Agency Decision Text
The Pesticide Control Board determined at its July 21, 2011 meeting that the placement
of a pesticide product inside cotton boll weevil traps by cotton boll weevil surveyors
working under the auspices of VDACS can be accomplished with minimal risk to the public
health and safety. At its meeting on October 20, 2011, the Board will hold a public
hearing regarding the exempt regulatory action to amend 2 VAC 20-51, Regulations Governing
Pesticide Applicator Certification Under Authority of Virginia Pesticide Control Act,
to include the requested exemption.
