National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for Ozone and Coarse Particulate Matter (PM): In recent years the organization has commented on proposed changes in the NAAQS for ozone and coarse PM. EPA is expected to announce decisions on both regulations in the months ahead. Reducing the standards for ozone and coarse PM will affect rural counties. The organization encouraged House members to cosign the Lummis "Dear Colleague" letter to EPA urging retention of the current PM standard. "The Chesapeake Clean Water and Ecosystem Restoration Act of 2009" (S. 1816/H.R. 3852): Legislation to amend the "Federal Water Pollution Control Act" to reauthorie the Chesapeake Bay Program and require the Environmental Protection Agency to establish a Chesapeake Bay protection program, and other purposes. Of interest to the organization are the potential implications of the bill if similar actions are taken in other watersheds across the United States. The Chesapeake Bay Program Reauthorization and Improvement Act (H.R. 5509): Legislation to modify the Chesapeake Bay Program under the Clean Water Act, establish an independent commission to oversee and administer a nutrient and sediment trading program for Chesapeake Bay States, establish a Chesapeake Bay watershed pilot program for creating environmental service markets, and other purposes. Of interest to the organization is the proposed approach to addressing water quality issues and the potential for similar actions in watersheds outside of the Chesapeake Bay. "Draft National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Pesticide General Permit (PGP) for Point Source Discharges from the Application of Pesticides": The EPA issued the PGP in response to the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals decision to vacate an EPA rule exempting from NPDES permitting pesticide applications made to or over, including near, waters of the U.S. according to label requirements of the "Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA)." The organization submitted comments detailing concerns about the PGP. H.R. 6087/S. 3735: Legislation to clarify that lawful application of pesticides under the FIFRA does not trigger regulatory requirements in other programs. The organization supports the bill because it reaffirms the purpose of FIFRA and as a result pesticides applied to or near water, in accordance with the FIFRA label, would not be considered a pollutant under the "Federal Water Pollution Control Act (also referred to as the Clean Water Act or CWA)." H.R. 6273: Legislation to amend the FIFRA and CWA to prohibit the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from requiring additional permits for pesticides when applied consistent with FIFRA. H.R. 6273 is similar to H.R. 6087.
