Operator ID for San Diego County
____________________________________________
Overview
An Operator's ID is a county document which allows you to buy the necessary chemicals (pesticides, hebicides, sulfur etc) which are needed for your vineyard. Grangetto's (etc) will not sell you Thiolux, Admire, Goal, Surflan and many other chemicals without one on record every year.
It is easy to get. There is no test. You should call them at 858-694-8980, and will probably have to go down to their office at 5555 Overland Ave., San Diego CA. It is an efficient process and the folks who administer it have always been courteous and effective when we dealt with them. An ag inspector will confirm the description of your operation and (most important) check to see that you have a safe, lockable chemical storage area.
You will need to report each chemical application using an online webpage. Go to the San Diego County Department of Agriculture / Weights and Measures - Pesticides web site (www.sdcounty.ca.gov/awm/pesticide_regulation.html) which doesn't appear to have any information about Operator IDs. Then select "On-Line Pesticide Use Reports - Click Here!" link and you should be able to get in.
There are a few other heavy duty chemicals which require a CertifiedPesticide Applicator's permit That requires a test. There is a very useful book available "Pesticide Safety" from UC that prepares you for thetest. Even if you are not interested in a CPA you ought to read the book.

Renewal
Question: my operator permit has expired - does anybody know whether it would be possible to extend it via online- I could not find anything on the webpage. Or do I need to show up in person again?
Answer: According to a San Diego County Agriculture Weights & Measures Department agricultural / standards inspector, operator permits are renewed automatically so long as they've received use reports. If no use reports are filed, the permits expire. If you filed reports you should have gotten your new operator ID (good for another 3 years) in the mail. If you didn't get the renewal, call them at 858-694-8980.
There's no online tool at this time to amend your operator ID registration for additional planted acreage. You'll have to call them. One of the questions they will ask is "have you filed reports for all pesticides you applied last year?" "Pesticides" include herbicides and sulfur, for example - anything with an EPA number on it.
