1• <br />IV. PESTICIDES (continued <br />Application Methods: <br />35). Are appropriate measures taken to reduce spray drift using: <br />• nozzle selection <br />• spray pressure <br />• drift reducing adjuvants <br />• windbreaks <br />• and/or other drift control materials? <br />36). Are pesticides applied only when wind speeds are less than 10 mph° <br />37). Is the efficiency of pesticides maximized by timing applications <br />based on anticipated weather conditions and irrigation events? <br />38). Are sprayer nozzles turned off at the trunk of the last tree within <br />rows with end trees being sprayed by making a last pass around the <br />outside perimeter of the block with only the inside nozzles turned on <br />(wrapping)? <br />39). Are the last three rows of trees sprayed windward of waterways <br />using nozzles on one side only, with spray directed away from <br />aquatic areas? <br />40). Are all of the required records for pesticide applications, <br />including date, time, location of treatment, target site, crop, <br />total area, brand name, EPA Registration number total amount, and <br />method of application recorded by a certified applicator? <br />41) Are records and copies of current pesticide labels filed conveniently <br />where they can be easily retrieved, or are they posted at a central <br />location or on a permanent internet web site? <br />42). Are all agrichemicals stored in a locked facility? <br />43). Does this facility have a concrete floor with a 4" lip? <br />44). Are the materials segregated by type (herbicides, fungicides, <br />and insecticides)? <br />45). Are all stored pesticide materials properly labeled? <br />46). Is an accurate inventory kept of all crop protection products? <br />Mixing and Loading Activities: <br />47). Is application equipment washed on a concrete pad with a sump, <br />and is the wash -water collected and reused in other applications? <br />48). Are anti -siphoning devices, artesian pressure, or other measures <br />utilized to prevent back siphoning of pesticides into ditches, canals, <br />or wells? <br />49). If pesticides are mixed at or near the same site year after year, is <br />there a concrete pad with a sump to minimize contamination from <br />small spills and leaks? <br />50). Are wellheads properly elevated or _grouted <br />to prevent contamination of wells during pesticide <br />mixing/loading operations? <br />5 <br />Yes <br />7-1 <br />7-1 <br />BMPs <br />C1 <br />C1 <br />C1 <br />Cl <br />C1 <br />C2 <br />Cf' <br />C3.a-d <br />C -3e <br />06 <br />06 <br />C17 <br />C17 <br />C17 <br />C17 <br />C5, 16-17 <br />C11 <br />C12 <br />C13a <br />C13a-b <br />
