Background:
The Urban Pesticide Pollution Prevention (UP3) Project provides information and tools to facilitate involvement of California water quality agencies in state and federal urban pesticide regulatory processes that may affect water quality. The project also provides the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) and the California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) with information on urban pesticide mitigation to prevent potential water quality problems associated with urban pesticide use. Some examples of UP3 Project activities include:
- Tracking relevant U.S. EPA and DPR regulatory processes
- Identifying specific information (including methodology and data gaps) that would be valuable to share with U.S. EPA and DPR
- Where potentially significant risks are evident, identifying risk mitigation options and seek their implementation
- Reviewing outcomes
