The goal of the Indiana Pesticide State Management Plan is to provide a mechanism for protecting the quality of our ground water resource.

It is the intent of the SMP to outline various prevention, response and enforcement mechanisms available under the authorities of the Indiana Pesticide Registration Law and the Indiana Pesticide Use and Application Law.

The underlying goal of the SMP is founded on protecting ground water resources which currently meet criteria for human health protection.

This can be accomplished though a progression of coordinated steps:

Education

Voluntary best management practices (BMP's)

Necessary regulatory management approaches

Restrictions on pesticide product use where needed
