The board shall record all | violations of this chapter subchapter and Title 22, chapter 258- | A, including the name of the owner of the land on which the | pesticides were intended to be applied, the name of the licensed | pesticides applicator and the name of the person who contracted | the pesticide application services.

| §612. "Stop sale, use or removal" order |
|
| | When the board has reasonable cause to believe a pesticide or | device is being distributed, stored, transported or used in | violation of any of the provisions of this subchapter or of any | of the prescribed regulations under rules adopted pursuant to | this subchapter, it may issue and serve a written "stop sale, use | or removal" order upon the owner or custodian of any such that | pesticide or device. If the owner or custodian is not available | for service of the order, the board may attach the order to the | pesticide or device and notify the owner or custodian and the | registrant. The pesticide or device shall may not be sold, used | or removed until the provisions of this subchapter have been | complied with and the pesticide or device has been released in | writing under conditions specified by the board or the violation | has been otherwise disposed of as provided in this subchapter by | a court of competent jurisdiction. The issuance of such an order | shall not be considered is not a licensing or an adjudicatory | proceeding as defined by the Maine Administrative Procedure Act. |
