An Interview with Tom Steeger Senior Science Advisor, EPA
2024
Overview
While completing graduate work at Auburn, I also served as the vice president of a small consulting firm (Fishery Information Management System) in the Southeast which provided training and sampling services for state and federal fishery management agencies and hydroelectric facilities subject to Federal Energy Regulatory Commission regulations. Or did you start in another EPA industry direction and move to agriculture? A. My \"connection to value\" at EPA is the agency's strong focus on the science; many of the studies which 1 conducted while at SRI International adhered to Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) standards for the Food and Drug Administration and the EPA. While on a site visit in 2003 to the EPA Office of Research and Development lab in Duluth, Minn., to observe studies examining the effects of the herbicide atrazine on amphibian development, I met with that commercial beekeeper whose colonies had been affected. Because of the uncertainties associated with the potential effects of carbaryl on bee colonies, EPA required additional colony-level studies. Because of the relationship established in 2003, when EPA started to learn of large-scale losses of bee colonies in 2007, other commercial beekeepers started to provide information to EPA regarding losses. Since pesticides were identified as one of the factors associated with adverse effects on bees, EPA as well as other regulatory authorities globally committed resources to expanding the suite of tools used to assess the acute and chronic effects on pesticides on individual adult and larval bees and higher-tier studies examining colony-level effects. [...]the public needs to recognize that the beekeeping industry is struggling; beekeeping businesses which have been in families for generations have either been lost outright or continue to flounder.
