<br />Water Use:
<br />1. Water for Irrigation or sprays:
<br />A. If treated water Is intended to be used only for crops or noncrop areas that are labeled for
<br />direct treatment with 2,4 -D such as pastures, turf, or cereal grains, the treated water may be
<br />used to irrigate and/or mix sprays for these sites at anytime after the 2,4 -D aquatic
<br />application.
<br />B. Due to potential phytotoxicity and/or residue considerations, the following restrictions are
<br />applicable: If treated water is Intended to be used to irrigate or mix sprays for unlabeled
<br />crops, noncrop areas or other plants not labeled for direct treatment with 2,4 -D, the water
<br />must not be used unless one of the following restrictions has been observed:
<br />i. A setback distance described in the Drinking Water Setback Table was used for the
<br />application, or,
<br />ii. A waiting period of 21 days from the time of application has elapsed, or,
<br />iii. An approved assay indicates that the 2,4-D concentration is 100 ppb (0.1 ppm) or less at
<br />the water intake. See Table 3 for the waiting period after application but before taking the
<br />initial sampling at water intake.
<br />2. Drinking water (potable water):
<br />A. Consult with appropriate state or local water authorities before applying this product to
<br />public waters. State or local agencies may require permits. The potable water use restrictions
<br />on this label are to ensure that consumption of water by the public is allowed only when the
<br />concentration of 2,4-D in the water is less than the MCL (Maximum Contaminant Level) of 70
<br />ppb. Applicators should consider the unique characteristics of the treated waters to assure
<br />that 2,4-D concentrations in potable water do not exceed 70 ppb at the time of consumption.
<br />B. For submersed weed applications, the drinking water setback distances from functioning
<br />potable water intakes are provided in Table 2. Drinking Water Set back Distance (below).
<br />C. If no setback distance from the Drinking Water Setback Table (Table 2) is to be used for the
<br />application, applicators or the authorizing organization must provide a drinking water
<br />notification and an advisory to shut off all potable water intakes prior to a 2,4 -D application.
<br />Notification to the party responsible for a public water supply or to individual private water
<br />users must be done in a manner to assure that the party is aware of the water use
<br />restrictions when this product is applied to potable water. The following is an example of a
<br />notification via posting, but other methods of notification which convey the above restrictions
<br />may be used and may be required in some cases under state or local law or as a condition
<br />of a permit.
<br />Example:
<br />Posting notification should be located every 250 feet including the shoreline of the treated area
<br />and up to 250 feet of shoreline past the application site to include immediate public access
<br />points. Posting should include the day and time of application. Posting may be removed if

<br />EPA REG. NO. 34704-120
<br />analysis of a sample collected at the intake no sooner than stated in Table 3 (below) shows that
<br />the concentration in the water is less than 70 ppb (100 ppb for irrigation or sprays), or after
<br />21 days following application, whichever occurs first. Text of notification: Wait 21 days before
<br />diverting functioning surface water intakes from the treated aquatic site to use as drinking water,
<br />irrigation, or sprays, unless water at functioning drinking water intakes is tested no sooner than
<br />(insert days from Table 3) and is demonstrated by assay to contain not more than 70 ppb 2,4 -D
<br />(100 ppb for irrigation or sprays).
<br />Application Date: Time:
<br />D. Following each application of this product, treated water must not be used for drinking water
<br />unless one of the following restrictions has been observed:
<br />i. A setback distance described in the Drinking Water Setback Distance Table was used for
<br />the application, or,
<br />ii. A waiting period of at least 21 days from the time of application has elapsed, or,
<br />iii. An approved assay indicates that the 2,4-D concentration is 70 ppb (0.07 ppm) or less at
<br />the water intake. Sampling for drinking water analysis should occur no sooner than stated in
<br />Table 3. Analysis of samples must be completed by a laboratory that is certified under the
<br />Safe Drinking Water Act to perform drinking water analysis using a currently approved
<br />version of analytical Method Number 515, 555, other methods for 2,4 -D as may be listed in
<br />Title 40 CFR, Part 141.24, or Method Number 4015 (immunoassay of 2,4-D) from U.S. EPA
<br />Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste SW -846.
<br />E. Note: Existing potable water intakes that are no longer in use, such as those replaced by a
<br />connection to a municipal water system or a potable water well, are not considered to be
<br />functioning potable water intakes.
<br />F. Drinking water setback distances do not apply to terrestrial applications of 2,4 -D adjacent to
<br />water bodies with potable water intakes.

<br />Surface Application: Use power sprayers operated with a boom or spray gun mounted on a boat,
<br />tractor, or truck. Thorough wetting of foliage is essential for maximum control. Use 100 to 400 gals
<br />per acre of spray mixture. Special precautions, such as the use of lower pressure, large nozzles,
<br />and thickening agents should be taken to avoid spray drift in areas of sensitive crops.
<br />Air Application: Use drift control spray equipment or thickening agents mixed into the spray solu-
<br />tion. Apply 8 pts AMINE 4 per acre through standard boom systems with a minimum of 5 gals of
<br />spray mixture per acre.
<br />NOTICE TO APPLICATORS
<br />State and Local coordination: Before application, coordination and approval of focal and state
<br />authorities may be required, either by letter of agreement or Issuance of special permits for such
<br />use.
