Which codes can the CAC cite in enforcement actions as per the Cooperative Agreement with the US EPA?

The choice is correct because the Cooperative Agreement between the California Agricultural Commission (CAC) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) specifically allows the CAC to enforce state regulations related to agricultural practices, including the use of pesticides and other agricultural chemicals, under the provisions of the California Food and Agricultural Code (FAC). Divisions 6 and 7 of the FAC provide the necessary legal framework for enforcement actions concerning agricultural regulations, including pesticide use.

This relationship with the FAC is essential as it empowers the CAC to ensure compliance with both state and federal standards for environmental protection regarding agricultural practices. This also enables the CAC to take appropriate enforcement actions, such as fines or penalties, against violations affecting environmental health and safety within the agricultural sector.

The other choices do not pertain directly to the enforcement capabilities as outlined in the Cooperative Agreement. For instance, while the California Civil Code and the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) are important legal statutes, the specific enforcement mechanisms in partnership with the EPA are grounded in the provisions of the California Food and Agricultural Code.
