585 - OperationLiquid and air circuitsFilling/washing location requirementsWhen filling the sprayer with chemicals and water it is important to avoid spot contamination by spray chemicals inorder to protect the subsoil water resources.A. If the mistblower is always filled at the same place, a special filling/washing location should be established. Thisshould have a hard, liquid-impenetrable surface (e.g. concrete) securing against seepage and edges securingagainst run-off to the surrounding areas. The place should be drained to an adequate receptacle (e.g. slurry tankor similar).Any spillage or washings should be retained and diluted in order to be distributed on a larger area to ensureminimal environmental impact and avoid build-up of larger chemical concentrations at one spot.If no other requirements of distances exist, the following general recommendation of distance could be used. Notcloser than:1) 50 metres from public water supplies for drinking purposes,2) 25 metres from non-public water supplies for drinking purposes, treatment sumps and cesspools of drainagesystems, and3) 50 metres from surface water (watercourses, lakes and coastal waters) and from nature reserves.B. Alternatively the sprayer can be filled in the field where the spraying is to take place. If so, choose a differentlocation for each refilling.If no other requirements of distances exist, the filling should not be established closer than:1) 300 metres from public or non-public water supplies for drinking purposes and2) 50 metres from surface water (watercourses, lakes and coastal waters), treatment sumps, cesspools of drainagesystems, and nature reserves.ATTENTION! Legislation and requirements vary from country to country. Always follow local legislation in force atany time.NOTE! It is the responsibility of the sprayer owner/operator to comply with all relevant legislation.
