Case summary
On May 9, 2014, Region 10 settled with Primeland Cooperatives for violations of FIFRA.

The drift incident occured in Nezperce, Idaho, which is located within the boundaries of the Nez Perce Reservation. The Circuit Rider referred the inspection report to EPA for review and follow-up. The pesticide application was used in a manner inconsistent with its labeling by allowing the product to drift from its target site. The company agreed to pay a penalty of $640.
