General
§ 650.121 Purpose.
§ 650.122 Goal and objectives.
§ 650.123 Explanation of terms.
§ 650.124 Policies.
§ 650.125 Responsibilities.
Pesticide Management Program
§ 650.126 Implementing guidelines.
(a) DA will procure and use only those pesticides approved by and pursuant to FIFRA. Use of a pesticide other than those registered and approved for specific application in accordance with their labeling is illegal under FIFRA.
(b) Some pesticides are on the EPA list of toxic pollutants for which water effluent standards are being developed. The list includes, but is not limited to substances such as aldrin, dieldrin, cadmium and all cadmium compounds, cyanide and all cyanide compounds, DDD (TDE), DDE, DDT, endrin, mercury and all mercury compounds, toxaphene (chlorinated camphene) mirex, chlordane, heptachlor, and Kepone. If the registration of any pesticides has been suspended or finally cancelled by EPA, DA organizations will only use such pesticides in accordance with the EPA suspension or cancellation orders. MACOM professional pest management personnel, DAEN-FEB and DAEN-ZCE will be contacted for suspended or cancelled pesticide information.
(c) The concentration of pesticide residue contained in waste water discharges should not exceed the levels specified by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit issued to an installation.
(d) The storage, use, handling, and disposal of pesticides will conform to safety and health standards established by HQDA based on regulations published in the
§ 650.127 Procedures.
(a) The following requirements are applicable to pesticides in the two EPA rating system classes, highly toxic and moderately toxic (Toxicity categories I and II respectively) 39 FR 15237. Pesticides and used pesticide containers will be stored in a secure, dry, ventilated, single purpose, fire resistive room, building, or covered area. Pesticide formulations will be stored separately, inventoried semiannually and identified with warning signs in accordance with the EPA toxicity rating and Department of Transportation warning systems for pesticide labeling, and checked bimonthly for corrosion and leaks (39 FR 15235–15241). Large quantities of excess pesticides and used pesticide containers awaiting disposal will be stored in a secure and separate area and will be checked bimonthly for corrosion and leaks. Where applicable, the outside of each storage area will be labeled with appropriate “DANGER,” “POISON,” “PESTICIDE STORAGE” signs and local fire department hazard signal signs.
(1) Emergency detoxification and decontamination equipment, sink and showers, eye lavage, protective clothing, and rubber gloves will be provided pesticide handlers in accordance with AR 420–74, AR 420–76, and AR 385–32.
(2) A viable accident prevention and environmental protection program will be maintained within the installation pest control service areas. Signs will be posted within the pesticide storage area indicating the type and common name of the pesticides being stored.
(3) A complete inventory of pesticides on hand will be maintained by the pesticide control services personnel indicating the number and identity of containers stored.
(b) Pesticide application and other insect and rodent control will be accomplished by or under the direct and continuing supervision of a trained and certified applicator (AR 420–74 and AR420–76). SOP's will be prepared by installation pesticide users on the application of pesticides. These SOPs will be reviewed by the appropriate MACOM engineer and/or medical entomologist, or agronomist (for herbicide application). MACOM's may delegate authority to installation level when adequate professional capability exists at this installation.
(c) DA directives will give a categorization for pesticide use. Categorization listings will identify those pesticides which may be used by a trained and certified applicator as well as by other than a trained and certified applicator.
(d) EPA pesticides registered under FIFRA will be used by the pesticide control services personnel, and usage will be in accordance with DA directives and label requirements. In the event it is desired to use special use or State registered pesticides, approval will be obtained from the MACOM entomologist/agronomist, DAEN-FEB and DAEN-ZCE.
(e) Pesticides in excess of installation requirements will be reported through channels to the Commander, U.S. Army General Parts and Materiel and Petroleum Activity Center, New Cumberland Army Depot, New Cumberland, Pa. 17070, in accordance with paragraph 77, Chapter VI, Defense Disposal Manual 4160.21M. Disposition instructions will be requested. However, every effort should be made to use the pesticide for the purposes originally intended, at the prescribed dosage rates, provided they are currently legal under all Federal, State, and local laws and regulations.
(f) Only approved methods will be used in the disposal of small quantities of certain excess or unusable pesticides (39 FR 15239). Accepted methods of rinse and disposal of pesticide containers have been developed in accordance with EPA recommended procedures. Guidance thereon will be issued by DAEN-ZCE. Technical assistance concerning containers not covered in directives may be obtained from: Commander, U.S. Army Environmental Hygiene Agency (USAEHA), Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md. 21010. Small quantities of used, suspended or cancelled pesticides may be disposed of in a Class 1 disposal site or its equivalent. These “small” quantities vary with different pesticides and will be determined by Commander, USAEHA.
(g) The judicious application of herbicides will be observed in natural resources management operations. Alternative methods of plant control such as mowing, controlled burning, etc. should be employed if economically feasible rather than the use of herbicides if at all possible.
(h) Prohibited procedures.
(1) No pesticide, pesticide-related waste, pesticide container, or residues from a pesticide container will be disposed of in such a manner as to cause or allow: open dumping; water dumping; well injection; direct exposure which may result in contamination of food or feed supplies, or a manner inconsistent with its label or labeling. Rare exceptions to these prohibited procedures may be granted by the regional administrator of EPA in accordance with the MPRSA and FWPCA amendments of 1972.
(2) Normally, no pesticide, pesticide-related waste, pesticide container, or residue from a pesticide container shall be disposed of in such a manner inconsistent with its label or labeling or in such a manner as to cause or allow open burning. Small quantities of combustible containers, not to exceed 50 pounds or the quantity emptied in a single work day, whichever is less (except those formerly containing organic beryllium, selenium, mercury, lead, cadmium, or arsenic compounds) may be burned by the applicator in open fields where—
(i) Due regard is given to wind direction in relation to receptors such as population centers, field workers, domestic animals, and surface water supplies,
(ii) Such open burning is consistent with Federal, State, or local ordinances; and
(iii) Provisions are made to avoid contamination of surface and groundwater to levels in excess of standards promulgated by the Public Health Service, U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare for potable water.
(i) Immediate emergency assistance on a pesticide spill that threatens life or gross contamination of the environment may be obtained by calling (800) 424–9300 or in Wash., DC (202) 483–7616 (chapter 6, AR 420–76).
(j) Application of pesticides, including aerial dispersal, may require the filing of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The continuation of ongoing pest control operations which have been assessed and found to have no significant adverse environmental effect may not require the preparation of an EIS. However, a change of pesticide, rate of application, application technique or the initiation of a special or new operation, will require preparation of a new Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) or the updating of a previous assessment. Where new pesticide programs are proposed, the command entomologist or agronomist will be consulted. Copies of each EIA prepared will be retained on file at the installation. (See subpart B of this part for EIA/EIS procedures).
§ 650.128 Monitoring.
(a) The DA pesticide monitoring program is the responsibility of the US Army Health Services Command (AR 40–5). It complements the National Pesticide Monitoring Program to insure that the use of pesticides does not constitute a threat to human health or hazard to the environment. The program determines pesticide residue levels in substances such as surface water, soil, sediments, fish, and birds.
(b) Army installation commanders having pest control management activities will support the DA pesticide monitoring program. Technical assistance in this area may be obtained from Commander, US Army Environmental Hygiene Agency, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md. 21010.

(a) Pest Control Summary Report, (RCS, DD-I&L (AR) 1080). Continuing reports will be made on the use of pesticides as required by AR 420–76.
(b) The Environmental Protection Control Report—Pesticide Pollution Category 6, (RCS DD-I&L (SA) 1383). The Pesticide Pollution Control Report is designed to provide information on a phased and co-ordinated plan for prevention or control of pesticide pollution for submission to Office of the Secretary of Defense and Office of Management and Budget. Examples to be included in such a report are disposal facilities, storage facilities or shop remodeling relating to prevention, control or abatement of pollution from pesticides. The report is the Army's fiscal plan for abatement of pesticide pollution resulting from Army activities. See subpart J of this part for reporting procedures and guidance.
Hazardous Chemical Stocks (Excluding Chemical Warfare Agents)
§ 650.130 Implementing guidelines.
(a) Existing or promulgated hazardous chemical management standards in this regulation apply to all Army facilities. Storage, use, handling and disposal of hazardous chemical stocks will conform to published DA policies, standards, and procedures (tables 6–1 and 6–2).

(b) With the exception of oils and other liquid petroleum products (subpart I of this part), it is difficult to identify materials which should be classified as hazardous or toxic. Hazards to be considered include flammability, radioactivity, reactivity, toxicity, bioconcentration, irritation, allergenic, or genetic activity. Certain chemicals, such as asbestos, cadmium, lead, mercury, beryllium, cyanide, toxaphene, polyvinyl chloride, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's), fluorine compounds, selenium, arsenic, and certain pesticides are recognized as hazardous and special storage and handling are necessary even for small quantities. Other materials, however, are more difficult to categorize since excessive amounts of almost anything can be harmful when released. EPA is currently defining criteria and establishing effluent standards for hazardous substances and toxic pollutants (including some pesticides) under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act amendments of 1972 (39 FR 30466). Effluent standards will be published by EPA for these hazardous substances which can reasonably be anticipated to be discharged into navigable waters and which will pose an imminent and substantial danger to public health and welfare. Upon issuance in the (c) Subpart C of this part lists requirements under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System and other applicable Federal, State, and local standards. (d) Ocean dumping, as a rule, will not be considered an acceptable means of disposing of hazardous and toxic substances, pesticides, radioactive wastes, or chemical warfare agents. Only under special circumstances, and after coordination with EPA, will ocean dumping and transportation for such dumping be allowed. § 650.131 Procedures.The hazardous chemical management procedures in this regulation are presented as preferred methods by which the requirements of the environmental standards and the objectives of DA policies can be achieved. If techniques other than the following are used, commanders will demonstrate in advance that the techniques to be employed will satisfy the environmental quality standard in this regulation or those established by the appropriate Federal, State, or local authority. (a) All measures to prevent accidental pollution of the environment by uncontrolled release of hazardous chemicals to the air, water, or land environment will be taken by all Army activities. (1) Installations storing, handling, or transferring hazardous chemicals will include within their Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan, procedures to prevent, control and report accidental releases of these substances to the environment. (See subpart I of this part, on requirements for SPCC plans). (2) Effluent standards for toxic pollutants are found in 40 CFR part 129, and the designation of hazardous substances will be found in 40 CFR part 116. (b) Storage facilities for chemicals (excluding pesticides) hazardous to health and welfare and detrimental to the environment, will be located according to the nature of the chemicals, storage site, protective enclosures, and operating procedures. Adequate measures will be taken for inventorying chemicals semiannually, for controlling hazards, and for monitoring the environment. (c) Appropriate safety materials and protective clothing and equipment will be kept on hand for emergency treatment, decontamination, cleanup, and for area warning signs and labels. (d) No hazardous chemical, or its container, which will cause adverse effects on the environment, will be used or disposed of in a manner inconsistent with instructions on its label or inconsistent with use or disposal procedures established by Federal, State, or local laws or regulations. (e) Ultimate disposal of unserviceable and excess hazardous chemical stocks. (1) Hazardous chemical stocks that are unserviceable and/or have been declared excess to DA requirements will be reported to the local Defense Property Disposal Office (DPDO) for merchandising. The stocks will remain the property of the generating agency until ultimate disposal. (2) Disposal of hazardous chemical stocks on which DPDO disposition cannot be obtained may be made by contract with commercial firms, provided it is in accordance with appropriate Federal, State, or local laws and regulations and the commercial firm is licensed or otherwise approved to dispose of the chemical stocks by the appropriate authorities. (3) Disposal guidance can be obtained from the Commander, US Army Edgewood Arsenal who, in conjunction with Commander, US Army Environmental Hygiene Agency, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD 21010, will provide data. Requests for disposal guidance should include Federal Stock Number (FSN), full nomenclature, appropriate military specification or standard indicated on label, quantity of issue, total quantity of issue, total quantity requiring disposal (pounds, gallons, liters, etc.), and condition of containers. (4) Commanders of installations and activities who are responsible for disposing of hazardous chemicals will maintain records indicating quantities of hazardous chemicals disposed of, disposal method used, and disposal site location (e.g. removal of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) from transformers). (f) The transport of dangerous or hazardous chemicals is subject to the provision of Pub. L. 91–121 (50 U.S.C. 1511–1516) and AR 55–56. Chapter 216, AR 55–355 requires DA compliance with CFR title 14 (air transportation), Title 49 (highway and rail transportation), and title 46 (water transportation). Further, AR 55–228 governs water transport of hazardous materials and TM 38–250 prescribes the provisions for the transportation of dangerous materials by military aircraft. (g) Immediate short-term (30 minutes or less) emergency assistance on a chemical spill transportation problem may be obtained by calling Chem Trec (800) 424–9300 or in the Washington, DC area, (202) 483–7616. This service is available only for short-term transportation problems and provides information on spills, leaks, fire and explosion. § 650.132 Special authorizations. (a) A notification must be made to EPA for the operation, construction or modification of a source of hazardous air pollutants (asbestos, beryllium, or mercury); (b) Transportation of hazardous items is covered in AR 55–56, title 49 CFR parts 170–189 and Department of Transportation hazardous materials regulations. (c) Installation commanders will comply with permits required under the provisions of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). § 650.133 Monitoring.Environmental monitoring will be in accordance with requirements established in subparts C and D of this part and the NPDES. § 650.134 Reports.Installation commanders will report, as required, on the inventory, use, and disposal of hazardous chemical stocks, on recurring reports under the NPDES, and as required on accident/incident reports required by AR 385–40 and AR 50–6. Pharmaceutical Stocks, Biological Wastes, and Drugs§ 650.135 Procedures.The pharmaceutical disposal procedures in this regulation are preferred methods and apply to both existing and new Army facilities. (a) No pharmaceutical stock or its container will be disposed of in a manner inconsistent with instructions on its label; or instructions provided in DA #SB 8–75 series supply bulletins; or inconsistent with disposal procedures established by appropriate Federal, State, or local laws and regulations. (b) Pharmaceutical stocks in excess to medical facility requirements will be reported through medical supply channels in accordance with AR 40–61 and disposition instructions will be requested. (c) Destruction of banned, outdated, and unserviceable pharmaceutical stocks will be in accordance with instructions provided in DA #SB 8–75 series bulletins. Assistance in determining applicability of disposal procedures may be obtained by request to Commander, US Army Environmental Hygiene Agency, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD 21010.

Empty container should be allowed to drain for one minute into the spray tank. Step 2. Replace closure. Step 3. Accumulate unrinsed empty drums in a secure area, and: a. Store pending receipt of DOD disposal instructions; or b. Return empty drums to a registered drum reconditioner1 or a pesticide manufacturer or formulator for refilling with the same chemical class of pesticide as previously contained provided such return and refilling is legal under current applicable U.S. Department of Transportation regulations;1 or c. Recycle as scrap metal through a metal reclaiming firm having EPA and/or State approved burning equipment suitable for incineration of pesticides. recommended interim guidelines for disposal of specified containers (bait, dust, aerosol and granule) Step 1. Empty container in the normal manner. a. Residue should be completely removed from balt, dust and granule containers. b. Aerosol containers should be completely expended.2 2 In expending aerosol containers, some propellant usually remains. This propellant can be ignited if a large quantity of aerosol cans are crushed while being disposed in sanitary landfill operations. The vapors of propellant (in sufficient volume) can be sucked over the hot bulldozer engine by its fan and such vapors can ignite, consuming the equipment and operators in flames. Therefore, never store spent aerosol cans for disposal at one time; rather dispose them either singly or in quantities of no more than six cans. Step 2. Crush container with the exception of aerosol containers. Step 3. Dispose container in the sanitary landfill in conformance with State and local standards, or accumulate and recycle the crushed metal containers through a properly equipped metal reclaiming firm, if applicable. Note: Never re-use emptied pesticide containers. recommended interim guidelines for disposal of water wettable powder containers (metal and paper) Step 1. Empty container in the normal manner. Step 2. Rinse container three times, each time using a volume of water equal to approximately 10 percent of the container capacity and adding the rinse water to the spray tank. This rinse water should be calculated as part of the required diluent. Step 3. Rinsed metal containers can be crushed and sold as scrap metal, if applicable. Unsalvaged containers should be rendered unuseable and buried in an approved sanitary landfill in conformance with State and local standards. Note: Never re-use emptied pesticide containers. recommended interim guidelines for disposal of one gallon oil solution ready-mix metal containers (6840–844–7355 diazinon 0.5 percent; 6840–180–6069 baygon household spray 1 percent) Step 1.
