\"\"(Beyond Pesticides<\/em>, March 27, 2018) In a major win for farmworker and health groups, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California\u00a0ruled last Wednesday<\/a>\u00a0the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) illegally delayed implementation of key pesticide rules that in part prevent minors from working with the most dangerous pesticides. The rule revised rules mandate pesticide applicators be at least 18 years old. According to the\u00a0EPA, there are about one million certified applicators nationwide. Before delaying implementation, the agency said the revised rule could prevent some 1,000 acute poisonings every year.<\/p>\n

In addition to requiring applicators to be at least 18-years-old, the revised 2017 Certification of Pesticide Applicators (CPA)<\/a> rule also improves the quality of training materials and says certified pesticide applicators must be able to read and understand the instructions. The main purpose of the CPA rule is to protect workers and the public from poisonings, by ensuring that those who handle the most dangerous pesticides are properly trained and certified.<\/p>\n

“We commend the court for recognizing that this important pesticide safeguard is needed to prevent injury to farmworkers and the public,\u201d said\u00a0Stacey Geis, Earthjustice managing attorney. \u201cThis ruling puts EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt on notice that the courts are going to be scrutinizing any rule that reduces health protections for farmworkers.”<\/p>\n

Just a few days ago EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt received a letter<\/a> from twenty-eight U.S. Senators urging the preservation of rules that would protect farmworkers and disallow minors to handle highly toxic pesticides.\u00a0In their letter, the Senators stress the impact of any potential changes, noting \u201cthe lives of children and families across the country at stake.\u201d<\/p>\n

After years of reviews, EPA published the\u00a0revised CPA Rule<\/a>\u00a0in the last days of the Obama Administration, updating for the first time in years how applicators of restricted use pesticides, or RUPs, are certified.\u00a0RUPs<\/a>\u00a0are the most toxic and dangerous pesticides on the market and can cause serious injury or death if they are improperly handled. But the then incoming Trump Administration quickly and quietly delayed the rule, while providing the public only four days to comment on the delay.<\/p>\n

The move prompted health and farmworker organizations represented by Earthjustice and Farmworker Justice to\u00a0file suit<\/a> on behalf of Farmworker Association of Florida, United Farm Workers, Pineros y Campesinos Unidos del Noroeste, California Rural Legal Assistance Foundation, and Pesticide Action Network North America. \u201cOur case was clear. There is no justification for delaying common-sense measures to prevent pesticide poisonings and deaths,\u201d said\u00a0Virginia Ruiz, director of occupational and environmental health at Farmworker Justice. \u201cEPA\u2019s blatant violation of the law jeopardizes public health.\u201d<\/p>\n

In its ruling, the court noted that before the delay, EPA made numerous findings of the inadequacy of the old regulations as they relate to RUPs, as well as the threat RUPs posed to people, particularly farmworkers. The judge also sent a strong message to the EPA by rejecting all the agency’s delays for failing to properly notify the public, and allow for comments. The court declared the original March 6, 2017, date as the effective date, making its ruling effective immediately. The ruling comes three months after the EPA\u00a0said\u00a0it wants to revise crucial parts of the CPA rule<\/a>, and its sister set of guidelines, the Agricultural Worker Protection Standard. It\u2019s still unclear when the EPA will open the proposed changes for public comments.<\/p>\n

Without proper enforcement and oversight, applicators, their clients, and the environment will be at risk. While striving to minimize adverse impact from pesticide use, stricter applicator standards are only one part of the solution. Instead of delaying important applicator standards, EPA must reduce the overall approval, sale, and use of pesticides that are proven to be hazardous to human and environmental health, and for which there are safer alternatives, keeping with its mandate that these products pose no unreasonable adverse effects on people and the environment.<\/p>\n

Congressional pushback is critical in stopping an agenda that has aimed to eliminate farmworker protections,\u00a0slash EPA staff<\/a>, and\u00a0keep highly toxic pesticides with known health risks on the market<\/a>. Thank you to those that have already\u00a0asked their Congressmembers to protect AWPS and CPA<\/a>. Continue to keep the pressure up\u00a0by sending a letter to your Congressional delegation today<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions which affect them directly.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/beyond-pesticides\/","https:\/\/x.com\/ByondPesticides","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/bpncamp\/"],"url":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/author\/beyond-pesticides\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22325","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22325"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22325\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22339,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22325\/revisions\/22339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22325"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22325"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22325"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
