Except for those persons or firms authorized by lease agreement to conduct agricultural spraying operations from the airport at the time the ordinance codified in this chapter was approved no lease shall be approved allowing the conduct of an agricultural spraying operation from the airport unless the potential lessee agrees to construct a facility for the mixing, loading and storing of chemicals and pesticides which would prevent chemicals or contaminated water from entering the ground, septic or sewer system of the facility. Approval may be given after reviewing facility plans with appropriate agencies to determine the safety and effective working of the facility. Those lessees authorized to conduct agricultural spraying operations from the airport shall keep all leased property in a clean and orderly condition at all times, and the area shall be free from chemical odors, as much as possible. All chemicals shall be handled, loaded and stored safely. Persons engaged in this activity shall be in compliance with all city, state and federal rules and regulations regarding agricultural chemical handling and application, and shall be correctly permitted and/or licensed to conduct such activity.
