Pesticides and the Endangered Species Protection Program
Published 2026
This NebGuide discusses the Endangered Species Protection Program and its role in the use of pesticides. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Endangered Species Protection Program ensures pesticide registrations comply with the Endangered Species Act while avoiding unnecessary use restrictions. Legally enforceable pesticide product labeling is the main risk-management tool used for endangered species protection. In addition, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permitting may be required for certain pesticide applications to, over, or near waters of the state.
