DISCUSSION: The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) and the Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) entered into a Management Agency Agreement (MAA) on May 29, 1996 to ensure that pesticides registered in California are used in a manner that protects water quality and the beneficial uses of water while recognizing the need for pest control.
