Meta Identifier	DPR_pesticide
Type of Data	Pesticide use data
Originator	California Department of Pesticide Regulation
Description	The pesticide use data in KRIS database were extracted from the California Pesticide Use Reporting Database (California Department of Pesticide Regulation, 2002. It is a statewide database, but only data for the KRIS Klamath-Trinity Project Area is presented as charts in KRIS Version 3.0 and then only in the Lower Klamath and Trinity Basins because of lack of a budget for fuller exploration in other Klamath sub-basins. Pesticide applicators are required to submit data to county agricultural commissioners, who submit it the to Department of Pesticide Regulation. The dataset is compiled annually and CDs are released to the public each year (available on the DPR website for $10). KRIS staff used ArcView to link the data to a GIS layer of Public Lands Survey (PLS) sections, and calculated summaries using MS Access.

Purpose	To monitor pesticide use in the state of California
Data Quality Information	Dataset is massive and self-reported, so likely contains errors. Quality control software is applied to catch obvious outliers. If errors are found after release, corrections are issued via the DPR website.
Use Constraints	Location reliability is broad and variable (see supplemental information). Different pesticides have different toxicities. Residential (and most industrial) pesticide use is not included in database.
Supplemental Information	Location is reported the resolution of County and PLS sections. For areas with sections, that is a one square mile resolution. For areas without sections (areas with land titles originating from historical land grants), county is the only location information available from DPR. Some county agricultural commissioners have more precise location information (which could link the DPR database using the SITE_LOC_ID in the raw DPR database). A GIS shapefile (pesticides_dpr_2001.shp) with summary Data are contained in KRIS ArcView map project and in the KRIS Map Viewer.
