Are farm cooperatives that supply products to farmers covered by Subcategory E regulations?
Yes, if those cooperatives formulate, package, or repackage pesticide products that are covered by the scope of the rule, and discharge or have the potential to discharge the resulting wastewater. Many farm cooperatives package pesticides from bulk into smaller minibulk (refillable) containers that are delivered to the end user (i.e., the farmer). The water used to clean/rinse these minibulk containers is a covered wastewater under the rule (Subpart E).
