Background

In November 2020 EPA released its draft biological evaluations for atrazine, propazine and simazine for public review and comment. Biological evaluations are the beginning of EPA’s Endangered Species Act consultation review process where the agency determines whether a pesticide may affect one or more individuals of a listed species and their designated critical habitats.
