4-2 SOURCE CONTROL BMP SPECiFICATIONS <br />In this section, details and specifications are given for hvo different types of source controls-those appropriate for <br />construction sites and those for other urban land uses, such as businzsses. The Ciry may require any source <br />control BMPs which are appropriate for a particular business or construction site. <br />The construction site source control BMPs are or�anized by the activities found in !he Construction Site <br />Activities Checklist (Table 1-4.1, Section 1-4). These BMPs are mostly presented in the form of guidelines and <br />should be implemented on all construction sites where the described activities will occur. <br />The urban land use source contrcl BMPs are organized by the activities found on the Land Use Activities <br />Checklist (Table 1-4.2, Section 1-4). Specific recommendations for each business are not made since the <br />activities for each vary widely. <br />42.1 CONSTRUCTION SITE SOURCE CONTROL BMIPS <br />4-2.1.1 BMP C1.10 Pk:STICIDE CONTROL <br />The word "pesticide" includes herbicides and rodenticides as well as those chemicals used to control insect <br />populations. <br />Pesticides shall only be used in conjunction with Integrated Pest Management (see BMP S 1.90). Integrated Pest <br />Management utilizes a needs assessment which determmes which method to use and the necessity of controlling <br />a pest population. Pesticides should only be used after methods which are less disruptive to the environment and <br />to human health are used first. <br />If pesticides must be used, clearance is often required by restrictive federal anc� state regula[ions. All pesticides <br />should be stored and applied in accordance with regulations of the State Department of Agriculture, WAC 16- <br />228-185. The DOE Stormwater Management Manual gives additional i:�fortnation regarding these regulations. <br />When using pesticides, recommendations for dosages, type of application equipment, time of application, <br />application rates, and cleaning of application equipment should be adhered to. Many pesticides are considered <br />"Dangerous Wastes" and must be disposed of properly. Disposal of excess pesticides and pesticide-related <br />wastes should conform to all applicable federal, state and local regulations. General disposal procedures are: <br />- Dispose of excess pesticides and pesticide-related wastes through a licensed waste management firnt or <br />treatment, storage and disposal company (TSD). <br />- Use up all products, or give them away to garden centers, landscape services, etc. <br />- Triple rinse containers before disposal and re-use rinse waters as product. <br />Pesticide storage areas on the construction site should be protected from the elernents, from vandals, and from <br />unauthorized personnel. Waming signs should be placed in areas recently sprayed or treated with dangerous <br />pesticides. <br />Other appropriate procedures are: <br />Set aside a locked, weather-resistant storage area. Use plastic sheeting to line the storage area. <br />Regularly monitor storage areas for leaks and repair as necessary. <br />- Keep pesticides in a cool; dry place with a list of the products in storage. <br />- Tightly close lids and check containers periodically for leaks or deterioration. In case of a leak, put Ihe <br />original container into a larger container and label it properly. <br />- Require applicTtors to follow the notification requirements of the State DeNartment of Agricul,ture. <br />Neighbors on properties adjacent to the one being sprayeri should also be notified prior to spraying. <br />4-2-I <br />
