text: Unfortunately, this initiative has a loophole large enough to fly helicopters through.  Most sprays are not directly next to homes and therefore would be continued.  It is strange that this company and environmental groups refuse to suggest the aerial spraying should be stopped, period.  Asking the State to determine supposedly safe buffers is a poor substitute for prevention.   Aerial spraying is banned on federal forests and aerial sprays drift for miles.  Upcoming Weyerhauser spraying in the Coast Range near Lorane would probably not be stopped by this initiative.
