1.0 Executive Summary

This Integrated Pest Management Plan (IPM Plan) describes how the MacDill Air Force Base will comply with the requirements of DoD Instruction 4150.07, “DoD Pest Management Program,” dated 2008.

An integrated pest management plan is required for the MacDill Air Force Base IAW DODI 4150.07.

This IPM Plan follows the requirements and elements defined in Enclosure 5 of DoD Instruction

4150.07 (29 May 2008), and in the presentation order specified in Enclosure 5. The IPM Plan addresses each element defined in Enclosure 5 whether the element applies or not. Any revision to the format of this plan, or addition of pesticides, requires advance approval from the Major Command Pest Management Consultant.

The Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR) for the IPM Plan is Civil Engineering (AFI 32- 1053). The Base Civil Engineer (BCE) has primary responsibility, unless responsibilities have been assigned in writing to another office(s).

Salient requirements of this plan include:

Under AFI 32-1053, Installation Pest Management Coordinator (a.k.a. “Pest Control Supervisor”) works in civil engineering and is responsible for installation's pest management program.

Only those pesticides pre-authorized by the Major Command Pest Management Consultant may be applied on installation. The “ARMED FORCES PEST

MANAGEMENT BOARD (AFPMB) STANDARD PESTICIDES LIST

AVAILABLE TO DOD COMPONENTS AND AGENCIES” itemizes pesticides recommended for use at DoD installations; however, the Installation Pest Management Coordinator is responsible for nominating specific pesticides to the Major Command Pest Management Consultant for approval. Each pesticide nominated for use must be tied to a corresponding pest-specific control strategy (see Annex_1).

Authorized pesticides may only be applied on installation by appropriately certified (DoD or State) pesticide applicators; unless, the applicator is under supervision by a certified applicator under initial training within career field AFSC 3E4X3, or the applicator is a properly trained/instructed participant within the installation self-help program or within a USDA-prescribed quarantine program. Personnel may apply repellents to skin, clothing, or netting for personal protection without pesticide-applicator certification. All pesticide treatments must in strict accordance with label directions. “The label is the law.”

Reporting must be done according to Section 8.5 of this IPM Plan or Management Internal Control Toolsets (MICT), State or DoD findings could result.

2.0 Background

2.1 Purpose

The purpose of this IPM Plan is to meet DoD policy requirements pursuant to DoD Directive 4715.1E, Environment, Safety, and Occupational Health (ESOH), DoD Instruction 4150.07, DoD Integrated Pest Management Program (28 May 2008), and Section 136 of Title 7, U. S.

Code; including responsibility of installations to:

Establish and maintain safe, effective, and environmentally sound IPM programs to prevent or control pests and disease vectors that may adversely impact readiness or military operations by affecting the health of personnel or damaging structures, materiel, or property.

Ensure that DoD pest management programs achieve, maintain, and monitor compliance with all applicable Executive Orders and applicable federal, state, and local statutory and regulatory requirements.

Incorporate sustainable IPM philosophy, strategies, and techniques in all aspects of DoD and Component vector control and pest management planning, training, and operations, including installation pest management plans and other written guidance to reduce pesticide risk and prevent pollution.

2.2 Plan Maintenance

Reviews of the Integrated Pest Management Plan and any resulting amendments or changes to the plan will be recorded and kept on file as part of the plan by Civil Engineering. This plan will be reviewed and updated annually by the installation and the installation shall plan the funding for the initial and 5-year revisions to the plan. The Major Command Pest Management Consultant shall review the IPM programs on-site every three years either in person or through an on-site external environmental compliance review, The Major Command Pest Management Consultant will annually review and technically approve this IPM plan. This plan should be reviewed sooner if a major revision is proposed.

The IPM Plan is subject to change:

If any applicable laws, regulations, or requirements are altered;

When any changes occur that increase potential health or environmental impacts from the management of pesticides; or At the request of the Major Command Pest Management Consultant.

Components of the IPM Plan should be reviewed and updated as needed to ensure that all information is as current as possible. Any amendments to the IPM Plan shall be implemented as soon as possible, but no later than 6 months after changes are made (unless legal requirements compel implementation sooner).

2.3 Integrated Pest Management Plan Objectives

The objectives of this Integrated Pest Management Plan (IPM Plan) are to:

Provide guidance for operating and maintaining an effective integrated pest management program at MacDill Air Force Base.

Ensure that pest management issues do not adversely impact military readiness and mission.

Comply with pertinent laws and regulations.

Meet or exceed DoD pest management measures of merit.

Identify and implement strategies for managing specific pests on the installation.

Implement judicious use of both non-chemical and chemical control techniques to achieve effective pest management that minimizes economic, health, and environmental risks. Emphasize the use of mechanical, biological, and cultural control techniques, using chemical techniques sparingly with caution. Use chemical controls only after careful consideration of alternative controls.

Emphasize use of pest monitoring to determine if and when treatments are needed rather than by a predetermined schedule.

Document coordination with other organizations and agencies.

2.4 Installation Description and Mission

Description. The primary missions of MacDill AFB are to provide worldwide air refueling and airlift support via the 6 Air Mobility Wing, and host base support for its major tenant units: US Central Command (USCENTCOM), US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) and the Joint Communications Support Element (JCSE).

As of 2009, the base population was estimated to include 4,682 active duty Air Force personnel, 5,449 dependents of Air Force personnel, 2,005 civilian personnel, 12,649 military personnel from other branches, and 3,000 guard/reservists assigned to MacDill. The base mission and population have changed considerably in the past decade with draw-downs and expansions, including the 1998 change from Air Combat Command to Air Mobility Command, deactivation of the NOAA Aircraft Operation Center in 2017, the addition of eight KC-135 Aircraft in 2018, and the planned bed down of 23 UH-60 helicopter as part of a two companies with the U.S.

Army Reserve for which facilities are currently under construction. MacDill also underwent a transition from full “ blue suit “ operations to contracted civilian employee operations on base in 1999. MacDill supports over 40 tenant operations on base.

MacDill AFB is located in Hillsborough County, Florida at the southern end of the Inter-bay Peninsula between Tampa and St. Petersburg. The base is bordered by Hillsborough Bay on the east, Tampa Bay to the south and west, and is about eight miles south of downtown Tampa. The size of the base is 5,695 acres.

Climate. The climate is subtropical, with an annual average temperature of 72° and an annual average precipitation of 42.77 inches.

Geology. The base elevation ranges from 4 to 13 feet above mean sea level with an average elevation of about 6 feet above mean sea level. Surface soil deposits consist of primarily quartz sand, and the vertical permeability of this type of soil is approximately 50 gallons per day per square foot. Runoff rates are quite low due to the lack of both elevation and relief. Man-made canals and storm drainage systems primarily control surface-water hydrologic conditions at MacDill. No major rivers or streams enter or leave the base.

Surface Water and Groundwater. The groundwater table is within a few feet of the surface during most of the year. Reinforced concrete pipe, concrete culverts and open ditches divert rainwater off base into the bays. Due to the flat terrain, localized flooding occurs during periods of heavy rains.
