MIL-HDBK-1130
Existing fences not required for security or restriction to trespassing should
remain, if in good condition; unsightly and damaged fencing should be removed.
Hold painting of fences to a minimum. New fences should be installed only
when required for specific security reasons.
Insect and Rodent Control
2.4.2.3
On-site Survey. An on-site survey should be made to establish
a)
the need for, and the best means of, pest control. The survey
should consist of an inspection and report by the EFD special
assistant for applied biology and Natural Resources staff,
which will establish guidance for maximum economy,
effectiveness, efficiency, and safety in areas pertaining to:
(1)
Entomology.
(2)
Marine biology.
(3)
Rodent control.
(4)
Wood preservation.
(5)
Weed control.
(6)
Lawns, shrubs and trees.
Food, fabric, and nuisance pests.
(7)
b) Control Plan. A pest control plan should be prepared to
initiate control of disease vectors and pests at the earliest
possible time. The plan should include operations for control
of pests as determined by the inspection. Operational methods,
supplies, equipment, and transportation need to be planned.
The planning must be in sufficient detail for determination of
the pest control chemicals and application methods to be
selected.
2.4.2.4
Drainage. Storm sewers and drainage ditches should be cleaned and
repaired, when necessary, to prevent damage to roads, runways, tracks, and
structures. Storm sewers that are blocked should be chain-cleaned.
Conditions causing the formation of pools or retarding flow in ditches should
be corrected; banks should be kept smooth, and all debris, silt, mud, and
other obstructions should be removed. Drainage structures such as culverts,
inlets, and catchbasins should be cleaned and reshaped as necessary to provide
full design capacities and efficiency to prevent flooding and storm damage.
