The idea for a pesticide use plan for Long Island arose almost 20 years ago, as a result of a 1996 proposed federal rule that would have indirectly required states to develop state management plans to address potential contamination from the application of certain pesticides. The federal rule was not adopted, but, in 1998, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) issued an annual report under the state’s pesticide reporting law1 that included a recommendation that it develop a Long Island pesticides management plan.
It took until 2009 for the DEC to distribute a draft of a pesticides-management plan for Long Island to stakeholders for their review and comment. It then took until October 2011 for another version to be made available.
