One storage shed with doors open on both sides of the small 

 building disclosed chlorinated hydrocarbons (DDT and Endrin) and 

 phosphates (TEPP and Parathion) subject to rain and easily access- 

 ible to animals and children, several of whom were playing in a 

 nearby yard. Also, this open pesticide shed was only twenty odd 

 feet from the open door of a large barn where cows were feeding. 



A fire on a grower's premises destroyed a building where 

 pesticides were normally stored. The ensuing year's pesticide 

 supply was stored in another building where the field workers ate 

 their lunch. For some unaccountable reason, probably communica- 

 tion failure, the owner was horrified to find the help still eat- 

 ing their lunch in the same building and using the pesticides, some 

 of which were \/ery toxic, as a back rest! 



Situate so that water from storage area will not drain into or 

 through pasture or lots where cattle, poultry or other live- 

 stock might feed. 



C. Situate so that water from storage area will not drain into 

 streams or ponds . 



D. Stone fill at base is desirable as sump to trap any leakage 

 from spilled or broken containers. 



Adhering to these instructions would alleviate many of the 

 problems encountered in the grower storages visited.
