Training Description:
Neal Kittelson (MDA) presents on the EPA's updated pesticide labels that include new Endangered Species Act protections. Conservation professionals may play a key role in helping agricultural producers navigate compliance. This presentation explores the intersection of pesticide regulation and conservation, highlighting how future and existing land management practices and conservation programs can contribute to meeting ESA mitigation requirements.
Recent changes to pesticide labeling introduce conservation practices as options to fulfill mitigation requirements related to spray drift and runoff/erosion. This talk provides insights into EPA’s new mitigation frameworks, including the use of online tools like Bulletins Live! Two and EPA's Mitigation Menu website, and how programs like NRCS's EQIP and the MDA's Minnesota Agricultural Water Quality Certification Program can support compliance. The presentation emphasizes the importance of technical assistance, proactive planning, and thorough documentation, while showing how conservation professionals can be valuable partners in supporting ESA compliance efforts.
