What must be submitted to the IDALS pesticide bureau for permanent pesticide storage?

To permanently store pesticides, it is necessary to submit an Iowa registered engineer's design plans to the IDALS (Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship) pesticide bureau. This requirement ensures that the storage facility is designed and constructed according to specific safety and regulatory standards, minimizing risks associated with pesticide spills, leaks, or contamination.

The involvement of a registered engineer ensures that the design incorporates necessary features like adequate containment for spills, proper ventilation, and secure access to prevent unauthorized entry. By following these guidelines, the storage facility not only complies with legal requirements but also helps protect public health and the environment from potential hazards associated with improper pesticide storage.

While training programs, details of pesticides used, and contamination assessments are all important for various aspects of pesticide management, they do not specifically fulfill the requirement for establishing a permanent pesticide storage solution.
