Are mix/load stations located where runoff will not carry _ C13a -b <br /> spilled chemicals into surface water bodies ? <br /> 5 .2 ) . Is there a system of portable mix/load stations or water only C1 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 mix/load 17 C13 - 14 <br /> sites to insure that used pesticide containers are properly rinsed ? <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 ( i . e . , less ❑ C14 , 18 <br /> than 500 lbs . ) <br /> Integrated PestAfanagernent: <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 ❑ 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, 17C 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 /> e <br />
