PESP Member for the Month
North American Pollinator Protection Campaign
San Francisco, California
PESP Member Since 2003
North American Pollinator Protection Campaign
(NAPPC), a recipient of the 2008 PESP Champion
award, works to protect the health of managed
and native pollinating animals vital to ecosystems
and agriculture. NAPPC achievements include:
• Promoted Guides for planting for pollinators. These
guides teach the reader about their region, highlight
tips on how to create a pollinator friendly habitat by
showing what type of plants attract which type of
pollinator, and ultimately illustrate how someone can
help the pollinators in their region. The guides are
available at http://www.pollinator.org/guides.htm.
• Coordinated local, national, and international action
projects in the areas of pollinator research, education
and awareness, conservation and restoration, policies
and practices, and special partnership initiatives.
• Facilitated communication among stakeholders, built
strategic coalitions, and leverage existing resources.
• Demonstrated a positive measurable impact on the
populations and health of pollinating animals.
• NAPPC has been instrumental in focusing attention
on the plight of pollinators and the need to protect
them throughout the tri-national region comprised of
the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Two such efforts were
the NAPPC Strategic Planning Conferences at the
National Academy of Sciences in Washington, DC. These
two conferences resulted in an ambitious but vitally
important and scientifically sound blueprint for pollinator
protection.

Announcing the First Statewide IPM Coordinator
Symposium in Texas
With the aid of a grant from EPA, Texas AgriLife Extension is
proud to announce the first of its kind, statewide conference
of school integrated pest management (IPM) coordinators in
Texas. In addition to providing a venue for communication
and information sharing, we intend to use the conference to
facilitate formation of a new, statewide association of school
IPM coordinators.
There are 1,031 school districts within the state of Texas, each
with at least one IPM coordinator. Currently, IPM coordinators
have little or no means of communicating with one another, nor
do they share information efficiently. As a result, they have
little political power and receive little professional recognition
or status within their districts or the agencies serving school
districts. The current system of training (private providers, TASB,
and AgriLife Extension) is not run by, directed or evaluated
by IPM coordinators; hence, they have little say in the quality,
frequency, or manner of training.
With the formation of a professional association for IPM
Coordinators underway, this day and half conference will allow
IPM Coordinators and other professionals to come together to
learn and share information about their IPM programs. The
conference has organized a great slate of speakers, and
vendors are signing up to show what they have to offer.
Registration is $75 per person. Please pass the information
on to others who may be interested. On the registration page,
there is a link to the Embassy Suites hotel and conference center
in San Marcos. There are special rates as well for booking
rooms.
Just follow the link http://agrilifevents.tamu.edu/index.cfm and
select "IPM Coordinator Statewide Meeting and Conference"
everything else is on the webpage. You can either register online
or call conference services directly. Texas AgriLife Extension
takes Visa, MasterCard, Discover, checks, or Purchase Orders.
While each person has to register separately, one PO number
will pay for more than one person from a school district.
Texas AfriLife Extension looks forward to this first meeting of
it's kind. Help them make it a success and help others like
yourself network to make school IPM better in Texas. For more
information about school IPM, go to http://schoolipm.tamu.

Comment Invited on Request for Azinphos-Methyl
(AZM) Use Changes
EPA is requesting public comment on a request from azinphos-
methyl (AZM) registrants to amend their registrations. These
amendments would change the rate reductions for some
remaining uses of AZM, and would extend the use of aerially
applied AZM on blueberry crops in Michigan until the end of
the AZM phase out in 201 2. The registrants have not requested
to extend use of AZM beyond the September 30, 2012,
cancellation date for the remaining uses of AZM. The public
comment period will close on September 21, 2009. Please
submit comments to the AZM docket, EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0365,
at www.regulations.gov. To read the Federal Register Notice,
see http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2009/E9-l 7398.htm.
AZM is an organophosphate insecticide that was first registered
in the United States in 1 959. On November 1 6,2006, EPA issued
a determination that, due to farm worker and ecological risks,
all remaining uses of AZM will be phased out by September
30, 201 2. For more information on the AZM phase out, please
visit AZM Phaseout Website.

Pollinators Win Big in NRCS Conservation Innovation
Grants
The Xerces Society received $458,000, the Pollinator Partnership
received $1 83,954, and the Gold Ridge Resource Conservation
District received $71,500 to understand and protect habitat for
pollinators and other beneficial insects. Pollinator Partnership
and Gold Ridge RCD aim to develop habitat plans to support
pollinators and enhance habitats.
Pollinators are essential to our environment. The ecological
service they provide is necessary for the reproduction of nearly
70% of the world's flowering plants. This includes more than
two-thirds of the world's crop species and these fruits and seeds
provide over 30% of the foods and beverages that we consume.
The United States alone grows more than one hundred crops
that either need or benefit from pollinators. The economic value
of insect-pollinated crops in the United States was estimated
to be $1 8.9 billion in 2000. Native insects are responsible for
pollinating at least $3 billion worth of these crops.
Native pollinators across the United States are in decline,
especially in heavily managed landscapes. Managed pollinators,
including honey bees, are in need of increased pollen diversity
to help bolster their resistance to disease, pesticides, and other
stresses.
The Xerces Society will use the grants to achieve various
objectives. The objectives include developing and testing
pollinator habitat job sheets for six regions of the United States.
Providing additional forage and refuge through on-farm
natural habitat is widely recognized as important for enhancing
pollinator health, diversity, and abundance. The Xerces Society
will work with regional partners to standardize pollinator
seed mixes and habitat specifications for different agricultural
industries and landscapes.
Also, critical to this project's success are the USDA NRCS Plant
Material Centers (PMCs). Plant Material Centers play a vital
role in helping the NRCS complete its mission of natural resource
conservation. Six of the nation's 27 NRCS PMCs will help plant
pollinator habitat as part of this project and promote agricultural
sustainability through conserving beneficial insects. The Xerces
Society will develop guidelines for beneficial insect habitat and
engage growers and NRCS staff through workshops across the
state.
"If we hope to conserve biological diversity we must work within
agricultural landscapes," said Scott Hoffman Black, Executive
Director of the Xerces Society. "Both of these projects will
provide vital information that will allow us to provide habitat
for pollinators and other beneficial insects, which in turn will
provide benefits for a broad variety of birds, fish and other
animals."
Atrazine Updates
Atrazine is a herbicide for controlling weeds that compete with
desirable plants such as food crops, pasture, and other types of
plants, as well as golf course turf and residential lawns. One of
the most widely used pesticides in the U.S., atrazine is also among
the most intensively examined pesticides in the marketplace. This
website contains more information about Atrazine.
EPA's OPP has determined that atrazine is safe when used
according to approved label directions and precautions. In
making this finding, the Agency ensured that children, women
of child-bearing age, and other sensitive subpopulations are
protected. The Agency's risk assessments for atrazine are based
on effects on the most sensitive subpopulation, developing
children, and include factors to ensure that any uncertainties
are taken into account. If at any time atrazine data raise new
risk concerns, EPA will modify its regulatory controls for atrazine
as appropriate.
The Atrazines Updates website provides results to date from
the programs, activities, and studies required by EPA's Atrazine
Reregistration Eligibility Decision of 2003, including: OPP's
Monitoring in Community Water Systems, Ecological Watershed
Monitoring Program, Cancer, and Amphibians.
EPA's 2006 triazine cumulative risk assessment considered the
combined effects of atrazine and simazine, two closely related
triazine herbicides. EPA concluded that cumulative exposures
to these pesticides through food and drinking water are safe
and meet the rigorous human health standards set forth in the
Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA). In other words, the levels
of atrazine and simazine that Americans are exposed to in
their food and drinking water, combined, are below the level
that would potentially cause health effects. EPA is currently
revising its 2006 triazine cumulative risk assessment, taking
into consideration additional monitoring data, as well as public
comments the Agency received. The Agency expects to issue the
revised cumulative assessment and a response to comments on
the 2006 assessment in late 2009.

EPA Reaches Settlement with Nation's Largest
Manufacturer Of Hospital Disinfectants; Company
Agrees To Pay $550,000 In Penalties
EPA recently settled a third pesticide enforcement case against
Lonza Inc., the nation's largest manufacturer of hospital
disinfectants, for multiple violations of the federal law that
regulates pesticides. Most recently, the New Jersey-based
company agreed to pay more than $550,000 in fines for
allegedly making misleading claims regarding the efficacy
of two products. The settlement is one of the largest civil
penalties assessed under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Combined with earlier settlements, the
penalties total over $640,000. Under a previous settlement,
the company also developed a ground-breaking supplemental
environmental project, valued at $390,000.
"It may surprise people to know that part of EPA's job is to make
sure disinfectants are as effective as they claim, and we take
this job very seriously," George Pavlou, Acting EPA Regional
Administrator said. "Products that make claims that are not met
put people at risk of getting sick. We are pleased that Lonza
has agreed to not only pay penalties but to take steps that will
go a long way toward rectifying the problem."
Before any pesticide is sold in the U.S., it must go through EPA's
vigorous registration process. During this process, companies
must provide health studies and environmental information about
the product to ensure that its proper use does not cause any
negative human or environmental effects. It is incumbent upon
the manufacturer to ensure that a product functions as stated on
the label. If EPA decides to register the product, it grants the
manufacturer an EPA registration number, which is listed on the
product. EPA also works closely with the manufacturer on the
label language to make sure that it is clear and as specific as
possible about how the product may be used.
Products cited for inefficacy in the most recent case were:
Saniphor No. 450, registered as a tuberculocide, but found
ineffective against a bacterium that causes tuberculosis; and
7 Healthcare Disinfectant Neutral Cleaner, which EPA tests
determined did not kill the pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
as claimed on the label. In addition, Klear Guard Tub & Tile
Foaming Germicidal Cleaner was cited as misbranded for use
of a label with missing first aid information.
In addition to monetary fines, EPA's earlier settlement with
Lonza Inc. required it to implement the innovative supplemental
environmental project. Lonza has already begun its project to
institute rigorous quality assurance and product efficacy testing
at more than 470 formulators of Lonza products nationwide.
This will help ensure that the products sold are effective and
provide public health protection.

dispose of them, call the National Pesticide Information Center

EPA Fines New Mexico Pesticide Company Maximum
Allowable Penalty for Illegal Pesticide Application
EPA fined PDI Pest Control Co., $650 -- the maximum penalty
for first-time offenders applying registered "general use"
pesticides -- for allegedly using pesticides contrary to label
requirements at a daycare center on Navajo Nation lands.
An employee of PDI Pest Control Co., a pesticide applicator,
applied Tempo SC Ultra in an occupied classroom where contact
by people could occur contrary to explicit label instructions. The
pesticides were improperly applied at the Ganado Child Care
facility in Ganado, Ariz.
"This company's failure to apply the pesticide correctly may
have put children at risk," said Katherine Taylor, associate
director of the Communities and Ecosystems Division in the EPA's
Pacific Southwest region. "Companies must ensure employees
applying pesticides protect people from exposure by following
all label requirements."
The Navajo Nation Environmental Protection Agency discovered
the violation during a routine inspection in October 2008.
Navajo Nation inspectors are authorized to inspect for violations
of both Navajo and federal pesticide laws.
Before selling or distributing any pesticide in the United States,
companies must register the pesticide with EPA and include
labeling directions for use and other information necessary
to protect human health and the environment. Federal law
requires that pesticide applicators comply with these labeling
directions during pesticide applications to protect their workers
and the public. For more information on pesticide regulation
and enforcement, please visit EPA's Web site at: http://www.

EPA Grant to University Of Chicago For Research On
Food Allergy Triggers
EPA has awarded a $433,1 00 grant to the University of Chicago
to investigate how allergic reactions to food are initiated. The
research is expected to lead to improved methods to assess
whether pesticides produced in genetically engineered plants
can trigger food allergies. The study is funded through EPA's
Science to Achieve Results program (STAR).
"There is a shortage of information on how food allergies
develop, what causes the allergic reaction, and how to prevent
them," said Lek Kadeli, acting assistant administrator for the
Office of Research and Development. "This study will bring
us closer to identifying key immune factors that lead to food
allergies, which affect approximately 3 million children in the
United States."
The University of Chicago, in conjunction with Northwestern
University, will work to determine why specific antibodies
start reacting to foods and allergens when they are eaten.
Understanding this process will help determine how food can
trigger an allergic response and could help predict the potential
for people to develop allergies to new genetically engineered
foods. With better understanding of how foods trigger allergic
responses, scientists will be equipped to develop new tests
for adverse effects from these foods and interpret data from
toxicity tests required by regulation.
Each year, food allergies impact more than 1 1 million
Americans, instigate more than 30,000 emergency room visits,
and in rare cases can lead to death. The number of allergy-
related incidences in the United States doubled between 1 997
and 2002.
EPA regulates the use of all pesticides in the United States,
establishes acceptable levels for pesticide residues in food, and
evaluates human health and ecological risks under authority
of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act and
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The following web
sites contain more information on the study http://www.epa.
gov/ncer/uchicago/foodallergy/ and on EPA's STAR program:

Neosho, Mo., Pesticide Firm to Pay $100,000 in Civil
Penalties To Settle Allegations Of Improper Packaging,
Labeling And Sales
A southwest Missouri pesticide dealer has agreed to pay
$1 00,000 in civil penalties to the United States to settle a series
of alleged violations of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act, also known as FIFRA.
Greenleaf, LLC, of 1 3960 Palm Road, Neosho, neither admits
nor denies any of the allegations contained in an administrative
consent agreement and final order, filed June 1 6, 2009, by the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 7 in Kansas City,
Kansas.
According to the agreement, a representative of the Missouri
Department of Agriculture conducted an inspection of
Greenleaf's Neosho facilities on January 8, 2008. Based on
that inspection and a review of records, the agreement alleges
that the company was in violation of various aspects of federal
pesticide regulations, including:
• Distributing or selling approximately 59 different
unregistered pesticides whose contents had been
manipulated and did not meet FIFRA registration
requirements.
• Distributing or selling approximately 27 different
misbranded pesticides.
• Holding for sale or distribution two pesticides whose
composition differed from what was described in a
required registration statement.
• Failing to file a 2007 annual pesticide report for its
Neosho facilities.
• Failing to prepare, maintain or submit other required
records.
Greenleaf remains legally incorporated in the State of Arkansas,
but has ceased operating its only business locations, in Neosho
and Pineville, Mo. On November 19, 2008, in a separate but
related matter handled by the United States Attorney for the
Western District of Missouri, Greenleaf entered a corporate
guilty plea to a criminal charge of violating federal pesticide
laws and agreed to pay a maximum fine of $200,000.
According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, from January 2007 to
January 2008 the firm received broken bags and unwanted
pesticides from Wal-Mart stores throughout the United States,
and then redistributed and sold more than two million pounds
of the products after improperly repackaging them. The
$100,000 civil penalty that Greenleaf has agreed to pay in
settlement to EPA is separate from the $200,000 fine that the
company agreed to pay in the criminal case.
