Official Manual Chapter: Chapter 11: Pesticide Storage, Disposal, and Spill Management

The standard EPA emergency spill protocol is: (1) CONTROL the spill (stop the flow, upright fallen containers, shut valves while wearing appropriate PPE); (2) CONTAIN the spread (use absorbent snakes, clay, or soil berms to keep chemical away from water bodies); (3) CLEAN up the spill (absorb, shovel into heavy-duty disposal drums, and decontaminate).
