How to Use This Report
The N.C. Pesticide Board is mandated by the General Statutes of North Carolina (§ 143-437) to make annual reports to the
Governor on matters involving pesticides. The North Carolina Pesticide Report for 2009 fulfills this mandate. Considerable time
and effort have gone into editing and organizing this 2009 edition which summarizes regulatory activities performed under the
N.C. Pesticide Law of 1971. In this document you will find the following:
Introduction
The Introduction describes the development of laws and regulations governing the sale and use of pesticides in North
Carolina. It also refers to certain divisions in the North Carolina Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services that
perform key roles in regulating and controlling the sale and use of pesticides in this State.
North Carolina Pesticide Law of 1971 and Adopted Regulations
This section presents a brief abstract of the North Carolina Pesticide Law of 1971. It also indicates where to obtain a
complete copy of the Law and the pursuant Regulations adopted by the North Carolina Pesticide Board.
Pesticide Board and Pesticide Advisory Committee
This section presents a brief description of the duties and composition of the North Carolina Pesticide Board and the
North Carolina Pesticide Advisory Committee. In addition, a brief summary of each North Carolina Pesticide Board meeting
and Pesticide Advisory Committee meeting held during 2009 is given.
Pesticide Environmental Trust Fund
In this section, a summary of the Pesticide Environmental Trust Fund’s financial transactions for 2009 is presented.
Balances, receipts, expenditures, refunds, cumulative (1993-2009) figures and project summaries are given.

The term “Pesticide” covers a large number of materials and mixtures intended for destroying, controlling,
or repelling pests such as insects, weeds, and other noxious plants, predatory animals and birds, soil-infesting
pests such as nematodes, algae, snails, and bacteria. Other examples are disinfectants, antiseptics,
and fungicides for use other than on living man or other animals, defoliants, various repellents, fly paper, and
other adhesive products whose action goes beyond simple mechanics, moth proofers, wood preservatives other than common
paints, mildew controls, and seed fumigants.
An adequate and readily available supply of many of these products is essential in the economical
production of feed and fiber crops. The preservation of many products in storage and the control of domestic
and industrial pests which affect both the health and welfare of human beings and animals are like-wise
dependent on such materials.
While the development and distribution of various pesticides to serve the needs are important, provisions
must be present to protect the public. During the years 1947 through 1971, it was the purpose of the
economic poisons law (North Carolina Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act of 1947, G.S. 4A, Chapter
106) to protect the public from adulterated, misbranded, worthless, and dangerous products, and legitimate
manufacturers from unscrupulous competition.
During the years 1953 through 1971, the aerial application of pesticides was regulated by the North
Carolina Aerial Crop Dusting Law, G.S. 4B, Chapter 106. The Law and the regulations promulgated thereunder,
in summary, required the registration and licensing of contractors and aviators who engaged in the custom
application of pesticides by aircraft in North Carolina. The validity of a license was further restricted to the
period of time that coverage by liability bond or insurance for damage by aircraft was in force.
During 1969, the North Carolina General Assembly through House Resolution 1392 directed the Legislative
Research Commission to study the laws regulating pesticides in N.C. and report its findings and
recommendations to the 1971 General Assembly. As a result of the findings and recommendations
of the Commission, the North Carolina Pesticide Law of 1971 was adopted. The N.C. Pesticide Law of
1971 established the North Carolina Pesticide Board as the governing body for the programs of pesticide
management and control set forth in the Law. Provisions for regulating the use, application (aerial and
ground), sale, storage, disposal and registration of pesticides are set forth in the Law.
The Law provides for the adoption of a list of restricted use pesticides and requires the licensing of all
pesticide dealers who sell restricted use pesticides directly to users. Pesticide applicators and consultants are
also subject to licensing requirements. Private pesticide applicators may be required to be certified or
recertified in order to purchase, use, and supervise use of restricted use pesticides in agricultural commodity production.
The Commissioner of Agriculture is responsible for administering and enforcing the Law and all rules and
regulations adopted by the Board.
Each brand or grade of pesticide must be registered with the North Carolina Department of Agriculture &
Consumer Services before it can be legally offered for sale in the State. A $50.00 registration fee for each
brand or grade must accompany each application for registration. In addition to the registration fee,
an annual environmental assessment must be paid for each brand or grade to be registered in North Carolina.
The assessment shall be $50.00 if the applicant’s gross sales of the pesticide in this state for the preceding 12
months for the period ending September 30th were more than $5,000.00 and $25.00 if gross sales were less
than $5,000.00. This assessment must accompany the $50.00 registration fee in order for the registration to be complete.
A statewide inspection service will be maintained to investigate incidents involving pesticide misuse
and to implement programs to enhance compliance to the Law and regulations. In addition to product
registration and applicator licensing programs, the Pesticide Section of the Structural Pest Control and Pesticides
Division will implement programs as authorized by regulation pertaining to the quality of formulated pesticides,
the storage, disposal, and use of pesticides. The Department will maintain analytical laboratories to conduct
analysis of official samples obtained for regulatory purposes.

Any pesticide may be designated as a “Restricted Use Pesticide” upon the grounds that in
the judgment of the Board it is so hazardous or injurious to persons, pollinating insects,
animals, crops, wildlife, lands, or the environment that additional restrictions on its sale,
purpose, use, or possession are required. Restricted Use Pesticides also include any pesticide
required by the Environmental Protection Agency to bear the designation on its labeling
“Restricted Use Pesticide.” (Restricted Use Pesticides have been established by regulation.)
The Board may require certification and recertification of private pesticide applicators
and charge a fee of up to $10.00. The current fee is established by regulation at $6 for a
three-year certification.
All pesticide dealers who sell restricted use pesticides must be licensed. Application for a
pesticide dealer’s license must be accompanied by a nonrefundable fee of $50. All licenses
shall expire on December 31 of the year for which they are issued. The license may be
renewed annually upon application to the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services,
accompanied by a non-refundable fee of $50 for each license. Each applicant must demonstrate
upon written, or written and oral, examination his knowledge of pesticides, their usefulness
and their hazards; his competence as a pesticide dealer; and his knowledge of the laws and
regulations governing the use and sale of pesticides.
No person shall engage in the business of pesticide applicator within North Carolina
unless he is licensed annually by the Board. Each license application shall be accompanied
by a nonrefundable fee of $50 for each applicator’s license and an additional $25 for each
aircraft to be licensed. A pesticide applicator is defined as any person who owns or operates
a pesticide application business or who provides, for compensation, a service that includes
the application of pesticides upon the lands or properties of another; any public operator;
any golf course operator; any seed treater; any person engaged in demonstration or research
pest control; and any other person who applies pesticides for compensation and is not
exempt from this definition. It does not include:
a. Any person who uses or supervises the use of a pesticide (i) only for the purpose of
producing an agricultural commodity on property owned or rented by him or his employer,
or (ii) only (if applied without compensation other than trading of personal services between
producers of agricultural commodities) on the property of another person, or (iii) only for the
purposes set forth in (i) and (ii) above.
b. Any person who applies pesticides for structural pest control, as defined in the North
Carolina Structural Pest Control Law (G.S. Chapter 106, Article 4C.)
Each applicant must demonstrate upon written, or written and oral, examination his
competence as a pesticide applicator or public operator. In addition, to be licensed as a pilot,
a person must have 125 hours and one year’s flying experience as a pilot in the field of
aerial pesticide application.
No person shall perform services as a pest control consultant without first procuring
from the Board a license. The application for a license shall be accompanied by an annual
nonrefundable fee of $50. A pest control consultant is defined as any person who, for a fee,
offers or supplies technical advice, supervision, or aid, or recommends the use of specific
pesticides for the purpose of controlling insects, plant diseases, weeds, and other pests,
but does not include any person regulated by the North Carolina Structural Pest Control Act.
Each applicant must demonstrate upon written, or written and oral, examination his
competence as a pesticide consultant. An applicant for a pest control consultant license must possess
a Ph.D., master’s, or bachelor’s degree in an agricultural or biological science from an accredited
college or university with a minimum of 30 semester hours or 45 quarter hours of credit in
subject areas pertinent to the category in which the applicant seeks to obtain a license.
Emphasis of study must include insect, plant, bacterial, and fungal pests, as applicable to
the category, and integrated pest management.
No person shall handle, transport, store, display, or distribute pesticides in such a

manner as to endanger man or his environment.
Every pesticide prior to being distributed, sold, or offered for sale within this State or
delivered for transportation or transported in intrastate commerce or between points within
this State through any point outside this State, shall be registered and such registration
shall be renewed annually. Each manufacturer, distributor, or registrant of a pesticide shall
supervise the activities of any employee or agent to prevent the making of deceptive or
misleading statements about a pesticide. It shall be unlawful for any person to distribute,
sell, or offer for sale any restricted use pesticide to any dealer who does not hold a valid N.C.
Pesticide Dealer License.
A registration fee of $150 for each brand or grade of pesticide is required. An additional
$200 delinquent registration penalty shall be assesed against the registrant for each brand
or grade of pesticide marketed in North Carolina prior to registration.
An annual Pesticide Environmental Trust Fund assessment fee is required for each
brand or grade of pesticide registered. This fee is either $25.00 or $50.00, based on
gross sales of the pesticide within the State for the previous year. The assessments provide
funding for agromedicine efforts at East Carolina University, North Carolina State University,
and North Carolina A&T University and for pesticide environmental programs administered
by the N.C. Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services.
Registration is subject to refusal or cancellation for cause and upon hearing.
Any brand or grade found to be deficient or excessive in active ingredients, misbranded,
adulterated, or not registered is subject to “Stop Sale, Stop Use or Removal Orders.”
The Pesticide Board may assess a civil penalty of not more than $2,000 against any
person who violates or directly causes a violation of any provision of this article or any
rule adopted pursuant to this article. In determining the amount of any penalty, the Board
may consider the degree and extent of harm caused by the violation and the cost of
rectifying the damage caused by the violation.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Law, the maximum penalty which may be
assessed under this section against a “private pesticide applicator” is $500 and such penalties
may be assessed only for willful violations.
Any person who shall be adjudged to have violated any provision of the Law, or any
regulation of the Board adopted pursuant to this Law, shall be guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor
and for each violation shall be liable for a penalty of not less than $100 or more than $1,000
or shall be imprisoned for not more than 60 days, or both. In addition, if any person
continues to violate or further violates any provision of this Article after written notice from
the Board, the court may determine that each day during which the violation continued or is
repeated constitutes a separate violation subject to the foregoing penalties.

PESTICIDE ENVIRONMENTAL TRUST FUND
Throughout 2009, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (NCDA&CS) continued to fulfill
the mandate of N.C. General Statutes §143-442 and §143-468 which specify the collection and disposition of environmental
assessment fees that pesticide manufacturers and distributors pay when they register pesticide products for sale in North
Carolina.
RECEIPTS for 2009
NCDA&CS collected $ 492,225.00 in environmental assessment fees from the registration of approximately 13,973 pesticide
brands during 2009. Fifty-six percent of the receipts were for products with reported annual North Carolina gross sales of
less than $5,000, and forty-four percent of the receipts were for products with annual sales of $5,000 or more. (The annual
environmental assessment/product is $25 or $50 per brand, respectively.)
BALANCES for 2009
Initial receipts from pesticide registrants paying PETF assessments are deposited into the NCDA&CS Pesticide Environment
Assessment Fund (PEAF, Account No. 6136). Transfers are made from Account No. 6136 according to North Carolina G.S. §
143-468(b) as follows: 25% to agromedicine and 75% to the Pesticide Environmental Trust Fund (PETF, Account No. 6137),
the account which is used by NCDA&CS to sponsor the various pesticide environmental programs summarized in this report.
As of December 31, 2009 there was a balance of $ 226,152.53 in Account No. 6136 and a balance of $ 419,235.40 in Account
No. 6137. The total amount in both accounts as of December 31, 2009 was $ 645,387.93.
EXPENDITURES FOR 2009
During 2009, NCDA&CS expended a total of $ 652,869.21 from Account Nos. 6136 and 6137.
As specified in North Carolina G.S. § 143-468(b), PETF funds were distributed to North Carolina State University
(NCSU), NC A&T State University and East Carolina University for operational expenses associated with administering and
implementing a statewide agromedicine program; each university received 2.5% of the total PETF receipts collected during
the calendar year. Twenty-percent of the total PETF receipts were used to support the agromedicine information specialist
position in NCSU’s Environmental & Molecular Toxicology Department. The aggregate amount of PETF funds spent on
agromedicine during 2009 was $ 137,292.92.
No funds from the PETF were awarded to support local recycling of plastic pesticide containers during 2009.
CUMULATIVE PETF FIGURES (1993-2009)
As of December 31, 2009, a total of $ 6,793,508.06 in receipts has been collected since the inception of the PETF.
Since 1993, PETF has provided a total of $ 1,741,389.16 for support of agromedicine in North Carolina.
Expenditures for pesticide environmental programs between 1995 and 2009 have totaled $ 4,914,126.93.

Pesticide Environmental Trust Fund (PETF) Project Summaries
Pesticides and Farmworkers Health: A Toolkit to Enhance Pesticide Safety Training for Hispanic/Latino Workers
Dr. W. Gregory Cope, Julia A. Storm et al, NC State University Dept of Environmental & Molecular Toxicology - a three year
project to enhance farmworker safety training by developing a toolkit that includes crop sheets, lesson plans for trainers,
and references to other sources. Project begins early 2008.
Aerial Pesticide Applicator Fly-in Workshop – Aviation S.A.F.E. System
NC Agricultural Aviation Association and WRK Arkansas Country Air Estates 1AR9 – a two day fly-in with intensive training
for aerial applicators of pesticides and other crop protection chemicals. Aerial granular and spray droplet pattern tests with
computer based analyses provided applicators hands on training relative to deposition uniformity and efficacy improvement
techniques.
16
Pesticide Disposal Assistance Program
The North Carolina Pesticide Disposal Assistance Program, created by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture &
Consumer Services, provides the public a legal, free-of-charge, environmentally acceptable mechanism to dispose of unwanted
or unusable pesticides. The Pesticide Disposal Program is a public service stewardship program contained within the Structural
Pest Control and Pesticides Division.
The Pesticide Disposal Assistance Program disposes of pesticides collected at designated single day disposal collection sites
and at permanent household hazardous waste collection sites across the North Carolina. In 2009, the Pesticide Disposal
Assistance Program supervised the collection and disposal of 121,690 pounds of pesticide waste. A total of 38 singe day disposal
events were organized by NCDA&CS during 2009. NCDA&CS also assisted 27 counties in disposal of pesticides collected at
permanent household hazardous waste (HHW) sites. A participant must notify the Pesticide Disposal Assistance Program
prior to taking unwanted pesticides to a HHW site.
17
Pesticide Container Recycling
Farmers and commercial pesticide applicators participated in the recycling of plastic pesticide containers by transporting
their empties to collection sites that were established by county agencies. USAg Recycling, Inc., the ACRC approved recycler
in North Carolina, reported that 285,120 pounds of plastic were recycled for 2008. Eighty-three counties had plastic pesticide
container recycling programs during the year.
Pesticide Inspector IIs visited recycling sites across the state to check on the cleanliness of pesticide containers being
stored for recycling and to verify how previously awarded PETF grant money had been spent.
During the past year at farm shows, fairs, and other events, the Pesticide Section distributed pencils and calibration cups
to promote the recycling of plastic pesticide containers. These items were also distributed to local pesticide container recycling
programs. Also, some counties received the following ACRC training videos on container recycling: Inspecting Used Pesticide
Containers for Recycling and Pesticide Residue Removal for Plastic Containers. An educational brochure, Recycling Works,
was given to many counties for distribution to farmers and commercial pesticide applicators.

DEFINITIONS ADOPTED
Table I lists the analytical results of formulation samples based on the following:
“PASSED” - signifies that all active ingredients were found to be present at acceptable levels based on the label guarantee.
“Failed Due to Deficient Active Ingredient” – signifies that one or more active ingredients fell significantly below the
guarantee. Such products are placed under “Stop Sale Order” and are removed from the market place.
“Failed Due to Excessive Active Ingredient” - indicates a significant excess of one or more active ingredients. Since
such formulations could be harmful to the user and/or result in excessive residues, these products are placed under “Stop
Sale Orders” and are removed from the market place.
Table II lists the analytical results of microbiological samples based on the following:
“PASSED” - indicates that the product was effective in killing the specific microorganisms guaranteed by the product label.
“Failed��� - indicates that the product was ineffective in killing the specific microorganisms guaranteed by the product label
or that bacterial contamination of the product was found.
Table III lists manufacturers that had products placed under “Stop Sale Orders” due to the following:
“Unregistered” - signifies that the product was not registered at the time it was found by a pesticide inspector in the
marketplace. Any such product is required to be registered prior to release from a “Stop Sale Order.” A delinquent registration
penalty is also assessed against the manufacturer.
“Misbranded” - indicates that the labeling of a pesticide product failed to conform to federal and/or state requirements.
