The Commissioner of Agriculture has promulgated rules for facilities where pesticides and/or fertilizers are stored and handled in quantities that exceed minimum thresholds. The purpose of the rules is to prevent and/or contain spills and leaks that can potentially contaminate groundwater resources. The rules also establish standards for the construction and operation of bulk liquid and dry agricultural chemical storage facilities and mixing/loading areas. This summary covers key points of the rules and is meant to convey only a general overview; see Water Quality Control Concerning Agricultural Chemicals and Ground Water, 8 CCR 1206-1 for more information.
