					 interval.
(c) When there is no
					 foliage on the plant that has been treated by a pesticide and any crop or weed
					 cover in the treated area is not over 4 inches in height, the restricted entry
					 interval shall be reduced by 50 percent, but in no case to less than the
					 restricted entry interval specified on the pesticide product
					 labeling.
(d) A restricted entry
					 interval may be shortened to not less than the restricted entry interval
					 specified on the pesticide product labeling upon verification by the county
					 agricultural commissioner that one of the following has occurred:
(1) two inches of rainfall within any
					 seven-day period following the pesticide application;
(2) the equivalent of two inches of rainfall
					 has been applied evenly above all plants by sprinkler irrigation equipment
					 within any seven-day period following the pesticide application;
(3) for tree crops, at least 50 gallons of
					 water has been applied at one time under pressure and evenly distributed to

(2) Applications in an entirely enclosed
					 space unless access is controlled in a manner that assures no employee (other
					 than the handlers making the application) will enter, work in, remain in, or
					 pass through the enclosed space during the application and the restricted entry
					 interval.
(3) All other
					 applications made in an enclosed space not specified in (2) that result in a
					 restricted entry interval of greater than four hours, unless access to the
					 enclosed space is controlled in a manner that assures no employee (other than

					 within 1/4 mile during the application and the restricted entry
					 interval.
(4) Any application that
					 results in a restricted entry interval of greater than 48 hours as specified on

					 adverse health effects, this level shall be ten-fold below the air
					 concentration which has been determined by the Director to be adequately
					 protective of human health.
(b) For
					 pesticides which do not have thresholds for adverse health effects, this level

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) The
					 Director shall issue an annual emissions inventory report for the Sacramento
					 Metro, San Joaquin Valley, South Coast, Southeast Desert, and Ventura ozone
					 nonattainment areas. The emissions inventory report must:
(1) report the total agricultural and
					 structural (fumigant and nonfumigant) pesticide volatile organic compound (VOC)
					 emissions for the previous years. Nonfumigant pesticide product emissions will
					 be the summation of the pounds of each pesticide product used multiplied by the
					 VOC content (emission potential) for the specific product. Fumigant product
					 emissions will be the summation of the pounds of each pesticide product used
					 multiplied by the emission potential for that specific product and VOC emission
					 rating for the application method, as specified in (4);
(2) evaluate compliance with the total pounds
					 of agricultural and structural VOC emissions specified in section
					 6452.2;
(3) establish fumigant emissions limits
					 pursuant to section
					 6452.2 for the upcoming
					 year;
(4) establish an emission
					 rating for each field fumigation method described in sections
					 6446.1,
					 6447.3,
					 6448.2,
					 6449.1,
					 6450.1,
					 6450.2,
					 6451.1, or
					 6452. The emission rating will be
					 expressed as a percentage of the amount of fumigant applied. The Director shall
					 base the emission rating upon available scientific data documenting the VOC
					 emissions;
(5) establish
					 prohibitions on high-VOC nonfumigant products pursuant to section
					 6452.2(f), and if
					 applicable, determine if prohibitions pursuant to section
					 6884(c) remain in
					 effect;
(6) establish a list of the
					 nonfumigant products that are designated as low-VOC pursuant to section
					 6880;
(7) establish a list of the actively
					 registered nonfumigant products that are designated as high-VOC pursuant to
					 section 6880.
