shower and eyewash as a minimum. Depending on the distance from other
facilities, a small office, toilet and laundry area may also be required.
Include additional variations to plan for staffing and climatic differences
and to comply with individual state or host country requirements for pesticide
handling.

2.3.3
Facility Cost. Pest management facilities are expensive to
construct and unless they are designed economically, funding through the
military construction program will be required. This is attributable to the
high square footage costs for utility connections, specialized ventilation and
safety requirements. Small facilities do not cost proportionately less since
the major difference is in storage space which is a less expensive
consideration. It is essential that installations design and construct
minimum sized facilities to meet their mission requirements. Consideration
shall also be given to future use of a pest management facility.
2.3.4
Environmental Concerns. Pesticide use is closely regulated by the
U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state regulatory agencies.
Pest management facilities are subject to Occupational Safety and Health
Administration regulations as well as the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), Department of Defense, and military service
instructions and criteria. Facility planning shall include safety, public
health and environmental protection issues. The storage and use of pesticides
is regulated by Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations 165 (40 CFR 165) and
often by state or local pollution abatement agencies. The use of water to
extinguish fires in facilities may generate hazardous liquid wastes that can
readily contaminate materials, soil and ground water. Another concern is for
the proper disposal of wastes generated with normal operations. Pesticide
spills and cleanup procedures are addressed separately in the Armed Forces
