forests,
forest
nursery
and
seed
production
in
Utah
and
the
pests
involved.
They
should
possess
practical
knowledge
of
the
cyclic
occurrence
of
certain
pests
and
specific
population
dynamics
as
a
basis
for
programming
pesticide
applications.
Practical
knowledge
is
required
of
the
relative
Page

of
28
biotic
agents
and
their
vulnerability
to
the
pesticides
to
be
applied.

of
pesticide
use
may
be
difficult
to
assess
in
large
forest
stands
which
frequently
include
natural
aquatic
habitats
and
harbor
wildlife.
The
applicator
must
therefore
demonstrate,
by
examination
practical
knowledge
of
control
methods
which
will
minimize
the
possibility
of
secondary
problems
such
as
unintended
effects
on
wildlife.

Proper
use
of
specialized
equipment
must
be
demonstrated,
upon
request
or
by
examination
especially
as
it
may
relate
to
meteorological
and
adjacent
land
use.

phytotoxicity
due
to
a
variety
of
plant
material,
drift,
and
persistence
beyond
the
intended
period
of
pest
control.
Applicators
must
demonstrate
by
examination,

practical
knowledge
of
application
methods
which
will
minimize
or
prevent
hazards
to
humans,
non­
target
animals
and
the
environment.

4.
Seed
Treatment
Demonstrate
knowledge
of
seed
types
that
require
chemical

agents
which
influence
pesticide
binding
and
may
affect
germination.
They
must
demonstrate
by
examination
practical
knowledge
of
hazards
associated
with
handling,
sorting,
and
mixing,
and
misuse
of
treated
seeds
such
as
introduction
of
treated
seed
into
food
and
feed
channels,
and
proper
disposal
of
unused
treated
seeds.

5.
Aquatic
Pest
Control
Demonstrate
knowledge
of
the
secondary
effects

pesticides,
various
water
use
situations
and
the
potential
of
downstream
effects.

Further,
they
must
have

which
may
be
present
in
Page

MAINTENANCE
OF
UTAH
STATE
CERTIFICATION
PLAN
The
State
Certification
Plan
of
Pesticide
Applicators
will
be
maintained
through
a
continuing
educational
and
regulatory
program
conducted
cooperatively
by
the
Utah
Department
of
Agriculture
and
Food
and
the
Utah
State
University
Extension
Service.

The
Continuing
Education
Program
provided
by
the
UDAF
and
ES,
with
state­
wide
regulatory
activities
by
the
UDAF
will
satisfactorily
implement
the
SCP
and
assure
its
continued
maintenance.
The
objective
is
the
safe
and
effective
use
of
pesticides
protecting
human
health
and
the
environment
in
the
State
of
Utah.

Enforcement
aspects
of
the
certification
plan
will
be
performed
by
UDAF
personnel.

Regulatory
activities
will
be
generally
directed
by
the
Director
of
Plant
Industry
with
assistance
from
the
Pesticide
Program
Manager.
A
corps
of
qualified
personnel
will
be
responsible
for
fiscal
enforcement
activities
throughout
the
state.
Assigned
UDAF
personnel
will
work
closely
with
ES
personnel
in
the
training
and
certification
of
applicators
Page
28
of
28
within
their
assigned
district.
It
will
be
UDAF's
duty
to
verify
competency
and
provide
the
necessary
certification
documentation
for
each
applicator
in
the
area
under
his
jurisdiction,

as
well
as
for
each
dealer
who
dispenses
restricted­
use
pesticides.
They
will
be
responsible
for
monitoring
the
activities
of
pesticide
applicators
in
their
district
and
to
investigate
violations
of
pesticide
laws
at
the
local
level.
Established
UDAF
Policies
and
Procedures
will
be
followed
in
handling
violation
cases.
Assigned
personnel
will
also
periodically
examine
records
of
pesticide
usage
which
applicators
are
required
to
keep.
