The FAA inspector reported that the airplane experienced a loss of engine power and the pilot executed a forced landing on a river levee. During the landing roll out, the right wing impacted a pole resulting in structural damage to the wing and flap. There were no reported eyewitnesses to the accident. The pilot did not possess a Part 137 certificate for aerial application. The pilot did not return any of the several NTSB accident report forms that were sent to his last known address. Several telephone messages left for the pilot were unanswered and his current telephone number is unlisted.
Probable Cause: a loss of engine power for undetermined reasons. A factor was the lack of suitable terrain for a forced landing.
