House Transportation Committee Approves Bill to Bar Clean Water Act Pesticide Rule

摘要

The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee approved legislation March 16 by a 46-8 vote that would prevent implementation of a court order requiring pesticide applications in and around U.S. waters to be covered by National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permits under the Clean Water Act. The court-ordered deadline for the Environmental Protection Agency to promulgate the new permitting process for pesticides is April 9.
