Info

The Clean Sweep Reportcollected wastes and one MDA staff supervising site activities. Generally two volunteer workers atthe site collect data and direct traffic. It is expected that 20 to 30 persons will dispose of waste persite. Participants drive to unloading area where waste is removed. After their vehicle is unloaded,they leave the site. Unloaded wastes are identified, segregated and packed by contractor staff fortransport. After packing, waste is loaded onto trucks for transport.VI.VII.EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND EMERGENCY RESPONSEAn orientation session will be conducted prior to opening each collection site. The session providesan overview of the collection process, outlines specific work tasks, and reviews MDA implementedsafety plans and emergency procedures. Site workers have access to running water, rest areas, aphone, and personnel protective and safety equipment including: protective clothing, eye washstation, first-aid kit, eye and skin neutralizer, and safety station, ground cover, spill response,portable fume hood, ABC fire extinguisher, respirators and self-contained breathing apparatus,decontamination facilities, and emergency warning system. MDA and contractor staff will be firstresponders to on-site emergencies, other responders may be called if more help is needed (fire,injury, or extensive release).EMERGENCY RESPONDERS, HOSPITAL DIRECTIONS & EVACUATION ROUTEWednesday, June 20: Harvest States Coop, ElktonHospital - St. Olaf Hospital , Austin 507/437-4551Fire - Elkton Fire Department 911Police - Elkton Police Department 911Sheriff - Mower County Sheriff’s Department 507/437-9400Directions to Hospital: Exit site and head west on I-90 for 16 miles to Austin.

Appendix VIIICOMPARISON OF PESTICIDES USED PER STATEVERSUS PESTICIDES COLLECTED AT CLEAN SWEEPSAppendix VIII provides information on the estimated amount of pesticides used by the states and theamount of pesticides they have collected and disposed of during Clean Sweep programs. Data on the amountof pesticide active ingredient used in each state in 1992 and 1997 (from the National Center for Food andAgricultural Policy) was extrapolated to estimate the amount used from 1991 through 2000. EPA assumedthat this same amount was used each decade beginning in the 1960’s to estimate the pounds of pesticide activeingredient used by each state from 1961 to 2000. EPA chose 40 years because many of the pesticidescollected at Clean Sweep events since 1980 are years or even decades old. Because the amount of activeingredient can range from less than 1 percent to over 80 percent of a formulated product, the total weight offormulated agricultural pesticides used per year is greater. The most common agricultural products containfrom 10 percent to 50 percent active ingredient. This information was used to estimate a range of the amountof formulated product used in each state from 1960 to 2000. The amount of pesticides disposed throughClean Sweep programs can be compared to the estimated amount used.The information in Appendix VIII can be used to provide rough estimates of the amount of uncollectedpesticides in states with relatively new or less comprehensive programs. Texas has run an extensive CleanSweep program for 9 years and has collected an estimated 0.06 percent of the pesticides used since 1961.Considering that the Texas program still collects significant quantities of pesticides, including more than 103,000pounds in 2000, it is impossible to know what the final total (and percent) will be in Texas. However, if oneassumes that Texas and Florida farmers and agricultural businesses have had similar pesticide managementpractices, Florida may have quite a bit of unwanted pesticides still requiring disposal. Florida just began acomprehensive Clean Sweep program last year, and has collected about 0.002 percent of the estimatedamount of pesticides used in the last four decades. If the actual percent that needs to be disposed is similar toTexas’ percent (assume 0.02 percent for simplicity), then the estimated amount that Florida may collect in along-term, comprehensive Clean Sweep program is an order of magnitude larger than the current amount, orabout 2.9 million pounds.
