C.  TIMETABLE FOR ENABLING LEGISLATION





    1.   Current status:





        The Pesticide Advisory Council  has proposed, developed



        and submitted a pesticide applicators law to Review



        Board and Boards of Agriculture and Natural  Resources.



        Adverse reaction to proposal  was encountered with



        DNR board membership.   Proposal probably will  not



        be submitted to Legislative councils this year and



        if this is true, next  opportunity will  be 1975.





        Reaction from various  segments  of Wisconsin  communities



        critical of proposed legislation.  Some individuals



        feel  that State of Wisconsin  may elect  to let EPA



        assume all responsibilities of FEPCA at the  State level.

c.  Manpower and Funding

    In the Department of Agriculture Messrs. Robert
    and Halliday are primary contacts for pesticide
    problems.

    Reports of pesticide incidents may be generated
    by personnel in DA, Department of Natural
    Resources or the citizenry in the field.
    Incidents are relayed to field or administra-
    tive offices and appropriate action taken.

    Analytical services are provided by the
    General and Animal Diagnostic Laboratories.

    Enforcement activities are focused in DA and
    the Department of Natural Resources.

    According to Mr. Robert, none of the Divisions
    have an exclusive budget for pesticide activities,
    It has been estimated that about $40,000 of
    Plant Industries budget is utilized by pesticide
                   -24-

    activities.  There are no estimates from the
    other Divisions.

d.  Operational Programs and Commitments

    (1)  Training

         Regional Personnel have been participating in
         training and educational sessions.

         The Lead Agency, in cooperation with University
         Extension Specialists have submitted a training
         preproposal to EPA.

    (2)  Training Facilities and Personnel

         The University of Wisconsin, Madison, is the
         primary agriculture training center in the
         State.   Numerous  publications relating to
         the safe use of pesticides are available.
         Newsletters for specific crop interests are
         mailed when the need arises; pesticide
         recommendations are transmitted.  Fruit
         Growers and Vegetable Growers Newsletters
         as well as Sprayers Service Letter are
         examples.

         Pesticide recommendations are in loose-leaf
         notebooks and are updated periodically.

In 1965, a cooperative educational program for
certifying sellers and users of pesticides was
initiated by the Extension Service.  Participation
in the program was voluntary and actually did not
lead to legal certification for those participating.
The purpose of the project was to expose enrollees
to technical guidelines in pest control (management),
Approximately 1,500 individuals participated in the
education-examination program and of these, 1,000
became "certified" as custom applicators and/or
sellers of pesticides.  Primary interest areas
include weeds, insects, livestock, housing
structures, ana mosquito control.  This recognition
was achieved by taking a three-hour open-book
examination.
In anticipation of the passage of the Federal
Pesticide Control Act, the Wisconsin Extension
Service, under the direction of Dr. E.  Fisher,
began reviewing and updating the certification
course outline early in 1972.   It is anticipated
that the new course structure will form a solid
base for utilization in FECPA implementation.
Licensing will be the authority of the  Wisconsin
               -27-

     Department  of  Agriculture  when  regulatory  action
     is  passed.

     During  the  past  two years,  considerable  emphasis
     has  been  extended  to  orienting  wardens,  foresters
     and  Department of  Natural  Resources  field  personnel
     to  pesticide use and  contaimination  of Wisconsin
     land and  water areas.   Representatives of  the
     pesticide council  present  training  courses
     throughout  the State  which involves  the  above
     groups.   Approximately 600 individuals ere
     exposed during the 8-10 workshops and  the  results
     have been excellent.

(3)   Enabling  Legislation

     Enabling  legislation  has been developed  but  has
     met substantial  opposition among departmental
     review  committees.

ments of Agriculture and Natural Resources with
the Department of Natural Resources playing a
leading role.  Chapter NR 80, Use of Pesticides
on Land and Water Areas of the State of Wisconsin,
delegates authority to the Department of Natural
Resources.  Game wardens are utilized in
investigations and their numbers emphasize the
role of the Department of Natural Resources.

Working relationships between DA and DNR personnel
are very strong.  DNR Game Wardens and Foresters
attend annual pesticide training sessions.
Specialists from the University, Department of
Health and Federal government discuss pertinent
aspects of pesticide use, legislation, safety and
disposal.  Training sessions are held throughout
the state and are usually 2 days each.

                           Part II

A.  INTRA STATE REGISTERED PRODUCTS & EXPERIMENTAL PERMITS

    1.  Intrastate Products

        Wisconsin does not maintain a separate list of
        intrastate products.   Agriculture personnel are
        considering how such a list can be extracted from
        their files.

    ?.  Experimental  Permits

        Wisconsin does not issue experimental  permits.
        However, if a commercial firm desires  to conduct
        their own research with experimental  products or
        sell experimental  products within the  state,
        authorization from the Department of Agriculture
        must be obtained.

        Experimental  products evaluated by unversity
        scientists for commercial  companies do not require
        letters of authorization.

        The following companies have been authorized to
                           -41-

C.  PESTICIDE USE DATA
    1.   Introduction
        Increased harvested corn acreage for 1971  contributed
        to a significant expansion of pesticide useage.
        Harvested corn acreage in 1971  was 11  percent above
        1970.  Total acres of crops receiving  at least one
        treatment of pesticides in 1971 were 7 percent
        greater than 1970.  Herbicides  were applied a
        minimum of once to 27% percent  of the  harvested
        crop acreage while insecticides were put on lh
        percent of the acreage.

        Of the crop acreage treated with pesticides at l^ast
        one time in 1971, herbicides were applied  to almost
        2% million acres or 78 percent  of the  total.   Insec-
        ticides were used on the remaining 22  percent, amounting
        to 678,000 acres.  In the three years  of the pesticide
        survey, (1969-1970) the acreage of the crops included
        in the survey increased 3 percent while the acreage
        treated at least once increased 23 percent.  During
        the three-year period, harvested corn  acreage
        showed a 14 percent gain and the acreage corn
        treated at least once with pesticides  increased
        28 percent.

        When the acres of Wisconsin field crops treated  more
        than one time are counted for each application,  a
        total of 4.3 million acres were covered by pesticides
        in 1971.  About one acre out of every  four was given
                           -53-

-------

-------
            extra treatments, the same as in 1970.  Corn accounted
            for nearly all crop acreage receiving multiple
            treatments of pesticides.   From 1969 to 1971,  the
            acreage of corn receiving  multiple treatments  in-
            creased 35 percent.

2.   Herbicides
    Almost 2.9 million acres of corn received herbicides in
    1971, representing 86 percent of all  crop acreage treated.
    Of the 928,000 acres treated with insecticides,  corn
    accounted for 98 percent.   Total acres of corn treated
    by herbicides in 1971 were 10 percent greater than a
    year earlier, while corn acreage treated with insecticides
    increased 19 percent.

    Preemergence treatment of  corn has been increasing.   Seventy
    percent of the corn receiving pesticides in 1971  was treated
    preemergence, up four percent from 1970 and six  percent
    higher than in 1969.   Preemergence treatment of  corn with
    herbicides in 1971  amounted to 63 percent of the  total,
    5 percent more than the previous year.   Ninety-two
    percent of the corn received preemergence treatment rrorn
    insecticides in 1971, the  same as in  1970.

    Aatrex (atrazine) continued to be the leading herbicide
    used to treat corn  both preemergency  and postemergence.
    Aatrex alone and in combination with  other  chemicals was
    applied to about 91 percent of the corn acreage  treated
    preemergence in 1971.   Eighty-five percent  of the corn
    treated postemergence with herbicides was handled by
    Aatrex alone or in  combination with oil.

    Nearly half a million acres of soybeans,  small grains, hay
    and  tobacco were treated with pesticides  in 1971.   The
    small  grainsoats, wheat, barley, and  rye-accounted for
    402,000 acres.

      Furadan  (carbofuran) was  used  on  slightly over  half  of  the

  corn treated preemergence with  insecticides  in 1971.  A  total of

  424,000 acres were  treated  by Furadan in  1971 compared with only

  36,000 acres in  1970.  Thimet (phorate) was  used on one fourth

"  of the corn  treated preernergence with insecticides  in 1971  whereas

  in 1970 it was used on almost half.   Bux  was put on 9 1/2 percent

  of the corn  treated preemergence in 1971  while in 1970 ,it was

  used to treat a  fifth of the  acreage.  Usage of diazinon dropped

  from 10 percent  in  1970 to  8  percent  in 1971.

      Diazinon replaced Thimet  as the leading insecticide  treating

  corn, postemeryeIKG  m 197"!.   Of t'no .7^,000 acres treated postemer-

  gence,  diazinon was  applied to 30,000 while Thimet went on  22,000.

  Another 11,000 acres of corn  were  treated by Sevin  (carbaryl).

          Granular insecticides  form were applied to corn preernergence

  at the  rate  of 6.9  pounds in  1971, up slightly from the 6.6  pounds

  in 1970.  Postemergence application of granular products on  corn

  averaged 5.9 pounds  per acre  in- 1971  compared with 6.2 pounds a

  year earlier.  A total of 835,000 acres of corn were treated pre-

'  emergence with insecticides in 1971,  an increase of 130,000  acres
                                                                  t
  from the previous year.   Postemergence treatment of corn with    i

  insecticides increased by 15,000 acres from 1970 to 1971.

  5.  Custom/Self Applied Pesticide Applications
      Farmers relied more on custom operators to apply pesti-
      cides to their crops in 1971  than in 1970.  Custom operators
      applied herbicides to 29 percent of the acreage treated in
      1971 compared with 27 percent a year earlier.   Insecticide
      applications by custom operators amounted to 10 percent
      in 1971, up from 6 percent in 1970.

      No change was shown in the method of applying  herbicides
      from 1970 to 1971.  Ninety-one percent of the  acres re-
      ceived surface application, 5 percent were banded, and 4
      percent had the herbicides incorporated into the soil.
      Insecticides were applied at the surface on a  fuurth
      of the acreage treated in 1971 compared with a fifth
      in iy70.  Insecticides were uanueu uu G4 percent of
      acres having insecticides incorporated into the soil
      dropped from 16 percent in 1970 to 11 percent  in 1971.

6.    Livestock
      In the 1971 pesticide survey, 79 percent of the farms
      reporting had livestock and of these 44 percent treated
      for insect control.  Most of these farms treated cattle
      but a few also treated hogs and sheep.  Liquid insecticides
      accounted for three-fourths of the total insecticides
      used in 1971.  An average of 9 gallons of liquid
      insecticides were applied per farm compared with 7.7
      gallons in 1970.   Those farms using dry insecticides
      averaged 8.6 pounds per farm in 1971, nearly 2 pounds
      more than a year earlier.
                         -69-

-------

-------
    Vapona (dichlorvcus) v.'as again the most popular insecticide,
accounting for half of'the livestock farms that treated  for  insects.
It was applied at the rate of 9.4 fallons per farm, an increase
of almost a gallon from 1970."

D.  INFORMATION ON REGISTRATION & CLASSIFICATION
    1.   Registration

        All pesticides offered for sale, sold, delivered for
        transportation or transported in intrastate commerce
        shall  be registered annually.  Each applicant must
        provide his name and address plus data on the chemistry,
        toxicology, efficacy, brand name or trade mark, in
        addition to other information the department may
        request.
        A $10 application fee is required for each product.
        When total fees for each company reach $100, no other
        fees are required.

        Approximately 908 companies have registered 5,471  products
        in Wisconsin during 1973.

        EPA records indicate 91  firms located in Wisconsin have
        registered 602 products  with the Federal government,
        products sold intra and  interstate.

    2.   Classification

        a.  General Use Pesticides
            Wisconsin does  not classify pesticides for general
            use.

               WISCONSIN PESTICIDE PROFILE





                         Part III





A.  REGIONAL/STATE SPECIAL PROBLEMS ON PROGRAM OPERATIONS





    1.   PASS





        Wisconsin Department of Agriculture and the Department



        of Natural Resources officials are interested in pro-



        viding pesticide episode data but only those which



        have been investigated.  Health officials are forwarding



        poison control center data but most episodes have not



        been investigated.





    2.   Enabling Legislation





        Discussed on page 21.  Briefly, however, enabling legislation



        has been developed and reviewed by several departmental



        committees.  Objection by a member of the Department of



        Natural Resources committee prevented legislative review



        in 1973.  Agriculture officials are pessimistic of a



        legislative review before 1975; strong possibility exists



        that Wisconsin will not adopt the proposal.





    3.   Disposal of Excess Pesticides and Pesticide Containers





        Both the Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources




                          -76-

-------

-------
have guidelines for disposal.  Where small amounts
of product are involved, it is suggested that the
material be utilized as recommended.  An alternative
is to wrap the pesticide in newspaper and place it
in the trash.  The Department of Natural Resources
advises consumers to return illegal pesticides to
the manufacturer.  Several  disposal sites are avail-
able in the State, but most are under direct juris-
dicition of municiple government.   Occasionally, this
presents a problem.   Legislation is anticipated to
give the State more authority in this matter.

B.   SPECIAL LOCAL NEEDS ON PESTICIDE USE
    1.   Minor Crops

        Pesticide registration on minor crops continues
        as a local  problem.   Economics prevent industry from
        seeking registrations.  Wisconsin officials favor
        establishing State/Federal  cooperative programs to
        analyze crop residues and establishing tolerances.
        The possibility of utilizing Federal  facilities
        should be explored.   Minor crops are  important in
        some areas  of the state and often represent the only
        crop(s) that can be  successfully grown.   There is no
        problem in  determining product efficacy.   Cooperative
        efforts in  and between adjacent states has great poten-
        tial.

    2.  Disposal of Excess Pesticides
        Ansul Chemical Company has about 130,000 tons of
        pesticide waste containing 1% arsenic they want to
        dispose of.  It is understood that Mr.  Harry Trask,  OSWMP
        has been consulted.   Ansul  would like to  consider
        ocean dumping.

    3.   Public Health Problems

        a.  Migratory Laborers
                          -79-

-------

-------
    Migratory workers aid in crop production and
    harvest.  Little information is available on the
    impact of pesticides on this transient population.

    Officials in the Department of Health are proposing
    a complete investigation of pesticide exposure
    studies for the laborers, available medical
    facilities, ages of field workers, housing facilites,
    hours and days is actual labor, medical  examinations
    and access to pesticide training and educational
    facilities.

D.   Kesiaent ropulaiions

    Some residents in the heavy pesticide use areas,
    in addition to migratory laborers, complain of
    unnecessary exposure to pesticides applied by
    farmers and municipal employees conducting mosquito
    control programs.  Proposed study referred to in  (a)
    would consider evaluating specific mosquito abatement
    programs.  Selected residents would be asked to
    submit to complete medical  examinations  and possibly
    allergy tests.  Current municipal  spray  practices
    would be evaluated.  EPA is considering  State
    Services Contract for the migratory-resident study.
    Region V will receive the proposal on July 13, 1973.
                    -80-

-------

-------
C.  REGIONAL/STATE PROBLEM ON POLICIES, PROGRAM  STRATEGIES





    1.  State Cooperation





        Cooperation from State agencies regarding FEPCA and



        pesticide use has been very good.  Agriculture and



        Natural Resources officials respond to many  inquiries



        from the Regional Office.  The role of the Health



        Department is increasing.  The accident  prevention



        specialist, who is relatively new, is providing



        poison control center reports of pesticide episodes



        and wants to expand his involvement.  It is  anticipated



        that hKA Will D6 asked i~ur nuuiinal rindfiC'iul u33"3tC;r,CC



        to improve mechanics for retrieval of episode reports.

        EDUCATION FOR CERTIFYING SELLERS AND USERS  OF PESTICIDES
                     (Principles of Pest Management)
   Situation;  Pest control continues to be of increasing  national and

 rldwide importance.  This is confirmed substantially by  the  legal registra-

 >n of thousands of pesticide formulations by the federal Environmental

 >tection Agency.  Largely by reference to this federal registration,  our

 ;consin Department of Agriculture likewise registers pesticide  formulations
                                                       l.

                                                       ?
   The benefit to risk ratio must have due consideration in  pest control

 in the uses of all man-made "tools" for living.  The well-being of man

 1 his environment require both understanding and implementation of techni-

 . guidelines in pcct centre! (management) for most desirable achievement.

   Individual farmers and urbanites apply more pesticides  than  do custom

st incite educational attention to all users of pesticides -- and  it has

in shown by surveys that most pesticide users obtain more advice,  at least

st prior^fro-juse, from pesticide s e11 erg than froa any other source.  Educa-
on for aSa-ters should be essentially the same as for onro^fctmr

cept for additional specific requirements.                                            I
                                                                                      r-
   Periding are federal and Wisconsin legislations on educating, examining             ,

d licensing or otherwise certifying custom applicators and possibly sellers

 pesticides.  Included is the strong likelihood of classifying usable

sticides in such categories as either "general-use" or "restricted-use".

is latter category will likely be "prescription-type" materials to be sold

d used only by those licensed or certified to do so -- this will increase

e demand for licensed custom applicators and/or education for individuals

o wish to use them for their personal benefits only. ( J-^-c-c. i^-*^^^^ ,i. <.-'(. ( (>•<•

 eating, examining, and certifying G^i-^oia^a-pplicators end sellers of pesti-

 es began in 1965.  (Additionally, similar educational programs in lesser


 th have been formally conducted annually for nearly three decades.)


 ghly 1500 individuals participated in the U.W. Exteneion education-


 mination program, 1000 becoming "certified" as custom applicators and/or


 lers of pesticides, largely in field crops weeds and insects, also insects


 livestock and their housing structures, and some in mosquito control.

 ;se people are due for the updated program, and so are several hundred new


 ividuals, and many thousands of farmers who plan to carry out pest control

 r personal benefits only.


   The additional custom applicators, sellers,  and other individuals who will


 :k education for pest control in Forests, Water, Residential & Municipal,


 in Lands, and Structural categories should include possibly 1000 more.  A


 ejected total of at least 2500 prospective custom applicators and dealers


 realistic for the educational program.   A survey of individuals with intent


 participate will give us positive figures of specific specializations


 sired in geographic locations, aiding iu scheduling educational programs


 : greatest convenience.


   Purpose;   Within the above "Situation", the  need to educate and examine


 . users and  sellers of pesticides is evident.  The total "Pest Management"


ncept is to  be presented within each category of specialization.  Examina-


DH enhances  the learning, helps to determine desired competencies, and


ints to weaknesses in student understanding --  the weaknesses possibly

ing due to one or more factors such as inadequate teaching,  difficult-to-

derstand literature, or ambiguous exam questions.

  Section 1.  94.705 of the statutes is created to read:


  94.705  PESTICIDES;.CERTIFICATION AND LICENSING OF PESTICIDE


LICATORS .


  (1)   DEFINITIONS.  (a)  "Certified applicator" means an  indi-


aal certified by the department to use or supervise the use of
                                              V

ticides as a private or commercial applicator.


  (b)   "Private applicator" means a certified applicator who

  (e)  "Under the supervision of a certified applicator" means

2r the instructions and control of a certified applicator who i^

sically present at the application site or readily available for

poses of supervision when and if needed.

  (f)  "Restricted use pesticide" is a pesticide classified as

i under the federal act or by the department and which may only

ased by or under the supervision of a certified applicator as

yided under this section.

  (g)  "General use pesticide" is a pesticide classified as such

er. the federal act or by the department and is available.for

eral use by the public as provided in this section.
                                     •
  (h) -"Prohibited use pesticide" is a pesticide classified as

  (i)  "Environment" includes water, air, land/ and all plants

 man and other animals living therein, and the interrelation-

ps existing among these.

  (j)  "Federal act" means the federal environmental pesticide

trol act (7 USC 135 et. seq.).

  (2)  CLASSIFICATION AND USE OF PESTICIDES.  (a)   The depart-

t, in the registration of pesticides for various uses, shall

ssify them as being for general or restricted uses, or as

eral use pesticides for some purposes and as restricted use

ticides for other purposes, depending on the effects the pes-

ide or various uses thereof may have on man or his environment.

ticides or those uses thereof which, without the exercise of

cial regulatory controls, may be injurious to the applicator or

-------

-------
                            _ o „







sr persons because of acute dermal or inhalation toxicity,  or



ate unreasonable adverse effects on the environment,  including



ilife, shall be classified as restricted use pesticides.   The




2ling for restricted uses shall be clearly distinguishable



•n labeling for general uses.  In regulating pesticide uses,




ticides creating a high degree of harm or injury to man or his




ironment may be prohibited for use for any and all purposes, or




libited for use except in emergencies or under such regulatory




trols as the department may prescribe.



  (b)  Classifications adopted in the registration of pes.ticides




11 be as uniform as possible with those adopted in the regis-




tion of pesticides under the federal act,  except that the de-



tment may, as necessary to meet local conditions, deviate there-




11 in accordance with standards prescribed under paragraph  (a) .




  (3)  CERTIFICATION; STANDARDS.  (a).  The department, with the



ommendation and approval of the pesticide review board, shall



pt standards for the certification and training of certified



licators which as a minimum are equal to those adopted under



 federal act.  Such standards shall provide that an individual



3Q certified must be competent with respect to the use and



dling of the pesticide or class of pesticides used or applied



iim.  In the adoption of such standards, separate certification




egories of pesticide use and application may be established




 certification purposes depending on the pesticide used and




fering methods of application.




  (b)  Separate standards shall be established for the certi-




ation of private and commercial applicators in the various

-------

-------
ategories  or  subcategories of pesticide  use  and  application which



ay  be established.   Such standards may include separate  standards



:  competency  for  operators employed by,  or working  under the



apervision of certified applicators.



    (4)  CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS.   (a)  No person  shall  use



:  supervise the use  of restricted use pesticides, or  act or rep-



asent himself as  a private or commercial applicator,  unless he



3  certified as provided in this  section.  This does not  prohibit



perators from using  or applying  restricted use pesticides under



ie  supervision of a  certified applicator, or using  or applying



sneral use pesticides as an  employee of  a commercial  applicator



:  competent to engage in such work.  No  certified applicator



lall employ operators or supervise the use or application of



ssticides  by  operators who are not competent to  engage in such



:>rk, or do not meet  such standards as may be established by the



apartment.



    (b)  Applications for certification  as certified  applicators



iall be submitted on forms prescribed by the department,  and be



scompanied by an  annual certification  fee of $10 for  a private



pplieator  and $25 for a commercial applicator. "  Certifications



>r  certified  applicators shall expire one year'after  date" of is-



aance.  Certification shall  not  be required  for  operators employed



r or working  under the supervision of a  certified applicator, ex-



2pt that operators may be required to be registered with the de-



irtment, and  meet such other standards,  including training, as



le  department may require.




    (c)  Certifications shall specifically set forth  each appli-



jtor category or  subcategory thereof in  which the applicant is

-------

-------
rtified to act.   Certifications  may  be granted in one or more



regories or subcategories  depending  on individual qualificationo.



rtified applicators  may  engage in pesticide use and application



Ly in those categories or  subcategories for which they are cer-



Tied.



   (d)   As a condition to  the issuance and renewal of certifica-



Dns,  the department  may  require  that individual applicators, and



srators employed by  them,  satisfactorily complete such examina-



Dn or training programs  as the department may  require.  Partici-



-ion in such programs may  be required on a periodic basis, as the



partment considers necessary to  maintain minimum levels of com-



tency in the light of changes and developments in pesticides and



fjs governing their uses.   Fees to cover the cost of such training



[ be assessed against individual applicators or operators com-



isurate with actual  cost.



   (e)   Private and- commercial applicators, other than private



plicators engaged solely in the  ground application of restricted



2 pesticides in the  production of agricultural commodities,  shall



inta*in and file with the department  such bonds, insurance policies,



 other forms of security as may  be acceptable  to the department,



 minimum amounts of  at least $2,000  to protect the public against



2 negligent use or application of pesticides.   Additional security,



- not to exceed a total  of $10,000,  may be required where minimum



y/erage may be insufficient because of extra hazards associated



;h various pesticides and  their  uses,  including differing-methods



 application, and the extent of  their use by any one applicator.



rtified applicators  engaged solely in the use,  or supervision of

-------

-------
                            -6-






 use,  of pesticides  as  an employee  of another  person shall  be



Tipt from individual  security requirements  of this  section if



ered under bonds  or  other security  furnished and filed by his



loyer to cover all certified applicators in his  employ.   Bonds



other security filed by employers under this exception shall



in minimum amounts of $5,000.  Additional  security,  but not to



aed a total of $25,000, may  be required depending  on the nature



 size of the business operation  conducted  by the employer and
