| Abstract/Contents: | Provides an update on clopyralid contamination of composts in Washington. Focuses on the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) restricting the use of clopyralid use and Dow Agro-Sciences, manufacturer of clopyralid, not making a commitment to decrease the use of pesticides containing clopyralid. States that "WSDA is planning to release its draft rule for public comment by early to mid-February with a 30 day public comment and public hearing process. The department anticipates adopting an emergency rule by April 1, 2002, with it being effective immediately. Since emergency rules are only in effect for 120 days, a permanent rule would need to be in place by July 1, 2002. The reason for WSDA not making the permanent rule effective by April 1 is that it has to conduct a Small Business Economic Impact Assessment for any new rulemaking process. Such an analysis would consist of a survey of commercial applicators and growers regarding the economic impact of restricting the use of clopyralid-containing pesticides. It is unclear if WSDA will consider the economic impact of not having these restrictions on the compsting industry, organic and sustainable agriculture, and farming interests such as dairies, which may not be able to manage their manure through on-site or off-site composting. It is also unclear how the results of such an economic analysis will affect the permanent rule or what mitigation measures would be considered." |
