Working together to reduce pesticides in our water It s important we all do our part to prevent pesticides from getting into our waterways. The Clackamas River basin s fertile soils support a variety of robust harvests. The region s vibrant nurseries and Christmas tree farms bring joy to families nationwide. Gardeners boast blue-ribbon vegetables and harness our PNW rains to create lush, green lawns. Many growers use pesticides to produce these bounties. Herbicides combat weeds, insecticides repel bugs that harm crops, and fungicides keep plants from getting plants sick. Sometimes, these pesticides get out of the garden, however, and they can contaminate our waterways. Herbicides and insecticides in our streams kill the plants and insects that form the basis of our ecological food web. Pesticides bioaccumulate in fish that eat contaminated insects, threatening our endangered salmon species. ....
Register-Guard A report on pesticide levels in Oregon waterways shows detection of harmful chemicals monitored in Amazon Creek declined in frequency and concentration over two years. The Oregon’s Pesticide Stewardship Partnership 2017-19 biennium report showed improvement evidenced by lower concentrations and frequency of detection at 69% of the monitored locations in 10 waterways over the 2015-17 samplings. Frequency of detection and concentration in 14% of monitoring sites were largely unchanged, and about 17% of watersheds showed increases in those water quality measurements. Three Amazon Creek monitoring sites were shown to have improved and two sites showed no change, according to the report. The trends, especially related to concentration, are going in the right direction, said Department of Environmental Quality Agency Toxics Coordinator Kevin Masterson. ....
New state report finds lower pesticide levels, improved water quality SALEM, Ore. (KTVZ) A new interagency report shows a drop in pesticide levels in a majority of watersheds across Oregon, as monitored by a coalition of state agencies. The finding is contained in the 2017-19 Biennium Report, which looks at pesticide levels in selected streams in various parts of Oregon. The report is authored by an interagency water quality management team making up Oregon’s Pesticide Stewardship Partnership. The program has been working to reduce the levels of pesticides in watersheds through voluntary partnerships. Their report is based on more than 1,000 surface water samples collected and analyzed for 129 pesticide compounds, including 57 herbicides, 40 insecticides, 10 fungicides and 16 pesticide concentrations. ....
