PART 165_PESTICIDE MANAGEMENT AND DISPOSAL--Table of Contents
 
        Subpart E_Standards for Pesticide Containment Structures
 
Sec. 165.80  General provisions.


    (a) What is the purpose of the regulations in this subpart? The 
purpose of the containment regulations in this subpart is to protect 
human health and the environment from exposure to agricultural 
pesticides which may spill or leak from stationary pesticide containers. 
This protection is achieved by the construction of secondary containment 
units or pads at certain facilities handling agricultural pesticides. 
These regulations will also reduce waste generation associated with:
    (1) Storage and handling of large quantities of pesticide products.
    (2) Pesticide dispensing and container-refilling operations.
    (b) Do I have to comply with the regulations in this subpart? You 
must comply with the regulations in this subpart if you are an owner or 
operator of one of the following businesses and if you also have a 
stationary pesticide container or a pesticide dispensing (including 
container refilling) area:
    (1) Refilling establishments who repackage agricultural pesticides 
and whose principal business is retail sale (i.e., more that 50% of 
total annual revenue comes from retail operations).
    (2) Custom blenders of agricultural pesticides.
    (3) Businesses which apply an agricultural pesticide for 
compensation (other than trading of personal services between 
agricultural producers).
    (c) When do I have to comply? You must comply with all applicable 
containment regulations for new and existing structures as of August 17, 
2009.
