Introduction and Overview
Welcome to the California Pesticide Information Portal project (CalPIP). CalPIP now allows you to query from more than one data source to find information on pesticide related issues. This site delivers user-friendly Internet access to the Department of Pesticide Regulation's (DPR) extensive pesticide use and label information (PUR Data Source), Ground Water Protection Area information (GWPA Data Source, and the recently added Pesticide Regulation's Endangered Species Custom Realtime Internet Bulletin Engine (PRESCRIBE Data Source). more...
Known Issues
2011 PUR data projected release date: June 2013 – In 2011, in an effort to more efficiently and accurately capture pesticide use data, a new computer-based reporting system, known as CalAgPermits, was created to streamline reporting procedures for pesticide users and upgrade data management capabilities of county departments of agriculture. As might be expected when transitioning to a new, complex data management system such as CalAgPermits, DPR staff and the software developers detected and had to resolve many performance anomalies. This delayed compilation of the 2011 pesticide use data and release of the associated data files and report. We project a release date of June 2013, for the 2011 PUR.
