What is the definition of a 'special permit' in regard to New Hampshire pesticide rules?

• A. A document issued by the division approving the use of pesticides in restricted areas including but not limited to mosquito control, aquatic nuisance control, aerial application, bird control, forest pest control, right of way pest control
• B. A general license for pesticide use
• C. A permit to import pesticides
• D. A certificate for applying pesticides for home lawn care

Answer: (A)

A special permit is a specific authorization from the pesticide division that lets you use pesticides in restricted or sensitive settings and for certain specialized programs. It applies to activities like mosquito control, aquatic nuisance control, aerial application, bird control, forest pest control, and right-of-way pest control, where extra oversight and conditions are required. This differs from a general license for pesticide use, a permit to import pesticides, or a certificate for applying pesticides for home lawn care, each of which serves a different purpose and does not cover those restricted or specialized applications. The special permit ensures the applicator and project meet the extra safety, environmental, and procedural requirements tied to high-risk uses.
