What must facilities that store bulk quantities of fertilizer or pesticide notify the OISC of annually?

Facilities that store bulk quantities of fertilizer or pesticide are required to notify the Office of Indiana State Chemist (OISC) regarding the location and status of their bulk containers annually. This requirement is essential for ensuring that the OISC has updated records about where these potentially hazardous substances are stored and their current condition. Accurate information about the location helps in emergency response planning, regulatory compliance, and public safety initiatives.

In addition to providing a clear line of sight into storage practices, this notification allows for better oversight and management of regulations concerning environmental protection and safe agricultural practices. Maintaining updated records ensures that authorities can effectively monitor compliance with safety standards and respond to any incidents that may arise from the storage of these materials.
