Section ATCP 33.60 - Transporting bulk fertilizer and bulk pesticide

(1) GENERAL. An operator shall transport bulk fertilizer and bulk pesticide in a manner that prevents reasonably foreseeable and preventable hazards to persons, property and the environment.

(2) TRANSPORT VEHICLES. Containers and appurtenances used to transport bulk fertilizer or bulk pesticide shall be securely anchored to transport vehicles so that stresses from normal vehicle operation will not cause a discharge and will not cause the containers and appurtenances to move independently of the vehicle. Equipment, tools and other items carried on transport vehicles shall be secured against damaging contact with containers or appurtenances.

(3) PROTECTION AGAINST DAMAGE OR ACCESS. Containers and appurtenances used to transport bulk fertilizer or bulk pesticide shall be protected from damage or destruction, and shall be secured against access by the general public and animals.

(4) DEFECTIVE CONTAINERS. An operator may not transport bulk fertilizer or bulk pesticide in a visibly broken, defective or improperly sealed container unless that container is enclosed in another container that effectively prevents the discharge of fertilizer or pesticide.
