Agricultural chemicals include ferilizers and pesticides (e.g., herbicides. <br /> insecticides.fumigates.fungicides). These chemicals are vital to today's agrcuiture. but improper use <br /> can result in toxic effects on the user. on others nearby. and on the environment, Groundwa-.e- <br /> contamination from ferti!Izers and pesticides s of great concern. For example. the pesticide DBPC <br /> %dibromochlorop.opare).which has been discovered in wells in San Joaquir Coun-y and other parts of J WW <br /> the state.has caused wells to be shut down.' <br /> Both state and local agencies are mav�;ng effor's to prevent contamination of ground and Surface <br /> ,water. The California Deoarmer:t of -Food and Agriculture CDr=A; has established the Pei c ce <br /> Regulatory Program. whose goal is m keep pesticide residues out of drinking'Water supplies. At the <br /> local level. the Counlr Agrlculturai Commiss:one s Office enforces pesticide regulations that prove <br /> protection for oeople.animals,and the environment` <br /> Natural Gas and Petroleum Many miles ofloioei,nes crass-Cross the County.

If burning, natura! gas burns vertically, while petroleum products spread and fo': <br /> along the ground and are more likely to spread to nearby property. <br /> Public Hea t^arc <br /> July 19�2 i!' <br />
