(1)Since there is a risk to aquatic life from use, users not applying the statutory buffer zone must either themselves carry out, or ensure that someone else has carried out a Local Environment Risk Assessment for Pesticides (LERAP) on their behalf before each spraying operation from a broadcast air-assisted sprayer. Users must not allow direct spray from such sprayers to fall within 5m of the top of the bank of any static or flowing waterbody or within 5m of a ditch which is dry at the time of application (these distances to be measured as set out in the booklet ‘Local Environment Risk Assessment for Pesticides - Broadcast Air-assisted Sprayers’ - and any amendments that are made to it) unless:

The LERAP indicates that a narrower buffer zone will be sufficient; and

Any measures indicated by the LERAP as justifying the narrower buffer zone are complied with in full and in accordance with any conditions applicable to them.

Spray must be aimed away from water.

(2)The results of the LERAP must be recorded in written form and must be available for a period of three years for inspection to any person entitled to exercise enforcement powers under or in connection with the Plant Protection Products Regulations 2011 or the Plant Protection Products (Sustainable Use) Regulations 2012.  (An electronic record will satisfy the requirement for a written record, providing it is similarly available for inspection and can be copied).

(3) Detailed guidance on LERAPs and how to conduct a LERAP are contained in the booklet ‘Local Environment Risk Assessment for Pesticides - Broadcast Air-Assisted Sprayers’, available from HSE Chemicals Regulation Directorate’s website.  All LERAPs must be carried out in accordance with this Guidance and any amendments that are made to it.

 

This product qualifies for inclusion within the Local Environment Risk Assessment for Pesticides (LERAP) scheme for broadcast air-assisted sprayers. Before each spraying operation from a broadcast air-assisted sprayer, either a LERAP must be carried out in accordance with the ‘Local Environment Risk Assessment for Pesticides Broadcast Air-Assisted Sprayers’ booklet available from the HSE Chemicals Regulation Directorate’s website or the statutory buffer zone must be maintained. The results of the LERAP must be recorded and kept available for three years.

 

Failure to comply with the following conditions will result in the withdrawal or amendment of the permit under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and may result in other enforcement action, including prosecution.

 

Label:

The permit holder must follow the detailed requirements of all relevant Parts of ‘The Labelling Handbook’ available on HSE’s website at www.pesticides.gov.uk.

The permit holder must not make any amendments to the label that are not consistent with the existing authorised use(s) and authorised label text.

 

Packaging:

The permit holder must design and construct the packaging and fastenings to make sure they are strong and solid throughout so they will not come apart and will safely withstand normal handling; they can be repeatedly refastened and the contents cannot accidentally escape; the contents cannot attack either the packaging or the fastenings or form harmful or dangerous compounds with them and they are unlikely to attract children or arouse their curiosity.

 

Mixing:

The permit holder must ensure that any plant protection or adjuvant product(s) recommended for mixing with this product are authorised or have an official List Entry for use in the UK (refer to HSE’s website at www.pesticides.gov.uk and ‘The Pesticides Register Database’ and ‘Adjuvant Information Database’). 

 

The permit holder must immediately notify the Secretary of State, the Scottish Ministers and the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development in Northern Ireland (care of the Health and Safety Executive), if they have any new information on the potentially adverse effects of the permitted product, or of residues of an active substance in that product when used in accordance with the conditions of this permit.  For those products permitted under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 permit holders must also tell the other relevant competent authorities of the EC Member States (a list of which is available from the Health and Safety Executive) and the EC Commission.  Failure to comply with this requirement is an offence.

 

The permit holder must comply with all requests for information required by, or on behalf of, the Secretary of State, the Scottish Ministers or the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development in Northern Ireland in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009.
