We want to draw your attention to #12 as a stepwise process to initiate mosquito abatement operations. In particular, if you wish to perform aerial application of adulticide for control of disease vectors or other pests of public health significance, a local health director must request to be exempted from NCDA&CS rules pertaining to agricultural aerial application of insecticide (this is where you include the 6 points of information previously referenced). Examples of letters used by Dare County in 2011 are attached for your reference as numbers 13 and 14.
These shapefiles that contain base layers of spray zones based on densely populated areas and threatened and endangered species. Each individual shape file will, however, need to be tailored to the unique needs of where you believe spraying will be appropriate. Attachment 11 contains suggested GIS layers for your map. As you plan for control operations please consider coordination with neighboring counties as this may achieve cost reduction.
Through this response we have greatly appreciated your patience as we have attempted to support you. This has been a complex response and will likely continue over the next few weeks. While there has been much focus on aerial application of insecticides, our history with hurricanes indicates that some, but not all, counties will pursue that as a control option. We want to and will provide support regardless of the control options you choose.
