President's Message Special Feature Environmental Stewardship Inspection-Proofing Your Operation n an era when our chemical pro­ grams are under intense scrutiny, we can’t afford to ignore IPM practices or pass up an opportunity to support research that seeks viable nonchemical controls for our many turf problems. It’s in our best interest to do all we can to demonstrate to the public that we’re concerned about more than just creating a perfect playing surface for our members, but also about protecting and enhancing our courses’ wildlife habitat and water resources. There are two simple, yet largely overlooked ways superintendents can demonstrate their concern for the environment. Y Mike Cook, a Former Inspector With the New Tork Department of Environmental Conservation, Gives Tou the Straight Story on Surviving a DEC Pesticide Inspection door. The reason is obvious: The DEC ou’ve just dropped by the shop wants to see how you really operate. for a quick cup of coffee and an To help you inspection-proof your unfamiliar face makes an appear­ operation, Mike Cook of Alpine, the ance at the door.

Integrated Pest Management, which re­ quires that you document what you do to reduce chemical applications. 4. Wildlife and Habitat Management, which involves describing how you provide adequate food sources and safe havens for a variety o f wildlife. 5. Water Conservation, which means describing your efforts to reduce the amount o f water used to maintain your course. 6. Water Enhancement, which involves documenting any efforts to enhance the water quality for various wildlife species. Though many o f us are already meet­ ing a number o f these criteria, no one in New York has achieved “ Certified C o­ operative Sanctuary” status, and only one golf course in Connecticut has met all the criteria. That’s Woodway Coun­ try Club, under Larry Pakkala’s direc­ tion. Congratulations, Larry, for lead­ ing the way. I’ve stepped up my activity to get certified, and I hope more o f you out there will too. Even becoming involved in the program and achieving certifica­ tion in several of the six categories will go a long way toward demonstrating your environmental awareness and concern. For more information on the program, call the Audubon Society of New York at 518-767-9051. Investing in Environmentally Sound Maintenance Practices The second measure you can take to show your support for environmentally sound maintenance practices is simpler yet. It just requires that you allocate $150 from your budget annually to the Tri-State Turf Research Foundation. The foundation supports research concerned with finding environmentally safe controls for turfgrass problems specific to courses in the tri-state area. Guided by representatives from the MGA and the Metropolitan, Long Island, Hudson Valley, Connecticut, and New Jersey superintendent associations, the foundation currendy solicits funds from golf clubs in New Jersey, Connecti­ cut, and New York. Though more than 450 clubs are on the foundation’s mailing list, it received contributions from only 82 clubs in 1994. That’s only 18 percent involve­ ment. As you probably know, it was the TriState Turf Research Foundation that funded Dr. Bruce Clarke’s breakthrough summer patch research in the early ’90s. Now the foundation is supporting Dr. Michael Villani’s work on biological grub controls and Dr. Noel Jackson’s investigation into anthracnose/nematode relationships. These are problems in our own backyard. Finding solutions is in everyone’s best interest. So how could you not contribute? The foundation is looking for 100 percent participation. Please do your part in supporting this worthwhile cause—if not to demonstrate your environmental stewardship, to ensure your future success as a superintendent. As a Tri-State board member, I’d be happy to speak to any one o f you about the foundation’s work. Please don’t hes­ itate to call. But more important, please do your part to demonstrate your en­ vironmental concern and responsibility.

This is the portion o f the inspection that, without question, generates the most violations and fines (and they can run from $2,000 to $5,000 for each first offense). If you can maintain your daily use pesticide records in a fashion required by your state regulator, you can eliminate more than 50 percent of potential violations. Most state agencies require that your records include the following specifics: • Date of pesticide application • Target organism • Pesticide used • Dosage rate • Total quantity used • Place and method of application • Use o f pesticide Next in the lineup is your pesticide application equipment. Here, the inspector will want to ensure every piece of equipment is: • Clean of pesticide residuals that can pose a contamination problem • Equipped with an antisiphon device • In good running order The added bonus of keeping your spray equipment in top-notch condition is that it presents a favorable image to the inspector and the public. Storage Do’s and Don’ts With all that said and done, the inspec­ tor will ask to see your pesticide storage area. Though some states—such as New York—do not have specific regu­ lations pertaining to pesticide storage, most do have published recommenda­ tions that will guide you in setting up a ( 4) Tee to Green January/February 1995 responsible storage facility. You could also look to the pesticide container label for guidance. It generally lists storage requirements— and, o f course, instructions for proper use and container disposal. To pass an inspector’s scrutiny of your storage area, you should take the following precautions: • Lock and eliminate unauthorized access to your storage area. • Post warning signs in and around the facility. • Be sure the storage area is both well ventilated and heated to prevent the pesticides from freezing—and poten­ tially altering their potency—during the winter months. • Store all pesticides in well-labeled, secure containers. All containers should be examined monthly for signs o f deterioration. • Post the telephone numbers of various emergency service agencies: police, fire, and the local poison control center. • Keep sufficient spill control materi­ als—such as kitty litter—on hand and a fire extinguisher on the inside o f the storage facility. • Follow proper protocol for container disposal, such as triple rinsing all containers before discarding them. • Store herbicides and insecticides away from fertilizers to avoid cross­ contamination. • Store materials off the floor. Wooden pallets, for example, can be used. • Be sure personal protective equip­ ment—gloves, respirators, goggles, gloves, coveralls, aprons—are cleaned after each use and stored away from pesticides. Once the Inspection’s Complete When the inspection’s finished, the inspector will ask that you sign a written inspection form. Read the form carefully, paying close attention to any violations listed and any recommenda­ tions for correcting them. Frequently, you’re expected to send in a written response at a later date, specifying the steps you’ve taken to correct violations cited during the inspection. Reply as soon as possible, but most definitely within the time requested by the inspector. In the End It’s important to remember that there is no single article, publication, or seminar that will cover everything you must do to comply with federal and/or state regulations. But by constantly reading pesticide label directions, staying tuned to ever-changing pesti­ cide regulations, and attending educa­ tional seminars, you can substantially reduce your risk of violation—or worse, a series of costly fines. MIKE COOK Alpine, the Care of Trees Top 10 Violations on the DEC Hit List 1. Shoddy record-keeping 2. Storing pesticides in unlabeled containers 3. Failing to triple rinse containers before disposal 4. Pesticide spills in storage areas, particularly granular products 5. Allowing pesticide license to expire 6.

Applying pesticides not registered for use in the state 9. Neglecting to use products accord­ ing to label directions, e.g., failing to water in a product (tip-off: goose kill) 10.
