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.

UP3 Project Update December 2009: The UP3 Project has been successfully restarted, and is back at work. Our activities were suspended by California's bond freeze in December, 2008. Support from several key stakeholders allowed the project to restart at a limited level from April-August, 2009. Federal stimulus (ARRA) dollars will allow the project's work to continue through 2010. The project is working to identify long-term funding sources for when the grant funds are exhausted.
For additional information, please contact Athena Honore, UP3 Project Manager, at up3@waterboards.ca.gov.
