Fewer Permits for Pesticide Use in Water

This new act aims to simplify regulations for pesticide use near water bodies. It means that in most cases, a special permit will no longer be required for their application, which could affect costs for farmers and businesses, but also raises questions about aquatic environmental protection.
Key points
Reduces the number of permits required for applying pesticides in or near navigable waters.
Exceptions apply if pesticides are used in violation of regulations, or for industrial and stormwater discharges.
Changes may ease agricultural and business operations, but require attention regarding water quality protection.
