Since that time, the Board delegated similar authority for certain variance requests for broadcast pesticide applications within the 25-foot untreated buffer zone required by CMR 01-026 Chapter 29. On November 18, 2011, an interim policy was approved by the Board to permit staff to approve Chapter 29 requests for variances to control vegetation that pose a dermal toxicity hazard. However, no policy exempts applications to control invasive vegetation. Several requests for variances to control invasive vegetation within twenty-five feet of surface water have recently been received and granted by the Board. Invasive plants are a common problem near surface water, involve an increasing variety of species, are difficult to eradicate, and easily re-establish. Because management is complex and requires a multi-year approach the Board directed the staff to develop a policy that allows the staff to approve multi-year variance requests provided that the request: includes specific pesticide use strategies designed to minimize contamination of surface water incorporates a long term control plan that includes re-vegetation of the site and consideration of appropriate best management practices (BMPs) specific to the target invasive species. For BMP information and fact sheets, applicants can be directed to the Boards GotPests? website,  HYPERLINK "http://www.maine.gov/dacf/php/gotpests/index.html" http://www.maine.gov/dacf/php/gotpests/index.html. POLICY The Board delegates the authority to the staff to approve requests for variance from CMR 01-026 Chapter 29, Section 6, for the control of invasive plants. Invasive plants may include, but are not limited to: plants listed by the Invasive Plants Atlas of New England website,  HYPERLINK "http://www.eddmaps.org/ipane/ipanespecies/current_inv.htm" http://www.eddmaps.org/ipane/ipanespecies/current_inv.htm. The request for a variance must include a detailed description of the area, photographs showing the area and relation to water, an agreement to use low-pressure, handheld application equipment, and the spray must be directed away from the water with no drift or direct discharge to the water body or wetland. The variance must also include a multi-year control strategy, a plan for re-vegetation of the site, and demonstrate knowledge of efficacy and appropriate practices. The variance may be granted for up to a three year period, conditional upon compliance with all variance requirements.
