10. Absorbent materiel shell not be washod do�m the tloor J�ain or into the storm sewer. <br /> 11. Emergency spill containment and cleanup kit(s)shall be located at the faciliry site. The contents of the <br /> kit shall be appropriate to the type and quantities of chemical liquids stored at the facility. The kit might <br /> contein appropriately lined drums,absorbent pads, and granular or powdered materials for neutralizing <br /> acids or alkaline liquids. Kits should be deployed m a manner that allows rapid access and use by <br /> employees. This plan shall be updated regularly. <br /> 4-2.2.10 BMP 51.90 VEGETATION MANAGEMENT/INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT <br /> As used in this BMP,pest is defined to mean any agent,whether inseat, fungus, bacteria, or vegetation which <br /> causes damage or is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Unless otherwise noted,the term pesticide includes <br /> those chemicals commonly known as pesticides, rodenticides, fungicides, nematicides,and herbicides. <br /> Vegetation ma�agement includes minimizing the growth of undesirable vegetation or encouraging the growth of <br /> desirable vegetation. Vegetation management may include use of herbicides to get rid of undesirable vegetation, <br /> pesticides to reduce pest infestations,or fertilizers to promote vegetative growth. These practices need to be <br /> implemented in an intelligent, environmentally sound fashion. <br /> Businesses who wish to use temporary or permanent seeding,or who intend to plant vegetation should refer to <br /> the following BMPs found in Chapter 2, Erosion and Sediment Control: <br /> BMP EI.10 Temporary Seeding <br /> BMP EI.15 Mulching and Matting <br /> BMP E]?0 Clear Plastic Covering <br /> BMP E135 Permanent Seeding and Planting <br /> BMP E1.40 Sodding <br /> These BMPs provide infortnation on grass mixtures,temporary and pertnanent seeding,maintenance of a <br /> recently planted area,and fertilizer application rates. , <br /> INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT <br /> Integrated Pest Management(IPM) is a long-tertn, ecologically based systems approach to controlling pest <br /> populations. !t utilizes a needs assessment based on decision-making cnleria and maximizes reliance on natural <br /> pest controls. <br /> IPM has two fundamental aims. The first is to steer pesticide use away from prophylactic, broad spectrum use <br /> towards optimized selective use,asing the various IPM components to guide decision-making and achieve an <br /> economically justifiable income. The second is to recognize that the non-economic consequences of pest cuntrol <br /> (and not just pesticide use)may be harmful to the environment, and so pesticide inputs should be reduced and <br /> natural controls maximized in order to minimize the environmental side effects. <br /> Integrated control is a pest management system that utilizes all suitable techniques either to reduce pest <br /> populations and maintatn them at levels below those causing economic injury,or to manipulate the populations <br /> so that they are prevented from causing such injury�. <br /> The major components of IPM are: <br /> - Initial information �atherine: 7'he pest and/or problem is identified. Infortnation should be collected on <br /> the biology of the pest and its msnagement,and previous methods used to manage the pest in the area. <br /> Records should be kept in some manner of on-going activities. <br /> - Monitorine: The plants or the site are observed for potential pest problems at regular intervals. Each <br /> monitoring s��stem needs to be tailored to the particular situation, and the level of effort should be <br /> nppropriate to the umount of damage caused by the pest,the time available,and the skill levcl of the <br /> person making the inspections. <br /> ;� i . <br /> 1 <br /> �� <br /> �. <br /> 42-14 <br />
