PERMANENT RULES
Date of Adoption: October 26, 2000.
Purpose: Revise rule for purposes of clarity and uniformity with general rule requirements found in WAC 16-228-1231. Also, in certain situations individuals need to purchase one-gallon quantities of phenoxy type materials to control noxious weeds. The changes require that liquid formulations of (phenoxy hormone-type such as 2,4-D, and MCPA) distributed in quantities greater than one gallon in counties located east of the crest of the Cascade Mountains shall be sold and distributed only by licensed pesticide dealers to certified applicators or their duly authorized representatives.
