PILOT PROJECTS AND BETA TESTING


2023-2024 NOTIFICATION (SPRAYDAYS) BETA TEST

Between October 2023 and February 2024, DPR conducted a small group beta test of
the proposed SprayDays California notification system in Tulare County. The beta
test included 165 participants comprised of community members, County
Agricultural Commissioner staff and local agricultural representatives. During
the beta test more than 200 text messages and emails were distributed to beta
test participants to test system functionality, user navigation and design.

The beta test collected valuable feedback from participants to inform a
streamlined statewide rollout of the SprayDays system.


2022 NOTIFICATION PILOT PROJECTS

In 2022, County Agricultural Commissioners in Riverside, Santa Cruz, Stanislaus
and Ventura counties volunteered to partner with DPR to launch pilot projects to
support the development of a statewide pesticide application notification
system. The county-led pilot projects were launched between February and July
2022 in the following communities: Mecca and North Shore, Eastern Coachella
Valley (Riverside County); Senior Village Community, Watsonville (Santa Cruz
County); Grayson (Stanislaus County); and Nyeland Acres Community, Oxnard
(Ventura County).

UC Davis Pilot Evaluation: DPR contracted with researchers from the UC Davis
Center for Regional Change to independently conduct an evaluation of the four
pilot projects to inform the development of the statewide notification system.
The Outcome and Process Evaluation for Four Pilot Projects for the Statewide
Notification System was released in May 2023.



PUBLIC PARTICIPATION

As part of the process to develop a statewide pesticide notification system, DPR
conducted a series of public webinars and workshops to collect feedback that
informed the design and development of SprayDays California.


REGULATORY HEARINGS AND PUBLIC COMMENT: NOVEMBER 2023 – JANUARY 2024

The department held three public hearings in December 2023 and hosted a public
comment period between November 2023 and January 2024 to collect input on its
proposed regulation.

The public comments will be available on this website page following DPR’s
review.

FOCUS GROUP FEEDBACK: AUGUST 2021

DPR hosted a series of focus groups in August 2021 for community residents and
groups, regulatory agencies, growers, and regulated industries with the purpose
of gathering insight for the development of the notification network. The
meetings were designed as listening sessions for DPR to hear stakeholders’
thoughts and concerns about the benefits and challenges of a statewide pesticide
notification system and to provide input on the design parameters. The focus
groups were facilitated by neutral facilitators from the California State
University, Sacramento Consensus and Collaboration Program (CCP).

Summaries from the focus group discussions are available. (En Español, PDF)


FAQS


WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE STATEWIDE PESTICIDE APPLICATION NOTIFICATION SYSTEM?

The purpose of the notification system is to provide transparent and equitable
access to information in advance of pesticide applications. The statewide
notification system will complement existing pesticide laws and regulations that
protect public health and the environment.


WHAT PESTICIDES WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE STATEWIDE NOTIFICATION SYSTEM?

The proposed statewide system design would prioritize and provide notification
for Restricted Material pesticides, which present higher potential risk to
public health and environmental impacts than other pesticides.


WHAT ARE RESTRICTED MATERIAL PESTICIDES?

Restricted Materials are pesticides that pose a higher potential risk to public
health or the environment compared to other pesticides, and they may only be
applied by licensed pesticide applicators.

During evaluation and reevaluation, the department classifies certain pesticide
active ingredients that pose relatively greater risk to human health or the
environment as Restricted Materials. Restricted Material pesticides have more
limits on use and are subject to greater oversight by DPR and County
Agricultural Commissioners (CAC) than other registered pesticides. They may be
applied only by specially licensed applicators, require locally issued permits
through the local CAC, and are subject to additional use conditions (for
example, a larger buffer zone or additional restrictions such as the use of
total impermeable film (TIF) tarps during and after application).

Following CAC approval of a permit application, a grower or applicator must
submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) for CAC approval of a specific Restricted
Material pesticide application. The NOI must list the intended date and time of
the application The CAC reviews the NOI, approved permit, site, date, and
current conditions for potential risks to people or the environment. The CAC may
approve the NOI, deny the NOI or require additional measures to protect against
identified risks. If the CAC approves the NOI, the grower or designated
representative has four days to begin applying the Restricted Material.

Restricted Material permits are valid for a period of 1-3 years, which may vary
by county and in length depending on the crops grown in that specific region.

More information on Restricted Materials regulated by DPR can be found at
Restricted Materials Use Requirements (ca.gov).


WHAT IS A NOTICE OF INTENT?

A Notice of Intent (NOI) is a document submitted by a grower or designated
representative to the local County Agricultural Commissioner (CAC) indicating
the site and intended start date for a Restricted Material application.
Restricted Materials are pesticides that pose a higher potential risk to public
health or the environment compared to other pesticides, so they may only be
applied by licensed pesticide applicators.

The NOI supplements a Restricted Material permit approved and issued by the
local CAC. The grower or designated representative must submit an NOI at least
24 hours in advance of each application.

Once submitted, the CAC reviews the NOI, approved permit, site, date, and
current conditions for potential risks to people or the environment. The CAC may
approve the NOI, deny the NOI or require additional measures to protect against
identified risks. If the CAC approves the NOI, the grower or designated
representative has four days to begin applying the Restricted Material.


HOW WILL THE STATEWIDE NOTIFICATION SYSTEM INDICATE WHERE AN APPLICATION WILL
TAKE PLACE?

The proposed system design would pull location information from the NOIs
submitted by growers or designated representatives as part of the permitting
process for using Restricted Material pesticides. The location information
submitted on NOIs is based on a statewide mapping grid system that displays the
general area where the application will take place, down to a resolution of 1
square mile.


HOW MUCH ADVANCE NOTICE OF A PLANNED PESTICIDE APPLICATION WILL THE SYSTEM
PROVIDE?

The system will provide notice 24 hours in advance of the application of all
California restricted material pesticides and 48 hours in advance of fumigants.


HOW DOES DPR REGULATE PESTICIDES TO PROTECT THE HEALTH OF COMMUNITIES, WORKERS,
AND THE ENVIRONMENT?

DPR's mission is to protect human health and the environment by fostering
sustainable pest management and regulating pesticides.

DPR operates a robust regulatory system to evaluate and register pesticides and
monitor and regulate their sale and use across the state.

DPR’s work includes conducting scientific evaluations of pesticides to assess
and mitigate potential harm to human health and the environment prior to and
following registration, registering all pesticides prior to sale or use in
California, monitoring for pesticides in the air and water, and enforcing
pesticide laws and regulations in coordination with 55 County Agricultural
Commissioners and their combined 500 field inspectors across the state’s 58
counties. DPR invests in innovative research, outreach, and education to
encourage the development and adoption of integrated pest management tools and
practices and conducts outreach to ensure pesticide workers, farmworkers and
local communities have access to pesticide safety information.

The health and safety of farmworker communities is a top priority for DPR. State
Regulations 3 CCR 6700 are in place to protect farm workers and ensure health
and safety for those working in the fields where pesticide applications occur.
DPR’s Worker Health and Safety Branch oversees compliance with these regulations
through its programs. The program provides training and outreach to increase
education and awareness around safety for workers and fieldworkers, and staff
monitor human health risks and develop mitigation measures to address any
identified risks. Staff also monitor and track all reported illnesses associated
with pesticide exposure to help inform future mitigation efforts.

DPR and County Agricultural Commissioners respond to pesticide incidents,
complaints, and questions. Various methods, including email and telephone, are
currently available to report pesticide incidents and concerns. DPR provides
statewide oversight of CAC local enforcement.


WILL THE NOTIFICATION SYSTEM BE AVAILABLE IN LANGUAGE(S) OTHER THAN ENGLISH?

The notification system will be available in Spanish and English at the time of
implementation and will continue to prioritize providing equal access to all DPR
programs and services to persons who are Limited English Proficient (LEP) in
accordance with the Dymally-Alatorre Bilingual Services Act (Gov. Code, § 7290
et seq.). The department is also exploring the feasibility of including other
languages.


WHAT FUNDING HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO IMPLEMENT THE STATEWIDE NOTIFICATION SYSTEM?

The 2021-2022 California state budget allocated an initial $10 million over four
years for the development of the statewide notification system. Long-term costs
will be evaluated as a part of the regulation development in consultation with
the California Department of Food and Agriculture’s Office of Pesticide
Consultation and Analysis.


HOW CAN THE PUBLIC LEARN ABOUT PAST PESTICIDE APPLICATIONS?

DPR provides a full report of agricultural pesticide use across the state. Under
the department’s Pesticide Use Reporting program, all agricultural pesticide use
must be reported monthly to County Agricultural Commissioners, who in turn,
report the data to DPR. Reports can be found at Pesticide Use Reporting (ca.gov)
on the DPR website.
