Pesticide Permit Application - Kluckwan Aerial Spraying +

While this food damaging endeavor is referring to the western US, aerial spraying could happen nearly everywhere. Such spraying is one reason why many of our traditional wild herbs and food stuffs are no longer as potent as they were in the past and in some instance may not even work and may even become toxic. We all need to be mindful of these shenanigans which are mostly promoted by the chemical companies.

This information needs to be forwarded far and wide to increase awareness, so that more accountability from those allowing or making these decisions should be demanded.

Granting the Permit will give consumers two choices. wild salmon with pesticides or farmed salmon. The wild salmon are no longer organic. The EPA has a 600 foot mandatory buffer zone in CA, OR, and WA for aerial pesticide spraying. Alaska has 35 feet.

I now prefer Alaskan salmon for eating. If spraying is not adequately limited I will look elsewhere.

The web site for the permit appears below and adds 50 feet of buffer to the basic Alaska requirement of 35 feet in most cases. Below are other sites with the requirements for other states and the legal reaction.

Summary of Project

The Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) received a permit application from Long Island Trust to aerially spray pesticides on 1,950 acres of its Long Island (map in Appendix A) property for forestry vegetation management purposes. Specifically, Long Island Trust proposes to apply the pesticides Accord® and Arsenal®, the surfactant Competitor®, and the drift inhibitor In-Place® by helicopter, to red alder sites on approximately 1,950 acres on Long Island, property privately owned by Klukwan Inc./Long Island Trust. The project is intended to allow an increase in conifer second growth by reducing salmonberry and red alder competition for water, nutrients, and sunlight in the treated areas. The pesticide Accord®, EPA Registration Number 524-326, active ingredient glyphosate, is registered for forestry conifer and hardwood release. The label contains directions for aerial treatment, including mixing instructions if used with the herbicide, Arsenal®. Arsenal®, EPA Registration Number 241-299, active ingredient imazapyr, also has label directions for conifer release treatment. A surfactant adjuvant is recommended on the Accord® label to enhance its effect and reduce the amount of product needed.

Complete application is here.
