Design should include

drift management planning/strategies
buffer zone design for crops and sensitive public areas
sensitive site protections (e.g., wetlands, livestock watering sites, private property boundaries)
runoff prevention
erosion-control planning
groundwater safeguarding
erosion-control considerations and application.

Process/Skill Questions:

What drift management strategies should an applicator develop to reduce off‑target movement of herbicides during right‑of‑way or agricultural area vegetation treatments/applications?
When should buffer zones be established to protect water bodies, adjacent properties, and other sensitive sites before beginning a right‑of‑way or agricultural pesticide application?
Where must runoff‑prevention and sensitive‑site protection measures be focused when treating vegetation near wetlands, private property boundaries, or sloped terrain?
Why is groundwater safeguarding essential when applying herbicides along rights‑of‑way or agricultural fields, especially in areas with permeable soils or shallow water tables?
How should erosion‑control measures be incorporated into the application plan to prevent soil displacement and chemical movement following an application/treatment?
