Naval Base Point Loma Integrated Pest Management Plan November 2016 xiii

Executive Summary The Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Plan is a comprehensive, long-range document that captures all of the pest management operations and pesticide-related activities conducted on the installation. It incorporates pest management practices and the local, state, federal, and Department of Defense (DoD) regulations, and conforms to the requirements of Department of Defense Instruction (DODI) 4150.07, DOD Pest Management Program, and Chief of Naval Operations Instruction (OPNAVINST) 6250.4C, Navy Pest Management Programs. The plan supplies comprehensive information about the pest management program to installation staff and internal and external stakeholders. This plan is an update of the San Diego Metro Area Installation IPM Plan completed in 2009. The most significant change to this plan is that this is a stand-alone plan for NBPL rather than a site plan within the San Diego Metro regional plan.

The Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Southwest Applied Biologist prepared this plan using information obtained through pest management data collection, on-site observations, installation personnel interviews, and document reviews.

The main goal of the various pest management functions is to support the mission of Naval Base Point Loma. Both DoD and commercial contract pest management service providers perform services on the installation. Pest management services are needed on the installation in order to:

1. Prevent pest-borne diseases, illnesses and injury for Force Health Protection.

2. Manage pests on piers, ports of embarkation, barracks, and fleet support facilities to prevent the introduction of pests onto submarines and other vessels.

3. Protect buildings, materiel, and equipment from pest damage and interference with operations.

4. Protect ecosystems and plant and animal communities from impact by non-native, invasive species; and

5. Protect the appearance and health of the landscaped environment from noxious and destructive pests.

An installation IPM Coordinator is required to maintain this plan and coordinate all aspects of the pest management program. For the current level of work to be accomplished, a sufficient staff of qualified applicators must be maintained. Commercial contract personnel must have state certification / licensing as specified by the contract. DoD pest control performance assessment representatives (PCPAR) must successfully complete an initial PCPAR course. To maintain their certification, the PCPAR and DoD pesticide applicators must successfully pass a DoD pest management training and recertification course every three years. Pest control facilities must comply with current safety standards to provide a safe workplace and to minimize pesticide hazards.

This plan focuses on safe, environmentally-sound, and cost-effective control of pests through IPM. IPM depends on education, proper surveillance and identification of pests, non-chemical and chemical control methods, and individual responsibility for pest prevention.

November 2016 Integrated Pest Management Plan xiv

1.1.2.8 Joint Regional Correctional Facility

This facility is on 23 acres on Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, 18 miles northwest of the Point Loma peninsula. The facility can house 400 prisoners and has 200 staff personnel.

1.1.2.9 MSC Exchange

The Exchange is a warehouse facility for shipping and receiving supplies and equipment.

1.1.2.10 Military Family Housing

Housing for military families assigned to NBPL and other San Diego bases is on privately leased housing sites. There are eleven housing areas that are managed under a partnership with Lincoln/Clark Military Housing.

1.2 The Integrated Pest Management Plan (IPMP)

1.2.1 Scope

The NBPL IPMP is a long-range, comprehensive planning and operational document that establishes the procedures for conducting a safe, effective, and environmentally sound integrated pest management program. This IPMP covers all pest management and pesticide-related activities conducted by civilian and military Department of Defense (DoD) personnel, commercial pest management service providers (PMSP), and lessees on NBPL including tenant commands.

This plan includes NBPL proper and the outlying DoD properties. This plan does not apply to privatized military family housing (MFH) on non-DoD land.

1.2.2 Implementation Authority

DoDI 4150.07, OPNAVINST 6250.4C and OPNAVINST 5090.1D (OPNAVM 5090.1, Chapter 24) require all Navy activities that conduct pest management operations to have and to implement an

IPMP.

1.2.3 DoD Measures of Merit

This Plan provides the framework for NBPL to meet the DoD’s annual pest management program goals or measures of merit (MoM). Per DoDI 4150.07, the MoMs are:

Goal 1. 100% of DoD installations will have current pest management plans. NBPL is helping to meet this goal by the implementation (by installation commanding officer signature) and maintenance of this Plan.

Goal 2. Maintain the 55% pesticide use reduction achieved from 1993-2003 (measured in pounds of active ingredient). NBPL will provide data for this MoM through the reporting requirement (Section 2.6.2) and contributes to this goal by minimizing pesticide use through integrated pest management (IPM).

Goal 3. 100% of all DoD installation pesticide applicators will be appropriately certified. NBPL will ensure proper certification of all DoD and contract and lessee applicators through regular verifications and maintain a list of certifications in Appendix K of this Plan. See Section

2.4 for training and certification requirements and Appendix K for a list of certified applicators.

1.2.4 Using the IPMP

This IPMP provides a comprehensive overview of pest management and pesticide-related operations on NBPL. The IPMP is divided into a base-wide core plan and topic specific appendices. The Plan can be used as a reference by all installation personnel and can be provided to external regulators. The Plan is provided in hard copy binders and electronic form.

1.3 Pest Management Program Overview

1.3.1 Overview

The pest management program at NBPL is summarized below. Table 2 lists the NBPL pest management service providers (PMSP).

The installation IPM Coordinator is a staff member in the Environmental Management

Division.

Pest control for most of the NBPL facilities is performed by PW Pest Control. The facilities or areas that are not included are landscaped grounds and privatized military family housing (MFH). They also conduct weed control along right-of-ways. Supplemental facilities pest control services are available through the regional facilities support contract with Wolf Creek Federal Services.

Landscape maintenance that includes weed control on improved grounds on NBPL is performed by Wolf Creek and subcontracted to Knott’s Pest Control.

The military family housing is managed by Lincoln / Clark Military Housing. They are responsible for maintenance of the residences and provide pest control through San Diego Pest Control and landscape maintenance services through Valley Crest Landscaping.

The Natural Resources program uses a NAVFAC Southwest regional contract for invasive plant management.

The Preventive Medicine Department (PMD) at Naval Medical Center San Diego (NMCSD) performs food service sanitation and facilities habitability inspections and oversees programs to prevent vector-borne disease including mosquito surveillance.

In addition to the PMSPs, individual personnel including employees and housing tenants have a responsibility for preventing and reducing pest infestations in their workplace and/or berthing/residence areas. This IPMP encompasses all of the activities of the PMSPs and individuals.

1.3.2 Pest Management Objectives

The general pest management objectives at NBPL are:

1. Prevent pest-borne diseases, illnesses and injury for Force Health Protection.

2. Manage pests on piers, ports of embarkation, barracks, and fleet support facilities to prevent the introduction of pests onto submarines and other vessels.

3. Protect buildings, materiel, and equipment from pest damage and interference with operations.

4. Protect ecosystems and plant and animal communities from impact by non-native, invasive species; and

5. Protect the appearance and health of the landscaped environment from noxious and destructive pests.

1.4 Regulatory Compliance

1.4.1 Policy

The Department of Defense policy is: “Comply with all Executive orders and Federal, State, and local statutory and regulatory requirements that apply to IPM. Although Federal agencies maintain sovereignty under Section 136 of title 7 of the United States Code, the Department of Defense voluntarily complies with the substantive portions of State pesticide and pest management laws and regulations when such compliance does not adversely impact DoD missions.” (DoDI 4150.07, Para. 4.3) When there is a conflict between Federal and local regulations, the installation will comply with the more stringent of the two. This commonly occurs with pesticides limited for use by the State of California, which are not necessarily restricted by the EPA. In this case, the installation must comply with California regulations.

1.4.2 Laws and Regulations

1.4.2.1 Primary Pesticide Regulations

Federal: U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 40 CFR Section E, 152-180: Pesticide

Programs; Executive Order 13514

DoD, Navy and Marine Corps: DoD 4150.07, DoD Pest Management Program; OPNAVINST 6250.4C, Navy Pest Management Programs; OPNAVINST 5090.1D, Environmental Readiness Program and OPNAV Manual 5090.1, Chapter 24, Pesticide Compliance Ashore

California: California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 3 Division 6

1.4.2.2 The Pesticide Label

The primary source of pesticide regulations for the pesticide applicator is found on the pesticide label in accordance with 40 CFR 156. California may add supplementary labels, which are regulations that must be complied with inside the State. It is a violation of Federal and/or State law to use a pesticide in a manner inconsistent with the label. Note, however, that the pesticide label does not provide specific information for each site where the pesticide may be applied. For example, the pesticide label may allow application of an herbicide to unimproved grounds, but if those grounds are within an endangered species habitat, then pesticide use may be restricted under the Endangered Species Act. Pesticide applicators should be aware of environmentally sensitive areas before beginning any new pesticide application and should contact the Environmental Management Division (EMD). See Chapter 5 for specific environmental restrictions and requirements.

1.4.2.3 Recent Regulatory Changes

California Pesticide Regulation Preventing Surface Water Contamination with Pesticides.

Effective 19 Jul 2012 DPR amended Section 6000 and adopted Sections 6970 and 6972 of Title 3 California Code of Regulations (3 CCR), which identifies pesticides that have a high potential to contaminate surface water in outdoor nonagricultural settings, and require pest control businesses, including maintenance gardeners, that apply these pesticides to take actions to minimize that contamination. http://www.cdpr.ca.gov/docs/legbills/rulepkgs/11- 004/text_final.pdf

Expanding Use Restrictions to Reduce Risks of Aluminum and Magnesium Phosphide. To better protect people from dangerous exposures, EPA expanded restrictions on aluminum and magnesium phosphide products that are used to control burrowing rodents. Aluminum and magnesium phosphide products for the burrowing rodent use are formulated as tablets and pellets that are rapidly transformed to highly toxic phosphine gas when exposed to moisture. Phosphine fumigants have been associated with accidental poisoning incidents, and their use is restricted to specially trained pesticide applicators.

https://archive.epa.gov/pesticides/reregistration/web/html/aluminum-magnsm-phos-fs.html

Final Risk Mitigation Decision for Ten Rodenticides. After fully assessing human health and ecological effects, as well as benefits, EPA announced measures to reduce risks associated with ten commonly-used rodenticides. This includes how rodenticides can be applied.

https://www.epa.gov/rodenticides/rodent-control-pesticide-safety-review

NPDES Permits for Aquatic Pesticide Applications. Clean Water Act (CWA) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit coverage for aquatic pesticide applications are now required. EPA issued a final permit on 31 Oct 2011 and other States followed suit by issuing their permits. If pest management operations are conducted without permit coverage then enforcement or legal action may be taken against the installation. See Section 5.3.4 for detailed information.

1.4.2.4 Other Regulations

Other applicable directives, laws and regulations concerning pesticide applications and pest management operations are listed and described in Appendix C.

1.4.3 Pesticide Regulation and Enforcement

1.4.3.1 Pesticide Regulation

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has the primary authority to regulate pesticides in the U.S. The EPA delegates pesticide enforcement authority to states through cooperative agreements. In California, the Department of Pesticide Regulations (CDPR), a department of the California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal/EPA) provides the enforcement infrastructure, which is delegated to the County Agricultural Commissioners (CAC). However, the CDPR and CACs have only limited authority to regulate pesticides on federal facilities, including DoD installations. OPNAVINST 6250.4C requires Navy installations to comply with state and local pesticide use regulations. However, the State or county cannot directly enforce pesticide use under the Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) by federal employees on federal facilities. Nor can the State impose civil penalties against federal agencies or personnel for violations of state pesticide laws on federal facilities. However, persons using pesticides in a manner not consistent with the label are not completely absolved from responsibility for misuse of a toxic material. Personnel contracted to apply pesticides on federal property are subject to different laws and policies and are not protected in this manner. CDPR policies on pesticide use regulations on federal facilities are stated in CDPR Enforcement Letter ENF 99-037 (see Appendix C) of 01 Oct 1999. This policy states that the CDPR and CACs do have authority to directly regulate private (non-federal) persons who conduct pest control activities on DoD installations under contract to the DoN or other federal agency or the operator of the installation.

CDPR and CACs can impose penalties on private persons for violations of state pesticide laws.

Executive Order 12088, “Federal Compliance with Pollution Control Standards”, does not provide CDPR or CACs with authority to compel federal agencies’ compliance with state pesticide laws or to take civil penalty actions. It does, however, allow state and local agencies to request the Administrator of U.S. EPA to resolve conflicts that arise concerning federal agency compliance with state and local pollution control standards. CDPR policy states that the following pollution control standards are within the context of the Executive Order:

The pesticide registration program;

The restricted material permit program;

The pesticide storage, transportation, and disposal program;

The general standards of care regarding pesticide applications listed in Title 3 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR), Sections 6600, and 6602-6616;

The ground and surface water protection programs; and

The toxic air contaminants program.

States can enforce pesticide use as regulated by other State enforced Federal Laws such as the Clean Water Act (CWA), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Endangered Species Act (ESA), and Clean Air Act (CAA). Also, current immunity from state regulation of pesticide use does not preclude the possibility of legal ramifications in the future. Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) may result in the transfer of DoD properties to state, county, or private entities. Contamination of these properties resulting from improper past pesticide use may result in high costs associated with environmental remediation or legal actions against the DoD.

1.4.3.2 Compliance Assessments

Internal program assessments should be conducted by the IPMC. Appendix D contains a compliance self-assessment checklist. External audits are conducted by Navy Installations Command (NIC). The NAVFAC Southwest PPMC has no enforcement authority but can provide the installation with technical assistance for compliance. OPNAVINST 6250.4C requires the PPMC to conduct a review of pest management operations every 24 to 36 months. The purpose of this review is to monitor conformance with the IPMP and to provide assistance in updating the plan. The reviews can also be used to provide recommendations for preparing for compliance inspections / assessments and to correct findings and deficiencies from past audits.

1.4.3.3 Enforcement

Since the state does not have the authority to enforce the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) on the installation, the responsibility for compliance and enforcement lies with the ICO. As the ICO’s pest management program advisor, the IPMC shall be familiar with federal, state and local pesticide use regulations and ensure that the PMSPs conduct operations in compliance with these regulations. Regulatory enforcement for each of the PMSPs is provided.

Commercial applicators: PCPARs shall provide assistance by monitoring contract PMSPs for compliance with all applicable regulations as specified in the contract and will recommend appropriate actions to the contracting officer if the contractor does not comply. The installation is encouraged to report violations by contractors to the CAC, therefore the IPMC should maintain liaison with the CAC. The CAC will also investigate pesticide-poisoning incidents and will take appropriate compliance or enforcement action against commercial applicators found responsible for an incident. PMTs conducting inspections of food service facility pest management programs can also ensure compliance for safe pesticide use and applicator licensing / certification (inspection guidelines are found in NAVMED P-5010 Chapters 1 and 8).

DoD-certified applicators and State-licensed applicators who work for the DoD: The pesticide applicator’s immediate supervisor, with the assistance of the IPMC, shall also ensure that pesticide use is in compliance. Under the authority of DoD Instruction (DoDI) 4150.07 and DoD Directive 5134.01 and per DoD 4150.07-M, Vol. 1, the DoD may deny, suspend, or revoke the certificate of any DoD employee who violates any provision of FIFRA or falsifies records under DoD 4150.07-M, Vol. 1. In accordance with DoD 4150.07-M, Vol. 1, the ICO may initiate a formal review if FIFRA violations are suspected. Violations shall be reported through appropriate command channels to the NAVFACSW certifying authority for review.

The certifying authority shall determine if further action is required. That action may include suspension of the applicator’s certification. See DoD 4150.07-M, Vol. 1 for more information.

Private agricultural applicators: Farmers are regulated closely by the CDPR through the CAC. They are subject to unannounced inspections that review pesticide use and worker safety. The IPMC should facilitate base access by the CAC, receive and maintain copies of inspection reports from the CAC and should occasionally accompany the CAC inspector on inspections.

1.5 Program Requirements

1.5.1 Administration

Administration of the pest management program involves the documentation of pest management activities on the installation for the purpose of implementing IPM and ensuring that only qualified personnel apply pesticides. Table 3 outlines the pest management program requirements.

1.5.2 Operations

Operations are the actual execution of pesticide and integrated pest management (IPM) activities.

These activities include prevention, monitoring / surveillance, and control. Pest management on the NBPL includes the following categories of operations:

1. Ornamental and Turf – Inspection for and control of weeds and arthropod, vertebrate, nematode, and disease pests in landscaped areas and on turf.

2. Right-of-Way – Weed inspection and control along fence lines, roadways, airfield runways, taxiways, and sidewalks.

3. Exotic Invasive Weed Control – Prevention, detection, and control of weeds that are detrimental to endangered and threatened species’ habitats.

4. Industrial, Institutional, Structural, and Health-Related – Prevention, survey, and control of pests in and around buildings. Pests include rodents, flies, ants, spiders and a variety of household pests. This also includes nuisance bird management and animal control.

5. Wildlife Conflict Management – Prevention and control of wildlife that can be a public health pest or cause damage to real property and natural habitats.

6. Public Health – Surveillance and control of human and animal disease vectors such as rodents and mosquitoes.

Specific operations are described in Section 3.2. Each of these operations must meet requirements that are listed and described in Table 4.
