Section 3-Procedures for Minimizing Pesticide Discharge
Section 3.1.a-Spill prevention
* Care is taken during the mixing of pesticides to insure that they are mixed according
to label specifications,and to prevent spills. Pesticides are never mixed near streams
or any other water source to prevent contamination incase of an accident or spill.
Section 3.1.b-Pesticide Application Equipment
# Spray Equipment is calibrated and maintained in accordance with manufacturers
specifications and pesticide label recommendations.
# All spray equipment is calibrated and patterned by University of Georgia annually,
and checked periodically.
* Auto Cal is used and linked to CPS to ensure proper calibration at varying application
speeds.
* Spray nozzles are matched to equipment and correct sizes are used according to
label directions.
# All hoses,pumps,meters,etc.are checked daily on trucks for leaks and correct
calibration.
Section 3.1.c-Pest Surveillance
Non-crop vegetation will be identified by district foresters during on-site
inspections.
Other Procedures for Minimizing Pesticide Discharge
* District foresters will prescribe lowest effective pesticide rates
* District foresters will specify buffers to protect sensitive features. Suggested
minimum buffers will be shown on stand maps and in GIS shapefile.
* Applicator Responsibilities
* Present a current state Pesticide Applicator License.
* Use state-of-the-are GPS Navigation system and GIS shapefile to help locate
treatment area boundariesand sensitive features.
* Perform a pre-spray reconnaissance flight to verify that all sensitive areas are
properly delineated on the stand map and in GIS shapefile. Discrepancies will be
discussed with the district forester.
* Apply pesticides in a manner which complies with product labeling.
* Follow state Forestry regulations for water quality.
* Monitor wind speed and weather conditions to avoid off-site movement of

* District Foresters will observe pesticide applications for 20%of"nomal priority"
stands to ensure compliance with the contract and Forestry BMPs.
