Chemical Management
         
  Spill Preparedness      
  Be prepared for accidents. Develop a plan for chemical spills, and discuss the plan with all those who are involved in your forest operation.

A well thought out plan includes procedures for cleaning up the spill and notifying the
appropriate authorities:

  
Prevent Chemicals From Entering Water
Prevent chemicals from entering water or wetlands by avoiding mixing, loading, or applying chemicals within the ordinary high water mark. Locate mixing and loading areas at least 75' above the ordinary high water mark or where spills will not enter water or wetlands. Remove all empty containers from the site for proper disposal.
