Quote:Accepted decontamination protocols for Utah follow:[signature]
The decontamination process is for the sole purpose of killing and removing AIS to avoid inadvertent transfer between one locale and another. Desiccation either by drying, scalding water wash (140° F) that includes high and low pressure to remove attached AIS, or freezing (less than 32° F for more than 72 consecutive hours) is effective at killing all life forms of AIS. And, in limited situations some chemicals are helpful. However, any use of decontamination chemicals must be limited to agencies/persons with pesticide applicator permits and Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point plans that address licensed application purpose and application rates, disposal concerns, and user safety issues.
