Hazardous Substances Used in North Dakota AgricultureA-947 (Revised) Gregory K. Dahl, Extension Pesticide Program Specialist Definitions and Explanations This list has been prepared to help answer inquiries concerning hazardous substance reporting under Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA), Title III Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986. All efforts have been made to include pesticides commonly, or in some instances, not commonly used in North Dakota. A few pesticides are listed that have been cancelled by EPA. Such chemicals are listed because situations may occur in which they are being held in long-term storage and, due to container deterioration, are in danger of being released into the environment. Definitions and ExplanationsThe abbreviations R.Q. and T.P.Q. are used at the heading of the two columns on the right hand side of the table. These abbreviations are defined below:
You will note that some chemicals in the T.P.Q. column have two different numbers. The lower figure denotes the solid or liquid formulation of the product (ex. Furadan 4F), the larger number denotes the granular formulation of the product (ex. Furadan 15G). Both figures are in pounds of active ingredient. To assist readers in making T.P.Q. determinations, the percentages and/or pounds of active ingredient per gallon for each pesticide are given. Reporting Requirements SARA (Title III)The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) has a number of reporting requirements. They are: Emergency Planning (Section 302), Emergency Notification/Accidental Release (Section 304), Material Safety Data Sheets/Chemical List (Sections 311 and 312) and Toxic Chemical Release Reporting (Section 313). Considerable confusion exists about to whom these reports should be submitted. Section 302 -- Emergency planning (storage information) and Section 304 -- Emergency Notification/Accidental Release or Spills are the most common for farmers to be concerned about. Farmers are exempt from Tier II reporting (Sections 311, 312, 313). Farmers who are also commercial applicators or resell pesticides may be required to meet all reporting requirements (Sections 302, 304, 311, 312, 313). SARA mandates that reports on storage or spills be submitted to:
The State Emergency Response Commission has designated the North Dakota Division of Emergency Management as the state agency responsible for collection of reports. All written reports and questions about report forms submitted under SARA, regardless of the section, should be submitted to:
Reports for the local Emergency Planning Committee should be sent to the County Emergency Manager. Reporting Spills or Accidental ReleasesVerbal notification of an accidental release or spill of a hazardous substance within North Dakota in an amount equal to or greater than the reportable quantity (R.Q.) from the table must be made to:
Emergency notification must include this information:
A written follow-up report is required and must include information about:
