Mr. Shepherd:

After years of debate stemming from a 2009 court order, EPA has released a final general permit governing the use of pesticides in and near lakes, rivers, and other navigable waters. At least 365,000 pesticide applicators, including farmers, forestland owners, and public land managers, must now seek permit coverage. Approximately 10% of these entities can seek coverage under EPA's permit, with the rest reliant on state general or individual permits. Together, EPA estimates that the new permit requirements will more than double the total number of permittees under the Clean Water Act's (CWA) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program.

In this one-hour TeleBriefing, our distinguished panel, representing both industry and regulatory perspectives, will address the practical implications of the new permitting requirement and discuss strategies for compliance.
