Some advocates felt the work plan left a lot to be desired. Kyla Bennett, who directs science policy for the group Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, said she appreciated EPA’s honesty around not having the resources to meet its demands in a reasonable time frame. But she pointed to a number of concerns, namely the work plan’s emphasis on pesticide users.
“This document is unduly concerned with flexibility for pesticide users, without giving any consideration to people adversely affected by pesticides,” Bennett said.
