Section 4-66-63.1 - Annual Use Permit(a) A pesticide may be designated by the board as requiring an annual use permit for purchase if the department, after an evaluation of pesticide uses in accordance with section 4-66-32.1, determines that existing controls over the pesticide may be inadequate to prevent potential unreasonable adverse effects on humans or the environment and that tracking and controlling use is appropriate.(b) An annual use permit is required for the purchase and use of picloram. Additional pesticides may be designated as requiring an annual use permit as provided in section 4-66-63.1(a). The board, upon designation of any additional pesticide product as requiring an annual use permit, shall maintain a list of such pesticide products at the department Office of the Chairperson.

An application and permit may be amended during the permit period to add acreage, other locations, additional quantity of pesticide or other changes, as appropriate.(d) In determining whether to issue an annual use permit, the potential use described in an application will be reviewed for compliance with the pesticide's label directions. The head shall determine the quantity of pesticide to be authorized for each permit and other permit conditions necessary to prevent unreasonable adverse effects to humans or the environment.(e) Failure to comply with the terms or conditions of any annual use permit may result in permit revocation and subject the permittee to additional penalties as provided by law.[Eff and comp DEC 16 2006] (Auth: HRS § 149A-19) (Imp: HRS § 149A-32.5)
