Soil Fumigant Fact Sheet Compilation

These cover information about buffer zones and the sign posting requirements, fumigant management plans, certified pesticide applicators and handlers, and resources for tribal and state lead agencies (SLAs) and residents of agricultural communities.

Safety Information for Handlers of Pesticide Soil Fumigants

Certified applicators are required to provide this training to handlers in an application block or buffer zone. Information must include signs and symptoms of exposure, and where to find the Fumigant Management Plan and Worker Protection Standard.

Presentations on Fumigant Requirements

These provide training, outreach, and other resource materials for applicators and handlers, communities, state and local agencies, and others interested in understanding and implementing the current requirements for safe use of soil fumigant pesticides.

Fact Sheet on Measures Required to Protect Workers from Fumigant Exposures

These safety measures increase protections for fumigant handlers and other agricultural workers and bystanders from exposure to the soil fumigant pesticides chloropicrin, dazomet, metam sodium, metam potassium, and methyl bromide.

Dimethyl Disulfide (DMDS) Fumigant Management Plan Template Phase 2

These templates provide a framework for developing your FMP, including sections on your supervising pesticide applicator, buffer zones, emergency response plan, handler information, tarp plan, soil conditions, signage, and air monitoring plan.

Buffer Zone Fact Sheets

New requirements for buffer zones and sign posting contribute to soil fumigant mitigation and protection for workers and bystanders. The buffer provides distance between the pesticide application site and bystanders, reducing exposure risk.

Chloropicrin Fumigant Management Plan Phase 2 Templates

These forms provide a framework for detailing the FMP elements of pesticide products containing the active ingredient chloropicrin, including application block, buffer zones, emergency response plan, tarp plan, soil conditions, and air monitoring.

Chloropicrin and 1,3-D Fumigant Management Plan Phase 2 Templates

Plans for soil fumigant pesticide products that contain chloropicrin or 1,3-dichloropropene should include application block information, tarp plan, sign posting for treated area and buffer zone, and other requirements.

Dazomet Fumigant Management Plan Phase 2 Templates

These templates provide a framework for reporting application block information, buffer zones, emergency response plan, tarp plan, soil conditions, air monitoring, and more for pesticide products containing the active ingredient dazomet, such as Basamid G.

Film Permeability Determination Using Static Permeability Cells

The permeability of tarps to soil fumigant pesticides varies depending on the active ingredient chemical: dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), methyl bromide, chloropicrin, or other. The diffusion rate can be represented by the mass transfer coefficient (MTC).

Pesticide Registration Manual: Title Page For a Newly Submitted Study

Certain information should be included on the title page of a study submitted to EPA in support of pesticide registration. See a template for these elements.

Spot-On Enhanced Reporting Pilot Presentation

EPA presented a webinar on the pilot program for enhanced incident reporting for spot-on flea and tick products. This presentation will help you learn more about this program.

CRP - VD Tube & Closure - Unit Non-Reclosable Packaging Rigid

This is a unit-dose non-reclosable rigid package. The package consists of a tube and a closure that is permanently attached to the tube neck. The package is opened by pushing down on the closure and simultaneously turning it counterclockwise.

Pesticide Registration Manual: Chapter 19 - How to Obtain Publications

This chapter provides information on how and where to obtain publications.

Tier I Rice Model - Version 1.0 - Guidance for Estimating Pesticide Concentrations in Rice Paddies

Describes a Tier I Rice Model (Version 1.0) for estimating surface water exposure from the use of pesticides in rice paddies. The concentration calculated can be used for aquatic ecological risk and drinking water exposure assessments.

Pesticide Registration Manual: Chapter 8 - Inert Ingredients

This chapter describes how EPA reviews inert ingredients as part of the pesticide product review process.

Instructions and Form for Hazardous Waste Generators, Transporters and Treatment, Storage and Disposal Facilities to Obtain an EPA Identification Number (EPA Form 8700-12/Site Identification Form)

This booklet is designed to help you determine if you are subject to requirements under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) for notifying the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of your regulated waste activities.

Biennial Hazardous Waste Report

Federal regulations require large quantity generators to submit a report (EPA form 8700-13A/B) every two years regarding the nature, quantities and disposition of hazardous waste generated at their facility.

Public Notification - Drinking Water System Pressure Loss Boil Advisory Template

Template for Public Water System (PWS) to prepare a boil water advisory for loss of pressure in the distribution system

Resource Document and Supporting Technical Information for States Developing Maintenance Plans for the 1997 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS)

This page contains the fact sheets for two separate regulations dealing with the nonattainment actions of the 1997 ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS).
