HERBICIDES. Licensee shall not use herbicides, other pesticides, growth inhibitors, or other toxic chemicals on the Property without the prior written consent of the Town.
HERBICIDES. Herbicides should be used sparingly and primarily as a tool to maintain cover and food producing plants such as shrubs and forbs, and the insects that require them. Herbicides should be used only when habitat goals cannot be achieved by other means. Where grazing management (i.e., stocking rate) is appropriate for the productive capabilities of the land and fire is periodically used to direct grazing and balance shrub canopy and height, herbicides should only be necessary to control invasive nonnative plants. Invasive, non-native plants, such as Cynodon dactylon (Bermuda grass), Bothriochloa spp. (Old World bluestems), Elaeagnus angustifolia (Russian olive), E. umbellata (autumn olive), and other exotic species are of no value to the LEPC, and as their density increases on the landscape, the value of the habitat for LEPC diminishes. Additionally chemical control of native brush species, like Robinia pseudoacacia (black locust) and Maclura pomifera (Osage orange), which did not historically occur in native prairies used by LEPC may be recommended (see also section on brush management below). If necessary to use herbicides on shinnery oak, the goal should be to temporarily reduce shinnery oak competition with grasses. Herbicides should be used only at dosages that would defoliate shinnery oak and not kill it. Application should follow natural landscape patterns and large block and linear applications should be avoided. When herbicide use is deemed appropriate, spot treatment of target plants (rather than broadcast application) is preferred.
HERBICIDES. Pre-emergent chemicals shall be used in the appropriate amounts and appropriate times to prevent intrusion into the greens from undesirable plant species such as Goosegrass and Crabgrass.
HERBICIDES. Apply as directed to actively growing areas an approved herbicide. Spray only in calm conditions and prevent spray drift onto adjoining planting. Do not spray within 3 days after a cut, when rain is imminent or during drought conditions. Allow at least 3 days to elapse before cutting grass.
HERBICIDES. 1. Contractor may use herbicides to kill all weeds and foreign grasses. Use and application shall be in strict compliance with the manufacturer's label directions and in accordance with Miami-Dade County’s Landscape Ordinance and Florida- Friendly Landscaping Program principles.
2. Herbicides may be used only with prior approval by the City’s representative as to type, location, and method of application. Any proposed changes in herbicide usage shall be submitted for the Project Manager’s approval at least five (5) working days in advance of the anticipated usage.
3. Contractor shall only utilize herbicides registered by the EPA, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services' Bureau of Pesticides, and those approved by the Miami-Dade County Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM). The use and application of any pesticides must comply with Chapter 487 of the Florida Statutes, Chapter 5E-2 of the Florida Administrative Code, and Miami-Dade County’s Fertilizer and Pesticide Ordinance.
4. The Contractor shall exercise extreme care so as not to overspray and affect areas not intended for treatment. Areas adversely affected by such overspray shall be restored at the Contractor's expense. The Contractor shall be responsible for submitting a copy of their herbicide application license and any additional permits required by Miami-Dade County with this RFP.
5. Contractor shall maintain records of all herbicide usage on a Contractor-provided form, which must meet Miami-Dade County reporting standards. This form shall be filled out as weed control operations are performed, and all entries must be available for inspection upon request by the Project Manager or Miami-Dade County inspectors.
6. The dead plant material produced by the application of herbicides must be removed and properly discarded on the next scheduled maintenance period, following Miami- Dade County's waste management regulations.
HERBICIDES. The Contractor shall not use any herbicide products on WPCB facilities unless such activities are part of contracted work, workers are specifically trained and licensed to use/apply the product, and prior approval for use of the product has been obtained from the WPCB EMS administrator, Safety Specialist/desginee, and the Operationls manager/designee (all three are required). The Herbicide Control Contractor shall provide a copy of the MSDS for any chemicals t be used for plant control at the WPCB. Care shall be taken by the Contractor to ensure that no persons are exposed to herbicide products while plant control wotk is being performed at WPCB facilities. In addition, the Contractor shall take all ncessary mesaures to prevent the herbicide from entering the process streams in the WPCB facilities unless the process stream is the prior determined target for the aplication of the herbicide. Also, the Contractor shall take all ncessary measures to prevent the herbicide from entereing the storm drainage system and the receiving waters.
