 Good morning. So today's presentation is about EPA bulletin live too. So oftentimes when you all have a label, you might see on the label where it says consult the county bulletin or look at look for the bulletin for endangered species. And so essentially what EPA has done because of the change in updating chemicals and finding new endangered species or declaring new endangered species, they decided to update the bulletin live to to make it all online. So you still may see it on your label, but where you're going to find the information and where it's going to be updated the most is going to be on this, what they call bulletin live to. So, Alabama has a lot of different endangered species, one being the big brown bad or hognose that this is not big brown that is the hognose that I worked a little bit with that when I was an undergrad here at Auburn so it's really cool to kind of see different types of species that Alabama has and but we're just going to talk about this bulletin live to So the bulletin live to is a web based application again is allows you to access endangered species protection information help you to find those areas where endangered species are are have it are are located and also allows you to know what chemicals may affect those endangered species. So again, like I said, it used to be found in the county extension office or in on your label, but now they've moved it to all online. Just so you know this presentation could technically to take two hours or so so we're going to cut this down quite a bit for today, just to give you an introduction into the bulletin live to And to give you some idea about how to go on it and to find information about endangered species and those areas. So just quick definitions. The BLT is the bulletin live to PULA's specified use limitation areas. This is the designated acronym that EPA uses to let you know those locations where They don't want you to use chemicals or they want you to limit the amount of chemicals that are used in those areas. Of course, the EPA registration numbers, the number given to manufacturers used to identify products and limitations for selected area table is the listing of limitation areas on the downloaded PDF that we're going to show shortly. There are a lot of species in Alabama that are protected. Some we know of some we don't. So the thing about the bulletin live to is it does not tell you what species you're protecting. It just tells you where you can spray or treat. There's of course some issues behind that. Individuals want to be able to know what they're trying to protect because they want to be able to make sure that they're not that they're not spraying in a time of season. For instance, if we have a hotter summer and The Beatles tend to go through a estimation kind of early or late or come out of it late. That could be an issue when you're trying to avoid those endangered species. The other issue could be that the reason why EPA does not let you know those endangered species because people tend to want to collect these items and sell them on the black market. So EPA does not want you to know where those species are because of course they're endangered for reasons. So basically when we're reviewing the bulletin, we're going to click that bulletin live to enter the system, navigate to our intended pesticide application area using the location search. We're going to select our application month. It's going to be automatically generated in there, but if you want to go early you can if you want to look for something later on down the line you can. And then we're going to we can further define our research by entering the EPA product registration number and I'm going to go through all this we're going to do a little quick live when hopefully you'll be able to see me walk through this. So if a PULA occurs within the selected area, you'll click on the area, a border surrounding will indicate that it's been selected, and it will basically give you a table of the products that you can't use and also you can print that out for later use. The benefit of course of this is that if there's a designation for the PULA that was not there when you originally printed that PDF, that could save you some type of court time or anything like that it can stop you from being receiving a citation because you're treating when the PULA does not is not listed on that form when it's not listed on that form. So, so it's a printable bulletin basically. And so we're going to go over this and look at it. But I want to talk about a couple of important notes. So the bulletin may be accessed up to six months before the pesticide application. But here's the thing, sometimes the bulletin can be like I said can be updated after you know within that six month window. But if EPA allows you to print it six months before you make the application you can kind of manage your applications you can make a decision and you can kind of hopefully be able to avoid hurting any endangered species. The other thing of course is it reduces your liability if you already have a printed bulletin and you can show proof of that. But I always tell people to try to do it no later in a month before, or, or if you're going to do it that day you can print it then, because they do get updated quite frequently and sometimes they may shift. The bulletins are enforceable that, you know, under FIFRA so you want to make sure that you share that information there are a lot of pesticides that are out there that that are listed on these bulletins so you want to make sure that anyone that you're working with or if you're using any type of chemicals that you're referencing these bulletins, if it says it on your label. So check that label that's why it's very important to read the label. So, again, we talked about why those bulletin are important. And of course, you know the state may have pesticide use limitations found beyond those in our bulletin. So, Department of Ag has posted a few notices about on their website about endangered species so you always want to make sure that you review those. And you want to look at the 24 Cs as well. So you can be aware of any type of pesticide limitations within our state. So what we're going to do right now very quickly is we're going to, I'm going to stop this share here and I'm going to pick up a new share, because what we're going to do is we're going to go to the bulletin itself. And we're going to run through how to use this bulletin. Okay, let's do a new share. Okay, so we're on EPA's endangered species protection bulletins. Hopefully you all can see this page here. And I am going to scroll down here. And I'm going to enter the system here. Here's a little slow there. All right, so this is the bulletins live to so hopefully you all can see this fairly well. I'm giving a couple seconds to upload. So at first glance, you'll see you have an entire United States here, any area that's kind of shaded this little pink area, those are all protected areas, those are all pesticide use limitation areas. So the cool thing about the bulletin live to is that if you don't want to put anything in the search location here. All you have to do is basically make this area larger. And you can click your area that you're interested in to to identify those areas that protect it. Now if you notice here on the left hand side if you guys are following my mouth is already set for March. Okay, so it's already set for March automatically it feels in for March. So what you normally will want to do if you have a future months coming up. So you won't let you go back, because it does that on purpose because it doesn't want people that possibly sprayed, and now get inspected by the Department of Agriculture to go back and say oh I did print out one when they actually they didn't. So you can pick whatever month you need to pick. So we'll just for the sake of this just pick may and it's going to generate us a new map. So it already generate the new map let's see here. Make sure. All right. Now we can stop right here, and we can do a printable bulletin and it's fun to print. Basically, the full United States because we don't have a location area and so what we're going to do is we're going to put Alabama. And for May. So we were to print a bulletin right here it would give us all the chemicals within Alabama and all the limits and all the areas where there are PULA that we need to be concerned about. So that makes it a lot more difficult. But what we're going to do is we're going to go to Tuskegee here. So, if we want to stop right here and print the bulletin it would give us for the month of, for the month of, for the month of May, it will give us all the chemicals and all the areas that we need to be concerned about. Okay. So we're going to stop there. I have a ETA registration number. We're going to put in a Dicamba product. Fix a pan plus with vapor grip. So the cool thing about this is once you start typing in the ETA registration number. It'll start pulling up other products that are listed. So we're going to set there. Okay. And then we're going to click print bulletin is slow today. So if someone calls your office and they have a label and they don't know how to access the bulletin this is the way you can help them access this information. All right, it's still moving a little slow here. So on the left hand side it gives you information about the products that are the products that you type in. If we were to let the product blank it will give us all the products within that month that we need to be concerned about so we'll click printable bulletin. And please let me know if you can still if you can see this bulletin when I pull it up. It's not I have to do a new share and see. Oh, you should be able to see the bulletin. Let's see here. Okay. So that's right there. Okay. So, this is the bulletin that you're going to print out. This is the one that that you'll be able to use to identify that limited use area and to make sure that you are not spring in those areas. And this is what the Department of Ag is going to pull when they pull it doing assessment if they get a call about endangered species. They have the ability to go in and pull earlier one. So this is a summary is showing you the area. And then also it lists down here, the product as well. So it has the EPA registration numbers as you see right there. And now if we were to not put this name in there it will generate all of those. Okay, it'll tell you the limitation. Okay, it gives you specifics on how to to utilize your product as well. And so when you would print that out and you would utilize that to if it allows you to even spray in those areas. So there's some instances, it'll say you can spray in the morning or you can treat in the morning. Or you can't at all during that time frame. So this is how the bulletin live to generally works. Now, Department of Agriculture, these hopefully you can see this page here that I'm sharing has up some endangered species information. So they already have some bulletins already available to you. Let's see here. Make sure you can see this when it opens up. There we go. So on their website occasionally, they will have some information about the bulletin live to. And there's more detail and more specifics into how to utilize this information. But this is just the gist of it this is just the basics and it's really good at outlining how to use the, you know, the product or the information on the product. The only downside is, again, is that it doesn't tell you what the, what the endangered species is, and it also it does not. It's a very broad area. And that's pretty difficult for some individuals whereas it's basically some blanket where may not even be any endangered species in the area but they just want to protect them. So, that's kind of the downside of it but if you notice here. They have a listing of all the products for that for that endangered species, and it tells you you're not allowed to use fumigates in that area. So that gives you an idea. But I just want to kind of touch on that with you guys kind of give you some insight into how to use that bulletin live to. It's way more in depth, but you know as far as time is concerned I did not want to go further into anyone else's time. So, it's pretty cool how they worked out the endangered live to bulletin, and, and I'm really kind of happy with the layout that they have right now versus what we used to have. It's going to be pretty difficult to find this information. So I'll take any questions that you guys may have.
