Herbicide Application Planning
Written chemical application recommendations should be provided by each project proponent from a certified Pest Control Advisor (PCA) (CEPA 2011). The PCA can ensure that legal, appropriate, and effective chemicals are used with appropriate methodologies. Field scouting must be done before application, and the licensed Applicator (CEPA 2011) must be on-site to lead all applications and will adhere to standard protection measures for application. Prior to field scouting or application, the PCA or licensed applicator, will receive Environmental Awareness Training (see GPM-4) for the project so that they are aware of special status species and habitats present at the project site.
