What was lobbied
2 issue areas, each in the filer's own words, with who lobbied on it and where.
Environment/Superfund ENV
1. H.R. 890, the "Reducing EPA Duplication to Advance Pesticide Enforcement Act" This legislation would eliminate the Clean Water Act's NPDES pesticide general permit for aquatic pesticide applications in, over, or near "Waters of the United States". Such applications are already regulated under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act. 2. Administrative efforts to replace the "Clean Water Rule", as known as the "Waters of the U.S. Rule". This rule would expand the scope of the Clean Water Act's jurisdiction. 3. Turfgrass research funding in the FY 20 Agriculture Appropriations bill. This initiative would fund turfgrass research projects across the country and supplement best management practices by the golf industry.
