Mich. Admin. Code R. 285.640.14 - Storage of bulk dry pesticides
Rule 14.
(1) Dry
pesticide materials shall be stored in storage containers that are effectively
designed and constructed to hold bulk dry pesticide and shall be compatible
with the stored pesticide. Storage containers shall be constructed of materials
that are resistant to corrosion, puncture, and cracking and shall be maintained
in a good state of repair.
(2) Bulk
dry pesticide storage containers that are held outdoors shall be placed on
pallets or on a raised concrete platform that is drained to prevent the
accumulation of water in or under the pesticide.
(3) Except during loading or unloading,
stored bulk dry pesticide shall be covered by a roof or tarpaulin to keep
precipitation off the pesticide.
(4) All loading, unloading, mixing, and
handling of dry pesticide at the storage facility shall be conducted on a paved
impermeable surface of a size and design that will contain the pesticide and
allow for the collection of spilled material to be recycled, applied at labeled
rates, or disposed of in a manner approved by the department.
(5) Storage facilities shall be secured
against the entry of unauthorized persons or wildlife.
(6) Full compliance with the provisions of
this rule is required 90 days after the effective date of this rule.
