Docusign Envelope ID: 083641DF-6CF3-410A-AB96-E6A03350484D Updated 2024        Docusign Envelope ID: 083641DF-6CF3-410A-AB96-E6A03350484D Background and Purpose On May 2nd, 2006, City Council adopted Resolution No. 57-06 Establishing a Policy on Integrated Pest Management (Attachment A) to meet requirements in the Municipal Storm Water Discharge Permit CAS0029831 issued by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board to the Alameda Countywide Clean Water Program (Permit). The IPM Policy set forth guiding principals for the development and implementation of an IPM Policy on all City owned facilities to accomplish the following: 1) Minimize pesticide use at City facilities to ensure that the City remains in compliance with the Permit by applying the IPM Policy; 2) Reduce the use of broad-spectrum pesticides when feasible; 3) Conduct outreach and provide the means of educating all City Staff to create awareness about IPM and the use of alternative pest management techniques; and 4) Reduce the adverse impacts to water quality (both in local creeks and the San Francisco Bay) due to pesticide usage, particularly from copper-based pesticides, 2-4-d based herbicides and organophosphate pesticides. After the adoption of Resolution No. 57-06, the Permit has been revised three times. The third reissuance of the Municipal Regional Stormwater National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit (MRP) requires Permittees to develop a pesticide toxicity control program for use of pesticides in its municipal operations and on municipal property. The program must be based on the concepts of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and Permittees must have an IPM policy and associated Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) to implement the policy. The purpose of the IPM Policy and SOPs (Policy) is to prevent the impairment of urban streams by pesticide-related toxicity. The pesticides known to impact water quality which are included in MRP 3 has expanded to include those listed below. Urban-use pesticides of concern to water quality included in the MRP include: •Diamides (chlorantraniliprole and cyantraniliprole) •Diuron, fipronil, and its degradates •Indoxacarb •Organophosphorous insecticides (chlorpyrifos, diazinion, and malathion) •Pyrethroids (metoflurthrin, bifenthrin, cyfluthrin, beta-cyfluthrin, cypermethrin, deltamethrin, esfenvalerate, lambda-cyhalothrin, and permethrin) •Carbamates (e.g. carbaryl and aldicarb) •Neonicotinoids (e.g. imidacloprid, acetamiprid, and dinotefuran) •Copper-based chemicals In addition to the pesticides listed in the MRP, the City of Dublin prohibits the use of glyphosate (i.e., Roundup) and 2-4-d based herbicides on City property.        Docusign Envelope ID: 083641DF-6CF3-410A-AB96-E6A03350484D IPM Overview Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an ecosystem-based strategy that focuses on long-term prevention of pests or their damage through a combination of control methods or techniques. Pesticides are used only after monitoring indicates they are needed, according to established action thresholds and when pest threshold levels are exceeded. Understanding pest characteristics and needs is essential to implementing IPM effectively. Pests seek habitats that provide basic needs such as air, moisture, food and shelter. They often can be prevented or controlled by creating inhospitable environments, by removing basic survival elements or by simply blocking their access. An effective, long-term approach to managing pests uses a combination of non-chemical methods or techniques that work well together. Chemical control methods are used only when implementation of non-chemical control methods have been unsuccessful at reducing pests below the established action threshold for the pest. Approaches for managing pests are grouped as shown below and explained in more detail in Attachment B. Image credit: https://beehealth.uada.edu/assets/pages/beekeepingipm.html IPM Pest Management Hierarchy The IPM-based hierarchical decision-making process used to control pests will follow the five steps of IPM, as described below. Five Steps of IPM (from Pesticide.org) 1) Identify the pest. Most species of living things are NOT pests, but are contributing members of the broader ecosystem (e.g. spiders in landscape areas). By taking the time to ensure that        Docusign Envelope ID: 083641DF-6CF3-410A-AB96-E6A03350484D a suspected pest is an actual pest, a lot of unnecessary pest control efforts can be eliminated. 2) Monitor pest activity. By monitoring pest populations over time, you can determine if pests are present in numbers to be concerned about potential damage. Monitoring ensures that unnecessary treatments are avoided. 3) Determine Action Thresholds. An action threshold is the point at which further damage is considered intolerable and some kind of pest control action is required. 4) Explore treatment options and make treatments. There are many different treatment options besides pesticides and prevention should always be considered first. Exclusion is key. Using screens and caulking goes a long way to keeping pests out of buildings. Increasing levels of sanitation often plays a big role in preventing pests. a. If pesticides are deemed necessary, priority should be given to treatments that are highly targeted to the pest organism, using containerized baits when possible, and to pesticides that are least toxic to human health and the environment. Particular attention must be paid to avoid pesticides that cause water quality impairment as listed above. 5) Evaluate results. Monitoring after the treatments is how you know how effective the treatment was, and if pest populations are at acceptable levels. No further treatments are made unless monitoring shows that pests are again at action thresholds. Roles and Responsibilities 1.Public Works Manager will oversee implementation of the IPM Policy, including: i. Be knowledgeable about IPM and the IPM Policy. ii. Ensure that any permits or licenses that the City and/or its contractors need to have are maintained. iii. Ensure that contract documents require contractors to adhere to the IPM Policy. iv. Include the IPM Policy in contractor service solicitations (e.g., RFPs) and contract specifications. v.

Specific controls will be pest specific and need to be developed on a case-by-case basis. A.Cultural Controls and Sanitation are practices that reduce pest establishment, reproduction, dispersal, and survival. For example, plant resistance to pests can often be maximized by paying close attention to soil conditions and irrigation, and changing irrigation practices can reduce pest problems, since too much water can increase root disease and weeds. Sealing up food, providing proper waste storage and disposal, and educating people on good housekeeping practices are examples of cultural controls that can prevent or minimize pest problems inside or outside buildings. B.Physical and Mechanical Controls can make the environment unsuitable for pest survival. Traps for rodents are examples of mechanical control. Physical controls include mulching, mowing or hoeing for weed management. Fly screens and hand removal of pests are other examples of physical controls. C.Biological Control is the use of natural enemies such as predators, parasites, pathogens and competitors to control pests and their damage. Invertebrates, plant pathogens, nematodes, weeds and vertebrates often have natural enemies that can serve this function. Examples of natural enemies on pest populations include lacewings, ladybugs, predatory mites, and parasitoid wasps. These natural enemies can be mistaken for pests, which is why it is essential to positively identify the target “pest” before taking action. Conservation of vegetation to support beneficial insects is another example of a biological control. D.Chemical Treatments with pesticides can be necessary if established threshold levels have been so severely exceeded that other methods are ineffective. Precise recommendations or actions to achieve specific results (i.e., controlling the pest population to a manageable level) is an essential part of an IPM Program. Specific pesticide recommendations are provided by a Pest Control Advisor (PCA) and least toxic options targeting the specific pest only are preferred. Using baits and traps rather than sprays should be tried first.        Docusign Envelope ID: 083641DF-6CF3-410A-AB96-E6A03350484D
