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.

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

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.

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.

3. Insecticides
. i
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."

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.
ided here . i?
?
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
huc the gf;5! for '^~ -«^ <•%»••• aafct-v in nesr control
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. <.-'(. ( (>•<•

The research-based and research-oriented U.W. Extension programs of
l^SCC.?*'
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.

Procedure;
*
I. Survey through County Extension Offices to determine individual
;nt to participate in the educational program, if conveniently located
timed. Determine:
1. Specific type(s) of pest control concerned. This will establish
the "load" in various categories of specialization.
2. Pest control-related work to be done (i.e., seller, custom applica-
tor, consultant, farmer, householder, etc.) \j
II. Develop educational programs for all specializations found by •• >
re survey. Kany.general principles will be identical for all specializa-
is. i An overall guide for developing pertinent aspects of programs is as
.ows:
Compet encies Needed for Pest Control
Acquaintance with pest control regulations.

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

(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

artment may designate the University of Wisconsin Extension as
agency responsible for the coordination of educational and
'.ning programs for pesticide applicators and operators in co-
ration with the department and other qualified persons or
(6) EXEMPTIONS. (a) Governmental employes engaged only in
use or application of restricted use pesticides as part of
,r employment for research or other purposes, and other research
onnel engaged in the use of restricted use pesticides for re-
-ch purposes only, shall be exempt from bonding and security re-
•ements and the payment of certification fees, and may further
