10. Absorbent material shall not be washed down the floor drain or int. tlie storm sewer. 1 I. Emergency spill containment and cleanup kit(s) shall be located at the facility site. The contents of the kit shall be appropriare ro the h�pe and quantitias of chemical liquids stored at the facility. The kit might contain appropriately lined drums, absorbent pads, and granular or powden:d materials for neutralizing acids or alkaline liquids. Kits should be deployed in a manner that allows rapid access and use by employees. This plan shall be updated regularly. �-2.2.10 BdiP 51.90 VEGETATION i�IANAGEMENT/INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT As used in this BMP, pest is defined to mean any agent, whether insect, fwigus, bacteria, or vegetation which causes damaee or is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Unless otherwise noted, the tertn pesticide includes those chemicals commonly known as pesticides, rodenticides, fungicides, nematicides, and herbicides. Vegetation manaeement includes minimizing the growtl� of undesirable vegetation or enconraging the growth of desirable vegetation. Vegetation management may include use of herbicides to get rid of undesirable vegetation, pesticides to reduce pest infestations, or fertilizers to promote vegetative growth. These practices need to be implemented in an inteliigent, environmentally sound fashion. Businesses who wish to use temporary or pertnanent seeding, or who intend tc plant vegetation should refer to the following BMPs found in Chapter 2, Erosion and Sediment Control: BMP E1.10 Temporary Seeding BI�4P E1.15 Mulching and Matting BMP E1.20 Clear Plastic Covering BMP E135 Permanent Seeding and Planiing BIvIP E1.40 Soddine These BMPs provide infortnation � grass mix[ures, temporary and permanent seeding, maintenance of a recendy planted area, and fertilizer application rates. INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT Inteerated Pest Manaeement (IPM) is a long-tertn, ecologically based systems approach ro controlling pest populations. It utilizes a needs assessment based on decision-making criteria and maximizes reliance on uatural pest controls. IPivt has nvo fundamental aims. The first is to steer pestic�de use away from prophylactic, broad spectrum use towards optimized selective use, using the various [PM components to guide decision-making and achieve an economically justifiable income. The second is to recognize tl�at the non-economic consequences of pest control (and not just pesti�ide use) may be harmful to the environment, and so pesticide inputs should be reduced and natural controls marimized in order to minimize the environmental side effects. Integrated control is a pest management system that utilizes all suitable techniques either to reduce pest populations and maintain them at levels below those causing economic injury, or to mr,ipulate the populations so tha[ they are prevented from causing such injury. The major components of IPbI are: - Initial infortnation eatherino: The pest and/or problem is identified. lnformation should be collected on tlre biology of the pest and its management, and previous methods used to manage the pest in the area. Records should be kept in some manner of on-going activities. - Monitorine: The plants or the site are observed for potential pest problems at regular intervals. Each monitoring system needs to be tailored to the particular situauon, and the level of effort should be appropriate to the amount of damage caused by the pest, the time available, and the skill leve! of the � person making the i�spections. 4-2-14
