Pesticides General Permit Informational Workshop

Pesticides General Permit Informational Workshop
Thursday, July 18, 9:00-11:00 a.m.
AAFES Building, 919 Ala Moana Blvd., 5th Floor Conference Room, Honolulu
(video conference call locations on Maui, Hawaii, and Kauai – see attached flyer for details)

The Hawaii State Department of Health and the Hawaii State Department of Agriculture are sponsoring an outreach workshop to assist farmers and public entities in complying with the new pesticides rule (HAR Ch. 11-55, Appendix M), adopted in October 2012.

If you use pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, rodenticides, or various other substances to control pests, this meeting may apply to you.  Of concern is whether these substances will be applied to or will enter waters of the state.

Come and find out whether you are required to apply for a Pesticides General Permit, and receive assistance in complying with the new rule.

See the attached flyer for location details (live location on Oahu, video conference call locations on Maui, Hawaii, and Kauai).
