Equipment used to handle and mix Compound 1080 must be identified and used only for this purpose, c. All containers of Compound 1080 or Compound 1080-treated baits must be clearly labeled. Baits must not take the form of any food normally consumed by humans. 9. All bait removed from locked containers for use shall be carried only in zippered canvas pouches marked in red letters "Poison Grain." The bag shall remain closed at all times except when bait is actually being applied. 10. Bait acceptance trials will be conducted before treatment to determine whether Columbian ground squirrels are accepting grain baits. 11. Both Montana Fish and Game personnel and regional U.S. Fish and Wildlife Endangered Species personnel will be consulted to insure that areas where treatment is proposed are not occupied by threatened or endangerd species! 12. W'hite gloves shall be worn by all persons handling Compound 1080 grain bait as indicators of dermal exposure. 13. Washing facilities shall be made readily available by the supervising certified government pesticide applicator. 14. Compound 1080 grain bait shall be applied only during seasons when Columbian ground squirrels are accepting grain and the majority of the population is active above'ground. The seasons shall be determined locally by the certified government pesticide applicator in consultation with the . Department of Agriculture's verterbrate pest control biologists. 15. Compound 1080 grain bait shall not be used in situations where threatened endangered species (tfald eagle, grizzly bear. Northern Rocky Mountain wolf) may be adversely affected.

Department of Agricultuie, or Department of Livestock. 20. It is recommended that landowners create periodic nightly disturbances near treated field for several d..vs following `i> .,tment. The purpose is to keep nonta'-eet species such as ccyotes, domestic dogs, and others out of the treated areas during immediate post-treatment period. These disturbances could be created by the use of loud 'adios, firecra ker ropes, or firing of rifles, etc. Such disturbances should ot be carried out to extremes (i.e., use of acetylene guns'. 21. Any suspected or reported nontarget species problem reported to, or discovered by, an applicator shall be immediately reported to 'he Montana Department of Agriculture in Helena. 22. No lands will be treated within one mile of incorporated or unincorporated cities and towns except those areas approved for treatment by the county commission or city-county commission in consultation with the Montana Department of Agriculture. 23.
