7.X.
Request by Conservation Board to adopt a resolution and send a letter to the Governor in support of a bill granting more local control over pesticide use in local wetlands.
Whereas the Town of Bedford is committed to protecting natural resources and the environment; and Whereas the New York State Department of Environmental Protection only regulates wetlands 12.4 acres or larger and smaller wetlands are not regulated and would benefit from local oversight; and Whereas bill A5949/S5947 would allow municipalities to prohibit the use of pesticides in specific wetland areas by allowing targeted pesticide application when the DEC finds it essential for controlling invasive species, pests, noxious weeds, and for the protection of native plant species, allowing for management of invasive species while providing some protection for vulnerable ecosystems. Now therefore be it resolved that the Town Board of the Town of Bedford hereby urges Governor Hochul to sign Bill A5949/S5947 to allow municipalities to prohibit the use of pesticides in specific wetland areas.
