SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY CONDITION T Chloropicrin and Chloropicrin in Combination with Other Products (Field Fumigant) Introduction These permit conditions were developed to mitigate hazards of offsite movement of chloropicrin. They should be used in addition to the provisions in the California Food and Agricultural Code (FAC), Title 3, California Code of Regulations (3 CCR), and product labeling. These permit conditions do not apply to non -field fumigations, including greenhouses, potting soil, and golf courses. Any application of either: (1) a product that includes chloropicrin and another fumigant; or (2) simultaneous applications of chloropicrin and another fumigant product are subject to all applicable permit conditions for each fumigant chemical. This pertains to products containing more than 2% chloropicrin, Notice of Intent The NOI shall be submitted at least 48 hours before the fumigation begins and include the time fiunigation is scheduled to begin. If tarps will be used, the NOl must include a copy of tine tarp invoice. Confidential business information such as pricing, can be omitted. Certified Applicator Training Qualified Applicator Licensees (QAL) and Qualified Applicator Certificates (QAC) with subcategory "0" meet the labeled training requirements for Certified Applicators in charge of fiimigations.
