(a) Any
state department, agency or institution considering the indoor or outdoor
application of a pesticide, as defined in Section
22a-47 of the general
statutes, shall consider using integrated pest management methods and
techniques before making any pesticide application. Assistance from the
University of Connecticut Cooperative Extension Service may be provided in

April 1, 1991, any state department, agency or institution which applies
pesticides or contracts for the application of pesticides shall adopt a pest
control management plan describing the pest control activities to be conducted
by the department, agency, institution and its agents. Any state department,
agency or institution which does not currently apply pesticides or contract for
their application and which therefore does not prepare a plan by April 1, 1991,
but which thereafter intends to apply or contract for the application of a
pesticide, shall prepare such a plan prior to any pesticide application. Pest
control management plans shall be revised by January 1 of each year to reflect
any changes in the pest control activities or intentions of the department,
agency or institution.

(1) the name and business address of the
state department, agency or institution preparing and implementing the
plan;

name, business address and telephone number of a contact person, employed by
the department, agency or institution, familiar with the objectives and
contents of the plan;
(4) a list
and description of integrated pest management options to be implemented by the
department, agency or institution;
(5) a list and description of integrated pest
management options rejected and the reasons for rejecting each
option;
(6) a list and description
of pesticide use programs to be implemented by the department, agency or
institution including but not limited to the following:
(A) the types and amounts of pesticide to be
used;
(B) the need for pesticide
use and purposes for which the pesticides are to be used;
(C) the locations to be treated and the
timing and frequency of pesticide application to each location;
(D) the name and business registration number
of any commercial pesticide application business that the department, agency or
institution plans to have perform pesticide applications for it;

state employees that will perform pesticide applications for the department,
agency or institution; and
(F) maps
identifying the location of any public water supply watershed or well field, as
delineated in the "Atlas of the Public Water Supply Sources and Drainage Basins
of Connecticut" published by the Department of Environmental Protection, within
which any pesticide applications may be made, and special considerations
regarding pesticide applications in those areas.
(d) The plan shall be reviewed and
approved by a designated representative of the head of the department, agency
or institution, retained by the department, agency or institution, and made
available for inspection upon request of a representative of the Department of
Environmental Protection.
(e) Any
state department, agency or institution that applies any pesticide or
implements an integrated pest management program shall maintain a record of its
pesticide applications and integrated pest management programs implemented.
These records shall be maintained for not less than five years after the date
of pesticide application and the implementation of an integrated pest
management program, and shall include:
(1) A
description of each integrated pest management method implemented;
(2) the reason for not using integrated pest
management methods if none was used;
(3) the purpose of each pesticide application
and a description of each pesticide application including but not limited to:
