Shirley E. Marshall <br /> Chair <br /> Orange County Commissioners <br /> 106 East Margaret Lane <br /> Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 <br /> Dear Shirley: <br /> I appreciate sending me the Orange County Board of <br /> Commissioners resolution regarding regulations to control the <br /> use of pesticides . <br /> As you may know, the Congress intends to amend the Federal <br /> Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) this year. <br /> The Senate it currently marking up its version of the <br /> amendments and the House is expected to take action on its <br /> version (H.R. 2463) in the spring. There are provisions in <br /> both bills to strengthen regulations and guidelines for <br /> pesticide applicators as well as requiring the reregistration <br /> of inadequately tested pesticides . Currently, there are no <br /> provisions in either bill concerning aerial spraying of <br /> pesticides . There are provisions within the bill to require <br /> the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to protect <br /> groundwater from pesticide contamination and to use groundwater <br /> residue guidance levels as a basis for protecting the <br /> groundwater. <br /> I appreciate having your input on this matter and will be <br /> keeping your concerns in mind as FIFRA legislation progresses . <br /> Again, thank you for writing. Please do not hesitate to <br /> contact me regarding this or any other matter of concern. <br /> Si erely, <br /> 1 <br /> DAVID PRICE <br /> Member of Congress <br /> DEP/mpc <br /> l <br />
