Fire Retardant
May 16, 2011 The U.S. Forest Service has released a plan for using retardant in battling wildfires that limits its use in areas occupied by threatened or endangered plants, fish and animals.
The 370-page draft environmental impact statement released Friday follows a ruling last year by U.S. District Judge Donald W. Molloy in Missoula, Mont., ordering the forest service to take a tougher look at the possibility that routinely dropping toxic fire retardant on wildfires from airplanes kills endangered fish and plants.
