User-Friendly Incidence Response Plan Links
Patrick Kelly, from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture
received a visit at the MDA from an assistant golf course
superintendent who wanted information on incident response plans.
The Assistant Superintendent was somewhat overwhelmed with the
24-page MDA incident response plan he downloaded from these website
pages:
http://mgcsa.org/main.htm
and
http://mgcsa.org/wnew.htm.
Might I suggest a couple of links that may make the process of
developing a plan more user friendly at:
http://www.mda.state.mn.us/incidentresponse/responseplan.htm
...is information on what is required in a plan.
Toward the bottom is a link to a 2-page fact sheet which is more
suitable for smaller operations such as golf courses.
The 24-page plan is not required although it is helpful. The direct
link to the 2-page plan is:

Other sources of information are located at:
1) Guidance on reporting agchem incidents:

2) Sudden AgChem Cleanups
