## Summary

**Limits federal Clean Water Act permit requirements for pesticide discharges that are consistent with pesticides authorized under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).** This bill would stop the EPA or a State from requiring a Clean Water Act section 402 permit for a point-source discharge into navigable waters of a pesticide or its residue when the pesticide is sold, distributed, or used as authorized under FIFRA. - Farmers and pesticide applicators would generally not need separate Clean Water Act permits for routine pesticide applications and resulting residues when they use FIFRA-authorized products. Exceptions cover applications that violate FIFRA provisions protecting water or that increase the amount of pesticide discharged because of the violation. - Pesticide manufacturers and distributors face fewer permitting hurdles when products are used as authorized under FIFRA because residues from normal application would not trigger section 402 permits. - EPA and State regulators retain permit authority for stormwater, manufacturing or industrial effluent, wastewater treatment plant discharges, and discharges incidental to vessel operations because the bill explicitly exempts those categories.

## Provisions PRIA read

- Fewer water permits for pesticide applicators: benefit, medium. If enacted, EPA and states would not require a Clean Water Act permit for most pesticide discharges from normal application. This would apply to point source discharges into navigable waters when the product is authorized under federal pesticide law (FIFRA). Some discharges would still need permits…
