Voluntary Notification Project

To view PDF files, download Acrobat Reader.

What is this project?  A two-year study to determine if providing pesticide applicators with contact information for accredited schools, hospitals, nursing homes and state licensed adult and child daycares will reduce pesticide drift complaints or potential pesticide drift exposure by allowing them to voluntarily notify facilities before applications.

What facilities are included in this project?  Accredited schools, hospitals, nursing homes, adult daycares and child daycares in Chelan, Yakima and Kittitas counties.

What pesticides are affected?  Products labeled with the signal words "Danger/Poison" that are applied by aircraft or by airblast sprayers.
