The following pesticide active ingredients have been found
in California’s drinking water from legal agricultural
use and are listed in Section 6800(a) in Title 3 of the
California Code of Regulations (3 CCR).
- Atrazine (Aatrex)
- Bentazon (Basagran)
- Bromacil (Hyvar, Krovar)
- Diuron except products with less
than 7% diuron that are applied to foliage (Karmex,
Krovar).
- Norflurazon (Solicam, Predict, Zorial)
- Prometon (Pramitol)
- Simazine (Princep)
Pesticide products labeled for agricultural, outdoor
institutional, or outdoor industrial uses that contain
any of these active ingredients require a permit when
used in GWPAs.
Other chemicals also have the potential to move to
groundwater, but have not been detected in groundwater
samples. Hence, although they are included in 3 CCR
section 6800(b), they do not require a permit for use.
Remember, for the GWPA regulations to apply, you must
be using one of the above pesticides AND be applying
them in a Designated GWPA.
I've checked and I want to use one of the listed pesticides.
