(Beyond Pesticides, December 13, 2011) Despite opposition from Lake Tahoe water providers and environmental groups, the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board (LRWQCB) voted last week to allow the use of pesticides to control invasive species like Asian clams and the underwater plants Eurasian watermilfoil and curly leaf pondweed. For years, the rules regulating pesticide use in Lake Tahoe limited their use to below detectable levels, creating a \u201cde facto prohibition,\u201d explains Mary Fiore-Wagner, an environmental scientist with the LRWQCB. The decision to allow the use of pesticides in the lake now rests in the hands of California State Water Resources Control Board.<\/p>\n

\"\"Carl Young, interim executive director of the League to Save Lake Tahoe\/Keep Tahoe Blue, told the Associated Press<\/em> that the plan poses a threat to the lake’s water quality and the public’s health, and he’s concerned visitors and residents could be exposed to pesticides through Tahoe’s fish and drinking water. The League is urging regulators to use non-chemical methods, including bottom barriers that involve the use of large mats to starve the species of sunlight and oxygen. The aquatic plants can be managed through mechanical harvesting.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers estimates economic impacts from introductions of new aquatic invasive species at $417.5 million over 50 years. It cites property values and lost tourism spending as the largest impacts. Asian clams were brought to the U.S. in the 1920\u2019s for food and have become a nuisance in Lake Tahoe. Because of their nutrient-rich waste, they are blamed for contributing to cloudiness in of the lake\u2019s famously clear water. The nonnative plant species, Eurasian watermilfoil and curly leaf pondweed, are considered a problem because they could clog intakes for the region\u2019s water supply system. Despite these concerns, the head of the local water supply association still opposes the use of pesticides.<\/p>\n

Greg Reed, Board Chairman of Tahoe Water Suppliers Associations, told the Tahoe Daily Tribune<\/em> that he is \u201cvery concerned\u201d about the impacts aquatic pesticides could have on drinking water at Lake Tahoe. He told the newspaper that he was \u201cappreciated of water board staff’s efforts to diminish any effects of pesticide use on water quality,\u201d but said, \u201cThe possibility of contaminated water is a frightening one.\u201d Many water providers draw drinking water directly from the lake and would be unable to filter out any pesticides that reach their intake pipes, Mr. Reed added. The Tahoe Water Suppliers Associations unsuccessfully lobbied the LRWQCB to impose a five-year moratorium on any chemical use on projects at Lake Tahoe, giving more time to study potential adverse impacts.<\/p>\n

Pesticides that are likely to be used to control these species include copper sulfate<\/a> (Asian clams) and glyphosate<\/a> (Eurasian watermilfoil and curly leaf pondweed). Copper sulfate is an irritant and is linked to adverse reproductive effects and organ damage. Glyphosate, the active ingredient in RoundUp and its aquatic counterpart Rodeo, is linked to non-Hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma, neurotoxicity, adverse reproductive effects, and organ damage. As expected, both copper<\/a> and glyphosate<\/a> have been shown in the scientific literature to have adverse impacts on aquatic ecosystems. <\/p>\n

“I think honestly this is coming down to human health issues,” Carl Young told the Associated Press<\/em>. “They can say all they want that [pesticides] won’t harm people, but it’s poison and it can kill things.”
\n
\nTake Action:<\/strong> Before pesticides can be used in Lake Tahoe, the California State Water Resources Control Board and then the Environmental Protection Agency must weigh in. Beyond Pesticides will update this story when the public comment period<\/a> opens in California. <\/em><\/p>\n

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! 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.

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! 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\/6484","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=6484"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6484\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6494,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6484\/revisions\/6494"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6484"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6484"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6484"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
