PURS not available
Due to state budget constraints, PURS is not available until January 2013. Pesticide users cannot file reports of pesticide use into PURS. Reports previously filed into PURS are not available to the pesticide users who filed those reports.
The 2009 Oregon Legislature amended the PURS statutes. Among those amendments was that no pesticide user is required to report pesticide use information into PURS from July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2011. In addition, Oregon Administration Rules (OAR) states that no enforcement action shall be taken for failure to report pesticide use “... for any calendar year in which the Department does not provide a fully effective means for pesticide users to report pesticide use." Other amendments to the PURS statutes will result in changes to PURS, which are not expected to be in place until January 2013.
Requirements under federal and Oregon laws to keep records of pesticide use are independent of PURS. Those record keeping requirements exist even while PURS is not available. For additional regulatory information concerning PURS and record keeping, please see the section below entitled Regulatory information.
