Industry Seeks High Court Review Of Landmark Pesticide Permit Ruling

摘要

The agricultural pesticide industry is urging the Supreme Court to review an appellate decision subjecting pesticide spraying to Clean Water Act permitting requirements.rnCropLife America (CLA) filed the writ ofcertiorari Nov. 2, arguing the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit's decision in National Cotton Council, et al. v. EPA, et al. was erroneous and impeded the intended beneficial purposes of pesticides. The appeal to the high court follows the 6th Circuit's Aug. 3 rejection of industry's petition for an en bane rehearing of the case. Relevant documents are available on InsideEPA.com.
