Aerial Pesticide Spraying
By Mark Schindler

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.
