At the IPM Training for Professional Landscapers meeting held in San Diego a couple of weeks ago, one of the speakers (from Blankinship and Asso.) gave a nice presentation about the permitting process needed when applying herbicides near or in waters. The NPDES permit has some upcoming changes so this presentation points out some of those changes as well.
If you, your company, or your agency is applying pesticides in those situations, it would good for you to review this presentation:
