Who must issue a permit for the application of pesticides to water bodies?

  1. The EPA

  2. WSDA

  3. Department of Ecology

  4. FDA

The correct answer is: Department of Ecology

Department of Ecology must issue the permit for the application of pesticides to water bodies. This is because the Department of Ecology is responsible for protecting Washington's environment and they have regulations in place for pesticide use. The other options, such as the EPA and FDA, may have some involvement in regulating pesticide use, but the Department of Ecology specifically deals with water pollution and protecting aquatic life. The WSDA may be involved in regulating certain types of pesticides, but they do not issue permits for pesticide use in water bodies. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
