Panel: Linda Michaluk, Victoria Huntington, Dr. Anthony Larsen
The appeal was from PUP 401-223-91/93 authorizing the application of MSMA to reduce/eliminate mountain pine beetle brood production.
The ground for appeal was that the use of MSMA could have a harmful effect on the environment. On the basis of evidence presented at the hearing, the Panel dismissed the appeal. Recommendations made by the Board prompted the Ministry of Forests to undertake an examination and compilation of information pertaining to MSMA and its effects.
