Are there any requirements on chemical containers used during chemigation?
Yes, there may be requirements if the container capacity or use meets certain requirements spelled out in the Title 198 “Rules and Regulations Pertaining to Agricultural Chemical Containment.” For instance, if the pesticide or fertilizer container has a capacity of 500 gallons or more, requirements may exist for secondary containment (i.e. diking) as specified in the Title 198 regulations, even if the container is mobile or mounted on a trailer. Fertilizer containers up to 2,000 gallons in capacity have a seasonal exemption in most cases. However, please contact the NDEQ Agriculture Section at (402) 471-4239 with any questions, or go to the NDEQ web site and click on the “NDEQ Programs” tab, then “Agriculture Programs,” “Agricultural Chemical Secondary Containment” for more information. .
