Are applicators responsible for cleaning up fumigant leaks on public roadways?

The responsibility for cleaning up fumigant leaks on public roadways typically falls to municipal or city authorities rather than individual applicators. This is based on regulations and protocols established for public safety where governmental agencies are designated to handle hazardous material spills, including fumigants. Applicators are trained to manage risks and implement safety measures during fumigation processes, but they are not held personally liable for incidents occurring on public infrastructure. Their role primarily involves ensuring that the fumigation process is handled safely and effectively on the property they are treating, while public agencies take care of broader public safety concerns, including cleanup on roadways.
