This memorandum summarizes the drinking water assessment for numerous proposed IR-4 uses of the miticide Acequinocyl.  This assessment considers use of the product Kanemite(TM)15SC, alternatively named Shuttle(TM) 15SC or Shuttle(TM) O, on succulent soybean vegetable, low growing berry, small fruit vine climbing (except fuzzy kiwifruit), succulent shelled beans, cowpea forage, caneberry, melon, cucumber, and cherry. 

Foliar applications (ground) are proposed up to 0.3 lb ai/A for a single maximum application with an annual maximum of two applications allowed at a minimum interval of 14 or 21 days depending on the use.  The maximum seasonal rate is 0.6 lb ai/A for all proposed uses. 


   1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A Tier II screening-level drinking water assessment was conducted for the proposed IR-4 uses of the miticide Acequinocyl (2-(acetyloxy)-3-dodecyl-1,4-naphthalenedione). Assessed uses were succulent soybean vegetable, low growing berry, small fruit vine climbing (except fuzzy kiwifruit), succulent shelled beans, cowpea forage, caneberry, melon, cucumber, and cherry.  The assessment is based on a single maximum application rate of 0.3 lb ai/A, applied by ground foliar spray with an annual maximum of two applications allowed at a minimum interval of 14 or 21 days depending on the use.  The maximum seasonal rate is 0.6 lb ai/A for all proposed uses.

Similar to previous drinking water assessments, two approaches were used in performing the drinking water assessment for the proposed acequinocyl uses.  In Approach 1, acequinocyl was conservatively assumed to be stable to all routes of degradation because of the uncertainties associated with the environmental fate data, mainly the lack of validation of the analytical methods and the lack of storage stability data.  In Approach 2, it was assumed that the half-lives of acequinocyl and the degradation product R1 were valid and the total toxic residues (acequinocyl + R1) were modeled to address toxicity concerns with R1.  According to the HED Metabolism Assessment Review Committee (MARC) the residues of concern in the dietary exposure and risk assessment are acequinocyl and the hydroxylated degradate, that is, R1 (US EPA, 2007b).   
      
Surface water estimated drinking water concentrations (EDWCs) were generated for acequinocyl using the Pesticide Root Zone Model/Exposure Analysis Modeling System (PRZM/EXAMS) model for all proposed uses except cranberry.   Cranberry use is included on the proposed label as part of the low growing berries subgroup, 13-07G. Cranberry harvesting may involve field flooding and PRZM/EXAMS are not currently parameterized to assess this type of scenario; therefore, cranberry was assessed using the provisional cranberry model.  Exposure in ground water due to leaching was assessed with the screening model SCI-GROW.

The recommended EDWCs for the human health risk assessment are provided in Table 1.  The EDWCs derived via Approach 1 represent upper bound values while those derived via Approach 2 represent the lower bound values.    Surface water EDWCs from the proposed uses supersede those previously estimated for acequinocyl (US EPA, 2010).   EDWCs for the proposed uses are higher than those previously reported for both Approach 1 and Approach 2.  The acute EDWC for cherry (25.89 ug/L  -  Approach 1, 5.59 ug/L  -  Approach 2) is greater than the previously reported acute EDWC (12.22 ug/L  -  Approach 1, 5.14 ug/L  -  Approach 2).  The annual mean (chronic) concentration for cherry (17.84 ug/L  -  Approach 1) and cranberry (1.36 ug/L  -  Approach 2) are higher than the previously reported EDWC (2.45 ug/L  -  Approach 1, 0.29 ug/L  -  Approach 2). Since the provisional cranberry model only uses a one year simulation, the highest 30-year annual average concentration is not available for the cranberry scenario. The highest 30-year annual average concentration (10.19 ug/L  -  Approach 1, 0.27 ug/L  -  Approach 2) was higher than the previously reported EDWC (2.02 ug/L  -  Approach 1, 0.20 ug/L  -  Approach 2).  The upper bound EDWCs (Approach 1) exceed the solubility limit of acequinocyl (6.69 ug/L at 20°C); therefore, the recommended acute, annual mean (chronic), and 30-year annual average EDWC is 6.69 ug/L for Approach 1.

The ground water concentration of 3.6 x 10[-][3] ug/L for the current assessment is the same as in previous assessments (US EPA, 2010). This concentration can be considered as both the acute and chronic values.

Although the fate and transport database is complete, most of the environmental fate studies submitted prior to the initial registration were classified `supplemental' due to numerous deficiencies identified in the fate studies such as poor chromatographic separation of acequinocyl and R1, use of chloroform:methanol solvent system, lack of LOD and LOQ data, un-eluted radioactive residues in the solid phase extraction process, and lack of storage stability data. These issues need to be addressed by the registrant to upgrade the fate studies.  Submitted studies are presented in Appendix D.





2.	PROBLEM FORMULATION

   1.1. Background

The most recent regulatory actions for acequinocyl include the following:

 Acequinocyl and its Degradate, Acequinocyl-OH (R1), Drinking Water Assessment in Support of IR-4 New Uses Registration for Fruiting Vegetables (Crop Group 8), Okra, Edible Podded Beans, and Hops.  April 29, 2010

 Ecological Risk Assessment for Use of Acequinocyl on Fruiting Vegetables (Except Cucurbits) to include Eggplant, Groundcherry, Pepino, Peppers (Bell, Chili, Cooking, Pimento, And Sweet) Tomatillo, and Tomato; Okra; Edible Podded Beans; and Hops. July 29, 2010

The previously recommended PRZM-EXAMS EDWC estimates (US EPA, 2010) were based on the PA apple, PA tomato, and GA pecan crop scenarios.  The 1-in-10-year annual peak (acute) concentration of parent acequinocyl was 12.22 ug/L, the 1-in-10-year annual daily mean (chronic) concentration was 2.45 ug/L, and the 30-year annual mean was 2.02 ug/L based on model Approach 1. Based on Approach 2, the acute, chronic, and 30-year annual mean concentrations were 5.14 ug/L, 0.29 ug/L, and 0.20 ug/L, respectively, for acequinocyl and its R1 degradate. 

In previous assessments, the ground water EDWC for acequinocyl and acequinocyl-OH (R1) in shallow ground water sources was 0.0036 ug/L for acequinocyl applied twice at a concentration of 0.3 lb ai/A regardless of using Approach 1 or 2.  EDWC from shallow ground water sources are expected remain the same for the proposed uses as acequinocyl proposed use rates are the same as the currently registered food use rates.

   4.1. Mode of Action

Acequinocyl is a miticide. Its mode of action is mediated by both the parent chemical and its primary degradate, 2-dodecyl-3-hydroxy-1,4-napthoquinone (also referred to as R1, deacetylated acequinocyl, acequinocyl-OH, OH-AKD 2023, or AKM-05) through the inhibition of electron transfer in mitochondria.

   4.2. Use Characteristics

KANEMITE 15 SC is a miticide for the control of Citrus red mite (Panonychus citri), European
red mite (Panonychus ulmi), Pacific spider mite (Tetranychus pacificus), Texas citrus mite
(Eutetranychus banskl) and Spruce spider mite (Oligonychus ununquis), Strawberry spider mite
(Tetranychus turkestam), Willamette spider mite (Eotetranychus willamettel), Two spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae and Tetranychus cinnabarinus), and Broad mite (Polyphagotarsonamus latus).  According to the registrant, when applied to the foliage, KANEMITE 15 SC provides quick knockdown and long residual control. Due to its unique mode of action, the label states that KANEMITE 15 SC is not expected to have cross-resistance to existing miticides and is reportedly very effective against various species of resistant and susceptible mites. 

Acequinocyl initial food use registration was for pome fruits, citrus, almonds, pistachios, strawberries, and outdoor ornamentals (US EPA, 2004).  The proposed new uses for acequinocyl are succulent soybean vegetable, low growing berry, small fruit vine climbing (except fuzzy kiwifruit), succulent shelled beans, cowpea forage, caneberry, melon, cucumber, and cherry. The maximum application rates for the proposed uses are not to exceed 0.3 lb ai/A for a single application rate and 0.6 lb ai/A for a seasonal application rate, with a minimum reapplication interval of 14 or 21 days depending on the use. The maximum proposed application rates are the same as the application rates for currently registered acequinocyl agricultural uses (see previous assessments listed in the Background section above).  Table 2 summarizes the application rates and application methods for the proposed uses. This information is obtained from the label and is used in the exposure assessment.

[1]The proposed label states the maximum application rate on a seasonal basis.  This rate is inferred to be an annual maximum given the restriction of two applications per year not to exceed 0.3 lb ai/A in a single application.

The product label use restrictions specify that the product is not to be applied via irrigation, via aerial application, or within 75 feet of aquatic areas. In addition, it is not intended for indoor residential use.

Currently, the label includes the following surface water statement:

"This product may contaminate water through drift of spray in wind. This product has a potential for runoff for several days after application. Poorly draining soils and soils with shallow water tables are more prone to produce runoff that contains this product. A level, well maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential for contamination of water from rainfall-runoff. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48 hours. Sound erosion control practices will reduce this product's contribution to surface water contamination."

   4.4. Monitoring Data

Acequinocyl and its major degradate, hydroxy-acequinocyl (R1), were not monitored in surface or groundwater under the USGS National Water Quality Assessment (NAWQA) program. 

   4.5. Conceptual Model

      A. Risk Hypothesis
      
For acequinocyl, the following risk hypothesis is being employed for this national-scale drinking water assessment:
      
      Acequinocyl, when used in accordance with proposed labels, can result in off-site movement of the compound product via runoff and spray drift, leading to human exposure to acequinocyl and its degradate acequinocyl-OH (R1) through consumption of contaminated drinking water.  

      B. Conceptual Model 
      
Submitted fate and transport data indicate that acequinocyl is highly reactive, with breakdown potentially occurring quickly via both photolysis and hydrolysis.  Acequinocyl can reach surface water via spray drift (foliar ground spray) and less likely via runoff.  Once acequinocyl has entered surface water, it is not likely to persist as it will hydrolyze to form acequinocyl-OH (also known as R1, OH-AKD 2023, AKM-05, deacetylated acequinocyl, and 2-dodecyl-3-hydroxy-1,4-napthoquinone).  Surface water runoff from the areas of application is assumed to follow topography.  Spray drift will follow wind direction.  

Leaching into groundwater is not expected to be a major route of transport based on submitted laboratory studies that indicated a very low mobility potential.  

Potential emission of volatile compounds is not considered as a viable release mechanism for acequinocyl because of the low vapor pressure of the compound. 

   4.4. Analysis Plan

Similar to previous drinking water assessments, two approaches were used in performing the drinking water assessment for the proposed acequinocyl uses.  In Approach 1, acequinocyl was conservatively assumed to be stable to all routes of degradation because of the uncertainties associated with the environmental fate data, mainly the lack of validation of the analytical methods and the lack of storage stability data.  In Approach 2, it was assumed that the half-lives of acequinocyl and the degradation product R1 were valid and the total toxic residues (acequinocyl + R1) were modeled to address toxicity concerns with R1.  According to the HED Metabolism Assessment Review Committee (MARC) the residues of concern in the dietary exposure and risk assessment are acequinocyl and the hydroxylated degradate, that is, R1 (US EPA, 2007b).   

Acequinocyl ground water EDWCs are the same as assessed in the previous drinking water assessment since the proposed application rates and number of applications are the same as currently registered food uses.

2. ANALYSIS
   
   3.1.	Fate and Transport Characterization

Acequinocyl appears to undergo fairly rapid transformation in most aquatic and terrestrial environments based on the environmental fate data of uncertain quality reviewed for the initial registration.  Acequinocyl hydrolyzed with a half-life of a few hours to less than 2 days under neutral and alkaline pH conditions (MRID 45434908).  However, it was stable under acidic pH conditions.  Photodegradation in water appeared to be the main route of degradation in aquatic environments, with half-lives of less than 15 minutes in sterile lab and river water.  In soil, the half-lives for aerobic biotransformation were less than 2 days under laboratory conditions (MRID 45434911).  Under field conditions, acequinocyl applied to bare plots dissipated with half-lives ranging from 2 hrs in California to 14 hours in New York (MRID 45651601).  In contrast, the residue decline data submitted for the Magnitude of Residue studies on apples, pears, oranges, grapefruit, lemon and almonds indicated a mean half-life of 20 days (US EPA, 2004).  

Acequinocyl presented very low mobility in soil. The soil adsorption Kd for acequinocyl ranged from 678 ml/g in sandy loam soil to 1,620 ml/g in silty clay loam soil (MRID 45531902) based on a study with one test concentration instead of four test concentrations as Subdivision N guidelines specify. In the field studies, the parent was not detected below 0-15 cm soil depth (MRID 45651601). The major transformation products detected in the field included R1 (2-dodecyl-3-hydroxy-1, 4-napthoquinone) and AKM-18 (2-(1,2-dioxotetradecyl) benzoic acid).

Based on acequinocyl bioconcentration factor in fish (BCF ranged from 307 to 387 (MRID 45434923) and its rather high octanol/water partition coefficient (Log Kow >= 6.2), acequinocyl can expect to bioconcentrate in fish if found in water.  Since acequinocyl has low vapor pressure of 1.69 x 10[-][6] PA (at 25 [o]C) and very low water solubility of 0.006 mg/L, any losses due to volatilization are expected to be minimal.  Further details on fate studies and other fate properties of acequinocyl can be found in the original risk assessment document (US EPA, 2004).  Table 3 provides summary of physical and chemical properties of acequinocyl.  Appendix A provides a summary of acequinocyl major degradates and their maximum percent formation observed in the laboratory and field studies.

   2.2. Drinking Water Exposure Modeling
   	
Two approaches were used in performing the drinking water assessment for the proposed acequinocyl uses.   In Approach 1, acequinocyl was conservatively assumed to be stable to all routes of degradation because of the uncertainties associated with the environmental fate data, mainly the lack of validation of the analytical methods and the lack of storage stability data.  In Approach 2, it was assumed that the half-lives of acequinocyl and the degradation product R1 were valid and the total toxic residues (acequinocyl + R1) were modeled to address toxicity concerns with R1.  According to the HED Metabolism Assessment Review Committee (MARC) the residues of concern in the dietary exposure and risk assessment are acequinocyl and the hydroxylated degradate, that is, R1 (US EPA, 2007b).   All half-lives used were calculated based on the total toxic residues (acequinocyl + R1).  Additionally, the adsorption coefficient (Kd) for R1 was used in the modeling (Approach 2) because R1 is more mobile than acequinocyl.  
   
	3.2.1.	Surface Water Modeling

All Proposed Uses Except Cranberries

Tier II surface water EDWCs were calculated using PRZM (Pesticide Root Zone Model, v3.12.2; May 12, 2005) and EXAMS (EXposure Analysis Modeling System, version 2.98.04.06, April 2005) models in the PE5 shell.    All Tier II modeling was corrected for percent cropped area (PCA), using the default value of 0.87 (87%).   Standard crop scenarios were selected for each proposed use.  Table 4 lists the input parameters used for the PRZM/EXAMS modeling of acequinocyl and the R1 degradate.  A representative PRZM/EXAMS output file is provided in Appendix B.   Table 6 presents EDWCs of acequinocyl and R1 in surface water sources from the proposed uses.

Cranberries

The Provisional Cranberry Model (v2, December 8, 2010) is a provisional refinement to the Tier I Rice Model (v1.0, May 8, 2007).  Refinements include the addition of simple degradation processes in dry and flooded conditions and a water depth of twelve inches rather than the water depth of four inches used in the rice model. These modifications allow estimation of screening-level peak and annual mean EDWCs of acequinocyl residues of concern that may occur in untreated surface water used as drinking water following use on cranberries.

The model assumes that degradation on dry cranberry bog soil occurs predominantly via aerobic microbial metabolism.  Additionally, residue degradation in flooded bogs is assumed to occur via aerobic microbial metabolism in the water column and via anaerobic microbial metabolism in the sediment.

Acequinocyl use on cranberries is proposed for an annual maximum of two applications of 0.3 lb ai/A  each.  The minimum interval between applications is 21 days and the preharvest interval is one day.  The proposed applications were first aged on dry soils because cranberry bogs are not typically flooded until the night before harvesting.  The resulting residues (in lb ai/A) were then summed and used as input for the flooded component of the model to estimate peak and annual mean EDWCs in bog tailwater following harvest.

Table 5 lists that input parameters used for the Provisional Cranberry Model.  The equations used in the Provisional Cranberry Model are briefly described in Appendix C.   Table 6 presents estimated drinking water concentrations (EDWCs) of acequinocyl and R1 in surface water sources from use on cranberry.

	3.2.2.	Ground Water Modeling 

Estimated concentrations of acequinocyl total toxic residues in drinking water from shallow ground water sources are the same as for currently registered uses because the application rates and number of applications are the same (0.3 lb ai/A, 2 applications). Therefore, the estimated environmental concentrations are not expected to exceed 3.6 x 10[-3] μg/L for the proposed uses.  This concentration can be considered as both the acute and chronic value.  Details regarding SCI-GROW modeling at this application rate can be found in US EPA, 2007a.   

	3.2.3. Assumptions and Uncertainties
      
The following uncertainties have been identified in the environmental fate properties and drinking water assessment for acequinocyl:

::	Most of the environmental fate studies submitted prior to the initial registration were classified `supplemental' due to deficiencies identified in the fate studies such as poor chromatographic separation of acequinocyl and R1, use of chloroform : methanol solvent system, lack of LOD and LOQ data, un-eluted radioactive residues in the solid phase extraction process, and lack of storage stability data. 

::	In PRZM/EXAMS modeling, Approach 1, acequinocyl was conservatively assumed stable to all routes of degradation to account for the uncertainties associated with the environmental fate data.  This approach generated conservative, upper bound, EDWCs for acequinocyl.  Therefore, exposure to acequinocyl may be overestimated by Approach 1.  

::	The impact of spray drift buffers was not considered in this drinking water assessment. With a 75 ft. spray drift buffer (spray drift fraction = 0.006), the effective drift to a water body from a ground application would be smaller than without the buffer (0.064).  However, based on comparison of EDWCs (not corrected for PCA) derived for the MI cherry scenario (Approach 1) the impact of spray drift on the EDWCs is minimal with and without the 75 ft spray drift buffer.

::	SCI-GROW estimated a concentration of <0.0036 μg/L for acequinocyl (Approach 1) and total residue (acequinocyl+R1; Approach 2) in shallow ground water sources.  The ground water EDWCs were obtained using the median Koc value of 37,550 ml/g for acequinocyl, and the median Koc value of 36,000 ml/g for the total (acequinocyl+R1) residues.  Estimated concentrations of chemicals with Koc values greater than 9,995 ml/g are beyond the scope of the regression data used in SCI GROW development.  If there are concerns for such chemicals, a higher tier groundwater exposure assessment should be considered, regardless of the concentration returned by SCI-GROW.

::	Two method validation studies (MRID 46182601 and 46182602) submitted by the registrant to determine the concentrations of acequinocyl and its metabolite(s) in soil and water extracts were reviewed by the EPA's Environmental Chemistry Laboratory. The registrant was informed of the suggested amendments and request for new calibration data in a memo dated 27 June, 2007.  Recently, the registrant submitted the amended analytical method for determination of residues of acequinocyl and its major metabolite R1 (hydroxy-acequinocyl) in drinking water, ground water and surface water (MRID 48016602), and the amended analytical method for the determination of acequinocyl, hydroxy-acequinocyl, and AKM-18 in soil (MRID 48016601).  The Agency is in the process of reviewing these submitted studies.

    3.3.     Drinking Water Treatment
   	
No specific information was available for the behavior of acequinocyl during drinking water treatment.

4.	DATA REQUIREMENTS

Most of the environmental fate studies submitted prior to the initial registration were classified `supplemental' due to deficiencies such as poor chromatographic separation of acequinocyl and R1, use of chloroform: methanol solvent system, lack of LOD and LOQ data, un-eluted radioactive residues in the solid phase extraction process, and lack of storage stability data. These issues need to be addressed by the registrant to upgrade the fate studies.

I. Provisional Cranberry Model Equations

The Provisional Cranberry Model is a refinement of the Tier I Rice Model v1.0 (Equations 1 and 2), which is a simple equilibrium partitioning equation that calculates a single, screening-level concentration in rice paddy water and released tailwater based on a compound's application rate and soil mobility.

 Equations 1-2:  Tier I Rice Model v1.0 (USEPA, 2007b).
 
		(1)
                                       
      and, if appropriate:
      
		(2)

      where,
      	Cw0 = initial water concentration [ug/L]
      mai' = mass applied per unit area [kg/ha]
      Kd = water-sediment partitioning coefficient [L/kg]
      KOC = organic carbon partitioning coefficient [L/kg]
      dw = water column depth = 0.10 m
      dsed = sediment depth = 0.01 m
      θsed = porosity of sediment = 0.509
      ρb = bulk density of sediment = 1300 kg/m[3]
 
 	First, the Tier I Rice Model was provisionally modified (Equation 3) to include as inputs degradation rate constants in order to estimate single, screening-level concentrations in paddy water or tailwater at a given time after application.
 
 Equation 3:  Provisional Modified Rice Model (Jones, 2006).
 
		(3)
    where,
    	Cw = water concentration [ug/L]
      t = interval since last application [d]
      k1 = upper 90[th] percentile rate constant in water column [1/d]
             k2 = upper 90[th] percentile rate constant in pore water [1/d]
             k3 = upper 90[th] percentile rate constant for adsorbed residues [1/d]
	Then, the Provisional Modified Rice Model water column depth was lengthened to a depth that is used to flood cranberry bogs (i.e., 12 inches; Cape Cod Cranberry Growers Association, 2001).
                   i.e.,   dw = water column depth = 0.305 m

	In order to model degradation prior to the flood at harvest, the application rates for n number of pre-harvest applications were independently degraded over the interim until flooding and then summed (Equation 4).

 Equation 4:  Degradation in a Dry Bog.
 
		(4)
    where,
      mai' = mass per unit area at flood [kg/ha]
      mai'n = mass applied per unit area on the n[th] application [kg/ha]
             k4 = upper 90[th] percentile rate constant on dry bog [1/d]
      tn = interval from the n[th] application to harvest [d]
             n = number of pre-harvest applications

	The following four equations and parameter sets constitute the Provisional Cranberry Model (Equations 1-4).
 
 Equations 1-4:  Provisional Cranberry Model.
 
		(1)

      and, if appropriate:

		(2)
      
      where,
      	Cw0 = initial water concentration [ug/L]
      Kd = water-sediment partitioning coefficient [L/kg]
      KOC = organic carbon partitioning coefficient [L/kg]
      dw = water column depth = 0.305 m
      dsed = sediment depth = 0.01 m
      θsed = porosity of sediment = 0.509
      ρb = bulk density of sediment = 1300 kg/m[3]
      
      and, lastly:
      
		(3)

      where,
    	Cw = water concentration [ug/L]
      t = interval since flood [d]
      k1 = upper 90[th] percentile rate constant in water column [1/d]
             k2 = upper 90[th] percentile rate constant in pore water [1/d]
             k3 = upper 90[th] percentile rate constant for adsorbed residues [1/d]
