The application is made to waters, which are not used as a source of potable water and is made for the control of mosquitoes or flies and the application procedure requires approval pursuant to the provisions of 7:30-9.2(a) or the application is made by the appropriate lead agency operating under the provisions of the Mosquito Extermination statutes (26:9-1 et seq.);

3. The application is made to retention basins, drainage ditches with no water flow, and similar sites that are designed to collect and retain water for percolation back into the ground, which are not used as a source of potable water, and where there is no normal outflow into natural waterways; or

4. The application is made with an aquatic pesticide which qualifies as a "minimum risk" pesticide exempted from regulation by 7:30-2.1(m)5.
