Ponds Wholly Contained with No Outflow
A
Certified Farmer does not need a permit to apply an aquatic herbicide
to his pond if the pond is wholly contained within the boundaries of his/her
property, with no outflows to another waterbody outside the boundaries of
his/her property.
NOTE:
A
pond is wholly within the boundaries of a property when there is no outflow
from the waterbody by any means directly or indirectly, other than by
percolation, into other water or watercourse that is located wholly or partly
outside the boundaries of the person's property.
Ponds Wholly Contained with Outflow
A
Certified Farmer needs a permit to apply an aquatic herbicide to
his/her pond if the pond is wholly contained on the property but has an
outflow to a waterbody that is outside the boundaries of his/her property.
