The owner/operator of the retail fertilizer/agrichemical dealership is responsible for the management of the business. He is responsible for managing, supervising and controlling all aspects of the operation to achieve desired goals. A foundation goal is to provide needed products and helpful services to customers in the service area. An inherent goal, of course, is to make a reasonable profit on the products and services. Still another goal, as will be noted repeatedly in this book, should be to protect and enhance the environment. Information in this book is intended to reinforce dealers in their pursuit of the environmental objective. This involves a lot of things, including: Understanding how air and water can become contaminated; Assessing the vulnerability of the plant site; Implementing containment measures that are fully adequate for both fertilizer and agrichemical products; Knowledge of local, state and federal requirements related to safety and to protection of water and air quality; Development of effective plans for dealing with emergencies and for informing employees and others about the materials handled by the dealership.
