(a) The storage, handling, and mixing of agrichemicals and the cleaning of application equipment can constitute a pollution hazard to surface and ground water.

1. Land shaping, leveling, and filling to permit installing the system;

2. Formed concrete, reinforcing, sump, sealant, gravel for sub-base and access ramps;

3. Pumps, pipes, valves, and storage tanks permanently installed for use in the agrichemical facility;

4. Diversions, waterways, outlet structures, and similar measures to convey surface water away from the facility; and for fencing and vegetative cover including mulching;

5. Roof, including gutters and downspouts, and sidewalls to exclude precipitation from the facility; and for providing water and electric services from proximate locations.

(c) Cost-sharing is not authorized for the following:

1. Offsite disposal of rinsate and spillage; nor for remedial action to correct soil, water, or other resources affected by agrichemical spillage.

2. Agrichemical facilities that do not meet local or State regulations.

3. Non permanent interior wall partitions and enclosures, including insulation, ventilation, shelving, etc., for the storage of agrichemicals.
