A00810-607420.pdf

This document is a MassDOT Herbicide Use Report Form (Document A00810) submitted by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation Highway Division in conjunction with Proposal No. 607420-136650 dated July 18, 2018. The form serves as a reporting mechanism for herbicide applications conducted on state highway projects and requires contractors to document detailed information about chemical products used, including EPA registration numbers, active ingredient percentages, and formulation rates for both dry and liquid applications. The form captures comprehensive treatment data including the contractor performing the work, affected municipalities, associated routes, project descriptions, targeted weeds (with specific notation for invasive species such as Tree of Heaven, with standards for treatment thresholds), application methods, acreage treated, gallons of formula used, treatment duration with specific start and end times, and area measurements in square yards or miles. Upon completion, the form must be submitted to the MassDOT District Engineer and Landscape Design Section in the Boston office.

The form includes sections for documenting multiple herbicide products and additional substances such as surfactants, along with applicator license numbers to ensure compliance and accountability. The document references an associated bridge replacement project—the Boden Lane over CSX/MBTA in Natick (Federal Aid Project No. HIP(NGB)-003S(965)X, N-03-012, Project ID 607420)—valued at $12.898 million with an October 27, 2026 bid deadline. The herbicide reporting requirements indicate MassDOT's commitment to environmental stewardship and regulatory compliance in managing vegetation control on state transportation infrastructure, with particular attention to invasive species management and documentation standards for all chemical applications.
