EPA denies bid to ban lead in hunting ammunition
By FREDERIC J. FROMMER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Environmental Protection Agency has denied a petition by five environmental groups to ban lead in hunting ammunition.
The agency said Friday that it did not have the authority to enact the ban under the Toxic Substances Control Act, as the groups had requested.
But the EPA says it's still reviewing another part of the petition, to ban lead fishing sinkers.
