Tribal Pesticide Circuit Rider Programs Jayme Mestes, Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Willie Keenan, Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes Judy Bloom, U.S. EPA R8

Why circuit riders??

1. Funding Funding levels are stagnant Historically – funded only 5-6 tribal pesticide programs Resulted in limited FIFRA coverage on remaining reservations. DJ

2. Large Population & Land Area

Added Tool to Tool Box to expand coverage Individual Programs Direct Implementation Special Grants plus Circuit riders

Goals of the Circuit Rider Program: To protect human health and the environment from pesticide misuse To minimize pesticide exposure by reducing use when applicable To build tribal capacity by building circuit rider expertise which is shared with other tribes

R8 Learning From Others Look to Eric Gjevres, Coeur d'Alene pesticide circuit rider in R10 RCAC Native American Circuit Rider Program for drinking/waste water Rural Water Association – skill building with small systems

Which Tribes and Reservations? Conducted Needs Assessment * population # private applicators # commercial applicators # farms farm acreage production establishments *Not all factors applicable or readily available *Information provided to R8 tribes for comment *Information presented at ROC mtg And who had a pesticide program already
