Herbicide use Clause Samples
The Herbicide Use clause sets out the rules and limitations regarding the application of herbicides on a property or within the scope of an agreement. It typically specifies which types of herbicides may be used, who is authorized to apply them, and any required safety or environmental precautions, such as notification requirements or restrictions near sensitive areas. This clause ensures that herbicide application is conducted safely and responsibly, minimizing environmental impact and clarifying responsibilities to prevent disputes or regulatory violations.
Herbicide use. Broadcast herbicides (both sprays and granular forms) are generally not recommended as they can cause spalling or staining of monuments. To avoid damaging headstones and fences, herbicide can be painted onto the cut ends of removed vines, saplings, etc. with a small paintbrush to discourage regrowth. Be sure to read all directions and use safety gear.
Herbicide use. Herbicides used on Site shall be cleared with the Mpumalanga Provincial Department of Agriculture (M-DALA) now called the Mpumalanga Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism (MDEDET) prior to application. Only a person who is certified Pest Control Officer (PCO) shall apply the herbicide.
Herbicide use. In some locations, the control of exotic species, through manual removal, mowing, or prescribed burning may not be feasible and the use of herbicides may be most appropriate. Therefore, this consultation will also address issuance of permits covering use of the herbicides with the following active ingredients: glyphosate, sulfmeturon methyl, and triclopyr, with Entry II used as a surfactant. Herbicides shall be applied using spot-treatment in the least intrusive manner possible, after lupine and nectar plants have senesced (Mid-August).
Herbicide use. The utilization of herbicide as a means of controlling grasses in archaeological sites is not permitted. However, it may be necessary to use herbicide to control or eradicate problem trees or shrubs. Applications shall be limited. Other ways to reduce growth of vegetation (e.g. weed cloths or salt-water sprays) may be utilized. 177 Kaneana ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 1933 no no 178 Kumuakuopio Heiau Thrum 1906 yes no 179 Koa fishing shrine ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 1933 no no 180 Kaahihi Heiau Thrum 1906 no no 181 Ukanipo Heiau Thrum 1906 yes no 182 Swimming Pool ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 1933 no no 183 Koa fishing shrine ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 1933 no no 4536 Walls/well ▇▇▇▇ et al. 1995 yes yes 4537 Complex ▇▇▇▇ et al. 1995 yes no 4538 Complex ▇▇▇▇ et al. 1995 yes no ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ et al. 1995 yes no 4540 Complex ▇▇▇▇ et. al 1995 no no 4541 Complex ▇▇▇▇ et al. 1995 yes 4542 Complex ▇▇▇▇ et al. 1995; ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇ 2001 yes no 4543 Complex ▇▇▇▇ et al. 1995; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al. 2002 yes no 4544 Complex ▇▇▇▇ et al. 1995; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al. 2002 yes yes 4545 Complex ▇▇▇▇ et al. 1995 yes no 4546 Complex ▇▇▇▇ et al. 1995; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Patolo 2000 yes no 4547 Complex ▇▇▇▇ et al. 1995; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al. 2002 yes no 4627 Complex ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al. 1996 no no 4628 Mound ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al. 1996 no no 4629 Mounds ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al. 1996 no no 4630 Complex ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al. 1996 no no 5456 Imu complex ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Patolo 2000 yes no 5587 Complex ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Patolo 2000 no no 5588 Terrace ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Patolo 2000 no no 5589 Terrace-platform ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Patolo 2000 no no 5590 Complex ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Patolo 2000 no yes 5595 Wall complex ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al. no no 5734 Enclosure ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al. 2002 no no 5735 Lithic scatter ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al. 2002 no no 5775 Complex ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al. 2000 no no 5776 Complex ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al. 2000 no no 5777 Mound ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al. 2000 no no 5778 Complex ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al. 2000 no no 5920 Complex ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇ 2001 no yes 5921 Complex ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇ 2001 no no 5922 Complex ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇ 2001 no no 5923 Complex ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇ 2001 no no 5924 Complex ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇ 2001 no no 5925 Complex ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇ 2001 no no 5926 Complex ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇ 2001 yes yes 5927 Retaining wall ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇ 2001 no no 5928 Retaining wall ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇ 2001 no no 5929 Bunker/gun emplacement ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇ 2001 no no 5930 Platforms ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇ 2001 no no 5931 Wall ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇ 2001 no no 5932 Path ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇ 2001 no no 9518 Trail ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 1977 no no 9520 (reassigned See above ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 1977 no

Herbicide use. Herbicide application, used alone or in combination with other methods, may be used where appropriate to provide a feasible and effective strategy for controlling invasive species and preparing sites for native plant restoration. Specific herbicides anticipated for restoration and management under this Agreement in occupied habitat (i.e., that supports either ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ lupine or Fender’s blue butterfly), or where occupied habitat may be affected, are described below. These herbicides were selected based upon their efficacy and relatively low risk to federally-listed species when applied as described. In addition to the guidelines specified for each herbicide below, the best management practices (BMPs) at the end of this section apply to all herbicide use anticipated under this Agreement.
Herbicide use. Invasive weed management will rely on manual removal methods first. However, if herbicide treatment is necessary, the application shall be timed for maximum effect while using the least amount of herbicide possible; typically, during periods of active growth or when weeds are in the seedling stage. Herbicide use shall target specific invasive non-native plants through a spot- spraying approach of individual plants, mats, or clumps/groupings and shall not be applied by broadcast spraying. Herbicide application(s) shall be timed so that target weeds are killed prior to seed production. Herbicides shall not be used within 20 feet of Monterey spineflower plants. Herbicide treatment shall be implemented according to the following best management practices (BMPs): o An individual certified by the California Department of Pesticide Regulation (CDPR) shall be contracted to implement invasive species removal via herbicide treatment. Herbicide shall only be applied by persons certified by the CDPR. o Individuals applying herbicides shall be knowledgeable of dune plant species and be capable of distinguishing between native plants and the target non-native species. Care shall be exercised to avoid overspray and damage to non-target plants. o All reasonable precautions shall be taken to protect the environment and human health and safety. Herbicides shall be applied in an environmentally safe manner. Herbicide use shall be directed narrowly at the target organism to avoid broad impacts on the ecosystem. o All conditions of herbicide labels shall be followed. o Herbicides shall not be applied during or within 24 hours prior to rain. o Drift shall be avoided by not applying herbicides under windy conditions (e.g., >10 miles per hour) and by using ground-based applicators, low tank pressures, and spray nozzles adjusted for larger droplet sizes, or other methods recommended by the licensed individual. Extra caution will be used when winds are between 5 and 10 miles per hour. o Herbicides shall not be mixed, loaded, rinsed, or stored near aquatic or other sensitive resources.
