Panel: Linda Michaluk, Dr. Olga Barrat, Dr. John Smith
The appeal was from Pesticide Use Permit 401-217a-91/93 authorizing application of TORDON 22K within specified portions of the Kamloops Forest District for the control and containment of noxious weeds on Crown Land.
The grounds for appeal included concerns about the federal registration of pesticides, the presence of inert ingredients in the full formulation and the effects of the use of the pesticide on the environment. The Board found there was no evidence presented to support the Appellant’s position and denied the appeal. The permit was amended to address such things as locations of private wells and restrictions governing the application of TORDON 22K to certain soil types. Recommendations concerning permit advertisement and the obligations/responsibilities of Pesticide Control Committee members were made.
