Groups sue U.S. EPA to enforce limits on 6 pesticides 
Dec. 2, 2010
A lawsuit filed in federal district court in Seattle Monday alleges the EPA has not taken action on measures that NOAA Fisheries Service called for in 2008 and 2009.
The service found six pesticides threaten the survival of several species of salmon and steelhead in the West. It called for protections such as no-spray buffer zones.
The pesticides include diazinon, malathion, chlorpyrifos, carbaryl, carbofuran and methomyl.
The EPA did not immediately return a call Monday seeking comment.
