Executive Summary

This memo includes a drinking water exposure assessment for proposed new
uses of boscalid (PC code: 128008) on alfalfa forage and hay, and citrus
group 10.  The petition also requested an increase in tolerance on stone
fruit (crop group 12) based on residues exceeding the 1.7 ppm tolerance
found in samples of sweet and tart cherries and in peaches from field
trials conducted by BASF. The proposed increase in tolerance to stone
fruit group does not necessitate a change to the label and therefore
does not trigger the need for a new drinking water assessment.

Previous drinking water assessments have estimated drinking water
concentrations (EDWCs) for boscalid in surface water and groundwater
using the screening models FIRST and the regression model SCI-GROW.
Three previous assessments (D336183, D341459 and D343753) have all used
application to turf as the maximum application rate allowed. The
proposed new uses on alfalfa (forage and hay) and citrus (crop group 10)
have lower maximum rates per application than that on turf.  The
recommended EDWCs based on the existing turf use are listed in Table 1.
The half-life for boscalid was recalculated to include unextractable
residues, which affected the input parameters for calculating EDWCs in
SCIGROW and FIRST.

Problem Formulation

This is a Tier I drinking water assessment that uses modeling and
available monitoring data to estimate the ground water and surface water
concentrations of pesticides in drinking water source water
(pre-treatment) resulting from pesticide use on sites that are highly
vulnerable. This initial tier screens out chemicals with low potential
risk.

Analysis

Use Characterization

Boscalid is currently registered for use on alfalfa, dry and succulent
beans, berries, head and stem brassicas, leafy brassica greens, bulb
vegetables, canola, carrots, celery, citrus fruits, cotton, cucurbit
vegetables, fruiting vegetables, grapes, hops, leafy greens, leafy
petioles, lettuce, peanuts, succulent and dried shelled peas,
pistachios, pome fruit, potatoes, root and tuber vegetables, certain
seed treatments, soybeans, spinach, stone fruit, strawberries,
sunflowers, tree nuts, tropical fruits, turf, and ornamentals. Boscalid
is mixed with a second active ingredient, Pyraclostrobin, in Pristine
Reg. No. 7969-199 and Endura Reg. No. 7969-197. Boscalid is applied
aerially or through ground equipment.

The proposed new uses for alfalfa (forage and hay) and citrus group 10
have a maximum seasonal application rate less than that previously
allowed for turf (1.44 lbs a.i./A/season for Alfalfa, Endura Reg. #
7969-197, compared to 2.1 lbs a.i./A/season for turf). This information
is summarized in Table 2.

alfalfa, citrus (group 10) and the maximum current use rate for turf.

Environmental Fate and Transport Characterization

Boscalid, o (2-chloro-N-(4´-chlorobiphenyl-2-yl)-nicotinamide
nicotinamide -IUPAC name)

2-chloro-N-(4’chloro(1,1’-biphenyl)2-yl-3-pyridinecarboxamide - CAS
name) is a persistent compound with low mobility in most soils. The
primary degradation pathway is aerobic soil metabolism, which proceeds
slowly and results in the formation of intermediates which are
relatively rapidly transformed into CO2 or were in unextracted
unidentified soil residues. In anaerobic soil, boscalid is degraded very
slowly and is considered to be stable to microbial degradation as the
disappearance of the parent compound was mainly due to conversion to
unextracted, unidentified residues. There is no significant degradation
of boscalid and by photolysis on soil and in water. The compound is also
not transformed to any significant extent in either aerobic or anaerobic
aquatic systems. Boscalid is also no significant hydrolysis at
environmentally relevant pHs and temperatures. Boscalid may sorb to
aquatic sediments given its moderate soil mobility (Koc ranges from 507
to 1110mL/g). Terrestrial field dissipation studies show that the
maximum leaching depth for boscalid ranged from 0-7.5 cm (MRIDs
454052-19, -20, -21, -22;EPA, 2003). These data support results from
batch equilibrium studies that indicate moderate mobility in soil. A
higher potential for leaching exists for the compound in soils which are
low in organic matter content, as is often the case with coarse-textured
soils. Boscalid is likely to reach surface water through spray drift
when applied using ground and aerial spray. Given its persistence,
transport of boscalid to surface water via runoff water is probably. The
slow biodegradation of boscalid in most soils will increase the
potential for both groundwater and surface water contamination. Because
boscalid does not biodegrade in aquatic systems, but can bind to
sediments, the compound may accumulate in the sediment phase of these
environments (MRIDs 45405213 and 45405214). The boscalid degradate
2-chloronicotinic acid is very mobile in soil and is not expected to
bind to aquatic sediments. However, the degradate is metabolized rapidly
in aerobic soil, and is mineralized to CO2 or transformed to bound
residues. A summary of the fate and transport properties can be found
below in Table 3.  More details on the environmental fate and transport
of boscalid can be found in the original environmental fate and
ecological risk assessment performed for registration, titled
“Environmental Fate and Ecological Risk Assessment for the
Registration of BAS 510F (Nicobifen):
2-chloro-N-(4’chloro(1,1’-biphenyl)-2-yl-3-pyridinecarboxamide”.

Drinking Water Exposure Modeling

SCIGROW (Screening Concentration in Ground Water) is a regression model
used as a screening tool to estimate pesticide concentrations found in
ground water used as drinking water. SCIGROW was developed by fitting a
linear model to groundwater concentrations with the Relative Index of
Leaching Potential (RILP) as the independent variable. Groundwater
concentrations were taken from 90-day average high concentrations from
Prospective Ground Water studies; the RILP is a function of aerobic soil
metabolism and the soil-water partition coefficient. The output of
SCIGROW represents the concentrations that might be expected in shallow
unconfined aquifers under sandy soils, which is representative of the
ground water most vulnerable to pesticide contamination likely to serve
as a drinking water source.

	FIRST (FQPA Index Reservoir Screening Tool) is a metamodel of PRZM and
EXAMS used as a screening tool to estimate pesticide concentrations
found in surface water used as drinking water. FIRST was developed by
making multiple runs of PRZM using varying sorption coefficients and
determining the concentration in the EXAMS index reservoir scenario
after a two-inch single storm event. (The Index Reservoir is a standard
water body used by the Office of Pesticide Programs to assess drinking
water exposure (office of Pesticide Programs, 2002). It is based on a
real reservoir (albeit not currently in active use as a drinking water
supply), Shipman City lake in Illinois, that is known to be vulnerable
to pesticide contamination.) The single runoff event moves a maximum of
8% of the applied pesticide into the reservoir. This amount can be
reduced by degradation or effects of binding to soil in the field.
Additionally, FIRST can account for spray drift and adjusts for the area
within a watershed that is planned with the modeled crop (percent
Cropped Area). Spray drift (modeled as direct deposition of the
pesticide into the reservoir) is assumed to be 16% of the applied active
ingredient for aerial application, 6.3% for orchard air blast
application, and 6.4% for other ground spray application. Despite being
a single even model, FIRST can account for spray drift from multiple
applications. The default a Percent Cropped Area (PCA) is 87% for
agricultural crops. The default PCA for turf is 1.0 since turf is often
grown on land that is not agricultural. The PRZM scenario used for FIRST
development was among the most vulnerable, and thus resulting surface
water concentration represents the upper bound values on the
concentrations that might be found in drinking water from the use of a
pesticide.

Modeling Approach and Input Parameters

The following Tables 4 and 5 represent the input parameters used for the
surface and groundwater modeling applications, SCIGROW and FIRST. The
input parameter for aerobic soil metabolism was calculated both as
parent only and as parent plus unextracted residues. The parent plus
unextracted residue half-life was calculated using the total toxic
residues (TTR) method (Scientific Advisory Panel “White Paper on
Methods for Assessing Ecological Risks of Pesticides with Persistent,
Bioaccumulative and Toxic Characteristics”). The unextracted residues
in some studies were over 50%. There is insufficient information to
verify that the extraction methods used, methanol and then methanol and
water, were efficiently extracted all unbound residues. Then the EECs in
Table 6. are based on the TTR method. The calculations are in Appendix
A.

Modeling Results

	SCIGROW concentration (ppb) represents the groundwater concentration
that might be expected in shallow unconfined aquifers under sandy soils.
The outputs located in Appendix B are used for both acute and chronic
endpoints. FIRST concentrations (ppb) represent untreated surface water
concentrations. The one-in-10-year peak concentration is used for acute
endpoints and the 1-in-10-year annual average concentration used for
chronic endpoints. The estimated concentrations provided in this
assessment are conservative estimates of concentrations in drinking
water. The output files are located in Appendix C. The summary of EDWCs
for each new use and the existing use on turf is shown below in Table 6
for groundwater using FIRST and Table 7 for surface water using SCIGROW.

Conclusions

	The EDWCs for boscalid in surface water and groundwater were determined
to be lower than those estimated for the maximum application rate given
by turf. Risks for the new uses should therefore be less than that of
those maximum rates already established by turf. There were a number of
uncertainties in the drinking water exposure assessment. These include
the application method for the new uses. It was assumed that the
applications would be aerial, which would have a higher percentage of
spray drift. The label did not specify which application method is to be
used but mentioned both aerial and ground applications. Another
assumption that was factored into the assessment is the addition of the
unextracted residues in the calculation of the aerobic soil metabolism
half-lives and its associated input parameters for FIRST and SCIGROW.
This value was also used in the determination of aerobic aquatic soil
metabolism input parameter. There is also the uncertainty that comes
with the modeling with FIRST and SCIGROW.

When using the parent plus unextracted to calculated groundwater and
surface water EDWCs the acute EDWC for surface water was least affected,
changing from 101.4 ppb to 105.3 ppb giving a 3.8% change. The chronic
surface water was slightly little more affected than the acute surface
water changing from 26.8 ppb with the parent only to 30.2 ppb with the
parent plus unextracted, which gives a 12.7%. The greatest change came
from the EDWCs calculated from groundwater which went from 0.59 ppb to
1.51 ppb. This is an overall 156% increase in the EDWC for groundwater.
This uncertainty may be resolved with more data or further studies which
could include different extraction solvents or additional physical
characterization techniques such as NMR.
