Display and storage. (a) A person may <br />store or display pesticides and their containers only in the <br />original container and separated from food, feed, seed, <br />livestock remedies, drugs, plants, and other products or <br />materials stored, displayed, or offered for sale in a manner <br />that prevents contamination which would cause injury or damage <br />to the other products or materials. <br /> <br />(b) A person may not allow open pesticide containers to be <br />displayed for sale under any circumstances. <br /> <br />Subd. 2. Bulk pesticide storage. (a) A person <br />storing pesticides in containers of a rated capacity of 500 <br />gallons or more for more than ten consecutive days at a bulk <br />pesticide storage facility must obtain a pesticide storage <br />permit from the commissioner as required by rule. <br /> <br />(b) Applications must be on forms provided by the <br />commissioner containing information established by rule. The <br />initial application for a permit must be accompanied by a <br />nonrefundable application fee of $100 for each location where <br />the pesticides are stored. An application for a facility that <br />includes both fertilizers as regulated under chapter 18C and <br />bulk pesticides as regulated under this chapter shall pay only <br />one application fee of $100. <br /> <br />(c) The commissioner shall by rule develop and implement a <br />program to regulate bulk pesticides. The rules must include <br />installation of secondary containment devices, storage site <br />security, safeguards, notification of storage site locations, <br />criteria for permit approval, a schedule for compliance, and <br />other appropriate requirements necessary to minimize potential <br />adverse effects on the environment. The rules must conform with <br />existing rules of the Pollution Control Agency. <br /> <br />(d) A person must obtain a permit from the commissioner on <br />forms provided by the commissioner before the person constructs <br />or substantially alters a bulk pesticide storage facility. If <br />an application is incomplete, the commissioner must notify the <br />applicant as soon as possible. The permit must be acted upon <br />within 30 days after receiving a completed application. <br /> <br />http://www.revisor.leg.state.rnn.us/bin! getpub.php?pubtype=ST A T _CHAP &year=current... <br /> <br />4/21/2006 <br />
