This product has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. The use of this product in
<br />areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in ground water containment. Application
<br />around a cistern or well may result in contamination of drinking water or groundwater.
<br />Most cases of groundwater contamination involving phenoxy herbicides such as 2,4-D and MCPP-p have been associated with
<br />mixing/loading and disposal sites. Caution should be exercised when handling these herbicides at such sites to prevent
<br />contamination of groundwater supplies. Use of the closed systems for mixing or transferring this pesticide will reduce the probability
<br />of spills. Placement of the mixing/loading equipment on an impervious pad to contain spills will help prevent groundwater
<br />contamination.

<br />(PPE) and restricted -entry interval. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker
<br />Protection Standard. Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted -entry interval (REI) of 48 hours.
<br />PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact
<br />with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water, is: coveralls over short -sleeved shirt and shop` pants, waterproof

<br />agricultural pesticides (40 CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when this product is used to produce agricultural plants on farms,
<br />forests, nurseries, or greenhouses. Do not allow people (other than applicator) or pets on treatment area during application. Do
<br />not enter treatment areas until spray has dried.
<br />SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
<br />A variety of factors including weather conditions (e.g., wind direction, wind speed, temperature, relative humidity) and method of
<br />application can influence pesticide drift. The applicator must evaluate all factors and make appropriate adjustments when applying
<br />this product.
<br />Droplet Size
<br />Use a medium or coarser spray nozzles according to ASAE (S572) definition for standard nozzles or a volume mean diameter of
<br />300 microns or greater for spinning atomizer nozzles.
<br />Wind Speed
<br />Do not apply at wind speeds greater than 10 mph. Only apply this product if the wind direction favors an on target deposition and
<br />there are not sensitive areas (including, but not limited to residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for nontarget species,
<br />nontarget crops) within 250 feet downwind.
<br />Temperature Inversions
<br />If applying at wind speeds less than 3 mph, the applicator must determine if: 1) conditions of temperature inversion exist, or 2)
<br />stable atmospheric conditions exist at or below nozzle height. Do not make applications into areas of temperature inversions or
<br />stable atmospheric conditions.
