strips, or buffer areas that drain to sensitive water bodies unless approved by the County. Suggested BMPs for IPM An integrated pest management program might consist of the following steps: Step 1 Correctly identify problem pests and understand their life cycle. Step 2 Establish tolerance thresholds for pests. Step 3 Monitor to detect and prevent pest problems. Step 4 Modify the maintenance program to promote healthy plants and discourage Step 5 Use cultural, physical, mechanical, or biological controls if pests exceed the tolerance thresholds. Step 6 Evaluate and record the effectiveness of the control and modify maintenance practices to support lawn or landscape recovery and prevent recurrence. For an elaboration of steps refer to Appendix IVB, Example of an IPM Program. Finishing, and Coating of Vehicles, Boats, Buildings, and Equipment Description of Pollutant Sources: Surface preparation and the application of paints, finishes, and/or coatings to vehicles, boats, buildings, and/or equipment outdoors can be sources of pollutants. Potential pollutants include organic compounds, oils and greases, heavy metals, and suspended solids. Pollutant Control Approach: Cover and contain painting and sanding operations and apply good housekeeping and preventive maintenance practices to prevent the contamination of stormwater with painting oversprays and grit from sanding. Required BMPs Train employees in the careful application of paints, finishes, and coatings to reduce misuse and overspray. Use ground or drop cloths underneath outdoor painting, scraping, sandblasting work, and properly clean and temporarily store collected debris daily.
