The Urban Pesticide Pollution Prevention (UP3) Project's goal is to prevent water pollution from urban pesticide use. The project is funded by a State Water Resources Control Board grant to the San Francisco Estuary Project. The UP3 web site provides resources and information on integrated pest management, pesticides, and water quality, such as municipal program management tools. For more information about the UP3 Project, click here.
UP3 Project Status: The UP3 Project has been funded by state and federal grants, and current grant funding will end in 2011. The California bond freeze in December, 2008, suspended UP3 Project activities, and support from several key stakeholders allowed the project to restart at a limited level from April-August, 2009. Current work is supported by federal stimulus funding.
