    12  in a city of more than one million, except that: (a) an emergency appli-
    13  cation  of a pesticide may be made by a camp defined in subdivisions one
    14  and two of section thirteen hundred ninety-two of this article as deter-

    34  any camp defined in subdivisions one and two of section thirteen hundred
    35  ninety-two of this article to the extent that it is not  practicable  to
    36  use  pesticide  alternatives  as  defined  in  subdivision  one  of this
    37  section.
    38    § 2.  Subdivision 7 of section 33-0303 of the environmental  conserva-
    39  tion law, as added by chapter 85 of the laws of 2010, is amended to read
