is
represented
by
this
memorandum.

Linuron
is
a
herbicide
used
to
control
germinating
and
newly
emerging
grasses
and
broad­
leafed
weeds.
It
is
applied
to
agricultural
crops,
ornamental
bulbs,
and
poplar
trees
for
use
in
shelterbelts
in
the
mid­
west.
2
Formulations
include
water
dispersable
granules,
wettable
powders,
flowable
concentrates,
and
emulsifiable
concentrates/
liquid
suspensions.

Linuron
usually
is
applied
after
a
crop
has
been
planted
but
before
weeds
emerge,
using
ground
or
aerial
equipment.
In
some
crops,
such
as
carrots
and
celery,
linuron
is
applied
to
newly
emerging
plants
as
an
over­
top
spray.
In
asparagus,
linuron
is
applied
between
cuttings
of
newly
emerging
spears
for
weed
control
during
harvest.

The

indicate
that
linuron
has
the
potential
to
contaminate
surface

by
spray
drift,
and
runoff
in
areas
with
large
amounts
of
annual
rainfall.
Modeling
results
are
higher
than
those
from
existing

data
for

targeted
to

area.

The
recommended
groundwater
drinking
water
EECs
is
5.0
ppb
(from
the
USEPA
Pesticide
in
Groundwater
Database).
The
modeling
result
is
lower
than
historical
data
from
the
USEPA
(data
>
10
years
old).
The
maximum
observed
concentration
was
5.0
ppb.
Recent
NAWQA
data
which
includes
drinking
water
wells
show
no
concentration
>
0.029
ppb.
This
recommendation
is
based
on
the
fact
that
there
are
no
obvious
changes
in
the
use
pattern
presented
in
the
June
7,
2001
Linuron
SMART
meeting.

Environmental
Fate
and
Transport
Assessment
Although
the
environmental
fate
data
base
for
parent
linuron
is
essentially
complete,
two
environmental
fate
data
requirements
(leaching/
adsorption/
desorption
and
terrestrial
field
dissipation
studies)
are
not
fulfilled.
The
environmental
fate
assessment
for
linuron
is
incomplete
and
tentative
because
information
on
the
persistence,
mobility
and
dissipation
pathways
of
several
degradates
of
linuron
is
not
available.

Parent
linuron
appears
to
be
moderately
persistent
and
relatively
immobile.
Increased
mobility
may
occur
under
specific
environmental
conditions
such
as
in
coarse
textured
soils
and
soils
with
low
levels
of
organic
matter.
Linuron
dissipates
principally
by
biotic
processes
such
as
microbial
degradation.
In
surface
soils
with
adequate
organic
matter,
the
combined
processes
of
adsorption
and
microbial
degradation
would
limit
linuron's
potential
to
migrate
to
ground
water.
Linuron
could
runoff
to
surface
water
bodies.
In
that
case,
it
would
degrade
fairly
rapidly
to
three
primary
metabolites
(desmethoxy
linuron,
desmethyl
linuron,
norlinuron,
and
3,4­
DCA,
none
of
each
is
>10%
of
the
applied
radioactivity
in
the
aerobic
soil
metabolism
study).
However,
information
on
the
persistence
and
mobility
of
these
degradates
is
not
currently
available.

Linuron
exhibits
some
of
the
properties
and
characteristics
of
chemicals
that
have
been
detected
in
ground
water,
and
linuron
itself
has
been
detected
in
ground
water
in
four
states
(Georgia,
Missouri,
Virginia
and
Wisconsin).
Linuron
is
moderately
persistent
with
an
aerobic
soil
metabolism
half­
life
ranging
from
57
to
100
days.
Because
linuron
is
sufficiently
persistent
and
may
be
mobile
under
certain
environmental
conditions,
it
has
the
potential
to
impact
ground
water
quality.

Linuron
can
be
applied
aerially
or
by
ground
spray
and
therefore
could
contaminate
surface
waters
through
spray
drift.
It
has
the
potential
to
be
somewhat
persistent
in
surface
4
waters,
particularly
those
with
low
microbiological
activity
and
long
hydrological
residence
times.
Linuron
degraded
with
a
halflife
of
less
than
3
weeks
in
nonsterile
anaerobic
silt
loam
and
sand
soil:
water
(1:
1)
systems.
It
may
be
less
persistent
in
water
and
sediment
under
anaerobic
conditions
than
under
aerobic
conditions.
Its
bioconcentration
potential
is
relatively
low.

Linuron
is
not
currently
regulated
under
the
Safe
Drinking
Water
Act,
and
water
supply
systems
are
not
required
to
sample
and
analyze
for
it.
No
Maximum
Contaminant
Level
(MCL)
or
drinking
water
health
advisories
have
been
established
for
linuron.
The
primary
treatment
processes
employed
by
most
water
systems
may
not
always
be
completely
effective
in
removing
linuron.
As
a
result,
the
Agency
does
have
some
moderate
concerns
regarding
potential
risks
of
linuron
to
surface
water
source
supply
systems.

Surface
Water
Monitoring
The
EFED
has
limited
monitoring
data
on
the
concentrations
of
linuron
in
surface
water
at
the
present
time.

The
USGS­
National
Water
Quality
Assessment
Program,
San
Joaquin
­
Tulare
Basins
analyzed
surface
water
samples
from
a
fixed
site
on
the
San
Joaquin
River
near
Vernalis,
CA.
Grab
water
samples
were
collected
biweekly
for
one
year
(1993).
Maximum
linuron
concentration
was
0.29
ppb
5
,
even
though
the
San
Joaquin
Valley
is
a
major
production
region
for
carrots
in
California
6
.

In
another
study,
the
US
Geological
Survey
(USGS)
National
Water
Quality
Assessment
Program
(NAWQA)
collected
5196
surface
water
samples
from
40
agricultural
stream
sites
through
the
nation
during
the
period
from
1992­
1998.
One
to
two
samples
were
collected
at
each
site
each
month
during
periods
when
pesticide
transport
in
the
streams
was
expected
to
be
low.
At
most
sites,
the
sampling
frequency
was
increased
to
1
to
3
samples
per
week
during
periods
when
elevated
levels
of
pesticides
were
expected
in
the
streams.
Linuron
was
detected
in
2.70%
of
the
samples
(detection
limit
=
0.01
ppb)
with
a
linuron
maximum
concentration
of
1.4
ppb
7
.

The
frequency
of
sampling
and
the
length
of
sampling
period
of
both
of
the
USGS
studies
were
not
sufficient
to
represent
the
temporal
and
spatial
requirements
for
use
in
making
regulatory
determinations
concerning
drinking
water.

Assumptions
and
Uncertainties
11,12
Index
Reservoir
The
results
from
the
index
reservoir
represent
potential
drinking
water
exposure
from
a
specific
area
(Illinois)
with
specific
cropping
patterns,
weather,
soils,
and
other
factors.
Use
of
the
index
reservoir
for
areas
with
different
climates,
crops,
pesticides
used,
sources
of
water
(e.
g.
rivers
instead
of
reservoirs,
etc),
and
hydrogeology
creates
uncertainties.
In
general,
because
the
index
reservoir
represents
a
fairly
vulnerable
watershed,
the
exposure
estimated
with
the
index
reservoir
will
likely
be
higher
than
the
actual
exposure
for
most
drinking
water
sources.
However,
the
index
reservoir
is
not
a
worst
case
scenario,
communities
that
derive
their
drinking
water
from
smaller
bodies
of
water
with
minimal
outflow,
or
with
more
runoff
prone
soils
would
likely
get
higher
drinking
water
exposure
than
estimated
using
the
index
reservoir.
Areas
with
a
more
humid
climate
that
use
a
similar
reservoir
and
cropping
patterns
may
also
get
more
pesticides
in
their
drinking
water
than
predicted
using
this
scenario.

A
single
steady
flow
has
been
used
to
represent
the
flow
through
the
reservoir.
Discharge
from
the
reservoir
also
removes
chemical
so
this
assumption
will
underestimate
removal
from
the
reservoir
during
wet
periods
and
overestimates
removal
during
dry
periods.
This
assumption
can
underestimate
or
overestimate
the
concentration
in
the
pond
depending
upon
the
annual
precipitation
pattern
at
the
site.
7
The
index
reservoir
scenario
uses
the
characteristics
of
a
single
soil
to
represent
the
soil
in
the
basin.
In
fact,
soils
can
vary
substantially
across
even
small
areas,
and
this
variation
is
not
reflected
in
these
simulations.

The
index
reservoir
scenario
does
not
consider
tile
drainage.
Areas
that
are
prone
to
substantial
runoff
are
often
tile
drained.
Tile
drainage
contributes
additional
water
and
in
some
cases,
additional
pesticide
loading
to
the
reservoir.
This
may
cause
either
an
increase
or
decrease
in
the
pesticide
concentration
in
the
reservoir.
Tile
drainage
also
causes
the
surface
soil
to
dry
out
faster.
This
will
reduce
runoff
of
the
pesticide
into
the
reservoir.
The
watershed
used
as
the
model
for
the
index
reservoir
(Shipman
City
Lake)
does
not
have
tile
drainage
in
the
cropped
areas.

EXAMS
is
unable
to
easily
model
spring
and
fall
turnover.
Turnover
occurs
when
the
temperature
drops
in
the
fall
and
the
thermal
stratification
of
the
reservoir
is
removed.
Turnover
occurs
again
in
the
spring
when
the
reservoir
warms
up.
This
results
in
complete
mixing
of
the
chemical
through
the
water
column
at
these
times.
Because
of
this
inability,
the
Index
Reservoir
has
been
simulated
without
stratification.
There
is
data
to
suggest
that
Shipman
City
Lake,
upon
which
the
Index
Reservoir
is
based,
does
indeed
stratify
in
the
deepest
parts
of
the
lake
at
least
in
some
years.
This
may
result
in
over
or
underestimation
of
the
concentration
in
drinking
water
depending
upon
the
time
of
the
year
and
the
depth
the
drinking
water
intake
is
drawing
from.

Percent
Crop
Area
Correction
Factor
The
PCA
is
a
watershed­
based
modification.
Implicit
in
its
application
is
the
assumption
that
currently­
used
field­
scale
models
reflect
basin­
scale
processes
consistently
for
all
pesticides
and
uses.
In
other
words,
we
assume
that
the
field
scale
processes
simulated
by
the
coupled
PRZM
and
EXAMS
models
are
a
reasonable
approximation
of
pesticide
fate
and
transport
within
a
watershed
that
contains
a
drinking
water
reservoir.
If
the
models
fail
to
capture
pertinent
basin­
scale
fate
and
transport
processes
consistently
for
all
pesticides
and
all
uses,
the
application
of
a
factor
that
reduces
the
estimated
concentrations
predicted
by
modeling
could,
in
some
instances,
result
in
inadvertently
passing
a
chemical
through
the
screen
that
may
actually
pose
a
risk.
Some
preliminary
assessments
made
in
the
development
of
the
PCA
suggest
that
PRZM/
EXAMS
may
not
be
realistically
capturing
basin­
scale
processes
for
all
pesticides
or
for
all
uses.
A
preliminary
survey
of
water
assessments
which
8
compared
screening
model
estimates
to
readily
available
monitoring
data
suggest
uneven
model
results.
In
some
instances,
the
screening
model
estimates
are
more
than
an
order
of
magnitude
greater
than
the
highest
concentrations
reported
in
available
monitoring
data;
in
other
instances,
the
model
estimates
are
less
than
monitoring
concentrations.
Because
of
these
concerns,
the
SAP
recommended
using
the
PCA
only
for
"major"
crops
in
the
Midwest.
For
other
crops,
development
of
PCA's
will
depend
on
the
availability
of
relevant
monitoring
data
that
could
be
used
to
evaluate
the
result
of
the
PCA
adjustment.

The
spatial
data
used
for
the
PCA
came
from
readily­
available
sources
and
have
a
number
of
inherent
limitations:

°
The
size
of
the
8­
digit
HUC
[mean
=
366,989
ha;
range
=
6.
7­
2,282,081
ha;
n
=
2,111]
may
not
provide
reasonable
estimates
of
actual
PCA's
for
smaller
watersheds.
The
watersheds
that
drain
into
drinking
water
reservoirs
are
generally
smaller
than
the
8­
digit
HUC
and
may
be
better
represented
by
watersheds
defined
for
drinking
water
intakes.
°
The
conversion
of
the
county
level
data
to
watershed­
based
percent
crop
areas
assumes
the
distribution
of
the
crops
within
a
county
is
uniform
and
homogeneous
throughout
the
county
area.
Distance
between
the
treated
fields
and
the
water
body
is
not
addressed.
°
The
PCA's
were
generated
using
data
from
the
1992
Census
of
Agriculture.
However,
recent
changes
in
the
agriculture
sector
from
farm
bill
legislation
may
significantly
impact
the
distribution
of
crops
throughout
the
country.
The
methods
described
in
this
report
can
rapidly
be
updated
as
more
current
agricultural
crops
data
are
obtained.
The
assumption
that
yearly
changes
in
cropping
patterns
will
cause
minimal
impact
needs
to
be
evaluated.

The
PCA
adjustment
is
only
applicable
to
pesticides
applied
to
agricultural
crops.
Contributions
to
surface
waters
from
nonagricultural
uses
such
as
urban
environments
are
not
wellmodeled
Currently,
non­
agricultural
uses
are
not
included
in
the
screening
model
assessments
for
drinking
water.

The
PCA
does
not
consider
percent
crop
treated
because
detailed
pesticide
usage
data
are
extremely
limited
at
this
time.
Detailed
pesticide
usage
data
are
currently
available
for
only
a
few
states.

Groundwater
Monitoring
EFED
has
limited
monitoring
data
on
the
concentrations
of
Linuron
in
groundwater.
Table

shows
validated
monitoring
data
for
linuron
that
are
available
for
the
states
of
Georgia
(GA),
Missouri
(MO),
Virginia
(VA),
and
Wisconsin
(WI).

In
addition,
the
US
Geological
Survey
(USGS)
National
Water
Quality
Assessment
Program
(NAWQA)
analyzed
pesticide
occurrence
and
concentrations
in
shallow
ground
water
in
agricultural
areas
(detection
limit
=
0.01
ppb).
Analysis
of
924
samples
showed
linuron
in
0.11%
of
the
samples
analyzed
with
a
maximum
concentration
of
0.029
ppb
14
.

A
Major
component
of
the
sampling
design
in
the
NAWQA
study
was
to
target
specific
watersheds
and
shallow
ground
water
areas
that
are
influenced
primarily
by
a
single
dominant
land
use(
agricultural
or
urban)
that
is
important
in
the
particular
area.
The
ground­
water
data
were
primarily
collected
from
a
combination
of
production
and
monitoring
wells.
Ground­
water
sites
in
the
NAWQA
study
were
sampled
for
pesticides
once
at
each
site.

Even
though
the
groundwater
monitoring
data
collected
by
USGS
NAWQA
are
from
sites
considered
to
represent
typical
use
areas,
the
frequency
and
duration
of
sampling
were
not
sufficient
to
represent
an
adequate
monitoring
data
set
for
exclusive
use
in
drinking
water
exposure
determination.

The
SCI­
GROW
model
was
used
to
estimate
potential
groundwater
concentrations
of
linuron.

Table

shows
the
input
parameter
values
used
in
SCI­
GROW
modeling.

predicted

model
are
substantially
less
than
those
estimated
for

using
PRZM
and

SCI­
GROW
estimated
concentrations
of
linuron
are
also
much
less
than
those
from
monitoring
data
shown
in
Table

Therefore,
for
drinking
water
concentrations
from
groundwater
sources
we
recommend
5.0
ppb
to
be
used
in
the
drinking
water
assessment.
