Section 12:56:07:05 - Information to be furnished upon department request

The department may require any applicator, not more than once in any five-year period, to furnish the department with a summary for the preceding year, which shall include the following information by county: crop, site, or commodity treated, pest treated, trade or brand name and common name of pesticide applied, the percent of or pounds of active ingredient per gallon, and total volume used. The secretary of agriculture may require the information to be submitted more often than once every five-year period if circumstances require that such data are needed to protect the health and well-being of the citizens of South Dakota.

All summaries and the information therein submitted to the department shall be held in confidence unless that information is used by the department to compile an area or state-wide report of usage of pesticides by commercial applicators or is subpoenaed by a court of law.

The department may not issue a renewed license or allow a certification to be renewed if the commercial applicator applying for such a license or certification has not submitted the requested summary for the preceding year.
