Filling/cleaning zone - Rules
When filling the sprayer's tank, it is essential that any undesirable contamination from agro-pharmaceutical products is
avoided, in order to protect the water table.
A. If filling is always performed in the same place, a special filling/cleaning zone should be set up. It should comprise an
impermeable surface, e.g. concrete, secured against leaks, with a raised edge to prevent any overflow. It should have
efficient drainage into a retention pond.
Any accidental spillage or rinsing water should be recovered and diluted before being sprayed over a wider area, in
order to limit the impact on the environment and avoid a concentration of products in the same location.
Unless otherwise indicated, follow the distance recommendations below. Allow a minimum of:
1) 50 metres from any public drinking water supply,
2) 25 metres from any private drinking water supply, dry wells and drainage ditches,
3) 50 metres from any expanse of water (water course, lake or sea shore) and nature reserves.
B. The sprayer can also be filled in the field itself where the treatment is to take place. The location should then be
changed for each filling.
Unless otherwise indicated, filling should not take place less than:
1) 300 metres from any public or private drinking water supply,
2) 50 metres from any expanse of water (water course, lake or sea shore), dry wells, drainage ditches or nature
reserves.
