ISDA Pesticide Management Approach to EPA Grant Guidance • Monitor compliance with and enforce non-compliance with water quality protection as enumerated on labeling. • Implement routine inspections in areas of known ground & surface water pesticide detections. • Education • Evaluate the success using water monitoring information.

  4. Surface Water ProgramDeveloping a Program • Develop a surface water approach • Ag and Urban watersheds • Salmonid bearing streams • CWA 303(d) pesticide listed streams • Conduct monitoring, & response • Ensure proper use of pesticides and the protection of the environment from pesticides • 303(d) list; add or remove
