News by : (The Hill) -
A group of 92 House lawmakers wrote a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Monday asking it to reconsider its proposed rule decreasing allowances for a widely used herbicide.  EPA Administrator Michael Regan has taken aim at the use of atrazine, commonly used to protect corn, sugarcane and other crops from weeds, as part of a yearslong review of the herbicide that included an agency risk assessment in 2016 finding certain levels can pose risks for animals like fish and amphibians. The proposed rule would seek to lower atrazine runoff by prohibiting application of the herbicide from the air, restricting annual use to 2 pounds per acre and banning use within 48 hours
