their habitats:

it is illegal to kill or harm and endangered or threatened species, it is also
illegal to destroy or modify critical habitats on which they depend
,Non-RUPs

include all the pesticides other than RUPs, including general use and
unclassified pesticides, organic pesticides, and EPA's 25(b) minimum risk
pesticides. Non-RUPs are available for use by the general public
List MN legal requirements for chemigation:
Give this one a try later!
1. owners & operators of any chemigation system in MN must have a MDA
Chemigation Permit
2. installing several safety anti-pollution & backflow safeguard devices
3. posting chemigated treated areas
4. following setbacks & containment requirements for the chemigation
system components to protect wells and other water sources
5. keeping records of pesticides & fertilizers applied through irrigation
systems
6. implementing several other management measures
Describe the best time to rinse pesticide containers:
Give this one a try later!
rinse at the time that they are emptied (generally removes the most
pesticide residues, prevents hardening of residues, and eliminates small
spills and leakage from discarded containers)
, Describe who needs to hold a chemigation permit:
Give this one a try later!
- MN requires ALL OPERATORS who will be applying pesticides through
irrigation systems to obtain a Chemigation Permit
- MN defines chemigation 'operators' of chemigation systems as the 'legal
entity' (person(s), including any employee or family member involved in a
joint operation in which revenues and expenses are shared) that will
operate the chemigation system
List the types of backflow prevention devices approved for use in MN:
Give this one a try later!
1. creating/using and air gap: a physical separation/gap between the water
source and the rim of the tank/container you are filling
2. using a Reduced Pressure Principle Device (RPP or RPZ): consists of 2
independent check valves in the water supply line, with an automatic
pressure differential valve located b/n the 2 valves
3. using a Pressurized Vacuum Breaker (PVB): stops backflow when the
water line is under continuous water pressure and when water line
pressure is lost (the most common place to install it is at an elbow in a
vertical position of the water supply)
4. using an Atmospheric Vacuum Breaker (AVB): lets air from the
atmosphere into the water line to break the backflow siphon in the event
of pressure loss in the water line (an AVB must be installed at least 6 inches
above the overflow level of the equipment being filled)
