Pesticides are commonly used in schools, parks, yards, gardens, farms, and along roads to kill unwanted pests. Often after heavy rains, stormwater runoff becomes a highway for the transport of pesticides, allowing them to enter our waterways. A multi-year study recently released by the US Geological Survey detected the presence of numerous pesticides within the Clackamas River basin. Even though pesticides are far below human health benchmarks, their presence is a warning sign. The time is now to act before it develops into a BIG problem. For more information about how you can reduce your pesticide use please click here.

Please include your feedback on our Pesticide and Herbicide Use survey.
