IV. PESTICIDES ( continued ) : Yes No BMPs <br /> .'Mrixina and Loading Activities (continued) : <br /> 51 ) . Are mix/load stations located where runoff will not carry — = C13a - b <br /> spilled chemicals into surface water bodies ? <br /> 52 ) . Is there a system of portable mi.x/Ioad stations or water only Cl 3b <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 mi -x/load - C13 - 14 <br /> sites to insure that used pesticide containers are properly rinsed ? <br /> 77 <br /> 55) . Are triple rinsed containers punctured and stored properly — - 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 (Le . , less a C14 18 <br /> than 500 lbs . ) <br /> Intea rated Pest Management: <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 a 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, i 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 /> tD <br />
