Pesticide NPDES General Permits: An Update on How They Affect Aerial Applicators

摘要

Every NAAA member who applies pesticides into, over or near waters of the U.S. or helps make decisions about applying such pesticides is now subject to pesticide NPDES general permits (PGPs)-either developed by EPA or individual states. For the states in which you operate, you will need to know what's needed to comply with these PGPs to avoid triggering enforcement action, or worse, citizen suits. This overview supplements NAAA's comprehensive review of the NPDES permit and other resources developed by NAAA for its members.
