Pesticide and Herbicide Use. The Reserve utilizes Integrated Pest Management ("IPM") to treat pest problems. The goal of IPM is to use the least-toxic, effective methods of controlling pests. Lessee shall not use any pesticides that do not comply with the IPM program. To this end, Xxxxxx shall submit in writing to Lessor a request for the use of pesticide(s) 30 days in advance of the proposed use, and shall not use any pesticide(s), including topical insecticide(s) and herbicide(s), until Xxxxxx has received an express written authorization therefore from Lessor. Lessee shall manage, treat, generate, handle, store and dispose of all pesticides in accordance with Applicable Laws, including reporting requirements. Each year, the lessee will provide NPS with the quantity of pesticides applied (name, volume, approximate location).
Pesticide and Herbicide Use. Application of pesticides and herbicides at NP units is a highly regulated process. For most sites use is minimal, the exceptions being units with major agricultural leases (Antietam NB, Gettysburg NMP, Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania NM, and Monocacy NB). Based upon published or extrapolated wildlife toxicology data for the chemicals applied in quantities exceeding 4 hectares of treatment, the most hazardous compounds include pendimethalin, ammonium soaps/fatty acids, propiconazole, and fluazifop-butyl. Toxicity data and hazard rankings suggest that amphibians are the terrestrial vertebrate class at greatest risk. For example, some compounds known to be moderately to highly toxic to amphibians and birds are used at NP units (Antietam NB, Gettysburg NMP, Harpers Ferry NHP, Hopewell Furnace NHS, Monocacy NB, Richmond NBP, Rock Creek Park, and Shenandoah NP). Small quantities (1 hectare of treatment for adelgid control) of imidacloprid are used at Shenandoah NP and this chemical is believed to be highly toxic to birds and mammals. It appears that the pesticides and herbicides used at several urban units (including National Mall & Memorial Parks, National Capital Parks- East, Wolf Trap NP, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx MP, and Manassas NB) are of low toxicity, and do not pose a significant threat to terrestrial vertebrates.
Pesticide and Herbicide Use. Application of any pesticides or herbicides by Declarant to meet the obligations of this Agreement shall be minimal and in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations and in accordance with any restrictions imposed upon such use or application by the City Engineer or his designee.
Pesticide and Herbicide Use. Pesticide or herbicide use with no effect to historic properties. Existing timber stands, trails, utility corridors, or other undertakings scheduled for herbicide site preparation where no historic properties are affected may be excluded. In these cases, the action will consist of the application of herbicide to control undesirable or invasive vegetation. In some cases, herbicide treatment will be used in conjunction with tree cut-and-leave treatments.

Lessee shall not use any pesticides that do not comply with the IPM program. To this end, Xxxxxx shall submit in writing to Lessor a request for the use of pesticide(s) 30 days in advance of the proposed use, and shall not use any pesticide(s), including topical insecticide(s) and herbicide(s), until Xxxxxx has received an express written authorization from Lessor. In circumstances where rapidly emerging pest control issues require urgent treatment, the Lessee must notify the NPS when requesting use that the issue is emergent and requires expedited approval. The NPS will respond to expedited approval requests within five (5) business days. Lessee shall manage, treat, generate, handle, store and dispose of all pesticides in accordance with Applicable Laws, including reporting requirements. Within 30 (thirty) days after the end of each Lease Year, the Lessee shall provide to the NPS a report of all pesticides applied to the Premises during the previous calendar year. The report shall include the name, volume, and approximate location for all pesticides applied.
