Toxic Chemical Task Force
DATE: May 30, 1990
SUBJECT: Task Force Report and Recommendations
Over the course of the past year the Toxic Chemical Task Fe,rce has held a number of
meetings and public hearings, reviewed testimony and discussed scientific evidence.
Attached are our findings and recommendations. -
Briefly, these recommendations call for the City of St. Paul to take initiative in
developing a responsible policy for public, private and commercial users of pesticides
and fertilizers. They focus on usage practice strategies through public education and
regulation, including a section on alternative practices. Additionally, certain
recommendations call for the city to acquire more baseline data, enhanced data
collection methods as well as suggesting pilot projects to improve current knowiedae and
awareness.
The Task Force settled on a constructivist approach to its recommendations, generally
favoring those that could be immediately implemented. Also, where regulation is
involved we favored those which fell within the City's legislative prerogative. Thus the
Task Force favored public education as a major component and refrained from
suggesting banning specific chemicals. �
It is fair to say that the views of individual task force members regarding the effects
pesticides and fertilizers encompa.sses a wide spectrum of opini�ns. The above .
pragmatic approach, however, resulted in �unanimous or near unanimous approval for
most of the recommendations. It was found members could disagree on health and
environmental risks or potential risks and still find agreement on prudent measures to
minimize these.
The recommended Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy and definition (supplied
by the Bio-Integral Resource Center), together with the goal of overall pesticide
reduction provide keys to establishing a broad strategy and direction for the City's
public, commercial and private sectors. All other recommendations can be seen as
consistent with these.
On behalf of the Task Force I would like to thank you�for the opportunity assist in
developing city policy regarding the application of fertilizers and peSticides and we look
fonvard to working with you through the implementation phase.
