EPA Downplays Prospects For Delaying CWA Chemical Spraying Permit

摘要

A top EPA pesticide official says the agency is unlikely to extend the public comment period on its clean water pesticide spraying permit as industry is seeking because the agency is striving to meet a court deadline for the permit to go into effect next April, a suggestion that could also limit prospects for industry efforts to extend the court deadline.rnBill Jordan, senior policy advisor for EPA's Office of Pollution Prevention (OPP), told a gathering of state representatives June 21 that, based on internal deliberations on the rulemaking process for the pesticide permit, "the chance of an extension of the comment period is very low."
