The California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) will hold three public workshops on Nov. 7, 9 and 10 to collect feedback and provide an update on the development of the statewide pesticide application notification system.
The workshops are designed to gather public feedback on the notification pilot projects in Riverside, Santa Cruz, Stanislaus and Ventura counties and the statewide notification system. DPR staff will answer questions and share planned next steps regarding the statewide notification system. Feedback received during the workshops will inform the continued development of the statewide system.
