IV. PESTICIDES ( continued ) : Yes \To B11IPs <br /> Mixing and Loading Activities (continued) . <br /> 51 ) . Are mix/load stations located where runoff will not carry 0 C13a-b <br /> spilled chemicals into surface water bodies? <br /> 52 ) . Is there a system of portable mix/load stations or water only C 13b <br /> nurse tanks , and are they moved frequently? <br /> 53 ) . Is secondary containment provided to reduce contaminationJ C 13 a-b <br /> — <br /> due to small spills? <br /> 54 ) . Are jet-rinse nozzles or some other method used at your mix/load 0 ❑ C13 - 14 <br /> sites to insure that used pesticide containers are properly rinsed? <br /> 55 ) . Are triple rinsed containers punctured and stored properly 0 0 C14 <br /> (e . g . , in a covered, locked shed) prior to disposal or recycling? <br /> 56) . Are these containers then burned onsite in small batches (i . e . , less 0 ❑ C14 , 18 <br /> than 500 lbs . ) <br /> Integrated Pest Manageynent: <br /> 57) . Are a combination of control measures used targeting specific 0 0 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 0 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 0 0 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, 0 0 C 15 <br /> and the leaching and runoff potential of the pesticide to be applied <br /> considered when selecting a chemical for a specific pest? <br /> 6 <br />
