The Herbicide BankFrom the beginning of the Uplands Herbicide Bank in 2000, the program has provided chemicals at no charge to public land managers for conducting invasive plant management on conservation land. Funding has varied over the years, but to date the ‘Bank’ has provided $12,134,033 of chemicals that were used to treat invasive plants on 600,500 acres of public conservation land. For private contractors, chemicals typically comprise up to 10% of the total project cost-their major cost being labor. Thus, in comparison, that $12 million of “free” chemicals has saved the Uplands Program ten times that amount in “free” labor. Now that’s a bargain!
Introduction
How do I request chemicals from the Herbicide Bank?As in previous years, requests will be submitted to the Herbicide Bank using the Request Form (Appendix A). All requests are subject to approval by the Uplands Program administrator. Approved requests will be filled in the order they are received, as funding allows. An Annual Summary Report (Appendix B) must be submitted with or prior to the Request Form. The report should summarize use of Bank-provided chemicals in the previous fiscal year(s). One report should be completed for each management unit (park, forest, etc.), but the reports may be bundled as part of a regional request.In the past, proposals were sometimes submitted to a working group solely for receiving chemicals for in-house maintenance, with no contractual work required. Instead, these proposals should be forwarded directly to program staff, as per below. These may be initial or maintenance proposals. However, the easier way to do this is to submit a Request Form, instead of a full working group proposal, as is most commonly done today.
Who may request chemicals from the Herbicide Bank?IMPORTANT! The Herbicide Bank will no longer accept single orders from individual site managers.Any agency staff responsible for vegetation management activities on public conservation land (PCL) may use the Herbicide Bank, whether or not prior invasive plant control operations were funded by the FWC (or DEP) Uplands Program. All agency requests for chemicals must be coordinated internally at the highest practical operational level. State natural resource agencies are typically divided into Districts or Regions. So, for example, the Florida Park Service would submit one request for all of the parks within District 1. Ideally, a request will include the chemicals needed for one year of control operations, which will shipped to a single central facility. If storage is an issue, or if sites within a district are far apart (e.g., Palm Beach and Key West are in the same park district), orders may be split into two deliveries within the year or shipped to two different warehouse facilities.Cities and counties are more likely to have a central maintenance yard where all chemicals can be stored, so a request should be submitted by the Director of Operations, or equivalent. However, if a local agency has one facility for their parks department and one for their conservation areas, the order can be shipped to each facility. Ideally, the parks director and the preserves director will coordinate their needs before submitting a request. But if it is more practical to submit one order from each director, that is allowed.Some areas, like Everglades National Park, are so large that they may have multiple delivery locations. However, even in that situation, there should be coordination within that federal region amongst site managers. The intent of this procedural change is for land managers to cooperate, coordinate, and collaborate with each other to plan for their management needs on a landscape level. Vendors deliver orders at their cost (factored into their bid prices), so a coordinated delivery system will be more cost-efficient for them, which will lead to better pricing for the State in the future.
What projects are eligible for requesting chemicals from the Herbicide Bank?Any management unit conducting maintenance control of FLEPPC Category I and II invasive species on public conservation land (PCL) is qualified to request chemicals from the Bank. Any initial control of Category I or CISMA-listed EDRR species may also be eligible.
Herbicide Bank Operational Procedures
What chemicals are eligible for requesting from the Herbicide Bank?The products on the FWC ITB 15/16-139 Bid Tab (Appendix D) that are available through the Herbicide Bank are listed in Appendix C. The ITB is a statewide agency term contract that covers most common herbicides and adjuvants. Chemicals that are not typically used for natural areas management (e.g., basagran, carbaryl, carfentrazone, and dicamba) are not provided by the Bank. Aquatic plant control is not authorized under the Uplands Program; however, some aquatic chemicals (e.g., Clearcast®) are increasingly used in terrestrial settings and are eligible for request.
Glyphosate products are available through the Bank; however, this is a separate bid award (Appendix E). This has no affect on bank requests, but should be noted by agencies wishing to use the FWC ITB (see below).
Note:For control of difficult grasses (Natal, Napier, cogon, etc.), the recommended tank mix is glyphosate (2-3%), imazapyr (0.5-1%), and a methylated seed oil or limonene oil surfactant (label rate). In situations where imazapyr cannot be used (near sensitive species), imazapic can be substituted for imazapyr.
Milestone® is very effective on legumes, such as rosary pea. It is also effective on skunk vine, air-potato, and other species that people are trying it on. Check with UF-IFAS for up-to-date news on susceptible species. While Milestone® is an expensive product, only a small amount is needed for control; thus, the cost-effectiveness is high.
Resistance management is required for the use of glyphosate herbicides. A chemical with a secondary mode of action should be added to mixes at least every other year, depending upon the species being treated. Species that historically have been treated only with glyphosate are of the greatest concern; however, all grasses should be on a chemical rotation cycle, regardless of how long they have been in the state. Metsulfuron-methyl (“Escort”) for lygodium or imazapyr (“Arsenal”) for cogon grass are two common ‘kicker’ chemicals. Current research is being conducted to find other effective tank mixes for the more problematic plants.
What do I do with all these empty chemical containers piling up on my site?RECYCLE! USAg Recycling provides a free service through the Ag Container Recycling Council for this very purpose. Information is included in Appendix F, or you can check their website: www.usagrecycling.com
Remember: You are responsible for following all label directions when using any product. The label is the law!

“Piggybacking” and Other Agencies’ Use of the FWC ITB
FWC ITB 15/16-139 is a statewide agency term contract. All FWC employees are required to use this contract for purchasing awarded chemicals. Other public agencies may choose to use the contract; however, this ITB is not an alternate source contract (ASC). State agencies must first get DMS approval to “piggyback” on this contract.
The State of Florida is tax-exempt. Public agencies should check invoices for added sales tax. Your agency may be asked by the vendor to provide a tax-exempt certificate. All bid prices are FOB, so there should not be a delivery/freight charge on any invoice, either.

MANAGING AGENCY FY REPORTED
This form must accompany (or precede) each request for chemicals from the Herbicide Bank.
For the previous fiscal year(s) in which chemicals were requested and used, provide information in the table below. Only chemicals obtained from the Herbicide Bank should be reported. A copy of the order(s) placed with a vendor is sent to the requestor. Use the project number on the order form for the PID above. If the chemicals requested were used across fiscal years, multiple years may be reported in a single report (i.e., when the total amount has been used up). However, only one form may be submitted for each management unit (e.g., county park, state forest, wildlife refuge, etc.). Bank customers are advised to keep a clear audit trail of their chemical inventory, its source(s), and oversight controls.
Instructions For each species controlled, list the scientific name, the control method used (cut stump, basal bark, foliar, mechanical, etc.), the total number of acres treated (preferably from GIS), the brand or chemical name of the herbicides used and the % rate applied, and the name/type of adjuvant used (if supplied by the Bank) and total quantity used.
