ELR Citation: ELR 20063
No(s). 76-3760 (9th Cir. Nov 21, 1977)

Upon direct review, the Ninth Circuit upholds a finding by the Environmental Protection Agency Regional Administrator that defendant had applied a pesticide in a manner inconsistent with the label instructions in violation of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act. The record contained substantial evidence supporting that finding and the assessment of a civil penalty of $1,000 is therefore affirmed.
