14.
Hazard Area . Cities, towns,
subdivisions, schools, hospitals, or densely populated areas.
(3-15-22)
15.
High Volatile
Esters. Formulations of 2,4-D which contain methyl, ethyl, butyl,
isopropyl, octylamyl and pentyl esters. (3-15-22)
16.
Injection Pump . A pump that
uses a gear, rotary, piston or diaphragm to develop the pressures exceeding the
irrigation system pressure to inject a chemical. (3-15-22)
17.
Inspection Port . An orifice
or other viewing device from which the low pressure drain and check valve may
be observed. (3-15-22)
18.
Limited Supervision . Pertains to the supervision of a currently licensed
pesticide applicator who holds the Commercial Apprentice (CA) category. The
Supervising Applicator will be currently licensed in the same category
necessary for the pesticide application, and is limited to supervising a
maximum of two Commercial Apprentice applicators and must maintain immediate
communications (voice, radio, cellular telephone, or similar) with the
supervised applicators for the duration of all pesticide applications.
(3-15-22)
19.
Low Volatile
Esters. Formulations of 2,4-D; 2,4-DP; MCPA and MCPB which contain
butoxyethanol, propylene glycol, tetrahydrofurfuryl, propylene glycol butyl
ether, butoxy propyl, ethylhexyl and isoctyl esters. (3-15-22)
20.
Mixer-Loader . Any person who
works under the supervision of a professional applicator in the mixing and
loading of pesticides to prepare for, but not actually make, applications.
(3-15-22)
21.
On-Site
Supervision. Pertains to the application of Restricted Use Pesticides
(RUP): On-Site Supervision of an unlicensed pesticide applicator or a pesticide
applicator who does not hold an appropriate category for the RUP being applied.
Supervising pesticide applicator must be physically at the site of application,
must have visual contact with the pesticide applicator, and must be in a
position to direct the actions of the pesticide applicator. The supervising
applicator may not supervise more than two pesticide applicators.
(3-15-22)
22.
Pesticide
Drift. Movement of pesticide dust or droplets through the air at the
time of application or soon after, to any site other than the area intended.
(3-15-22)
23.
Pressure
Switch. A device which will stop the chemical injection pump when the
water pressure decreases to the point where chemical distribution is adversely
affected. (3-15-22)
24.
Recertification . The requalification of a certified person through
seminar attendance over a set period of time, or taking an examination at the
end of a set period of time, to ensure that the person continues to meet the
requirements of changing technology and maintains competence.
(3-15-22)
25.
Reduced
Pressure Principle Backflow Prevention Assembly (RP). An assembly
containing two (2) independently acting approved check valves together with a
hydraulically operating, mechanically independent pressure differential relief
valve located between the check valves and at the same time below the first
check valve . The unit shall include properly located resilient seated test
cocks and tightly closing resilient seated test cocks and tightly closing
resilient seated shutoff valves at each end of the assembly.
(3-15-22)
26.
Seminar .
Any Department-approved meeting or activity convened for the purpose of
presenting pesticide recertification information. (3-15-22)
27.
Sprinkler Irrigation . Method
of irrigation in which the water is sprayed, or sprinkled, through the air to
the ground surface. (3-15-22)
28.
System Interlock . Safety equipment used to ensure that a chemical
injection pump will stop if the irrigation pumping plant stops to prevent the
entire chemical mixture from emptying from the supply tank into the irrigation
pipeline. The safety equipment may also be used to shut down the irrigation
system if the injection system fails. (3-15-22)
29.
Vacuum Relief Valve . A
device to automatically relieve or break a vacuum. (3-15-22)
30.
Venturi . A differential
pressure injector that operates on a pressure difference between the inlet and
outlet of the injector and creates a vacuum inside the body, which results in
suction through the suction port. (3-15-22)
31.
Venturi Injection System. A
chemical injection system which operates with a Venturi using the suction from
the Venturi that can be used to inject and mix chemicals into the water.
(3-15-22)
