes, rules for proper pesticide application remain in effect to prevent water pollution.
Exceptions Apply: Permits will still be required for violations of pesticide regulations, stormwater discharges, and industrial or treatment works effluents.
