The size of campus grounds that are maintained in accordance with a four-tiered IPM plan :
A brief description of the IPM plan(s) :
Pomona's Sustainable Operations and Maintenance Standards state that outdoor pests shall be managed in a way that protects the surrounding environment and human health. To minimize use of chemicals and prevent pests from becoming a threat, Grounds must inspect and monitor outdoor facilities, sanitize and manage pest attractants, engage in structural maintenance, and evaluate the need for pest control. If the need for chemical controls is established, Grounds can only use substances in targeted locations on targeted species. All substances must meet San Francisco's Tier 3 hazard criteria for a least toxic pesticide, and if cleaning products are used, they must be in accordance with the College's Green Cleaning Program. Pesticides are acceptable only if they are used in self-contained baits and placed in inaccessible locations. Indoor management of pests follows similar procedures. The EPA IPM guidelines are equivalent, as Pomona's Standards require evaluation, targeted application, prevention, and guidelines for the selection and application of pest control substances.
