SARASOTA COUNTY INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT PROCEDURAL GUIDELINES

Effective June 22. 2015

1. Subject:

Integrated Pest Management (1PM) is a practice promoting sustainable pest management methods that minimize health, environmental and economic risks. It is an approach that uses a combination of techniques to suppress pest populations (e.g., weeds, insects, diseases, etc.). All necessary techniques are consolidated in a unified program so that pests are kept at acceptable levels in an effective and economical manner that is not detrimental to human health and the environment.

A viable 1PM program requires the adoption of a sustainable chemicals management policy. This policy should be based on the principle of substitution as the primary criteria for chemical management within Sarasota County's 1PM program. With the principle of substitution as a framework, the promotion of safer chemicals in processes will be implemented with county and contractor sectors within the Sarasota County Government managed areas and the use of safer chemicals in products should be incorporated at the design stage.

The principle of substitution states that hazardous chemicals should be systemically substituted by less hazardous alternatives or preferably alternatives for which no hazards can be identified. The Sarasota County 1PM program will assiduously apply this principle as we review our approved chemical list each year.

2. Authority:

Sarasota County Board of County Commissioners Resolution No. 2005-110 confirms the continued adoption of Integrated Pest Management as the county's standard pest management practice and maintains the Integrated Pest Management Advisory Board. This document is in accordance with Resolution number 02-119, Sustainable Stewardship, and Section 2-228, Environmentally Preferred Procurement, of the Sarasota County Procurement Code Ordinance Number 2014-095.

3. Purpose:

This document provides guidelines for all levels of the county involved in activities related to the management of pests and undesirable vegetation, including contractual services, and sets forth procedures in accordance with the Integrated Pest Management Resolution No. 2005-110.

4. Policy:

It is the goal of Sarasota County Government to reduce the risk to human health and the environment by minimizing the use of pesticides through application of integrated pest management practices and emphasizing proven, effective least-toxic and non-toxic approaches and products in County practices.

4.1 The 1PM Program:

The aim of the program is to suppress pests and undesirable vegetation with minimum impact on human health, the environment, and non-target organisms. The success of the program depends on adherence to the 1PM Protocol listed below in 4.2. 1PM is not a single chemical approach or strategy but a decision making process that involves a combination of practices to control problems. Control tactics can be cultural or biological.

For example: adopting environmental landscape management (ELM) practices that include appropriate plant selection and use of good cultural practices, appropriate use of design and materials to prevent pest problems, proper housekeeping and maintenance to minimize indoor pest problems, expanded larvicide enhancement areas to prevent mosquito production, and increased education of the public on 1PM practices and potential effects of pesticides on health and the environment. Where chemical control strategies are required, they will use only those pest management products on the approved list of products and attempt to tier strategies. 1PM requires more information, thought and team planning than ordinary, single approach management strategies, but the outcome is a healthier community and environment. All county personnel and contractors will adhere to the Protocol in section 4.2 below.

4.2 The 1PM Protocol:

a. IDENTIFICATION and SCOUTING - Identify the type of pest or undesirable vegetation problem by scouting and inspection. Understand pest biology.

b. MONITORING - Determine the extent of injury or problem levels (set thresholds); Use visual inspection or monitoring devices. Keep records.

c. ANALYSIS - Based on findings in I or 2, determine best response: options of take no action, continue monitoring (collect more data) or act to address pest.

d. REVIEW CONTROL OPTIONS - Review available cultural, mechanical, biological, as well as chemical control options.

e. SELECT CONTROL TACTICS - Select the most environmentally sound and economically viable treatment strategies to suppress the pest problem. Least-toxic methods must be used before more toxic ones.

f. USE APPROVED PESTICIDES - Use only products that are on Sarasota County's list of approved pesticides. (See appendix A)

g. EVALUATE RESULTS -After implementation of control measures, evaluate to determine if action taken has been effective in pest reduction and is cost effective.

h. RECORD KEEPING - Record all pesticides used, rates used, amounts applied and sites of application. Labels and MSDS sheets must be available and maintained at all times with the applicator and in all facilities where materials are stored.

5. 1PM Coordinator responsibilities:

a. Chair the 1PM Working Group and assist county departments in implementing the 1PM Policies and Procedures

b. Provide staff support to the Integrated Pest Management Advisory Board

c. Provide support for educational programs on 1PM activities

d. Update 1PM policy and procedures as required.

e. In consultation with the 1PM Advisory Board, develop a list of acceptable pest management products in accordance with the 1PM approach and review and update the list annually. The County Administrator has designated the Director of Health and Human Services to be the final arbitrator when the 1PM Advisory Board, by majority vote of the members, disagrees with the decision of the 1PM Coordinator on acceptable pest management products.

f. Have readily available all labels and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for pesticides being used by county staff and vendors.

g. Conduct annual evaluations of the 1PM programs to ensure that this policy is carried out. Review monthly inventory and usage pesticide reports submitted by business centers units to monitor compliance and evaluate the 1PM program.

h. Assist county departments business units in complying with regulations involving pest management and pesticide application [e.g. DACS certifications, NPDES, etc.], (See Applicator Responsibilities below).

6. Department responsibilities:

a. Develop an 1PM plan for the unit [see section 9 for requirements]. This plan should be updated as needed and reviewed annually at a minimum.

b. Establish 1PM performance measures to reduce the use of chemical pesticides and increase monitoring. Have a designated member attend 1PM Working Group Meetings. Assist the county 1PM Coordinator and 1PM Advisory Board in developing policy recommendations.

c. Provide for continuing education and certification training of applicator staff. Assistance will be provided by Cooperative Extension personnel and other qualified people in the county or state.

d. Modify job descriptions to assure that training and educational requirements for applicator personnel comply with state regulations pertaining to the control of vegetation and pests and the use of pesticides.

e. Prohibit the purchase or use of unapproved pesticides. Any special need to use other than approved list pesticides must be approved by the 1PM Coordinator in consultation with the 1PM Advisory Board. Units must submit a request form and gain written approval to have a product added to the list (See Form, Appendix 8).

f. Assist the 1PM Coordinator with program assessment by ensuring that monthly inventory and usage pesticide reports used are forwarded to the 1PM Coordinator for review by the 15th of following month.

g. Require that each employee assigned to handle pesticides is adequately trained in pesticide safety and correct pesticide handling procedures before they are allowed to handle pesticides.

h. Submit all annual agreements that may contain or require the application of pesticides to the 1PM Coordinator and 1PM Advisory Board at least 30 days before going out to bid. Establish a monitoring program for all agreements and evaluate contractor programs to assure compliance with 1PM principles and desired outcomes.

i. Require that all full-time employees and vendors have appropriate state certifications. If a pesticide must be mixed before application, the applicator must be certified or be a carded employee under the direct supervision of a certified person. Ready-to-use pesticides on the approved list do not require applicator certification for projects requiring 5 gallons or less.

j . Prohibit hand-held application of herbicides from windows of vehicles to control of weeds on sidewalks and other impervious surfaces along streets and roads.

k. Ensure that pesticides are properly maintained and stored. Pesticides must be in an appropriate building that contains spill cleanup equipment and written emergency spill response procedures, along with the names of the primary and secondary persons responsible for the storage facility.

7. County Applicator Responsibilities:

a. No pest management treatments are to be conducted unless the problem has been identified and scouted. Monitoring is one of the most important components of 1PM.

b. Use least toxic pesticides only when other control methods would not be or have not been effective or practical in maintaining the established level of service. Select effective pesticides from the approved list that are the least toxic, effective products available in order to minimize risk to the applicator as well as other people and non-target organisms.

c. Avoid disruption of natural enemies by becoming familiar with beneficial organisms. Consult the 1PM Coordinator or use available charts and literature to evaluate impact of control strategies and their toxicity to specific natural enemies.

d. Pesticide efficacy can vary from one pest to another, one location to another, and even from one year to the next in the same location. It is essential when pesticides have to be used to select the correct materials based upon their least toxic impact and efficacy. Record keeping will be used to support selections.

e. Control insect pests during the most vulnerable point in their life cycle or growth period. The same holds true for undesirable vegetation. Young, actively growing weeds are usually the easiest to control or remove. Control weeds before they produce seeds.

f. Follow the label to determine the rate and method of application. The control action chosen must focus on the site of the problem so that only areas that need to be treated are targeted. Proper application will maximize effectiveness and minimize effects on beneficial organisms.

g. Liquid sprays must not be applied when winds exceed ten miles per hour so as to minimize any undesirable drift.

h. Applicators must use the minimum personal protective equipment (PPE) required by the label or comply with business center policy if it holds a higher standard.

i. Observe action thresholds of pest levels, if available, to determine when numbers or situations pose a problem. Maintain records of numbers or kinds of problems to track occurrence and evaluate actions taken. A yearly report on findings should be presented at an 1PM Working Group meeting.

j. Adhere to the following pesticide procedures:

Public notification of pesticide applications (according to each business center's operations for specific pests).

Proper application techniques Knowledge and actions to follow in the event of a pesticide spill Proper pesticide storage procedures Cleaning and calibration of equipment procedures Storage and disposal of pesticide containers Scouting and record keeping Strict compliance with each EPA label's personal protection equipment (PPE) requirements Maintenance of up-to-date records of pesticide purchased, amounts used and balance on hand

8. Pest Management Contract Managers' and Contractors' responsibilities: All county contracts will include the 1PM process listed above in section 7. The contract manager will monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the 1PM practice and compliance with 1PM principles. Additionally, the contract manager will evaluate applications to assess effectiveness of pest management approaches consistent with desired outcomes. Lastly contract manager shall give prior notice to individual's residents on mitigation activities that are on the State and County chemically registered list.

a. Contract managers will obtain record of contractor's FDACS certification carrying the appropriate category for desired pest management activity.

b. Contracts must stipulate the responsibility of the contract manager and contractor in carrying out inspections.

c. Contracts will contain a list of approved products. Any deviation from this list must be approved by the contract manager in consultation with the 1PM Coordinator as described above in section Se.

d. Contractors responsible for applying pesticides will adhere to all FDACS regulations regarding proper pesticide applicator licensing of staff.

e. County contract managers may require greater level of licensing or license oversight than required by the State dependent on specific project needs or environmental sensitivity of areas being maintained or modified under the contract.

9. Development of Integrated Pest Management Plans: All departments are required to refer to the steps in the 1PM process (section 4.2) in developing a written 1PM plan. Each individual plan will include the following:

a. Describe in detail the area of pest management responsibility and maintenance (number of acres of canals, ponds, roadsides, athletic fields, parks, natural areas, buildings, bedding plants, street trees, etc.).

b. Identify the pests or undesirable vegetation problems. Describe several examples for unit's common pest management activities including monitoring, threshold levels, and specific control strategies (Le. mechanical, chemical control).

c. Describe scouting and inspection procedures.

d. Describe control options, including cultural, mechanical, biological as well as chemical (selected from the approved list).

e. Include samples of record keeping forms.

f. Current list personnel involved by position description and required FDACS certifications (e.g.

limited, restricted, public health, etc.).

g. Location of any pesticide storage facility. Description of storage area with location of MSDS, on site PPE, eye wash stations, and skill kits. If necessary, describe products and approximate amounts to be reported to State Emergency Response Commission for Tier II Emergency and Hazardous Chemical Inventory reports.

10. Selected Areas of Concern:

a. Pesticide applications in or near water:

• Use the 1PM Protocol in 4.2 to minimize pesticide applications with special consideration to methods that reduce need for and utilize least toxic options.

• Consider non-chemical means of control when and where practical and effective for aquatic plant management activities.

• Comply with regulations and follow BMPs involving pest management and pesticide application [e.g. NPDES, etc.].

• Coordination with newly initiated programs to reduce pesticide impacts and development of 1PM protocols for these areas with an initial focus on LID programs (biorention/bioswales).

Success of the program will result in a reduction of pesticide application and costs while improving water quality and ground water recharge. These initiatives will require the monitoring during all phases.

b. Roadside vegetation management: Consider non-chemical means of control when and where practical and effective.

c. Contractual management of county building landscapes: The environmental landscape management requirements are as stated in the grounds maintenance contract.

d. Building construction: The construction, renovation or expansion of any county building shall require:

• Appropriate design to exclude pests such as rats, birds, etc. Use design and construction techniques that prevent future infestations of rodents, birds, bats, insects and other creatures that can move into a structure causing structural, health or comfort problems. This exclusion process will include sealing all penetrations into a structure including mesh wire over vents, closing abandoned plumbing and roof drain pipe, caulking windows, doors and utility penetrations and any other openings that will allow entry to unwanted insects and animals. In situations where an open vehicle bay or work area is attached to a controlled interior space, all attempt should be make to isolate the two.

• Wood Destroying Organisms (WDO's): Termite prevention by utilizing in-ground bait stations, borate saturation treatment of above-ground wood materials or non-chemical exclusion methods should be the preferred 1PM strategy. Subterranean termites are only one of several WOO that can infest a structure and cause serious damage. Bait stations and under-slab treatments only address one form of WDOs and offer a limited control rather than a more holistic approach. For that reason borate-pretreatments are preferred. Borates are practically non-toxic but highly effective. When borate products are targeted to the exposed, unpainted wood surfaces it offers long term, residual protection against all forms of termites, other wood borers and to a degree wood rot. Moreover, borated woods reduce potential for mold-related health issues. Barrier treatments are not allowed without a special exception for I PM coordinator. These types of applications are typically more toxic with higher probability for migration off site, non-target effects, and movement into ground water while generally being less effective long term.

e. Building maintenance shall include:

• Proper housekeeping and storage to avoid attracting pests.

• Indoor use of least toxic alternatives only, including traps, bait stations, gels, dusts or other approved pesticides to address pest problems that arise.

• Indoor pest management will not include chemical spray applications.

11. Approved Pesticides:

Appendix A is the approved list of pesticides for use in Sarasota County Government. County personnel and contractors involved in the application of pesticides must only use products on the approved list.

Use of products other than those on this list is prohibited on any county-owned property or facilities.

Products to be added to the list must be recommended to and approved by the 1PM Coordinator in consultation with the 1PM Advisory Board.

12. Prohibited Pesticides: The categories and/or products listed below are prohibited or restricted for use within the County.

a. Prohibited products include:

• All Organochlorine insecticides

• Organophosphate insecticides (except those currently used by the Mosquito

Control District)

• Atrazine

• Copper Crystals (limited to specific sewer applications i.e. clay pipes with root blockage etc.)

b. Restricted Products include:

• Fipronil (restricted use on turf and athletic fields)

13. Updates This document is to be considered a "living" document and along with its companion Appendix A are subject to change and will be revised as advances are made in the mitigation and changes in the target pest and or situations arise.

County personnel and contractors involved in the application of pesticides must only use products on the approved list in the approved target area. Use of products other than those on this list is prohibited on any county-owned property or facilities. Products for inclusion in the IPM program must be submitted to and approved by the IPM Coordinator in consultation with the IPM Advisory Board. Chemicals in red text are "restricted use pesticides" (RUPs).

Note on biological controls and "bio-rational" pesticides.

The release of any biological control organisms approved by the US Federal government (e.g. APHIS)/State of Florida is permitted under the county 1PM plan. Please notify the IPM coordinator before release.

"Bio-rational" pesticides are favored over traditional chemical control and permitted under the IPM plan. County employees are encouraged to seek these out first and notify the IPM coordinator who will then determine if they qualify as "bio-rational".

County employees are also encouraged to document usage and efficacy of these substances.
