SNIPS
Not all news needs to be covered through an extended article. But it is still important that you know about activities and decisions that may affect your business, communities and families. To help keep you informed, the Division of Compliance Assistance (DCA) routinely compiles a short listing of state and federal topics that we call SNIPS. If you have questions about these items or need environmental assistance, contact DCA at 800-926-8111 or envhelp@ky.gov.
- Public Notices for DAQ, DWM and DOW – Check this site for any public notices for the Division for Air Quality, Division of Waste Management and Division of Water.
- EPA Proposes Stronger Standards for People Applying Pesticides – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed stronger standards for pesticide applicators who apply “restricted-use” pesticides. These pesticides are not available for purchase by the general public, require special handling and may only be applied by a certified applicator or someone working under his or her direct supervision. The EPA encourages public comments, which must be received on or before Nov. 23, 2015.
