Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Precipitation accumulation shall never
			 exceed a level that would impair the holding capacity of the containment area.
			 Such precipitation accumulation shall be removed from the containment area
			 after each storm and shall be field applied at agronomic rates, used in a
			 liquid mixing operation, or otherwise recycled or disposed of in accordance
			 with this Part. Precipitation accumulation from containment areas shall not be
			 discharged from the containment area as surface runoff during the application
			 season, except when the containment structure has been cleaned and rinsed of
			 pesticides in compliance with subsection (b), and the discharge shall not cause
			 either water quality violations pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code, Subtitle C or a
			 pesticide release pursuant to the Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5 ].
			 Any pesticide laden residues, rinsates, and pesticide contaminated wash water
			 that are to be land applied shall be handled in accordance with the products'
			 labels. Field application of diluted pesticide solutions is an acceptable use
			 if the total annual application amounts of the pesticide do not exceed the
			 pesticide label application rates. Spills, rinsates and pesticide contaminated
			 wash water may be used to make up the total spray mixture if the mixture does
			 not exceed the pesticide label application rates. Pesticide, pesticide
			 residues, rinsates, and pesticide contaminated wash water shall not be disposed
			 of through storm sewers, sanitary sewer systems, public or private sewage
			 treatment facilities or wells, waters of the State, nor to land, except as
			 provided in this Section.
b)
			 Pesticide spills into containment areas shall be recovered promptly and the
			 structure washed to remove pesticide contamination. Proper cleaning shall
			 include removal, washing and rinsing of material from the area, mud pits, sump
			 pits and all interconnected pipes of structures. These containment areas shall
			 be washed with a biodegradable cleanser, triple rinsed with a high pressure
			 hose and all standing water removed and disposed of as provided in subsection
			 (a).
c) Field washing of exterior
			 surfaces of pesticide application equipment is acceptable at the site of the
			 pesticide application provided no runoff from the site occurs.
d) Spray application vehicles and equipment
			 that are not cleaned shall be parked in the containment area or otherwise
			 protected from precipitation so as to prevent the release of pesticide residues
			 to the environment.
