The Argument for an Injunction Indeterminate amount of time will be required for EPA to consult with NMFS about the 54 pesticides under re-registration review Then,NMFS must issue a biological opinion about safety"of a pesticide to a salmon population and what action should be taken to protect salmon Salmon in danger in interim until consultation and biological opinion finished,thus need protection No-spray buffer zones of 60 and 300 ft for ground aerial application,respectively Only certified applicators have access to 13 urban use pesticides
The Argument for an Injunction Indeterminate amount of time will be required for EPA to consult with NMFS about the 54 pesticides under re-registration review – Then, NMFS must issue a biological opinion about “safety” of a pesticide to a salmon population and what action should be taken to protect salmon Salmon in danger in interim until consultation and biological opinion finished, thus need protection – No-spray buffer zones of 60 and 300 ft for ground & aerial application, respectively – Only certified applicators have access to 13 urban use pesticides
