Environmental Hazards 

For Agricultural Products with any Outdoor Use, except wide area
mosquito adulticide application.

(See EHS for non-agricultural outdoor use and mosquito adulticide
applications below.)

	“This pesticide is extremely toxic to aquatic organisms, including
fish and invertebrates.   Do not apply directly to water, or to areas
where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean
water mark.  Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from
treated areas.  Drift and runoff from treated areas may be hazardous to
aquatic organisms in neighboring areas.  Do not contaminate water when
disposing of equipment wash waters.”

“Under some conditions, it may also have a potential for transport
into surface water in runoff (primarily adsorbed to suspended soil
particles), for several months or more after application.  These include
poorly draining or wet soils with readily visible slopes toward adjacent
surface waters, frequently flooded areas, and areas overlying extremely
shallow groundwater, areas with in-field canals or ditches that drain to
surface water, areas not separated from adjacent surface waters with
vegetated filter strips, and areas over-lying tile drainage systems that
drain to surface waters.”

“This pesticide is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment on
blooming crops or weeds.  Do not apply this product or allow it to drift
to blooming crops or weeds while bees are actively visiting the
treatment area.”    

For commercial, industrial, and institutional use products packaged in
containers equal or greater than 5 gallons or 50 pounds, add the
following statement:

“Do not discharge effluent containing this product into lakes,
streams, ponds, estuaries, oceans, or other waters unless in accordance
with the requirements of a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) permit and the permitting authority has been notified in
writing prior to discharge.  Do not discharge effluent containing this
product to sewer systems without previously notifying the local sewage
treatment plant authority.  For guidance contact your State Water Board

Buffer Zone Requirements for Agricultural Products	BUFFER ZONES

Vegetative Buffer Strip

“Construct and maintain a minimum 10-foot-wide vegetative filter strip
of grass or other permanent vegetation between the field edge and down
gradient aquatic habitat (such as, but not limited to, lakes;
reservoirs; rivers; permanent streams; marshes or natural ponds;
estuaries; and commercial fish farm ponds).”  

“Only apply products containing permethrin onto fields where a
maintained vegetative buffer strip of at least 10 feet exists between
the field and down gradient aquatic habitat.” 

For guidance, refer to the following publication for information on
constructing and maintaining effective buffers:

Conservation Buffers to Reduce Pesticide Losses.  Natural Resources
Conservation Services.  USDA, NRCS. 2000. Fort Worth, Texas. 21 pp.

http://www.in.nrcs.usda.gov/technical/agronomy/newconbuf.pdf 

Buffer Zone for Ground Application (groundboom, overhead chemigation, or
airblast)

“Do not apply within 25 feet of aquatic habitats (such as, but not
limited to, lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams, marshes, natural ponds,
estuaries, and commercial fish ponds).”  

Buffer Zone for ULV Aerial Application

“Do not apply within 450 feet of aquatic habitats (such as, but not
limited to, lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams, marshes, natural ponds,
estuaries, and commercial fish ponds).”  

Buffer Zone for Non-ULV Aerial Application

“Do not apply within 150 feet of aquatic habitats (such as, but not
limited to, lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams, marshes, natural ponds,
estuaries, and commercial fish ponds).”  

	Directions for Use under General Precautions and Restrictions and/or
Application Instructions

Spray Drift Requirements for Agricultural Products

	Spray Drift Requirements:

Wind Direction and Speed

“Only apply this product if the wind direction favors on-target
deposition.” 

“Do not apply when the wind velocity exceeds 15 mph.”  

Temperature Inversion

“Do not make aerial or ground applications into temperature
inversions.”  

“Inversions are characterized by stable air and increasing
temperatures with height above the ground.  Mist or fog may indicate the
presence of an inversion in humid areas.  The applicator may detect the
presence of an inversion by producing smoke and observing a smoke layer
near the ground surface.”

Droplet Size

“Use only Medium or coarser spray nozzles (for ground and non-ULV
aerial application) according to ASAE (S572) definition for standard
nozzles. In conditions of low humidity and high temperatures,
applicators should use a coarser droplet size.”  

Additional Requirements for Ground Applications

“Wind speed must be measured adjacent to the application site on the
upwind side, immediately prior to application.”  

“For ground boom applications, apply using a nozzle height of no more
than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy.” 

“For airblast applications, turn off outward pointing nozzles at row
ends and when spraying the outer two rows.  To minimize spray loss over
the top in orchard applications, spray must be directed into the
canopy.”  

Additional Requirements for Aerial Applications

“The spray boom should be mounted on the aircraft as to minimize drift
caused by wingtip or rotor vortices.  The minimum practical boom length
should be used and must not exceed 75% of the wing span or 80% rotor
diameter.”    

“Flight speed and nozzle orientation must be considered in determining
droplet size.”

“Spray must be released at the lowest height consistent with pest
control and flight safety.  Do not release spray at a height greater
than 10 feet above the crop canopy unless a greater height is required
for aircraft safety.”  

“When applications are made with a cross-wind, the swath will be
displaced downwind.  The applicator must compensate for this
displacement at the downwind edge of the application area by adjusting
the path of the aircraft upwind.”	Directions for Use under Spray Drift
Requirements.
