Didn't write it that text and don't know about it, but this topic is notable enough for an article and I am pulling it out of prod. (See list of sources I have added) I noticed it on a list of over-templated articles.
Can we just delete the copy-vio text in question? I have downloaded the source document, but I don't think I even need it for AfD purposes. I like my sources better, although I may add something from it eventually. Elinruby (talk) 05:07, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Completely uncited of course. Left here as breadcrumbs to the details of the voluntary compliance agreement once you strip all the weasel out: in which the EPA recommended stricter air monitoring of potentially harmful gasses, a process to acquire information from registered pesticide companies about where pesticide concentration is the greatest, a process to determine monitoring efforts are effective against long-term pesticide exposure, use of films that act as a barrier towards methyl bromide, setting limits on methyl bromide levels per town, and organizing three events per year as a means of outreach with the Latino community.
