| Description |
The Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) Water Quality Program has completed the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (DSEIS) for Diquat Dibromide. Diquat dibromide (label name Reward®) is an aquatic-contact herbicide and algaecide. Ecology proposes to approve diquat as a tool available to control aquatic nuisance and noxious plants in the public waterbodies of Washington state. The DSEIS is meant to assess and summarize the potential harm that diquat may have on the environment and propose measures to mitigate the harm. The mitigation measures are being proposed for permit conditions in two general permits regulating herbicide use for controlling aquatic noxious and nuisance plants. The DSEIS is now ready for public comments. |
