IV. PESTICIDES ( continued ) : Yes ', o BMPs <br /> Aluutg and Loading .Activities (continued) : <br /> 51 ) . Are mix/load 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 - = C ] 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 -7 C13 - 14 <br /> sites to insure that used pesticide containers are properly rinsed ? <br /> 55) . Are triple rinsed containers punctured and stored properly 71 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 L _ C14 , 18 <br /> than 500 lbs . ) <br /> Integrated Pestltlanagement: <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, ❑ 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 /> 6 <br />
