Back siphonage occurs when pesticide solution is drawn back into the water supply during application, posing a contamination risk. NJDEP regulations (N.J.A.C. 7:30-9.11) mandate the use of check valves or anti-siphon devices to prevent this, making it a legal requirement in New Jersey. TheGeneral Pest Management: Guide for Commercial Applicators - Category 7A(Chapter 5: Pesticide Application) also emphasizes this as a standard safety practice. Option A understates the requirement, and Option B is incorrect because it is necessary and legally mandated.
