- If you work with pesticides,
you need to know how
groundwater contamination
can happen, and how to manage
pesticide application safely.
I'm Andy Yencha,
- And I'm Susan Boser.
And we work with the Renewable
Natural Resources Team.
Whether you're already a
certified pesticide applicator,
a property owner, a turf, grass,
or landscaping professional, our course,
Keeping Pesticides out of Groundwater
will include the basics of the water cycle
and how the properties of
soils, pesticides, and geology
can contribute to
groundwater contamination,
including drinking water.
We will emphasize the dangers of leeching,
and outline how to prevent
the worst case spill scenario.
- Pennsylvania, in particular,
has geological challenges
when it comes to preventing
groundwater contamination.
We will discuss proper well location
and setbacks for at risk water areas,
such as sinkholes and rock outcroppings.
As an applicator, you need to know
how and where to store mix
and load your chemicals.
This course will provide important
and useful information about preventing,
containing, and cleaning
up potential spills.
Let's work together to
keep our groundwater safe.
