| Abstract/Contents: | "The place on the golf course where pesticides are loaded into application equipment, mowers and other pieces of equipment are serviced, and pesticides, fuel, fertilizer, and cleaning solvents are store is the golf course maintenance area. This is the place where contamination of soil, surface water, or ground water is most likely to occur. Contamination can occur when pesticides are spilled, containers or equipment cleaned and the rinsewater dumped on the ground or discharged into surface water, or uncleaned containers stockpiled or buried. Proper management of the maintenance area is an important part of responsible pesticide and chemical use. Use of poor practices at these sites can lead to serious environmental and liability problems, poor public image for golf courses, and penalties and fines. There are management practices that can be implemented at these maintenance areas that will prevent the contamination of soil, surface water, and ground water by the materials stored and handled at these sites. These "Best Management Practices" or BMPs are described in this document." |
