In Section 2.2.2 of the Final EA, the BLM acknowledges that Zonastat-H is a pesticide, but not a restricted-use pesticide, meaning it can only be used by certified applicators for purposes identified on the label. Go to page 26 in the pdf.
Controlling wild horse populations that pose safety hazards to motorists and/or interfere with animal agriculture is not an approved use.
Application of the product in those circumstances is unlawful.
Regarding GonaCon Equine, the agency cites the 2013 and 2015 registrations, while ignoring the 2017 update.
GonaCon-Equine is approved for use by authorized federal, state, tribal, public and
private personnel, for application to wild and feral equids in the United States (EPA 2013, 2015).
The 2017 amendment dropped the RUP designation and extended the interval between primer and booster to 90 days, which the BLM routinely ignores.
The Reveille HMA is a recent example.
When will law enforcement hold the bureaucrats and nonprofits to account?
