Red Deer area resident Greg Lovell has been ordered to pay a $7,000 fine for spraying pesticide without the proper license three times and for providing false documents to an Alberta Environment investigator.
On July 1, 2003, Lovell sprayed
2,4-D on a leased property without a renewed pesticide applicator’s licence. A neighbour complained to Alberta Environment about damaged maple trees and the department later investigated, it said in a News release
news.
Lovell provided a false record suggesting his customer had been responsible for the application, but later admitted he lied. He was also working without insurance or a valid pesticide applicator’s license, said the release.
