Upcoming Environmental Modeling in Ground Water Public Meeting

June 8, 2017 In This Update: Upcoming Environmental Modeling in Ground Water Public Meeting On June 28, 2017, EPA will hold an Environmental Modeling Public Meeting. This meeting provides a public forum for pesticide registrants, other stakeholders and EPA to discuss current issues related to modeling pesticide fate, transport, and exposure for pesticide risk assessments in a regulatory context. Groundwater modeling is conducted as part of the pesticide registration and re-evaluation processes. This meeting will focus on: • evidence of subsurface (below 1 meter) biodegradation (or metabolism) in groundwater; • methods for measuring subsurface biodegradation; and • how to incorporate this information in EPA’s models. Requests to participate in the meeting must be received on or before June 21, 2017. Please contact Stephen Wente or Jessica Joyce to register for this meeting. More information can be found at www.regulations.gov in docket # EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0879-0116. Sign up for updates and abstract requests for future Environmental Modeling Public Meetings.
