summary
This amendment narrows the requirement of whom a land manager must notify prior to applying pesticides. Only abutters must be notified and a notification is good for 3 years unless the general method of application or the types of pesticides used change. It clarifies acceptable means of notifying and the information to be conveyed to abutters and to people on the registry of citizens within 1,320 feet of the application area. It refines the definition of "air-carrier equipment" to exclude equipment with nozzles directed downward.
It directs a land manager to keep records of people notified of pesticide applications who ask not to be notified in the future. This amendment specifies acceptable methods to communicate required information. It also adds an e-mail address to the information required of a person asking to be placed on the registry of citizens.
