Humphreys & Associates, L.C. to Learn About Your Rights The EPA told Beyond Pesticides advocacy group in 1997 that they were reevaluating wood preservatives, such as CCA by the end of 1998 but delayed any type of action until the end of 2001. Finally, on February 12, 2002, after years of pressure from various environmental groups, the EPA announced the voluntary plan to phase out CCA as of January 1, 2004. Beyond Pesticides and other environmental groups found the EPA’s actions insufficient and called for an across the board immediate ban of the known human carcinogen. The EPA’s announcement has been considered inadequate to protect public health, described as “weak, voluntary, and unenforceable”.
