National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System – Pesticides EPA Overview
EPA Pesticide General Permit for Discharges from the Application of Pesticides
On April 1, 2011 , EPA posted a pre-publication version of its draft final pesticide general permit for discharges of pesitcie appliacations to US waters. The EPa was required to develop this general permit as a result of a 2009 6th Circuit Court ruling which found that discharges from pesticides into US waters were pollutants and, therefore will require a permit under the Clean Water Act.
This includes operators who apply pesticides that result in discharges from weed and algae control.
