Amy and Michelle, I am the Director of Congressional & Federal Affairs for the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA).
The GCSAA is coming to DC as part of our meetings with Congress and the Executive Branch on "National Golf Day", during the last week of April. We were hoping to bring members of our team to meet with the Administrator on Monday, April 24th at some point between 9:30-3:00.
GCSAA is monitoring a number of issues involving the EPA, including the repeal and replacement of the Clean Water Rule. We fully support efforts to repeal the rule and replace it with one that protects water quality while providing clarity and certainty for golf course management. Additionally, we support efforts to ensure effective pesticide regulation under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Our CEO, Rhett Evans, and our superintendents would appreciate the chance to discuss these matters as well as how golf course superintendents protect the environment by applying physical, agronomic and environmental Best Management Practices (BMPs).
More information about our organization can be found at www.gcsaa.org.
Would there be a chance to meet on the 24th with Administrator Pruitt, Ryan Jackson, and other staffers involved in these matters? We'd be happy to host you at the Hyatt Regency in Crystal City, where our delegation is meeting. Alternatively, we would also be happy to come to the EPA's offices.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Robert Heiland | Director, Congressional and Federal Affairs
