PRESCRIBE Online Database Application
Back to Endangered Species Project
Welcome to Pesticide Regulation's Endangered Species Custom Realtime Internet Bulletin Engine (PRESCRIBE). The PRESCRIBE online database application was developed to help pesticide applicators find out if they have any endangered species in the vicinity of their application site, and the use limitations applicable to the pesticide product(s) they intend to use.
This site provides information consistent with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA)'s Interim Measures Bulletins for Protection of Endangered Species for user-selected sites and pesticides. Habitat data is from the Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) Natural Diversity Database, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service. Pesticide toxicology follows U.S. EPA standards and advice of DFW Pesticide Investigations Unit. Habitat protection measures are from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biological opinions and local plans developed through the cooperation of the County Agricultural Commissioners and Sealers Association, the Department of Fish and Wildlife and the California Department of Food and Agriculture. This program is implemented by the Department of Pesticide Regulation on behalf of U.S. EPA under Section 7(a)(1) of the Endangered Species Act.
