Connecticut Administrative Code › Title 22a - Environmental Protection › 66l - Application of Pesticides by State Agencies › Section 22a-66l-1 - Application of pesticides by state agencies

Current through July 10, 2024
(a) Any
			 state department, agency or institution considering the indoor or outdoor
			 application of a pesticide, as defined in Section
			 22a-47 of the general
			 statutes, shall consider using integrated pest management methods and
			 techniques before making any pesticide application. Assistance from the
			 University of Connecticut Cooperative Extension Service may be provided in
			 accordance with Section
			 22-11b
			 of the general statutes.
(b) By
			 April 1, 1991, any state department, agency or institution which applies
			 pesticides or contracts for the application of pesticides shall adopt a pest
			 control management plan describing the pest control activities to be conducted
			 by the department, agency, institution and its agents. Any state department,
			 agency or institution which does not currently apply pesticides or contract for
			 their application and which therefore does not prepare a plan by April 1, 1991,
			 but which thereafter intends to apply or contract for the application of a
			 pesticide, shall prepare such a plan prior to any pesticide application. Pest
			 control management plans shall be revised by January 1 of each year to reflect
			 any changes in the pest control activities or intentions of the department,
			 agency or institution.
(c)
Each pest control management plan shall include:
(1) the name and business address of the
			 state department, agency or institution preparing and implementing the
			 plan;
(2) A description of the
			 objectives of the plan;
(3) the
			 name, business address and telephone number of a contact person, employed by
			 the department, agency or institution, familiar with the objectives and
			 contents of the plan;
(4) a list
			 and description of integrated pest management options to be implemented by the
			 department, agency or institution;
(5) a list and description of integrated pest
			 management options rejected and the reasons for rejecting each
			 option;
(6) a list and description
			 of pesticide use programs to be implemented by the department, agency or
			 institution including but not limited to the following:
(A) the types and amounts of pesticide to be
			 used;
(B) the need for pesticide
			 use and purposes for which the pesticides are to be used;
(C) the locations to be treated and the
			 timing and frequency of pesticide application to each location;
(D) the name and business registration number
			 of any commercial pesticide application business that the department, agency or
			 institution plans to have perform pesticide applications for it;
(E) the name and certification number of any
			 state employees that will perform pesticide applications for the department,
			 agency or institution; and
(F) maps
			 identifying the location of any public water supply watershed or well field, as
			 delineated in the "Atlas of the Public Water Supply Sources and Drainage Basins
			 of Connecticut" published by the Department of Environmental Protection, within
			 which any pesticide applications may be made, and special considerations
			 regarding pesticide applications in those areas.
