Summary of Comments from Legislative Committees:
The rule was referred to the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Environmental Resources and the Assembly Committee on Agriculture on August 27, 1997. The Assembly Committee on Agriculture did not take any action on the rule during its review period. However, the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Environmental Resources held a hearing and requested the department accept the rule for modification based on hearing testimony.
The department agreed to insert a note after the proposed s. 31.08 (4) (b)2., Stats. The note explains that the repeal of a prohibition area does not limit the department's responsibility to take reasonable action to minimize contamination to achieve compliance with the preventive action limit. Further, the department may reinstate a repealed prohibition area if testing shows an increasing trend of pesticide contamination.
The note reads:
“The repeal of a prohibition area does not affect any responsibility which the department has under s. ATCP 31.07 to take other appropriate action to minimize the concentration of the pesticide substance where technically and economically feasible, and to restore and maintain compliance with the preventive action limit. The department may also reinstate a repealed prohibition area if groundwater testing at a point of standards application shows an increasing trend of pesticide contamination, suggesting that contamination may again attain or exceed the enforcement standard.”
