ATCP 50.79(1) (1) Definition. In this section, “pesticide management” means controlling the storage, handling, use, and disposal of pesticides used in crop production in order to minimize contamination of water, air, and nontarget organisms.

ATCP 50.79(2) (2) Eligible costs. A cost-share grant under s. ATCP 50.40 may reimburse costs for pesticide management described in a pesticide management plan, if required, or described in the plan for the design of a pesticide structure. A cost-share grant may reimburse any of the following costs related to pesticide management:

ATCP 50.79(2)(a) (a) Costs for integrated pest management field scouting.

ATCP 50.79(2)(b) (b) Costs to develop or revise a pesticide management plan.

ATCP 50.79(2)(c) (c) Costs for spill control facilities, including any of the following facilities that are needed:

ATCP 50.79(2)(c)1. 1. A liquid-tight, reinforced concrete pad for a pesticide mixing area.

ATCP 50.79(2)(c)2. 2. Water-tight walls or perimeter flow diversion structures to convey spills or contaminated water from a pesticide mixing area to a sump.

ATCP 50.79(2)(c)3. 3. Perimeter flow diversion structures needed to convey surface water away from a pesticide mixing area.

ATCP 50.79(2)(c)4. 4. A shallow sump collection area capable of storing spills, rinsate, washwater, and precipitation that may leak or fall on a pesticide mixing pad.

ATCP 50.79(2)(c)5. 5. Roof structures and walls to protect a pesticide mixing area.

ATCP 50.79(2)(c)6. 6. Pesticide mixing area approach ramps.

ATCP 50.79(2)(c)7. 7. Water supply systems needed for a pesticide mixing area.

ATCP 50.79(2)(c)8. 8. Sump pump alarm and recovery systems for a pesticide mixing area.

ATCP 50.79(3)(a) (a) The cost-shared practice complies with all of the following that apply:

ATCP 50.79(3)(a)1. 1. NRCS conservation practice standard 595 pest management conservation system (January, 2022).

ATCP 50.79(3)(a)1m. 1m. NRCS conservation practice standard 309 agrichemical handling facility (September, 2021).

ATCP 50.79(3)(a)2. 2. Pesticide mixing and loading standards under subch. VIII of ch. ATCP 29.

ATCP 50.79(3)(a)3. 3. Standards specified by the University of Wisconsin-Madison, biological systems engineering department, in “Wisconsin Minimum Design and Construction Standards for Concrete Mixing and Loading Pads and Secondary Containment Structures” (February, 2005).

ATCP 50.79 Note Note: The “Wisconsin Minimum Design and Construction Standards for Concrete Mixing and Loading Pads and Secondary Containment Structures” (February, 2005) is on file with the department and the legislative reference bureau. Copies may be purchased from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Biological Systems Engineering Department, 460 Henry Mall, Madison, WI 53706, telephone: [phone].
