Hyde Park, NY

This "special permit" will enable trained workers to apply restricted-use pesticides to tree fruit for the 2016 season without "direct, on-site supervision". These DEC "special permits" are being made available to assist individuals who have difficulty taking English written tests and are therefor not certified.
Supervisor Requirements: The supervising certified applicator is required to attend the beginning portion of the English Speaking session.
