• sce brea environmental

by Twilight Greenaway.

It’s been a little over a year since methyl iodide — a known
carcinogen that’s been made to work as a fumigant on industrial-scale
conventional farms, and is especially likely to be used on strawberry farms –
was approved for use in California.  

Methyl iodide is being seen as a replacement for the ozone-depleting methyl
bromide, which will be phased out of use in the state by 2015. And while farmers
appear to be holding off on using this highly toxic chemical (only a handful of
applications have been recorded in the state so far), that fact hasn’t stopped
anti-pesticide advocates from pushing the state’s Department of Pesticide
Regulation (DPR) to reconsider the decision.

Thursday’s hearing, in response to a suit filed by California Rural Legal Assistance and
Earthjustice against the state Attorney General’s Office and Arysta LifeScience
Corp, the makers of the fumigant, offers a glimmer of hope. [Note: Read tweets about the hearing on the KQED website.]

A group of advocates and lawyers held a
press
conference in Salinas on Wednesday to bring attention
to the issue in advance of the hearing. There, a farmworker
named Maria Vargas, from a group called Líderes Campesinas, spoke through
a translator. She told The Californian: “We know that methyl iodide will
principally affect women, children, and farmworkers, and, because we are in the
fields, we will be most affected.”

It’s hard to say just how likely it is
that today’s hearing will influence Gov. Jerry Brown or the DPR on the issue. But what’s really interesting to me — and
it’s getting much less news coverage — is the simultaneous work being done by anti-pesticide
advocates in Monterey County, the part of the state most likely to be impacted by the
use of the fumigant.

Just last month, the Monterey County Board of Education passed
a resolution opposing methyl iodide. A story in the local Monterey Herald (by Sara Rubin, a reporter who’s been following this issue closely)
read:

Citing possible
health risks for children attending Monterey County schools, six of the seven
trustees Wednesday supported a resolution urging California lawmakers to repeal
approval of methyl iodide, a pesticide the Environmental Protection Agency says
could cause pulmonary edema, harm to the central nervous system and other
effects.

This is a big deal in an agricultural county (and you can be sure not
everyone is happy about it).

Now the same group of activists — a combination of teachers, farmworker advocates,
the area’s League of Women Voters, and even some representatives from Planned
Parenthood, who are making
a connection between the fumigant and birth defects, as well as an array of
other reproductive health issues — are asking the Monterey County Board of
Supervisors to pass
a similar resolution.

After
an initial
request in November (and the
passage of a similar resolution in neighboring Santa Cruz County) the Board
of Supervisors have agreed to a stakeholder meeting that will take place
Friday, a day after the state-level hearing.

Monterey
County is an important agricultural county — especially when it comes to strawberries; the crop is worth nearly $1 billion, and the strawberries grown there end up in grocery stores all over the nation. (California grows 86 percent of the fresh and frozen strawberries sold in the U.S., and nearly half of those are grown in the Salinas/Watsonville region.) It’s also where a large portion of methyl iodide
would ultimately get used.

Dana
Perls, an organizer with Pesticide Watch who
has been working tirelessly to support these Central Coast communities, believes
it would be “hugely symbolic” if Monterey County stands up and asks that last year’s decision be
reconsidered.

“Monterey County has not always been the most liberal county,” she adds.
“It has traditionally been a county that answers to the [conventional] ag
community because it is so essential for the local economy. So it would be a
pretty powerful statement for an agricultural county to side with public
health.”
