Section 250.160  Permits

a)         The Director may declare a pesticide sale, use application within or shipment into the State prohibited without prior permit.  A permit for sale, use or shipment is required for pesticides that USEPA has ordered registration cancelled or suspended even when such order provides for specific continued use registration, an orderly phase out of uses and/or continued use until current inventories are exhausted.

b)         The following pesticides must be accompanied by a permit:

1)         Dichloro diphenyl trichlorethane (DDT);

2)         Sodium fluoroacetate (Compound 1080);

3)         Fluoroacetamide (Compound 1081);

c)         A pesticide permit to allow the sale, use application or shipment of any pesticide determined to be a permitted pesticide, when such sale, use, application or shipment is in conjunction with a public health pest control problem or a structural pest control problem, may be issued by the Director of the Department of Public Health after consulting the Director of the Department of Agriculture.  In other instances the Director of Agriculture will issue said permit after considering USEPA registration action, information relative to toxicity and environmental hazards, and other factors meriting consideration, including but not limited to, public health and welfare, past performance of applicant and economic matters.

d)         Application to sell, use, apply or ship pesticides requiring a permit shall be made to the respective responsible agency on forms provided by that agency.

e)         No pesticide permit will be issued contrary to USEPA product registration standards (40 U.S.C. 136a).

f)         A pesticide permit will be valid for a limited period sufficient to control the pest but under no circumstances shall that period exceed one year.  Such permit will specify the quantity of pesticides permitted, the purpose for which this pesticide is needed, and any conditions imposed by the Director in granting said permit.

g)         There is no charge for the pesticide permit.
