NARRATIVE PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN

1. Introduction:

a. Objective of the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Plan: A narrative IPM Plan is required by DoDI 4150.07 and DoDI 41507.07 volume I for installations conducting IPM annually. This plan, required for Columbus Air Force Base (CAFB), describes IPM operations and management, health and safety, regulatory compliance and environmental protection.

(1) Emphasis is placed on surveillance data and integrated IPM techniques. IPM records, including self-help items issued golf course and contractor applications are maintained in the Integrated IPM Information System (IPMIS) Pest Program. The procedures are as follows:

The facilities building managers are to maintain control of unwanted pest first. The 14 CES Warehouse has traps and pesticide for control of small infestation of pest. If pest cannot be controlled or eliminated, a work order form must be submitted to 14 CES. Entomology will inspect the facility and make recommendations or treat for pest problem.

(2) The plan is reviewed annually by CAFB Natural Resources Manager, IPMC and other as directed by the most current Management Internal Control Toolset (MICT). The plan will be updated incorporating all changes as needed and formally staffed every five years per AFI32-1053.

b. Responsibilities for Conduct of the IPM Program: Daily operations are performed by DoD-certified integrated IPM (IPM) personnel (entomology aka. IPM) under the supervision of 14CES/CEO chief. Daily responsibilities include surveillance, trapping, exclusion, pesticide application and records maintenance for CAFB, Shuqualak auxiliary airfield and one radar site located at Greenwood Springs, Mississippi.

2. IPM Requirements and Strategies for Applicable Pest/Disease Vectors:

a. Disease Vectors and Other Health-Related Pests: In accordance with the CAFB Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPP), only EPA MAJCOM approved herbicides and pesticides are used on base. All pesticides and herbicide applications will be of the least toxic effective chemical and applied in accordance with label instructions. Further, the application of these substances will be kept to an absolute minimum throughout the base.

(1) Mosquitoes: IPM personnel coordinate survey and control procedures with 14th Medical Group, Public Health (PH). Adult and larval surveys are performed (Apr-Oct) by PH, and they direct mosquito-fogging operations when possible disease vector areas are identified.

IPM methods: Water management in ditches and low lying areas to reduce breeding areas.

Vegetation controls such as mowing to reduce resting sites. Chemical control - Larvicides, liquids with residuals, non-residuals (aerosols), and fogging for control.

(2) Cockroaches: IPM coordinate survey and control procedures with PH. PH performs surveys at all food handling, childcare and medical facilities to identify possible insect and rodent infestations and unsanitary conditions within the facility. Upon completion of survey of control procedures, building occupants are informed of any recommendations that would aid in pest reduction and improved sanitation. Survey hours made by PH will be reported to the IPM personnel for inclusion in the monthly report (IPMIS).

IPM methods: Sanitation is the first method for control of roaches. Clean areas without harborage spots and left over food will be the facility manager responsibility. The use of soap and high pressure washing for equipment, floors and walls will help in sanitation. Facilities manager use mechanical and physical methods of IPM need to eliminate harborage spots such as unused equipment, caulking and blocking entry points, using roach- proof containers for food storage and glue traps for monitoring, and control of excessive moisture and debris around equipment.

Chemical Control: The use of residual liquids and granules insecticides, bait products and dust will help for control of roaches.

(3) Bed Bugs: IPM will respond to possible bed bug reports in TLF and Magnolia Inn housing. IPM will make inspection of rooms and make recommendations to eliminate pest.

Follow-up visits to evaluate success and provide additional control measures if necessary for treatment.

IPM methods: Facilities managers must educate employees and residents for signs and identification of bed bugs and report issues immediately to Pest Control as soon as identified.

Cultural control for bed bugs includes cleaning and organizing, inspection the rooms, furniture, beds and including eliminating clutter. Mechanical Control: The use of sticky traps and bed bug interceptors under bed post before and after bed bugs are found are a useful tool for IPM and inspection. Chemical Control: When bed bug infestation occurs in rooms the room will be toughly cleaned with steam vacuuming to help kill all stages and remove dead bed bugs.

Inspection of room to reduce all harborage spots, remove infested mattress and box springs encasements and fix and repair cracks crevices around the room. The treatment of residual, aerosol, and dust products can be helpful in the control and elimination of pest. Facilities manager and Pest Control will monitor the room until clear of pest.

(4) Fleas and Ticks: Treat identified points of infestation as needed for fleas and ticks.

IPM methods: Vegetation control as needed. Insecticide sprays or dust chemicals as needed.

(5) Fire Ants: This biting insect is found throughout the base. Control procedures are primarily chemical. IPM personnel treat all common areas when notified by managers, such as parks, athletic fields, playgrounds and street curbsides.

IPM methods and Sanitation Control by residents and enforced by building management: Remove and control areas of food products that attract pest, store products in closed plastic containers and clean with soap and water to remove unwanted residue to prevent attraction. Products are available and encouraged to use for control of pest at 14 CES Warehouse. Chemical application in the form of granulated pesticides is encouraged, as per the CAFB Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan. Chemical Control: The use of baits, residual liquids, Granules, dust products and mound treatments are ways for control of pest.

(6) Bees/Wasps/Hornets: Due to the high potential for personal injury, IPM personnel respond and assist in the control of all bee/wasp/hornet calls. The primary control for these pests is chemical. Mechanical means are also implemented when applicable.

b. General Household and Nuisance Pests: Insects such as ants, crickets, millipedes, American and Oriental cockroaches, flies and non-venomous spiders fall into this category.

IPM methods: Building managers must ensure sanitation, vacuuming up debris, caulking holes, replacing broken screens, door seals and keeping debris from accumulating around and inside buildings and using products available from the 14 CES Warehouse. Washing areas with soap and water will help in management of pest. If these IPM methods do not eliminate the pest problem, then Pest Control will inspect area and make recommendations to facility for control of pest. If managers cannot control problem of pest in reasonable time Pest Control will respond to the problem. Chemical Control: The use of baits, residual liquids, aerosol, granules, dust products and mound treatments are ways for control of pest.

c. .Structural Pests: The only structural pest of any importance on CAFB is the subterranean termite.

IPM methods: provide a positive identification of termites, then report the infestation to 14th Civil Engineer Squadron, Operations Flight, Operations Support Element. Operations Support Element then acquires pest control services from a local pest control company to perform termite control procedures. The termite treatment contract is monitored by a certified IPM quality assurance evaluator (QAE).

d. Weed Control: Weed control on CAFB is accomplished at numerous sites for various reasons. The most important site is the airfield, including the runways, taxiways and parking ramps. Other areas include fence lines, sidewalks, parking lots and athletic fields.

IPM methods: cleaning, sealing cracks and mechanical controls such as string edgers are implemented prior to the use of herbicides to control crack grass throughout the base. Ground Contractors use a mixture of herbicides to spray as a growth retardant for grass and to reduce unwanted weeds throughout the base when needed. Contractors use approved herbicide for control of unwanted grass throughout CAFB. Building managers are strongly encouraged to use the products available from the CES Warehouse (Self-Help) for the control of small weed growth around buildings and sidewalks.

e. Stored Products Pests: There are currently no problems with stored products pests on CAFB. If any infestations were discovered, it would most likely be at the commissary or some other food handling facility. Survey for these pests is primarily the responsibility of food receiving facilities with Public Health assistance for verification. If an infestation is found, IPM personnel will implement needed sanitation and chemical controls.

f. Pests of Ornamental Plants and Turf: These pests are of very little significance on CAFB.

Fall webworms appear in late summer. Control procedures consist primarily of mechanically removing the webs from the trees. Occasionally, an airborne fungus or bacteria will attach to trees and bushes. Chemical control or mechanical control applications are used to reduce the effects of the fungus. Dead or severely damaged (hazard) trees are reported for removal. Trees are removed and recycled for mulch or fire wood.

g. Pests of Natural Resources: Ips beetles are the more common pine plantation pests. Pine beetles can cause high mortality among timber. Identified infestation will be reported to CES for removal and sale as commercial timber.

h. Golf Course Pests: Golf course personnel control a wide variety of pests, to include insects, vertebrates, weeds and fungus. Golf course personnel, State certified in appropriate EPA categories, also apply pesticides and herbicides throughout the year to reduce damage from these pests. (see: Golf Course Attachment B)

i. Miscellaneous Pests: IPM personnel shall identify and remove snakes found on base when notified by base personnel.

j. Vertebrate Pests: There are numerous vertebrate pests found on CAFB. They include mice, rats, armadillos, opossums, skunks, squirrels, birds and bats.

IPM methods: trapping devices. Mice and rats can be controlled by sticky traps and the use of poison baits. Animals found dead as a result of trapping, baiting or some other reason are disposed of in a safe and sanitary method (sanitary landfills). Wild animals trapped in live traps are released back to the wild. Feral dogs and cats are trapped and turned over to the local Animal Control Officer for proper handling. All those operations are performed by IPM

k. Other Categories: USDA Wildlife Service’s works with airfield personnel to protect airfield and control unwanted wildlife from entering airfield and Bird Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH) program.

3. Administration:

a. Job Orders: All work performed by IPM is accomplished by job orders.

b. Contracts: All contractors use DoD-approved pesticides and are monitored by the Operations Support Element quality assurance personnel. Chemical usage is tracked by IPM personnel using IPMIS. IPM provides assistance whenever it is required.

c. Inter-Service Support Agreements: There are no inter-service support agreements for pest control at CAFB.

d. Out-leases: There are two out-leases on base, the Credit Union and several gas/oil wells.

IPM does not provide services to either out-lease.

e. Resources (Current and Proposed):

(1) Funding: The budget for IPM is included in the general civil engineer budget.

Spending is tracked in PEC 85778, using cost center 0441 and organizational code 462

LF.

(2) Staffing: There are currently two civilian personnel assigned to IPM and one alternate civilian for backup: (see Attachment A)

(3) Materials: IPM currently has one truck, one tractor and two Toro carts assigned to the shop. Application equipment includes: one 1,000 gallon hydraulic sprayer, two 200-gallon hydraulic sprayers, one ULV (ultra low volume) fogger, two 50-gallon 12-volt electric sprayers, John Deere Gator, one Buffalo Turbine and one Golden Eagle Thermal Fogger.

(4) Facilities: The IPM shop was constructed in 1991. It was designed in accordance with 1990 Technical Information Memorandum No. 17 guidance.

f. Reports and Records: Records for all IPM actions and chemical quantities are currently maintained through the IPMIS WEB programs. Monthly and special reports are maintained for IPM. A copy of material safety data sheets and labels for each chemical are maintained in IPM shop, Bldg.1120. Monthly reports contain information from IPM, golf course, self-help, grounds and other contractors.

g. Training Plans: After completion of initial training, IPM personnel receive their initial DoD pesticide applicator certification. Recertification must be accomplished every three years.

Attendance at one of the approved schools is mandatory. All IPM personnel are currently DoD certified.

h. Coordination with Food Service Managers, Building Managers, etc.: Prior to pest control being provided in any food facility, building managers and PH are contacted. Degree of insect/ rodent problems is identified and control procedures to be used are discussed. A memo with building number, date and time of scheduled appointment and control procedures used is kept on file at IPM.

i. Termite Inspection Plan: Due to limited manpower, termite inspections are performed on an as-needed basis. When a customer notifies IPM about a possible termite infestation, personnel respond to make a positive identification. Operations Support Element oversees the termite-control services from a local source for term of contract. After contract expires 14 CES Pest Control maintains quarterly inspections. Contracting requests specifying use of chemicals are routed through IPMC, CES and hazardous material management process personnel for approval. New contract requirements are sent to MAJCOM, PMC, and 14CES/CEOS for pesticide approval prior to actual contracting action.

j. The IPM Annual Work Plan (Table 3.1, page 13) states Financial yearly cost of Pesticides, Termite Treatment, TDY and Training, and Equipment cost and repair.

4. Health and Safety Measures:

a. Requirements: All pest control and golf course personnel are certified to apply pesticides and participate in the occupational health program. IPM personnel are on the respiratory protection program. The 14th Medical Group, Bioenvironmental Engineering, provides the testing and records the results in the individual’s health record.

b. Methods to Reduce Potential Hazards:

(1) IPM Personnel: IPM personnel use mechanical control of pests when possible which involves removing pests by hand or using mechanical devices to trap, to remove pest. By using this method, all personnel are exposed to chemicals as little as possible. Personnel also use all required safety equipment and ensure that they are properly maintained.

(2) Installation Personnel: Building managers are encouraged to use self-help products available in the CES Warehouse. IPM and warehouse personnel educate Building Managers to possible hazards of pesticide use and instructions.

(3) Public: Educate through newspaper articles, attending building manager meetings or any other medium available including newcomer’s briefing.

c. Safety and Health Measures Associated with the IPM Shop: Storage and mixing rooms are separated from clean areas. Laundering facilities are available to clean coveralls. Personnel are provided all required safety equipment and the means to repair or replace any faulty safety equipment immediately. Physical exams are scheduled annually. Exhaust fan is tested quarterly.

d. Safety and Health Measures Associated with the IPM Vehicles: Shop vehicles are not shared by other shops due to the potential of pesticide contamination. Trucks are equipped with locking compartments to secure pesticides and equipment. Trucks are equipped with spill cleanup kits and shop personnel are trained on how to contain and report spills. Yellow hazard warning beacons are installed on vehicles that are used in slow-driving, pest control operations, i.e., mosquito fogging and treating ant mounds. All vehicles will have a safety eye wash kits.

5. Public Laws and Regulations: The IPM operations are directed by the following directives:

a. DoDI 4150.07, IPM Program, 29 May 2008

b. AFI 32-1053, IPM Program, 20 Nov 2014

6. Coordination with Other Organizations and Agencies: The IPM shop coordinates with the following base agencies in the completion of its pest control objectives:

a. Public Health: Performs surveys of food facilities and discusses control procedures as needed. Treatment schedules for food facilities will be coordinated with PH. PH will provide a count of survey hours on food handling facilities for inclusion in the monthly IPM report.

b. Bioenvironmental Engineering: Schedules annual shop industrial hygiene visits and ventilation survey.

c. Fire Department: IPM notifies the base fire department when fogging inside base facilities. IPM provides the fire department with an updated chemical inventory on a monthly basis.

7. Measures for Compliance with Memorandum of Understanding with State Pesticide Regulatory Office: The only support agreement in effect is the DoD/Mississippi memorandum of agreement to allow DoD-certified applicators to operate at DoD facilities and allow appropriate Mississippi officials to enter premises to inspect pest-management facilities and activities.

8. IPM Operations with Special Environmental Considerations:

a. Operations Using Restricted-Use Pesticides: There are no restricted-use pesticides used by the IPM Section.

b. Operations with Potential to Contaminate Surface or Groundwater: IPM personnel do not apply pesticides where there is a potential to contaminate ground or surface water. Grounds maintenance contractor uses herbicides that are labeled aquatic safe. This includes: spraying ditch banks or bottoms, applying pesticides outdoors during inclement weather and where runoff cannot be controlled.

c. Operations Involving Environmentally-Sensitive Areas: No environmentally sensitive areas are designated on Columbus. Wetlands protections must be observed and are discussed under 7 b. above

d. Operations Involving Designated Noxious Weeds: Refer to 2.d., Weed Control.

CAFB. Has two species of noxious weeds (Cogon grass and Kudzu) to be controlled. Approved chemicals for control of invasive or noxious weeds will be used according to labels and monitored for success of control. Herbicides and quantity (PAI) will be recorded in IPMIS program for records.

e. Operations Involving Invasive Tree Species: Inspection on CAFB. by IPM and Forest Manager for control measures and herbicide treatment plans for invasive trees. Contracts for herbicides and quantity (PAI) will be approved by Base coordinator (IPMC) and MAJCOM PMC for environmental issues and base limits of Pounds of Active Ingredients. There are three species of invasive trees on CAFB. (Chinese Privet, Chinese Tallow and Aralia Spinoza).

9. Other IPM Plan Issues:

a. Contractors Chemical Usages: Contracts which use pesticides must go through proper channels before applications are made to keep base Pounds of Active Ingredients (PAI) within base limits. Columbus Air Force base PAI is 1481Lb.

(1) Approved by Installation IPM Coordinator (IPMC) and Operation Management / CEOS and MAJCOM PMC.

(2) Comply with DODI 4150.07, AFI 32-1053, AFPMB Technical Guides, and Federal, State and local laws.

b. Applicable Pollution-Abatement Procedures in IPM Shop: Drains in mixing and storage rooms and outdoor wash rack are plugged at all times. Floor of chemical- storage room is sloped to the center to facilitate containment of any spills. Wash rack has a berm to contain any spills.

Shop has a fully stocked spill cabinet and personnel are trained on spill cleanup procedures.

WHISPERING PINES GOLF COURSE PEST MANAGEMENT

PLAN

COLUMBUS AIR FORCE BASE MISSISSIPPI

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose:

a. This narrative provides a framework through which pest problems and procedures can be effectively addressed at the Whispering Pines Golf Course. Main elements of the installation’s pest management program, including health and environmental safety, pest identification, transportation, program management, pesticide use and disposal are defined within the main body of the installation Pest Management Plan.

b. The golf course’s pest management mission is to maintain an aesthetically pleasing course that offers an excellent playing surface for its customers.

c. Golf Course pest management is the only one component of the overall installation IPM Program. Golf Course operations are important inasmuch as DoD golf courses are typically significant users of pesticides on an installation.

d. Whispering Pines Golf Course has demonstrated success in many areas. Pesticide reduction, IPM innovations, cultural control practices, precision targeting, and establishment of threshold action levels are just a few successful innovations.

e. This plan will serve as a mechanism for continued successes and to ensure effective, economical, and environmentally acceptable Integrated Pest Management (IPM) while maintaining compliance with all pertinent laws and regulations.

2.0 RESPONSIBILITIES:

2.1 Golf Course Manager: Pam Wickham

a. Obtain contract for Pest Control and Application. Ensure contractor has pest management certification.

b. Maintain adequate records of IPM operations.

2.2 Golf Course Superintendent:

a. Provide technical information and report daily chemical (PAI) to the installation IPM Coordinator on pesticide use trends on the course.

b. Maintain records of daily pest scouting and pesticide applications. Consolidate records and reports monthly and provide that information before the 6th of the month to the Installation IPM Coordinator to report in the Base usage IPMIS program.

c. Monitor certification status of golf course pesticide applicators.

d. Serve as the single source point of contact for all golf course pest management issues.

e. Supervise all pesticide applications, set pest scouting schedules, and implement IPM procedures and manage the overall golf course pest management program.

2.3 Pest Management Personnel:

a. Use IPM Techniques to the maximum extent possible.

b. Control pest according to the provisions of this plan.

c. Operate in a manner that minimizes the risk of contamination to the environment and personnel accessing the course.

d. Ensure that supervisors are kept informed of changes in IPM requirements.

3.0 GENERAL:

3.1 Golf Course Description:

a. The course has a clubhouse, pro shop, snack bar, and associated facilities.

Maintenance facilities are separate of the clubhouse and consist of a pesticide storage building, office area, equipment maintenance/storage area, and cart storage area.

b. There is one 9-hole course. The course also has a putting and chipping green.

There is also a 9-hole Foot golf Course.

c. The course plays between 12,000-15,000 rounds per year.

3.2 Inventory of Land Use and Layout of Facilities:

a. There are five categories of land on the course: Greens, Tees, Fairways, Roughs, and Practice range.

Area Grass Type Acres Greens Mississippi Express 1.0 Tees Bermuda/419 1.0 Fairways Bermuda/419 20.0 Roughs Bermuda/Common 30.0

(1) Greens: Greens primarily consist of Mississippi Express. The greens on the course are intensely maintained and scouted daily for insect pest and diseases. There is no tolerance for insect or disease pests on the golf course greens.

(2) Tees and Fairways: Tees and fairways primarily consist of Bermuda grass, and are scouted daily throughout the growing season for insect pests and diseases.

(3) Roughs:…
