B.  LEGISLATION DEFICIENCIES

    Minnesota does not have a private applicator law.

    The Administrative Assistant for the Agriculture Department has
    suggested it is possible the current Economic Poisons  and Devices
    Law can be utilized to  regulate  private  applicators.   The fee
    provision may have to be clarified.   No  official  opinion  on this
    subject is available, however.

    Pesticides are not classified as general  use and/or  restricted use.

    Certification is  not required by the State.   However,  no  person may
    apply  economic or restricted use pesticides  for  hire or compensation
    without being licensed  by the commissioner of agriculture.
                             -27-

-------
C.  TIMETABLE FOR ENABLING LEGISLATION

    The status of the enabling legislation  timetable is uncertain
    at this time as none has been proposed.   It is  anticipated some
    legislative review committees will  consider the problem during
    late summer or early fall  of 1973.   It  is doubtful  if a proposal
    will be submitted to the Legislature if only farmers are
    considered to be private applicators.   Following adjournment of
    the Legislature, the subject will  be reviewed with  Region  and
    State personnel  and action considered.

D.  INDEX OF STATE AGENCIES

    1.   Department of Agriculture
        State Office Building
        St.  Paul,  Minnesota   55155

        a.   Scope  of Responsibilities

            The DA is responsible for regulating  agricultural  and food
            industries associated with various  aspects  of production,
            processing,  manufacturing*warehousing and marketing  of
            agricultural  commodities.   Also,  the  department  investigates
            marketing conditions, assists  farmers,  producers and
            consumers in the  organization  and management  of  cooperative
            enterprises,  and  enforces laws designed to  protect public
            health and the environment.

            Various laws  assigned to  the department for enforcement
            provide the  Commissioner  with  basic regulatory powers.
            Also,  the Legislature has given the Commissioner the power
            to  enact rules and  regulations which enable  him to  clarify
            the law and  cope  with changing conditions.

            The department has ten divisiore and of these Agronomy
            Services,  Laboratory Services  ard the Plant Industry
                            -29-

-------
    Divisions are involved in pesticide problems.

    The Agronomy Services Division administers all laws,
    rules, and regulations relating to the manufacture,
    sale, and distribution of economic poisons and
    related products.  District and area inspectors
    aid in inspection.

    Regulatory programs for the protection of agricultural
    crops and forests are the responsibility of the Plant
    Industry Division.
    The Laboratory Services Division functions as a
    service division to the regulatory divisions;
    special analysis and assays are conducted.

c.  Manpower and Funding

    (1)  Manpower
         The Department of Agriculture employs about
         120 individuals who have contact with pesticide
         problems.   This figure represents 102 field
         inspectors and personnel located at adminis-
         trative facilities.  Division specialists
         are also available for consultation.

         The Director of the General  Services  Laboratory
         has indicated facilities very adequate to
         resolve analytical  problems.
                    -32-

-------
         Pesticide problems relating to activities in
         other departments are resolved cooperatively.

    (2)  Funding
         Pesticide activities are funded through general
         appropriations and specific details are
         difficult to establish.  Department officials
         estimate $120,000 of the total budget is
         directly related to pesticides.
d.  Operational Programs and Commitments

    The Department of Agriculture has been consulted
    by Cooperative Extension personnel  to assist in
    preparing a training preproposal for private
                            0
    applicators.
    PASS is operational and remains a commitment but
    progress has been slow.
    Region V personnel  have participated in several
    training sessions and/or conferences, discussing
    EPA and FEPCA.

    Pesticide disposal  has been discussed and Minnesota
    has been encouraged to develop regulations providing
    for safe disposal  of pesticides. Currently, EPA is
                     -33-

-------
        acting in an advisory role concerning proper disposal
        of 4 drums (33 or 55 gal.) of arsenic and some
        arsenic contaminated soil.  Preliminary inquiries
        identifying storage facilities for excess pesticides
        have been initiated.

        Discussions have also been held on tank mixes,
        special local needs, and classification of pesticides.
2.  Department of Health
    717 Delaware Street, SE
    Minneapolis, Minnesota  55440

    a.   Scope of Responsibilities

        Pesticide related problems in the Department of
        Health are minimal.   Prior to 1972,  pesticide
        activities were confined to collection  of  poison
        statistics.   Some interest in PASS has  been  expressed
        by environmental health officials.

c.  Manpower and Funding

    Other than the individuals named above, there are
    no others involved in pesticides use programs.
    Also, there is no information on funding because
    of lack of participation.

d.  Operational Programs and Commitments

    Mr. Heisel supervises the  activities of several
    Sections including water supply, hotels, industrial
    hygiene,  radiation and analytical  services and
    has provided consultation  for initiating PASS.
    To date, little effort has been expended, however,
    because of lack of concern in the Department with
    pesticide problems.

    Mr. Coleman is coordinating PASS activities but  is
    in need of financial  assistance.

    Mr. Olson, working with limited funds,  personnel
                     -35-

        and time, has been providing Poison Control Center
        reports.

3.  Department of Natural
    Centennial Office Building
    St. Paul, Minnesota
    a.  Scope of Responsibilities

        Officials of this agency are concerned with
        contamination of rivers, lakes, streams, forests
        and other environmental areas.   Laboratory facilities
        are available for bioassays and sample determina-
        tions.  Problems are referred to officials in  the
        Department of Agriculture and cooperative action
        is taken  as required.   Pesticide episodes are  few.

c.  Manpower and Funding

    DNR officials have experienced few problems with
    pesticide misuse.  However, staff members and
    facilities are available to assist in monitoring
    studies.  Residue and water samples are analyzed
    as required to assess pesticide contamination.
    Total amount of time devoted exclusively to
    pesticide problems is insignificant.  None of
    DNRs budget is earmarked exlusively for pesticide
    activities.

d.  Operational  Programs and Commitments

    Aside from routine fish, wildlife and environmental
    monitoring studies and PASS participation, DNR
    personnel are not engaged in pesticide related activities.
                      -37-

    a.  Scope of Responsibilities

        Minnesota PCA has the overall responsibility of
        ensuring clean air, water and soil, plus proper
        disposal of solid waste.  Noise, radiation and
        other environmental contaminants are also of
        concern to MPCA.
        The MPCA is encouraging development of commercial
        disposal facilities, especially incinerators.
        Permits are issued to companies with facilities
        meeting state air and water standards.   Federal
        recommended procedures for disposal  are also
        considered.
        "Resolution of disposal problems may  be  through
        cooperative efforts of other state agencies,
        especially the Department of Agriculture.

         Within MPCA, there are about 10 staff members
         available for pesticide related activities.
         None of  these individual devote all  of their
         time to  pesticide problems; they are called
         on as required by project itterest and
         magnitude.

    (2)  Funding

         MPCA does not have a pesticitfe  budget.
                      -39-

-------
    d. Operational Programs and Commitments

        Special Services personnel are monitoring pesticide
        use and misuse.  Episodes are investigated by the
        staff or in cooperation with Department of Agriculture
        officials.  Region V received PERF's thru agriculture.
        Destruction and/or disposal of excess pesticides and
        pesticide containers through incineration or
        landfill is an on going project.  Several landfills
        have been identified as meeting MPCA standards.
        Officials of commercial incinerating company are
        seeking a permit to incinerate pesticides.

MINNESOTA PESTICIDE PROFILE



          PART II





       AUGUST, 1973

-------
                  MINNESOTA PESTICIDE PROFILE
                            PART II

A.  INDEX INTRASTATE REGISTERED PRODUCTS AND EXPERIMENTAL PERMITS
    1.  Intrastate registered products

        a.  Registered products

            Minnesota does not have a separate list of intra-
            state registered products or experimental  permit
            products.  According to registration officials,
            very few pesticides are marketed only intrastate.

            Approximately 600 companies are registered with
            the State Department of Agriculture and are eligible
            to produce, formulate, manufacture or distribute
            pesticides within Minneosta.   Companies are located
            both within and outside the State.  These  companies
            registered 4,445 products in  1973.
        b.  Experimental  permits

            Minnesota does not require registration of experi-
            mental  permit products.  However,  companies
            desiring to conduct research  may seek State approval
            for research  and, if so, registration for  experimental

                              -49-

-------
products is the same as for products being sold
or distributed.  The State uses the Federal experi-
mental permit number to identify companies and pro-
ducts seeking this type of registration.  In 1973,
less than 10 products have been identified as
experimentals.

Also, the State may or may not require progress
reports, identification of individuals conducting
the research, volume of product involved, location,
etc.  Toxicology and environmental  considerations
usually dictate the need for reports.
               -50-

-------
B.  INDEX PRODUCERS, MANUFACTURERS AND FORMULATORS
    There are approximately 600 producers, manufacturers, and
    formulators in Minnesota.   A separate list is available in the
    Regional Office.

    According to Region V files, 93 firms with Federal  identification
    numbers within Minnesota are marketing or formulating 1078
    products for distribution  in intra- and inter- state channels.
    There are no lists indicating where the products are marketed,
    however.  A compilation of the companies is presented on the
    following pages.

C.  USE DATA ON PRESTICIDES;  APPLICATORS                                    §

    1.  Use Data on Pesticides

        Crop losses from insect damage in 1970 - 71  was                      i
        estimated to be about $35,000,000.   Corn borers,                     :
        rootworms, grasshoppers, army worms  and various
        beetles are perennial pests.                                         •

        Over 50 insects and diseases  contribute to forest
        losses.  Among these  are the  spruce  budworm, forest                 j
        tent catepillar, large aspen  tortrix and pine tussock               j
        moth.   Light traps, field survey and vehicle                        !
        inspection are utilized to detect problems.                          ;
                                                                            j
        White  pine blister rust and Dutch elm disease
        control programs are  active.

        Inspection of international ships have revealed
        over 20 foreign plant pests.

        Weed control  is an essential  part of Minnesota
        agriculture.   Each of the States 51,206,000  acres
        of land is subject to infestation by noxious weeds.
        There  are approximately 6,800 Township, City,
        Village,  District and County  Agricultural  Inspectors
                        -61-

in the State.  Numerous training sessions are held
annually in which current laws, regulations, weed
identification and chemicals approved for control
are discussed.

Beekeepers number 1,200 in Minnesota.  Pollination
service is valued at 80 million dollars while returns
for honey and wax is 4.4 million dollars.  This
industry is third largest in the nation.  Pesticides
cause some damage annually.

Minnesota resumed fifth place in total cash receipts
including government payments received by farmers
in 1971.  The importance of the State's agriculture
is shown by the following rankings:  First - In the
production of butter, non-fat dry milk, oats, timothy
seed and turkeys raised; Second - In American Cheese,
sweet corn for processing, and all  hay production;
Third - For number of milk cows, production of green
peas for processing, honey and flaxseed; Fourth - In
milk, corn for grain, barley and rye produced;  Fifth -
for cash farm income, number of hogs on farms,  size
of pig crop, and production of sugar beets and  red
clover seed; Sixth - In cash receipts from livestock
and livestock products, all  potatoes produced and
number of hogs marketed.

             com. soybeaos, small grains, ha',,  flax and sunflowers was treated for the con-
             trol of weeds and/or insects.  Corn had rhe largest share of its acreage treated -

      About  82 percent  of the acreage treated with herbicides was st'lf-applied by the farmers, with the remaining acreage treated h.
  custom operators.  For all crops,  65 percent of the  reports indicated  that the herbicides were broadcast applied (either surface ap-
  plied or incorporated into the soil).  The remaining  35 percent was band applied.  For the row crops of  coin and soybeans. -',i. per-
  cent  of the herbicides were surface  applied. 8 percent incorporated  into the soil  and  46 percent was banded over the row.  Good
  resulu were obtained b> 73 percent of the farmers who applied herbicides while 23 percent reported  fait results  and 4  percent poor
  results. (                                         •                                                                      ;

                  A more detailed repoit for Minnesota is available upon request from this office.
    The Governors of trie States of Illinois. Indiana, Michigan,  Minnesota and Wisconsin in 19G9 requested that annual pesticide
    jurveys be made to collect and publish information on the use o,' pesticides in agriculture.  This report,  the fourth to be is-
    «ued by Minnesota, briefly summarizes the use of pesticides by  Minnesota farmers on corn,  soybeans, small grains, hay. flax
    and sunflowers in 1972.

    Cooperating in this survey were over 4. 000 farmers who made voluntary  reports,  staff members of the Institute of Agriculture
    of the  UnUetstty of Minnesota and the Minnesota Department of Agriculture.  The Minnesota Crop and Livestock Repotting
    Service conducted tlie  survey and summarized its results.

Mosquito Control in Other Minnesota Cities & Villages - 1972

Thirty-four cities and villages treated at least once for adult
mosquito control during the 1972 season.  It is estimated that
80,000 acres were treated.  Twenty municipalities used mist
blowers, 9 by foggers, 4 were treated by air,  and one municipality
used a hydraulic sprayer.  Total population of treated municipalities
was 177,000.  Malathion, carbaryl, Dibrora, and Baytex were the
principal chemicals used.

  •'armers in Illinois. Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin treated-62 percent  of the field crop acreage har-
  ed in the four participating States during 1971.  When the Lake States pesticide survey was first initiated in
  , the proportion of treated acreage was 54  percent.  Indiana was unable to take part in the 1971 survey.

  Ml totaled, slightly more than 33 million  acres  of the  eight major field crops received either herbicide or
  cticide treatment in 1971. As previously, the use of herbicides was much more prevalent than insecticides,
  margin being 4 to 1.  Of the  crops surveyed, corn represented nearly three-fifths of the total acres treated
  pesticides.  Corn also had the highest proportion of treated acreage (87 percent) in the four States, followed
  oybeans (75 percent).   Nearly half the  small grain acreage was treated with pesticides in  1971, although 80
  :ent of the usage took place in Minnesota. Only 3 percent of the hayacreage was treated.

  The rate of application remained about the same as a year ago.  FIST the most part, farmers rriade no signi-
  nt shifts  among individual chemicals.  Custom application of pesaicides continued  to  be  fairly low.   The
 hod of application varied according to State.  However, surface 'broadcast was the method used most often
 herbicides and  band placement, likewise  for insecticides.

 As  in past years, the primary use  of. pesticides was for the corttevol  of weeds.   Herbicide application ac-
 nted for  nearly four-fifths of the treated acreage  in the four partcipating States. Insecticides were used on
 >t of the other acres, with less than one  percent treated for control zf diseases.

 Farmers in the  four-State region  harvested an estimated  53. 6 millim acres of corn, small grains, soybeans
  hay, plus dry beans  (Michigan),   flax (Minnesota) and tobacco  (Wisconsin) in 1971.  Of this total, approxi-
 :cly 33.2  million acres received herbicide and/or insecticide treatmwit.  Treated acreage for the four States
 971 increased 15 percent over 1970.  The total harvested acreage *es up 5 percent from a year ago.   Corn
 passed all the other crops in the proportion of acres treated for wdwis and insects.  Corn  growers treated
 roximately 87 percent of their corn acreage  with pesticides.  Hay VKS at the other end of the spectrum,' with
y 3 percent of the harvested acreage treated.  The .proportions  of i.mall  grains (49 percent),  soybeans (75
 cent) and others (78 percent) fell in between.   About three-fifths of He  hay treated  in the four States  was  in
:higan, while four-fifths  of the small grain acreage  treated were in.Vjlinnesota.  Illinois  had the highest pro-
 tion of treated acreage (74 percent), Wisconsin the lowest (35 perccw).  Michigan  treated 60 percent  of its
\1 harvested acreage, Minnesota treated 62 percent.

  irvcy results indicate propachlor (Ramrod) was the most popular pre-emergence herbicide applied to corn
  nncsota, accounting for  over 58 percent  of the acreage treated with  pre-emergence herbicides.  Atrazine
  ex) was used on 26 percent of the treated acreage and  Lasso on rnore than 6 percent of the acreage.  These
   chemicals together accounted for nearly 9!  percent of the herbicides applied  pre-emergence to corn in
  esota.  Propachlor  was also the Icadine herbicide  used pre-emcrgence in Illinois, but atrazine (Aatrex)
  he leading herbicide in Michigan and Wisconsin.
                                                                               •
  larbofuran (Furadan) was the leading pre-emergence insecticide  on corn in Minnesota and Wisconsin, with
  n the most popular in Illinois and Michigan.  In Minnesota carbofuran accounted for  nearly 36 percent of the
  ed acreage and  Bux over  20 percent.
                                                                             •

The most frequently reported herbicide applied to small grains in Minnesota was MCPA, closely followed by
-D Amine.  In the  other three States,  2, 4-D was the  leading  herbicide applied to small grains. Minnesota
vested over 56 percent of the small grains in the four States, but accounted for more than 83  percent of the
1 acreage treated with herbicides in the four States.                                    .

Michigan was the  only  State treating any significant proportion of its small grain acreage with  insecticides.
•mers in Minnesota treated only an  estimated 4,000 acres of small grains,  less than one-tenth of one percent
ic harvested acreage with insecticides.

HAY

   The acreage of hay treated in the four States wss
not larpe.  Of the 3,250,000 acres of land from which
hay was harvested  in Minnesota,  only  an c 5iirr.2.Lt;u
12,000 acres were treated with herbicides.

    Michigan accounted  for  the majority of the acre-
age of hay which was treated with  insecticides in
1971.  Michigan and Illinois collectively accoumeu
for nearly 95 percent of the acreage treated with in-
secticides.

FLAX
  •  Minnesota farmers treated an estimated 143,000
acres or nearly  60  percent of the harvested acreage
with herbicides in 1971.  There were  no reports of
insecticides applied to flax.

8.  Applicators
    Minnesota does not require certification of private
    applicators.
    The State generally classifies pesticide applicators
    as custom spraying and dusting applicators or as struc-
    tural pest control applicators.  Approximately 197
    individuals or companies have qualified as licensed
    custom pesticide applicators.  Categories include:

    a.  Aerial
    b.  Ground

    c.  Herbicide
    d.  Insecticide - Fungicide
    e.  Turf
    f.  Aquatic
    Structural pest control  operators are classified as
    Master,  Journeyman,  Apprentice or Fumigator pest control
    operators and written exams are required  for each.
                        -83-

-------

-------
D.  REGISTRATION AND CLASSIFICATION

    1.   Registration

        Any person before selling or offering for sale any
        economic poison or device shall  file an application
        for registration annually with the commissioner of
        agriculture.  Application must include pertinent
        information on product and manufacturing and be
        accompanied by a $7.00 fee for each product.   All
        applications must be renewed annually on 1  January.

    2.   Classification

        a.   Economic Poison

            Economic Poison, shall  include any substance
            or mixtures of substances  intended for  use in
            preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating
            any and all  insects,  rodents,  fungi  (including
            bacteria), weeds,  and other  forms of plant or
            animal  life which  the commissioner of agriculture
            shall  declare to be a pest.
                              -84-

-------

-------
b.  Restricted use pesticide

    Restricted use pesticide is defined in AGR 349
    as any pesticide formulation or device which
    when applied in accordance with the directions
    for use, warning and caution and for the uses
    for which it is registered, requires additional
    restrictions as to rates, areas, times and con-
    ditions of use as specified by these regulations
    to prevent substantial  adverse effects on the
    environment including man, pollinating insects,
    animals, crops, wildlife, and land, other than
    pests it is intended to prevent, destroy, control
    or mitigate.

    Sellers of restricted use pesticides must be
    licensed.  The $20.00 fee, plus the $7.00 regis-
    tration fee revert to the general  fund.

    Restricted use pesticides include:
    (1)  DDT

    (2)  ODD or TDE

    (3)  Aldrin
                      -85-

-------

-------
    (4)  Endrin

    (5)  Dieldrin

    (6)  Heptachlor

    (7)  Lindane

    (8)  Sodium arsenite

    (9)  Calcium arsenite

   (10)  Lead arsenate

   (11)  Sodium arsenate

   (12)  Arsenic trioxide

   (13)  Arsenic acid

   (14)  Arsenic pentoxide

   (15)  Mercury and mercury compounds

c.  Revision of restricted use pesticides

    Minnesota anticipates revising restricted  pesticides
    list following formal calssification of pesticides
    by EPA.   EPA's proposed classification  draft  No.  1
                     -86-

-------

-------
    submitted to the public for review has been criti-
    cized extensively by Minnesota Department of
    Agriculture officials and representatives from
    industry, especially the criteria for herbicides.
d.  Structural pest control restricted use pesticides

    Sodium fluoroacetate (1080) and thallium sulphate
    are restricted in use.   Special written authori-
    zation from the commissioner is required for use
    of 1080.
    (1)  Sodium Fluoroacetate "Compound 1080" shall
         mean sodium fluoroacetate or any mixutre,
         formulation, dilution, or combination thereof.
         It shall  be kept in custody, and used under
         the  direct supervision of a master structural
         pest control operator.  The use of soft drink
         bottles or other food type container for
         storing "1080"  is  prohibited;  it must be
         kept in locked  cabinet.   Use of "1080"  in
         dwellings is prohibited.
                     -87-

-------

-------
(2)   Thallium sulphate shall  not  be  used in  structural
     pest control  except when applied in a locked,
     secured rodent box placed by a  licensed
     structural  pest control  operator.
                 -88-

MINNESOTA PESTICIDE PROFILE

                  MINNESOTA PESTICIDE PROFILE
                           PART III

A.  REGIONAL/STATE SPECIAL PROBLEMS

    1.   PASS

        PASS remains the primary problem among Minnesota coop-
        erators.  It has been discussed on several  occasions,
        but acceptance remains poor.  However, officials have
        indicated a willingness to cooperate.  Several  people
        have expressed interest in EPA utilization  of the
        National Poison Control Center Clearinghouse system
        for reporting pesticide incidents.  Currently,  there
        is  no  established system capable of channeling reports
        to a focal point ofther than the clearinghouse system.
        Reports of accidents  and the magnitude of each, to
        date, have been insignificant for all agencies  except
        for agriculture.  EPA supportive funds probably would
        alleviate this problem.  Also, State officials  are
        waiting for EPA's PASS review before establishing a
        formal  program.
                              -90-

-------

-------
2.  Training

    One training preproposal has been forwarded to Headquarters

    Cooperative Extension Service Personnel have excellent
    educational and training program.  Pesticide users are
    required to attend specific courses to qualify for
    licensing.

3.  Request for Information

    State officials find it hard to understand why Head-
    quarters can not manage programs more efficiently and
    provide reasonable time for review of and response to
    EPA's numerous requests for information.

    Many officials are critical  of the quality of Xerox
    copies prepared by Headquarters.
                        -91-

-------

-------
B.  SPECIAL LOCAL NEEDS

    1.   Local Needs

        Minor corps, residue information and expansion of label
        claims continue to be problem areas.  Recently, an
        attempt was made to obtain an emergency registration
        for toxaphene on sunflowers because of an outbreak of
        thistle caterpillars.  Toxaphene has a registration on
        soybeans; both are oil  seed crops.
        Seed borne diseases on  cereals are  of concern in the
        State, but there is little interest from industry.
        Leaf spot, Helminthosporium, and stem rot are of concern
        on pinto bean, rutabagas  and wild rice, respectively.

        Custom applicators and  tank mixes were considered to
        be local problems  until the opinion from Headquarters
        was received recently.
    2.   Pesticide Disposal

        Arsenic was detected in well  water  near Perham, Minnesota
        about ten months ago.  Some people  have been  hospitalized
        for short periods.   This  problem has been reviewed by
        EPA and State personnel in addition to having been
                             -92-

-------

-------
presented to a legislative review committee.  To date,
the State has failed to take positive action.

On 26 June, agriculture officials reported that between
2 1/2 and 4 1/2 steel drums (size not known) containing
arsenic believed to be at least 35 years old were found.
Agriculture is interested in disposing of the material
by incorporating it into the road bed of new construction,
but there is not complete accord.
A commercial incineration firm has applied to Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency for a permit to incinerate
pesticides.  Lack of official  EPA regulations has been
cited as reason for not granting the permit.  Publication
of EPA's Proposed Guidelines should prove to be a
valuable aid in resoltuion of this situation.  The firm
in question has 2 or 3 commercial sites in the United States
and anticipates additional facilities.
                     -93-

-------

-------
C.  REGIONAL/STATE PROGRAM STRATEGIES

    1.  Health

        A committee in the Department of Health is attempting
        to devise procedures whereby PASS will  full fill  EPA
        objectives.

    2.  Intrastate Pesticide Registrations

        Minnesota does not identify registered  products  as  being
        interstate or intrastate registrations.  Assemblage of
        intrastate data at this  time would be a laborious and
        costly task and probably would serve little  function.
        The State is aware of the FEPCA timetable for this  pro-
        vision and anticipates advising manufacturers of their
        intentions late in 1973.
                            -94-
