EPA PESTICIDE MITIGATION WEBSITE WEBINAR

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will hold a public webinar on June 18, 2024, from 10 am to 11 am to provide an overview of its mitigation menu website describing options for reducing pesticide exposure to nontarget species from agricultural crop uses. Pesticide labels and bulletins requiring runoff or erosion measures will refer to this website so users can quickly find the most updated list of mitigation options.

The webinar will include:

• A brief background on the goal and development of the mitigation menu.
• A demonstration of how users would follow new label directions using the website.
• An explanation of how to navigate the website.
• Directions on how to access other resources associated with the website.
• An opportunity for questions and feedback on the proposed function of the menu, the website, and the use of the website for ESA strategies and additional types of mitigation (e.g., spray drift).
