A bill allowing pesticide manufacturers and users to avoid the Clean Water Act permitting process passed in the Senate Agriculture Committee today.LA Times June 22 2011
If passed in the Senate, bill H.R. 872 lets farmers spray pesticides near public waters without having to meet Clean Water Act permitting requirements..
The supporters of the bill said that it eliminates another "regulatory hoop" that businesses had to jump through. Anyone talking about nonce notions like "regulatory hoops" is a scoundrel and a liar.
