Thanks.

I'm working on a story about pesticide regulation in California and I was hoping you could tell me-- Is the California EPA the only state EPA with enough autonomy to ban a pesticide from being used in the state on its own (without the Federal EPA)? Do other state EPAs have similar authority? If so, which ones? If there is a difference in states' authority to ban pesticides, why? Where does the California EPA's autonomy concerning pesticide regulation come from? (ie is there a specific law to point to?) My deadline is this afternoon so any information that you can provide would be very helpful. Thank you, Alyssa Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tier 13 ED 002061 00026767-00001
