WHEREAS:
A.
the Municipal Council of The Corporation of the District of Oak Bay is concerned
about the non-essential use of pesticides and the risk that pesticides may pose to
the natural environment;
B.

SCHEDULE "A"
DISTRICT OF OAK BAY
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT POLICY
1.
Purpose
This policy describes the approach to pest management used on public lands
within the District of Oak Bay. The Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach
is designed to eliminate the non-essential use of pesticides.
IPM is not a single pest control method but, rather, is a series of pest management
evaluations, decisions and controls. It is consistent with the precautionary
principle as set out in the Pesticide Regulation Bylaw.
2.
Need for Policy
Many citizens are concerned about the amount and location of pesticide
applications and associated health and environmental impacts. The Municipality
recognizes its unique location and environment and celebrates the need to
safeguard its waterways, ecological habitats, and cultural heritage. An IPM policy
is an important component in environmental stewardship of these features. This
IPM policy demonstrates Oak Bay's commitment to eliminating non-essential
pesticide use on public lands, with the highest standards possible.
3.
Definitions
Action level: The level of pest population establishment when action must be
taken to prevent the population from reaching the injury level.
Biological control: The use of living organisms (parasites, predators, pathogens)
that have been approved by the Pest Management Regulator Agency (PMRA) or
Health Canada to manage pests.
Chemical control: The use of a synthetic chemical pesticide to suppress or
control a pest.
Cultural practices: Management practices that focus on the prevention of pests
by maintaining healthy hosts through proper planting, pruning, mulching,
irrigation, nutrient requirements and sanitation practices.
Early detection / rapid response (EDRR): A coordinated approach to invasive
species or noxious weed management that focuses on identifying, surveying, and
monitoring selected areas to detect populations of invasive species that are new to
Bylaw No. 4518
8
or approaching a region, and to prevent their expansion at or before their earliest
stage of establishment.
Ecological approach: Planning and management activities that consider
ecosystems and the relationships among and between all organisms, including
humans, and their environment.
Ecosystem: A complex system of organisms and their physical environment that
function together, circulating nutrients and energy.
Invasive species: An alien species whose introduction does or is likely to cause
environmental or economic harm, or harm to human health.
Injury threshold: The point in growth of a pest problem where it will cause an
unacceptable impact upon: public safety, recreation or health; natural and/or
managed ecosystems; economic injury to desirable plants; or the integrity,
function or service life of facilities.
Integrated pest management (IPM): A process for managing pest populations
that includes the following elements:
(a) planning and managing ecosystems to prevent organisms from becoming
pests;
(b) identifying pest problems and potential pest problems;
(c) monitoring populations of pests and beneficial organisms, damage caused by
pests, and environmental conditions;
(d) using injury thresholds in making treatment decisions;
(e) suppressing pest populations to acceptable levels using strategies based on
considerations of biological, physical, cultural, mechanical, behavioural and
chemical controls in appropriate combinations, and environmental and human
health protection; and
(f) evaluating the effectiveness of pest management treatments.
Integrated pest management program: A program for managing pest
populations or reducing damage caused by pests, using integrated pest
management principles. The IPM program is implemented through a series of
landscape-specific plans that describe the methods of handling, preparing, mixing,
applying and otherwise using pesticides and pest management methods within
that program.
Native species: Organisms that have not been introduced to a place by people or
their direct activities; that are known to have existed in an area prior to the
influence of humans.
Bylaw No. 4518
9
Natural areas: Spaces containing representative biological, physical or historical
components. They either retain or have had re-established a natural character,
although they need not be completely undisturbed.
Noxious weeds: Plant species that are capable of causing ill health in humans.
Permitted pesticide: A pesticide listed in Appendix 1 to this policy.
Pest: An injurious, noxious or troublesome living organism, but does not include
a virus, bacteria, fungus or internal parasite that exists on or in humans or
animals.
Pesticide: A micro-organism or material that is represented, sold, used or
intended to be used to prevent, destroy, repel or mitigate a pest, and includes:
(a) a plant growth regulator, plant defoliator or plant desiccant;
(b) a control product as defined in the Pest Control Products Act (Canada); and
(c) a substance that is classified as a pesticide by regulation under the Integrated
Pest Management Act;
Precautionary principle: The principle that the absence of full scientific
certainty shall not be used as a reason to postpone decisions where there is a risk
of serious or irreversible harm.
Preventative measures: Management practices that are directed towards
preventing the establishment of pests (e.g., site design, generic material, optimal
site selection for plant material, proper planting and cultural practices, etc.)
4.
Policy Statement
The Municipality will manage pests through an IPM program that is designed to
eliminate the non-essential use of pesticides by applying the following principles
and practices:
4.1
Principles
(a) Ecosystems will be managed and landscapes planned to prevent organisms
from becoming pests. An ecological approach that uses appropriate
preventative measures will be applied, with consideration given to native
species diversity.
(b) Safeguarding human health, the environment, and non-target organisms will
be primary considerations when developing pest management strategies,
action levels and injury thresholds.
Bylaw No. 4518
10
(c) A formal system will be undertaken to monitor populations of pests and
beneficial organisms, pest damage, and environmental conditions. Monitoring
means the regular surveying of sites and/or features to understand and identify
the location and extent of potential pest management problems.
(d) Written, photographic, and map records will be maintained and used to record
monitoring data and to develop future pest management plans. Records will
describe the target pest, implementation timetables, specific management
factors used, alternative methods assessed and/or implemented, type and
quantity of pesticide used, site and area of application, certification that
notification was made, measurable responses to treatments; costs and amounts
labour and materials used; results of pest management upon ecosystems and
aesthetic values; economic injury to desirable plants, if any, and/or to the
integrity, function, or service life of facilities. All of this information shall
inform the decision-making process and be used in the evaluation of each IPM
plan.
(e) Data collected through monitoring and record-keeping will be used to
regularly evaluate treatment effectiveness. This includes analysis of treatment
strategies and the modification of existing Pest Management Plans.
(f) As a provincially accredited pesticide licence holder, the Municipality will
submit an Annual Report of Pesticide Use to the Ministry of Environment.
(g) An education program will be initiated that:
(i) encourages the community to accept higher levels of weeds in exchange
for diminished use of synthetic chemicals, and
(ii) informs the community about pest occurrences and threats with the goal of
encouraging changes in behavior that result in improved pest control and
reduced threats.
(h) Potential and confirmed pest problems will be addressed using a combination
of cultural, physical, mechanical, biological, behavioural, and chemical
treatments to suppress pests to acceptable levels. Greater emphasis shall be
placed on prevention and reduction than control.
(i) Injury thresholds and action levels for each landscape type will be established
and used in making treatment decisions.
(j) Chemical pesticides will be used only when other options are not available,
feasible, or effective. The least toxic pesticide that effectively controls the pest
will be used. Such pesticides generally have short residual effects and/or
specifically affect target pests. Such pesticides:
(i) are least disruptive of natural (e.g., biological) controls;
Bylaw No. 4518
11
(ii) are least hazardous to human health;
(iii) minimize negative impacts to non-target organisms; and
(iv) are least damaging to the general environment.
(k) Treatment actions shall be applied during the most vulnerable time in the life-
cycle of the pest while having the least impact on natural predators and non-
target organisms.
(l) An early detection / rapid response (EDRR) approach will be adopted to
ensure new pests are prevented from spreading, with the goal being
eradication.
(m) Cost-effectiveness will be determined and applied, inclusive of long-term
maintenance of various public facilities and landscapes.
4.2
Training
To ensure appropriate and current understanding and implementation of IPM
principles, municipal staff involved in pest management will be provided with
necessary and appropriate training, including but not limited to Pesticide
Applicator's certification and qualification for the Plant Health BC Pest
Management Accreditation program.
4.3
Compliance and Coordination
The IPM Program shall be managed and coordinated by a municipal staff person
who is a licensed pesticide applicator.
5.
Regulatory Context and Application
The implementation of the IPM policy is subject always to applicable federal and
provincial enactments including but not necessarily limited to: Pest Control
Products Act (Canada), Fisheries Act (Canada), Migratory Birds Convention Act
(Canada), Plant Protection Act, Workers' Compensation Act, Integrated Pest
Management Act and Regulations, Environmental Management Act, Weed
Control Act, Wildlife Act, and Invasive Plants Regulation (Forest and Range
Practices Act). The IPM policy applies to all land vested in the District of Oak
Bay.
6.
Treatment Notices
Bylaw No. 4518
12
6.1
Regulatory Requirements
Any municipal department or contractor doing work for the Municipality that is
using pesticides must post a Treatment Notice in compliance with the
requirements set out in the Integrated Pest Management Regulation, Section 10.
Blank forms are available from the Ministry of Environment.
The following specifications apply to a Treatment Notice:
(a) Treatment Notice Size
The minimum size of the treatment notice for outdoor posting is
approximately standard letter size (22 x 28 cm). The notice is to be clearly
visible to a person approaching a treated area. It may be appropriate to
increase the size of the notice so that it can be posted at less frequent intervals
around the treatment area and still meet the "clearly visible" requirement.
(b) Treatment Notice Content
The following is provided to assist in completing the content requirements:
(i) Description of the treatment area: must be specific enough to allow the
reader to accurately identify the area being treated.
(ii) Name of targeted pest: describe either the pest or the pest complex. Be
specific enough to allow the reader to confirm that the pest is listed on
the pesticide label (e.g., leafrollers, powdery mildew, broadleaf weeds).
(iii) Registration number and active ingredient(s) of the pesticides to be used:
these are Pest Control Product Act (Canada) Registration numbers and
the active ingredients under the "Guarantee" on the pesticide label.
(iv) Date and start time and any proposed alternate dates for pesticide use: are
to be listed so that the public knows when the treatment was done or is to
be done. An alternate date and time should be provided if a treatment
may be postponed due to adverse weather conditions (e.g. rain or winds
over 8 km/hr). The alternate date is not to be used to identify possible re-
treatments: new notices should be posted close to the actual treatment
date.
(v) Name of licensee and license number and a phone number of the licensee
where a person can obtain more information: where a person can obtain
information on the treatment method or what will be or was treated.
(vi) Precautions to minimize exposure to a pesticide or its residues, including
the period during which people should not enter a treated area: when
such precautions are specified on a label or Material Safety Data Sheets,
these should be included on the posted notice. A typical precaution is to
Bylaw No. 4518
13
avoid contact with treated areas. For unprotected worker re-entry to a
treated site, WorkSafeBC has identified minimum re-entry times. These
should be placed on the notice when appropriate.
(c) Locations for Treatment Notice Postings
The primary aim in posting treatment notices is to ensure that individuals
entering a treatment area are aware that treatment will occur near their
residences, or for general public areas so that individuals are alerted that
treatment has occurred before they enter the treatment area. Suggested
locations for posting include:
(i) So that it can be seen as a person approaches each gate or opening to a
treatment that occurs within a fenced area; and
(ii) At intervals around the treated area so that a notice will be clearly visible to
anyone approaching the treated area from the different directions that it
may be accessed. The spacing of notices will depend on the size of the
notice and lettering. Notices should generally be posted beside paths
leading to a treated area.
Note that the Integrated Pest Management Regulation stipulates that posting is
required when a pesticide is used in an outdoor public use area, defined as a
landscaped area maintained for public passage or recreation. The Ministry of
Environment considers examples of these areas to be: turf in parks, ornamental
beds in parks where people walk or play and areas immediately adjacent to
them, school playgrounds and fields, the land around bus stops and rest areas
and points of interest; and boulevards in residential and commercial areas
(where people may walk across them). Examples of areas that the Ministry of
Environment considers do not require posting are boulevards and medians
along highways or in industrial areas, away from residential or commercial
buildings and stopping areas.
6.2
Additional Notification Effort
In addition to the above regulatory notice requirements, the Municipality shall
take further steps to inform and educate the public about the IPM program, as
follows:
(a) When required to post signs:
(i) At a location where a synthetic pesticide is to be used, Treatment Notices
will be printed on red paper or paper with a red border. On the back of
each notice, text will be provided that explains in plain terms why a
synthetic chemical is being used; for example, to control an infestation of
introduced alien plant that threatens a rare native species or critical habitat.
Bylaw No. 4518
14
(ii) At a location where a fertilizer is to be used, a notice will be printed on
green paper or paper with a green border that provides the dates and nature
of treatment and a contact name and number the public can use if they
have questions.
(b) At a location where a permitted pesticide is to be used, Treatment Notices will
be printed on yellow paper or paper with a yellow border. On the back of each
notice, text will be provided that explains in plain terms why the treatment is
being applied; for example, to control weeds where other methods have failed.
7.
Exclusions
The IPM policy does not apply to the use of a pesticide for the following purposes
or in the following situations, as the case may be:
(a) in a public pool;
(b) to purify water intended for the use of human beings or animals;
(c) inside a building;
(d) to control or destroy animals or plants that constitute a danger to human
beings; and
(e) to control or destroy structure-destroying insects.
