RODENTICIDE STAKEHOLDER WORKGROUP
WILL HOLD SECOND PUBLIC MEETING
WILL HOLD SECOND PUBLIC MEETING
EPA’s Rodenticide Stakeholder Workgroup, established under the Pesticide Program Dialogue Committee, will hold its second public meeting on Wednesday, June 9, and Thursday, June 10, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m., at the National Rural Electric Cooperative Conference Center in Arlington, Va. The rodenticide workgroup was created to explore and recommend ways to reduce the risk of exposure to rodent control products, especially accidental exposures experienced by young children. Members of the workgroup represent public health and environmental organizations, industry groups, government agencies and the general public. EPA will use the workgroup’s recommendations in developing a strategy to reduce the risks of exposure to rodenticides while preserving their pubic health benefits. The stakeholder process consists of a series of public meetings at which options and proposals for reducing risks will be discussed and analyzed. Members of the public are encouraged to attend and provide oral or written statements. The third rodenticide workgroup meeting is scheduled for July 14.
