Integrated Pest Management Policy:
The MHCSD is committed to implementing an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach to guide the management of its facilities, landscaped areas, and rights-of-way. The IPM approach promotes the protection of the residents and visitors, as well as the local waterways, and utilizes a pest management strategy that promotes the long-term suppression of pest problems with minimum impact on non-target organisms and the environment as well as a reduction in use of pesticides. Least toxic pesticides are used only after an assessment indicates such a need, consistent with the provisions of this IPM Policy.

The purpose of these Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) is to define protocols for MHCSD for the safe routine and non-routine storage, application, and disposal of pesticides to reduce runoff of these chemicals to the storm drain system. In this document, the term “pesticide” includes products used as herbicides.
