PANEL ORDERS THAT THIS MATTER BE SENT BACK TO THE DEPUTY ADMINISTRATOR WITH AMENDMENTS AND ORDERED TO ATTEND THE DETERMINATION OF BUFFER ZONE SIZES AND FURTHER LICENCE AMENDMENTS
One of the issues in the appeal was the attachment of a restriction to the Pest Control Service Licence precluding aerial application of agricultural pesticides in Surrey and Langley. The Board found the Deputy Administrator erred in addressing the spray restriction by way of the boundaries of two municipalities and ordered that buffer zone widths appropriate to protect residential and environmentally sensitive areas throughout the Lower Mainland Region from drift be determined and applied.
