Monterey County 1,3-D Permit Conditions

2016 Monterey County 1,3-Dichloropropene Permit Conditions
(Only for 1,3-D products that do not contain chloropicrin)
General Conditions
1,3-D is prohibited for use in a greenhouse
Throughout this document, whenever the pronoun “you” or “your” is used, it refers to the
operator of the property to be fumigated who is the fumigant use permit holder.
If you employ a Pest Control Business (PCB) to apply this product for you, you and the PCB
are both responsible to comply with the permit conditions and regulations. Failure to comply
with these conditions may result in a fine to you and/or or the PCB, depending on the
circumstances of the violation.
When a school property is within 1/8 mile (660 feet) of a fumigation block, the injection
must be completed 36 hours prior to the start of a school session. School sessions are those
times when students are attending scheduled classes.
The map submitted with the permit application must show the location of all wells used for
drinking water within 100 feet of the intended application block(s).
Shank and drip injections must start after 5:00 a.m. and conclude by 5:00 p.m.
Occupied Structures:
Application of a product containing 1,3-D is prohibited within 100 feet of any occupied
structure, measured from the perimeter of the application block to any occupied residences,
occupied onsite employee housing, schools, convalescent homes, hospitals, or other similar
sites identified by the CAC. If a structure is within 100 feet of the application block, no
person shall be present at this structure at any time during the application and during the
seven consecutive day period after the application is complete. This restriction applies even
on soils that have not experienced a 1,3-D treatment in the previous two years.
“Structure” includes residences, onsite employee housing, schools, convalescent homes,
hospitals, businesses, buildings used for storage (barns, sheds, garages) and other similar
sites identified by the commissioner.
Vacating Agreements:
If an occupant of a structure agrees to vacate during the fumigation and throughout the seven
consecutive day period after the application is complete, they must complete and sign a
Monterey County Vacating Agreement for 1,3-D.
When an occupant of a structure has agreed to vacate and has provided you with the signed
Vacating Agreement, you must then give that occupant written notification at least 48 hours

before the fumigation, of the specific date and time of the start of the fumigation and the
anticipated expiration of the buffer zone. (See Monterey County Notice to Vacate Per
Vacating Agreement Form)
Notices of Intent (NOI):
NOIs must be submitted at least 48 hours before the start of the fumigation*. No waivers of
the 48 hour NOI requirement will be granted. *For any applications within ¼ mile (1320
feet) of a Pajaro Valley School District school or North Monterey County School District
school, the NOI must be submitted 72 hours before the start of the intended application.
You must provide a valid recommendation from a registrant-authorized pest control adviser
before the NOI is accepted and the application allowed.
In addition to the information required in 3 CCR section 6434, the following information
shall be included on or provided with the NOI:


alter or change the information on the NOI.
When an NOI is re-submitted because of a change, rescheduling, or to finish a job, the 48
hour waiting period will be waived provided there are no vacating agreements associated
with the application, and the applicator re-submits the NOI prior to commencing the
fumigation. The re-submitted NOI must clearly indicate that it is a re-intent.
If there are vacating agreements associated with the fumigation, the 48 hour waiting period
will not be waived unless all notifications to affected persons have been updated.
Chemigation System (Telone EC)
You, or your representative, who is knowledgeable of the irrigation system, must be present
at the treatment site from the start of the application until the application is complete (drip
lines are purged). Your representative must be trained and equipped as a pesticide handler.
If a drip application is proposed, the chemigation equipment (check valve, low pressure
drain, and vacuum relief) that is required at the well head must be installed before the NOI is
submitted.
If there is more than one injection site for the fumigant during a drip application, each
injection site must be continuously monitored by an applicator for the PCB.
All row end drip tape connections must be covered by the same type of tarp that is covering
the beds, or by two inches of soil.
Entry into Application Block
Entry into the application block (including early entry that would otherwise be permitted by
the Worker Protection Standard) by any person, other than a government official mandated to
regulate pesticide use or a properly trained and equipped handler who is performing a
handling task permitted by the product labeling, is prohibited from the start of the application
until 7 days (168 hours) after the application is complete.

Determining
the
application
factor (AF)
The application factor (AF) is a predetermined numerical value based on the
month, depth of injection, and geographic location of the specific application.
The AF values are used in the formula to determine the ATP used during the
application. Use Table 1 below to determine the AF:

rates –
maximum
gallons per acre
(M gal/A)
To determine the maximum number of gallons per acre of pesticide
formulation (M gal/A):
The gal/A = lbs./A divided by lbs./gal
Divide lbs./A (332) by lbs./gal
 Convert percentage of 1,3-D to a decimal (divide XX% by 100 = .XX);
 To find lbs./gal, multiply lbs./gal x .XX = lbs./gal
 With or without a tarpaulin, divide 332 by lbs./gal = gal/A
Because percentages of a.i. differ in various 1,3-D products, the procedures
below describe a method to ensure that the maximum rate and township limit
is not exceeded. Additionally, this procedure takes into account percentages
of 1,3-D a.i. within different formulated products, allowing more gallons per
acre (gal/A) when the product has a lower percentage of 1,3-D or less gal/A if
the product has a higher percentage of 1,3-D. The formula follows:
1. The gal/A of pesticide formulation shall be based on the number of
pounds per acre (lbs./A) of 1,3-D a.i.
a) The maximum allowable amount of 1,3-D shall be 332 lbs./A a.i.
b) See pesticide labeling for detailed rate recommendations and rate
calculation instructions.
2. Use the following information to calculate the gal/A allowed for each
application:
a) The pounds per gallon (lbs./gal) for the pesticide formulation
b) The percentage by weight of 1,3-D (XX%) in the pesticide
formulation, expressed as a decimal (.XX)
c) The pounds of 1,3-D per gallon (1,3-D/gal) for the pesticide
formulation
d) The maximum lbs./A for the application (332)
Maximum application rates cannot exceed labeling maximum rates.

Calculating the
ATP
The Adjusted Total Pounds (ATP) for each application shall be calculated
based on the following:
1. The total gallons (TG) of the pesticide formulation
2. The lbs./gal for the pesticide formulation
3. The percent by weight (XX%) of 1,3-D in the pesticide formulation,
expressed as a decimal (.XX)*
4. The total pounds (TP) of 1,3-D**
5. The application factor (AF) as determined from Table 1.
The ATP for each application shall be calculated using the following formula:
TG x lbs./gal x (.XX) x AF = ATP
*To convert the 1,3-D percentage by weight (XX%) to a decimal, divide
XX% by 100 = .XX
**To
find the TP, multiply, TG x lbs./gal x (.XX) = TP
 To find the ATP, multiply, TP x AF = ATP

Drip irrigation applications on soil surface or buried drip application shall use
an application factor (AF) of 1.16, regardless of depth.
Calculating the
ATP
The adjusted total pounds (ATP) for each application shall be calculated
based on the following:
Application Time and Area
 Generally, applications are allowed statewide during the entire year.
However, applications shall not occur in the San Joaquin Valley ozone
nonattainment area during January and December of each calendar year.
1. The total gallons (TG) of the pesticide formulation
2. The pounds per gallon (lbs./gal) for the pesticide formulation
3. The percent by weight (XX%) of 1,3-D in the pesticide formulation,
expressed as a decimal (.XX)*
4. The total pounds (TP) of 1,3-D**
5. The application factor (1.16 AF)
The ATP for each application shall be calculated using the following formula:
TG x lbs./gal x (.XX) x 1.16 AF
*Convert 1,3-D percentage by weight (XX%) to a decimal, divide XX% by
100 = .XX
**To find the TP, multiply, TG x lbs./gal x (.XX) = TP
 To find the ATP, multiply, TP x 1.16 AF = ATP
