Who Must Apply Any person who is the owner of any crop or land, or the owner's representative, may apply for a permit for application of pesticides or fertilizers by a certified aircraft applicator. A review of the chemicals proposed to be applied is done separately and prior to permit issuance. No permits will be issued for the use of broad spectrum pesticides on non-agricultural sites. If the project has the potential to impact any endangered or threatened species, or species of special concern, or their essential habitats, the application will require additional review by the Natural Diversity Data Base Staff. There are specific requirements in the regulations for notification of the application of pesticides.
All permits expire at the end of the calendar year in which they are granted.
