'''''Angelita C. et al. v. California Department of Pesticide Regulation''''' a complaint filed in June 1999 with the United States Federal Environmental Protection Agency's [[Office for Civil Rights]] (OCR) on behalf of children attending schools near where [[Bromomethane|methyl bromide]] pesticide was used, said that the [[California Department of Pesticide Regulation]] (CDPR) had discriminated against Latino children by renewing the registration for methyl bromide in January 1999 without considering the potential health effects of this pesticide on these children at schools in a 1.5-mile radius of the application sites. <ref name=":1" />
== Background ==
===Geographical===
[[Strawberry cultivation in California|Strawberry cultivation]] is an important agricultural industry in [[Central California]]. [[Ventura County, California|Ventura County]] and especially [[Oxnard, California|Oxnard]], [[Monterey County, California|Monterey County]] and particularly [[Salinas, California| Salinas]], and southern [[Santa Cruz County, California|Santa Cruz County]] near [[Watsonville, California|Watsonville]] all grow strawberries harvested by undocumented indigenous Mexican nationals, mostly from [[Oaxaca]],{{sfn|Bacon|2015]p= }} in back-breaking and toxic conditions. Oxnard alone produces 630 million tons of strawberries a year, and Ventura County's sales of strawberries brought in $628 million in 2014.{{sfn|Thompson|2016}}
===Legal===
Title VI of the [[Civil Rights Act of 1964]] and its implementing regulations prohibit recipients of federal financial assistance from discriminating based on race, color, or national origin. Title VI prohibits both intentional discrimination and discriminatory effects from neutral policies.{{sfn|Rensink|2022|p=235}} The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for the oversight and the investigation of complaints related to Title VI discrimination and its regulations as outlined in 40 C.F.R. Part 7.<ref name=":2" /> The complaint was named "Angelita C." after the mother of a student at Ohlone Elementary School in Watsonville, surrounded by strawberry fields.{{sfn|Rensink|2022|p=235}}
===Environmental===
The [[Montreal Protocol]] is an international environmental agreement first signed in 1987.

== Complaint ==
Filed by the Center for Race, Poverty & the Environment,{{sfn|Rensink|2022|p=232}} the California Rural Legal Assistance, Inc.,{{sfn|Rensink|2022|p=232}} California Rural Legal Assistance Foundation, and the Farmworker Justice Fund, Inc. on behalf of Latino parents and children at six California schools.<ref name=":1">United States, Congress, Office of Civil Rights, and Luke W Cole. ''COMPLAINT UNDER TITLE VI OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964, 42 U.S.C. §2000d AND 40 C.F.R. Part 7'', Center on Race, Poverty, and Development, 1999, pp. 1–42,</ref> complaint 16R-99-R9 targeted the California Department of Pesticides Regulation (CDPR) for renewing of the registration of [[Bromomethane|methyl bromide]] (MeBr). The complainants alleged discrimination against Latino school children due to the disproportionate percentage of Hispanic children in schools near the fields where MeBr was applied and the health impacts on them of this pesticide.
Research by the complainants found that all schools near the vicinity of the release of methyl bromide had a non-white majority. Barton{{what|not previously mentioned}} and Ohlone Elementary School had a more than 95% ethnic student population.<ref name=":1" /> Complainants also said that 35,000 pounds of methyl bromide is released annually{{bsn}} <ref name=":1" /> However, the main premise of the complaint was based on Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin under any program or activity of a recipient of federal financial assistance. To argue for a Title VI accusation, the complainants declared that there was a positive correlation between methyl bromide concentration and the probability that schools in the proximity of its release have a majority non-white student population. For example, in 1995 complainants calculated a total of 75,000 pounds of methyl bromide was released within a 1.5 mile radius of 476 students. <ref name=":1" /> Notably, the spraying occurred from mid-August through late May while school was in session. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Civil Rights (OCR) was in charge of evaluating these claims.
== Investigation ==
To calculate whether or not spraying methyl bromide had an adverse effect on children in the vicinity, the OCR used data from 1995-2001 in the CDPR’s previously-developed model.<ref name=":2">United States, Congress, Office of Civil Rights, and Christopher Reardon. ''Angelita C, 42211, Preliminary Finding, OCR, Title Complaint VI 16R-99-R9'', California Department of Pesticide Regulation, 2011.</ref> and found that both short-term and long-term exposure levels exceeded the EPA's threshold of concern{{sfn|Rensink|2022|p=235}} (35 ppb and 1.3 ppb, respectively).<ref name=":2" /> It also found merit to the claim of a disproportionate adverse effect on Latino schoolchildren between 1995 and 2001.{{sfn|Rensink|2022|p=235}} This was, it said, enough evidence of a ''prima facie'' violation of Title VI.{{sfn|Rensink|2022|p=235}} This was the EPA's first finding ever of a ''prima facie'' violation.
Many limitations to the EPA investigation impaired its outcome. The EPA excluded some complainants from the investigation of their own complaint,{{sfn|Rensink|2022|p=235}} then agreed to settle it without giving any relief to Latino schoolchildren from pesticide exposure during mandatory school attendance.{{sfn|Rensink|2022|p=235}} Despite changes in agricultural practice due to regulatory changes during the ten-year investigation, the agency never updated its data set. The agency knew that other [[fumigation|fumigants]] had replaced methyl bromide, and had itself approved [[methyl iodide]], yet kept the investigation focused on a chemical it had almost completely phased out.<ref name=":3">{{Cite journal |last=Rafiei Asl |first=Javad |title=A Semantic, Syntactic, And Context-Aware Natural Language Adversarial Example Generator_supp1-3359817.pdf |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/tdsc.2024.3359817/mm1 |access-date=2024-04-25 |website=dx.doi.org|doi=10.1109/tdsc.2024.3359817/mm1 }}</ref>
== Aftermath ==
After the EPA issued a preliminary finding against the CDPR on April 22, 2011, it began private settlement discussions with the defendant, to which the complainants were not invited. On August 24, 2011, the EPA and CDPR reached an informal compliance agreement. An appeal of this administrative decision was denied.{{sfn|Rensink|2022|p=235}} In 2014 the strawberry growers of California accounted for roughly 90% of the methyl bromide use in the developed world.{{sfn|Yeung|Taggart|Donohue|2014|p= }}
== Garcia v. McCarthy (2012) ==
In Garcia v. McCarthy the plaintiff argued that the settlement did not provide those who were exposed to pesticides with any recourse, based on the CDPR not indicating any changes being made to their registration in 2013 after having re-registered and lawfully certified as of January 26, 2012. <ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Section 7.115 - Postaward compliance, 40 C.F.R. § 7.115 {{!}} Casetext Search + Citator |url=https://casetext.com/regulation/code-of-federal-regulations/title-40-protection-of-environment/chapter-i-environmental-protection-agency/subchapter-a-general/part-7-nondiscrimination-in-programs-or-activities-receiving-federal-assistance-from-the-environmental-protection-agency/subpart-e-agency-compliance-procedures/section-7115-postaward-compliance |access-date=2024-04-18 |website=casetext.com}}</ref> The plaintiffs said that the EPA failed to accurately investigate potential adverse health effects and accused the EPA of “arbitrarily and capriciously” executing a voluntary compliance agreement that did not provide adequate protection.

McCarthy the plaintiff argued that the settlement did not provide those who were exposed to pesticides with any recourse, based on the CDPR not indicating any changes being made to their registration in 2013 after having re-registered and lawfully certified as of January 26, 2012. <ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Section 7.115 - Postaward compliance, 40 C.F.R. § 7.115 {{!}} Casetext Search + Citator |url=https://casetext.com/regulation/code-of-federal-regulations/title-40-protection-of-environment/chapter-i-environmental-protection-agency/subchapter-a-general/part-7-nondiscrimination-in-programs-or-activities-receiving-federal-assistance-from-the-environmental-protection-agency/subpart-e-agency-compliance-procedures/section-7115-postaward-compliance |access-date=2024-04-18 |website=casetext.com}}</ref> The plaintiffs said that the EPA failed to accurately investigate potential adverse health effects and accused the EPA of “arbitrarily and capriciously” executing a voluntary compliance agreement that did not provide adequate protection. The plaintiffs were excluded from the investigation and settlement negotiations.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" />

To argue for a Title VI accusation, the complainants declared that there was a positive correlation between methyl bromide concentration and the probability that schools in the proximity of its release have a majority non-white student population. For example, in 1995 complainants calculated a total of 75,000 pounds of methyl bromide was released within a 1.5 mile radius of 476 students. <sup id="cite_ref-:1_1-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-1">[1]</a></sup> Notably, the spraying occurred from mid-August through late May while school was in session.
