2. Minor violations. Nothing in this subchapter shall may be construed as requiring the board to report minor violations of this subchapter for prosecution or for the institution of condemnation proceedings when the board believes that the public interest will be served best by a suitable notice of warning in writing.

3. Repeated violations. The board shall record all violations of this chapter subchapter and Title 22, chapter 258- A, including the name of the owner of the land on which the pesticides were intended to be applied, the name of the licensed pesticides applicator and the name of the person who contracted the pesticide application services. The board shall identify persons who repeatedly violate provisions relating to pesticide use and recommend to the Attorney General methods to prevent these repeated further violations by those persons.

§612. "Stop sale, use or removal" order

When the board has reasonable cause to believe a pesticide or device is being distributed, stored, transported or used in violation of any of the provisions of this subchapter or of any of the prescribed regulations under rules adopted pursuant to this subchapter, it may issue and serve a written "stop sale, use or removal" order upon the owner or custodian of any such that pesticide or device. If the owner or custodian is not available for service of the order, the board may attach the order to the pesticide or device and notify the owner or custodian and the registrant. The pesticide or device shall may not be sold, used or removed until the provisions of this subchapter have been complied with and the pesticide or device has been released in writing under conditions specified by the board or the violation has been otherwise disposed of as provided in this subchapter by a court of competent jurisdiction. The issuance of such an order shall not be considered is not a licensing or an adjudicatory proceeding as defined by the Maine Administrative Procedure Act.
