(9) Phosphorous paste products.(11) Terpene polychlorinates (65 or 66% chlorine) consisting of chlorinated camphene, pinene and related polychlorinates (Strobane).(b) The following pesticides shall be registered and used for the following purposes only: (1) Aldrin for use as a termite control.(2) Dieldrin for use as a termite control.(3) Lindane or leafminer, bark beetle, powder post beetle, or borer control, or for prescribed use on humans by a physician licensed by the State of Connecticut, or for prescribed use on animals by a veterinarian licensed by the State of Connecticut.(4) Endrin for use as a mouse control in commercial orchards.(5) Sodium fluoride for use as a wood preservative.(6) Strychnine for use as a rat and mouse control.(7) Heptachlor to control subterranean termites when the method involves soil injection, trench application, or other soil incorporation method of application.(c) The following pesticides shall not be registered or used for the following purposes: (1) Any pesticide activated by thermal means, except pyrethrum, pyrethrins or pyrethoroids, for indoor application, except indoor application for agricultural purposes;(2) Captan on pets or other animals;(3) Chlordane products (A) for indoor applications except by applicators licensed by the State of Connecticut;(B) on pets or other animals except by veterinarians licensed by the State of Connecticut;(C) for indoor or outdoor application by mistblowers and other mist generators or thermal foggers.(4) Any antifouling paint or other substance containing a tributyltin compound for use or application on vessels or other structures or equipment in fresh water or the marine environment, except as provided in subparagraphs (B), (C) and (D) of this subdivision. (A) For the purposes of this subdivision the following terms are defined as follows: "Antifouling paint" means a compound, coating, paint, or treatment applied or used for the purpose of controlling fouling organisms on vessels and other structures or equipment in marine or fresh water.
"Commerical boatyard" means a facility that engages for hire in the construction, storage, maintenance, repair, or refurbishing of vessels.
"Release rate" means the rate at which a tributyltin compound is released from an antifouling paint containing a tributyltin compound over the long term, as measured using:
(1) The American Society for Testing Material (ASTM) standard test method which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency required in its July 29, 1986, data call-in notice on tributyltin compounds used in antifouling paints; or(2) Any alternative method adopted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and published in the Federal Register. "Tributyltin compound" means any organotin compound that has three normal butyl groups attached to a tin atom and with or without an anion, such as chloride, fluoride, oxide.
"Vessel" means every description of watercraft, other than a seaplane on water, used or capable of being used as a means of transportation on water.
(B) A person may distribute or sell an antifouling paint containing a tributyltin compound with a release rate equal to or less than 4.0 micrograms per square centimeter per day to the owner or agent of a commercial boatyard.(C) The owner or agent of a commercial boatyard may possess and apply or purchase for application an antifouling paint containing a tributyltin compound with a release rate equal to or less than 4.0 micrograms per square centimeter per day, if such antifouling paint is applied only within a commercial boatyard and:(i) is applied to vessels exceeding 25 meters in length; or(ii) is applied to aluminum hulls.(D) This subsection does not prohibit the sale, application or possession of an antifouling paint containing a tributyltin compound if such antifouling paint: (i) is in a spray can of 16 ounces or less;(ii) is commonly referred to as an outboard or lower drive unit paint and labeled for such purpose; and(iii) has a release rate equal to or less than 4.0 micrograms per square centimeter per day.Conn.
