  2. IPM Projects • COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF AG. • LICENSED PEST CONTROL ADVISOR • IPM • BUGS Book (IPM Innovator Award) • Ventura Unified, Los Angeles Unified, Santa Barbara Schools, Vista Del Mar, Vieja Valley • City of Santa Monica, Marin Co, Santa Barbara City and County, US EPA • Green Care for Children • Green Gardener Certification Program

  3. Regional IPM Coalition: • Recreational landscapes utilized by public (schools, parks, zoo…) • Premises • Within region we all have same problems • Experience is most valuable resource • Peer to peer exchange most effective • Collectively identify and solve issues • Collectively raise IPM bar

  4. DPR WANTS Model ‘Regional IPM Implementation Plan’: • Site-by-Site Pesticide Use Communication • Incremental Risk Reduction Objectives for Budgeting • Residential Outreach Strategy / Water Quality Protection • ‘Policy Menu’, Contracting, Renovation Template • Cooperative Funding and Use Opportunities • Training Needs, Share Training

  5. Identified Objectives…Possible Solutions? • ZONES SystemStandard of Measure • Golf Course = Quality of Play • Nat. Park Service = Visitation • IPM = Risk • City of Santa Monica • LA Unified • Ventura Unified

  6. RISK = HAZARD x EXPOSURE • Hazard = Materials List: • Carcinogens, reproductive toxicants, etc. • Exposure = Residue, run-off, drift, volatilize • Most Sensitive Individuals

  7. EXPOSURE RISK = HAZARD Higher the Exposure Lower the Hazard

  8. IF High Exposure = LIKELY: Skin contact Hand to mouth Run-off Drift on sensitive species And IF ACCESS TO SITE CANNOT BE RESTRICTED THEN Low Hazard Pesticide UTILIZE TOOLS WITH LOWEST HAZARD, PUBLIC CONCERN IF Low Exposure = UNLIKELY: Skin, mouth contact Sensitive species And IF ACCESS TO SITE MAY BE RESTRICTED THEN Higher Hazard = WIDER RANGE OF TOOLS (still within parameters of materials list)

  9. Zones at Ventura Unified

  10. GREEN ZONES = Describe: Exposure by skin contact, drift, volatilization is likely Examples: Playing fields, asphalt play surfaces, garden areas, six foot perimeter around buildings with windows/HVAC, curbs and landscapes around bus and vehicle loading Pesticides: VUSD Approved, H.S.A. Exempt Waivers (Round-Up): Must have plan to prevent problem in future (crew) Spray with 14 day window before site occupied or with access excluded Site posted for 14 days Emergencies

  11. YELLOW ZONES = Describe: Exposure by skin contact, drift, or volatilization possible but not likely Examples: Landscape beds away from structures and play fields Islands in parking areas Parking lots Double fencelines Pesticides: VUSD ‘Limited Use’ Conditions: 7 day window before site is expected to be in use Posted 7 days Spot treat only – no blanket applications

  12. RED ZONES = Describe: Access to site is limited to staff and where access may be restricted Examples: Storage, valve, parking areas where gates are locked Staff-only sites, such as storage or administrative buildings Pesticides: VUSD ‘Limited Use’ Conditions: 60 hour window before site is expected to be in use again

  13. RESULTS:Communication and Information • Focus limited resources to Green Zones (asphalt Green playgrounds before parking lots) • Staff clear about tasks, responsibilities • Community clear about areas of reduced exposure • Provides measurable goals for community involvement, budgeting
