IV . PESTICIDES ( continued ) : Yes \ o BMPs <br /> .'Mixing and Loading Actiivities (continued) : <br /> 51 ) . Are mi%Aoad stations located where runoff will not carry _ - C 13a - b <br /> spilled chemicals into surface water bodies ? <br /> 52 ) . Is there a system of portable mix/load stations or water only - _ C13b <br /> nurse tanks, and are they moved frequently ? <br /> 53 ) . Is secondary containment provided to reduce contamination C13a - b <br /> due to small spills ? <br /> 54 ) . Are jet - rinse nozzles or some other method used at your mix/load =i C13 - 14 <br /> sites to insure that used pesticide containers are properly rinsed ? <br /> 55 ) . Are triple rinsed containers punctured and stored properly 17 C14 <br /> (e . or . , in a covered, locked shed ) prior to disposal or recycling ? <br /> 56 ) . Are these containers then burned onsite in small batches ( i . e . , less 1:1C14 18 <br /> than 500 lbs . ) <br /> Lztegrated Pest Afanagement: <br /> 57 ) . Are a combination of control measures used targeting specific C6 <br /> pests and diseases , including mechanical, cultural , biological, <br /> and chemical systems (i . e . Integrated Pest Management) ? <br /> 58 ) . Are precision application techniques, such as Global ! C8 <br /> Positioning Systems, infrared imaging, or other advanced <br /> sensing devices used when applying crop protection products ? <br /> 59 ) . Is soil pH maintained at a level that reduces the solubility of free J C9 <br /> copper ions (which otherwise may be transported off- site) , <br /> where this pH level will not hinder optimum crop production? <br /> 60 ) . Are specific factors of both the target area, such as the soil type, J C15 <br /> and the leaching and runoff potential of the pesticide to be applied <br /> considered when selecting a chemical for a specific pest ? <br />
