Panera Bread Stormwater Management Report Everett,WA <br /> 3. If oil or other chemicals are handled, store and maintain appropriate oil and chemical spill <br /> cleanup materials in readily accessible locations. Ensure that employees are familiar with <br /> proper spill cleanup procedures. <br /> Suggested BMPs for Landscaping <br /> 1. Conduct mulch-mowing whenever practicable. <br /> 2. Install engineered soil/landscape systems to improve the infiltration and regulation of <br /> stormwater in landscaped areas. <br /> 3. Dispose of grass clippings, leaves, sticks, or other collected vegetation by composting, if <br /> feasible. <br /> 4.Till fertilizers into the soil rather than dumping or broadcasting onto the surface. Determine <br /> the proper fertilizer application for the types of soil and vegetation encountered. <br /> 5.Till a topsoil mix or composted organic material into the soil to create a well-mixed transition <br /> layer that encourages deeper root systems and drought-resistant plants. <br /> 6. Use manual and/or mechanical methods of vegetation removal rather than applying <br /> herbicides, where practical. <br /> Required BMPs for the Use of Pesticides <br /> 1. Develop and implement an IPM plan (see information on integrated pest management <br /> below) and use pesticides only as a last resort. <br /> 2. Implement a pesticide-use plan and include at a minimum: a list of selected pesticides and <br /> their specific uses; brands,formulations, application methods, and quantities to be used; <br /> equipment use and maintenance procedures; safety, storage, and disposal methods; and <br /> monitoring, record keeping, and public notice procedures. All procedures shall conform to the <br /> requirements of Chapter 17.21 Revised Code of Washington (RCW) and Chapter 16-228 WAC. <br /> 3. Choose the least toxic pesticide available that is capable of reducing the infestation to <br /> acceptable levels.The pesticide should readily degrade in the environment and/or have <br /> properties that strongly bind it to the soil. Any pest control used should be conducted at the life <br /> stage when the pest is most vulnerable. For example, if it is necessary to use a Bacillus <br /> thuringiensis application to control tent caterpillars, it must be applied before the caterpillars <br /> cocoon or it will be ineffective. Any method used should be site-specific and not used wholesale <br /> over a wide area. <br /> 4.Apply the pesticide according to label directions. Under no conditions shall pesticides be <br /> applied in quantities that exceed manufacturer's instructions. <br /> 5. Mix the pesticides and clean the application equipment in an area where accidental spills will <br /> not enter surface or groundwater, and will not contaminate the soil. <br /> Core States Group Page 31 <br />
