If the control authority or permitter is touring a facility and finds that the plant is obviously not following a specified Table 8 practice, is that cause for an enforcement action?
If the facility has certified they are implementing a specific Table 8 practice, but the control authority or permitter observes that the practice is not being implemented or utilized, then this could be cause for an enforcement action. However, many PFPR facilities produce nonpesticide products on the same equipment as pesticide products. Therefore, the control authority/permitter should be sure that they are observing operations related to in-scope PFPR production before taking any action.
