HERBICIDE INFORMATION 1.1 DESCRIPTION OF HERBICIDE The herbicide Arsenal, manufactured by the American Cyanamid Company, is proposed to be applied selectively in approved areas along AMTRAK rights-of-way within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for the 1990 calendar year. Arsenal has been approved by the Massachusetts Department of Food and Agriculture Pesticide Board for use in Sensitive Areas as defined in the Rights-of-Way Management Regulations (333 CMR 11.00, provided in Appendix B of this document) . Arsenal, which contains the active ingredient Imazapyr [2-(4-isopropyl-4-methyl-5-oxy-2-imidazolin-2-yl) nicotinic acid with isopropyl amine(2) ] effectively controls many annual and perennial grasses and broadleaf weeds when applied as directed. It should be noted that in the "Herbicide Fact Sheet" prepared by the Massachusetts Department of Food and Agriculture (see Appendix A) , Imazapyr has been judged to be relatively immobile in soil due to its strong adsorption to soil particles and organic matter, which begins almost immediately after application. Thus, as concluded within the "Herbicide Fact Sheet", when this product is used as recommended by the manufacturer, dispersal in sensitive areas will be limited. In order to reduce any drift potential of this herbicide when applied in sensitive areas, an adjuvant, also referred to as a thickener or wetting agent, will be added to the herbicide. The adjuvant proposed for use is More (manufactured by the Exacto Chemical Company) , which contains 30% polyacrylamide copolymer as its active ingredient. 1.2 APPLICATION RATES A mixture of herbicide (Arsenal) and adjuvant (More) will be 1-1 selectively applied on the right-of-way in compliance with all regulations, and in accordance with the following application rates: Product Rate Arsenal 3 pints/acre More 1 - 1. 5 ounces/acre The above product quantities will be diluted in 30 gallons of water to achieve the desired concentration. The speed of the vehicle and the pressure of discharge will occur such that an application rate of 30 gallons of herbicide mix/acre to the right-of-way will be produced. In accordance with Sections 11.02 and 11. 04 of the Rights-of-Way Management Regulations, this discharge pressure will not exceed 60 psi. 1.3 APPLICATION TIMING One selective post-emergent application of herbicide is proposed to occur in the 1990 calendar year within approved areas along the AMTRAK rights-of-way. Application will take place in late spring once the target vegetation (all annual and perennial vegetation growing within the boundaries of the ballast) has germinated. The goal of the spraying is to minimize the presence of organic matter in the ballast area, thus even sparsely vegetated areas of ballast will be treated. Areas that have no vegetation will not be treated. In accordance with Section 11.07 of the Rights-of-Way Management Regulations, public notification (by registered mail) will be provided to each affected municipality at least twenty-one (21) days prior to any herbicide application. This notification will be sent to the Mayor, City Manager or Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, Board of Health, and Conservation Commission of each of these municipalities, and will include (at a minimum) : 1) a copy of the approved Yearly Operational Plan; 2) the approximate dates on which any proposed herbicide spraying will commence and conclude (provided that this spraying 1-2 I does not conclude more than ten (10) days after said approximate date) ; 3) a copy of the Department of Food and Agriculture-approved Herbicide Fact Sheet on the active ingredient of the herbicide to be used; and 4) the name and address of the contractor who will make the herbicide application, or the name of the certified employee who will make the application. A copy of this notification will also be sent to the Department of Food and Agriculture Pesticide Bureau. 1.4 APPLICATION EQUIPMENT Hi-rail vehicles equipped with herbicide application equipment will be used to treat the right-of-way. The standard equipment used to apply the product consists of a spraying boom mounted to the rear of this truck. This boom carries a number of nozzles directed straight downward which are spaced 20 inches apart; the number opened normally depends on the desired width of spray. In this case, the spray width will be 10 feet, which is consistent with that proposed within the Vegetation Management Plan. The entire boom is 13 feet 4 inches wide, and is mounted 18 inches above the railway ballast. The commencement and cessation of spray is completely controlled within the cab of the spray vehicle. In order to catch any accidental dripping of herbicide within Sensitive Areas, a "container" will be used. This is a trough-shaped apparatus mounted just behind and above the boom, and will be hydraulically lowered to sit underneath the spray nozzles while the vehicle is travelling through areas where herbicide spraying is prohibited. 1.5 HERBICIDE FACT SHEETS Herbicide Fact Sheets have been prepared by the Massachusetts Department of Food and Agriculture to provide herbicide specifications and technical data. Fact Sheets for the product 1-3 Arsenal are found as Appendix A. 1-4 3 . FIELD PROCEDURES 3 . 1 IDENTIFICATION OF TARGET VEGETATION 3 . 1. 1 Ballast Area This post-emergent program is targeted toward the eradication of all woody and herbaceous plant species germinating within the boundaries of the railroad ballast. As alternate physical and/or economically practicable means of controlling this ballast vegetation are currently unavailable to the railroad industry, herbicides will be selectively applied within an integrated approach along approved areas of the Amtrak right-of-way. The ballast is defined in the Rights-of-Way Management Regulations (333 CMR 11. 02) as " . . .the coarse gravel or crushed rock on to [sic] which the ties, tracks and any switching, signaling and communication devices of a railroad are laid" . Through natural successional processes, vegetation can be expected to become established within railway ballast over time. The rate at which it becomes established along a given portion of the right-of-way depends on the environmental conditions in that particular area, thus providing for the differences in density of such vegetation which can be observed to occur along the ballast. This vegetation includes both annual and perennial grasses and weedy herbaceous plants, along with shrub and tree seedlings. The railroad industry maintains that this vegetational growth presents both a hindrance to required railway maintenance practices and a hazard to public and employee safety. For example, such vegetational growth may obstruct the visibility of railroad signs and signals; it may prevent railway workers from seeing damaged, broken or improperly adjusted track; and propagating root systems within the ballast may reduce drainage and increase moisture around the ties and other wooden structures, thus encouraging decay and reducing the useful life of the structures. In addition, plant 3-1 tissues growing near the rail may be immediately crushed between wheel and rail, with released water and plant sap acting as a lubricant to increase locomotive stopping distances. It should be noted that Federal law (49 C.F.R. Subsection 213 . 37) requires railroads to control vegetation along their rights-of-way: Vegetation on railroad property which is on or immediately adjacent to roadbed, must be controlled so that it does not: a) Become a fire hazard to track carrying structures; b) Obstruct visibility of railroad signs and signals; c) Interfere with railroad employees performing normal trackside duties; d) Prevent proper functioning of signal and communication lines; e) Prevent railroad employees from visually inspecting moving equipment from their normal duty stations. Due to the inefficiency of other weed control methods within the ballast area, no weed control methods will be used in those ballast areas designated as no-spray. 3 . 1.2 Area Adjacent to the Ballast Woody vegetation, growing in the areas adjacent to the railroad ballast, will be selectively managed in order to promote the growth of low-growing shrub species. Targeted woody vegetation will be that which has the potential to invade the roadbed area and/or the overhead communication lines. vegetation Target will include but not be limited to the g following: COMMON NAME SCIENTIFIC NAME Alternate Leaf Dogwood Cornus alternifolia American Basswood Tilia americana American Beech Faaus grandifolia Apple Malus spp. Aspen Pooulus spp. Birch Betula spp. 3-2 COMMON NAME SCIENTIFIC NAME Black Walnut Juglans nigra Common Buckthorn Rhanmus cathartica Butternut Juglans cinerea Black Cherry Prunus serotina Hawthorn Crataegus spp. Hickory Carva spp. Oak Ouercus spp. Pine Pinus spp. Sassafras Sassafras albidum Spruce Picea spp. The following non-target plant communities will be encouraged to develop in the area adjacent to the ballast. These plant communities are dominated by but not limited to the following herbaceous plant species or groups of species. COMMON NAME SCIENTIFIC NAME Blackberry Rubus spp. Grasses Gramineae spp. Goldenrod Solidago spp. Plantain Ecruisetum spp. Mullein Plantago spp. Other non-woody plants Verbascum spp. Selective mechanical mowing and hand cutting will be the means used to control this vegetation. Stem, foliar, and cut stump applications of herbicide to woody vegetation will not be used to manage this area in the 1990 calendar year. One exception to the above will be the management of poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) growing around and along signal boxes. The construction of these boxes is such that the vegetation must be either hand-cut or manually treated with herbicide in order to be eliminated, as opposed to being cut back with a mechanical mower. Because dermal contact with this plant can cause severe irritation, hand-cutting of this species is not recommended. Therefore, the railroad proposes to selectively treat poison ivy in these areas with manual applications of Arsenal. This application 3-3 will comply with all sensitive area restictions and setbacks as defined in the Rights-of-Way Management Regulations. Poison ivy in no-spray areas will be hand-cut where necessary. 3 .2 PROCEDURES FOR IDENTIFYING SENSITIVE AREAS 3 .2 . 1 Definition of Sensitive Areas Sensitive areas have been defined in the Rights-of-Way Management Regulations (333 CMR 11. 00) as (but not limited to) areas: a. within the primary recharge area of a public drinking water supply well; b. within four hundred (400) feet of any surface water used as a public water supply; C. within one hundred (100) feet of any appropriately marked private drinking water supply; d. within one hundred (100) feet of any standing or flowing water; e. within one hundred (100) feet of any wetland; and f. within one hundred (100) feet of any agricultural or vegetated area. Sensitive areas "not readily identifiable in the field" (viz. , areas a, b, d, and e, above) will be designated with permanent markers. The markers used will be large, color-coded posts (Curve-Reflex Posts) , approximately four feet in height, permanently installed to mark the borders of "no-spray" and "limited-spray" zones as defined in the regulations. "Limited-spray" zones of 24 months will be marked with two blue stripes, "limited-spray" zones of 12 months with one blue stripe, and "no-spray" zones with one yellow stripe. The borders of areas which do not fall into these categories will be marked with posts bearing one white stripe. These posts are readily identifiable from a distance and can withstand significant impacts. The markers will be inventoried as they are installed and their locations verified before every approved herbicide application. 3-4 No herbicide application will occur within a municipality until permanent markers delineating its sensitive areas have been properly installed. 3 .2. 2 Identification and Location of Wells and Surface Water Supplies In the course of identifying and locating public wells, aquifer recharge areas and surface drinking water supplies, detailed maps prepared by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Water Supply were consulted. These maps detail the specific locations of public wells and water supplies. In addition, local Conservation Commissions, Boards of Health and Water Departments were contacted in an effort to obtain further detailed information with respect to both public and private water supplies. All of this information was used in order to identify restricted spray zones along the right-of-way in compliance with the Right-of-Way Management Regulations (333 CMR 11.00) . These known restricted zones within each municipality are identified on the maps provided within Section 5.0 of this Yearly Operational Plan. 3 .2. 3 Identification and Location of Wetlands Each portion of the right-of-way was visually inspected by a qualified wetland scientist or botanist in order to determine the location of wetlands and standing water in the vicinity of the tracks. The presence of wetlands and their locations were determined in conformance with the wetland vegetational criteria found within the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act (M.G.L. Chapter 131, Section 4.0) , its implementing regulations (310 CMR 10. 00) , and Massachusetts DEP policy. Standing water, not used as a public drinking water supply, was also located during these field 3-5 inspections. Observed sensitive areas associated with wetlands and/or standing water were temporarily marked in the field at the time of these inspections. The locations of these sensitive areas were then submitted in Requests for Determination of Applicability under the Wetlands Protection Act with each respective municipality for approval by the local Conservation Commission. These filings were submitted in compliance with Section 10. 05 (3) (a) (2) of the Wetlands Protection Act Regulations. Upon the issuance of a Determination of Applicability, permanent markers are installed to designate the approved boundaries of these sensitive areas. 3 .2 .4 Identification of Private Drinking Water Supplies As stated within Section 11.04 (2) (c) of the regulations, any private drinking water supply located within one hundred (100) feetof the right-of-way, in order to be protected, must be marked by the property owner by placing a sign on the edge of the right-of-way perpendicular to the location of the private drinking water supply, as described in this section of the regulations. The location of the well is required to be reported to the municipal Board of Health or other appropriate official. Information on private wells collected by the railroads from municipal agencies and through the Department of Food and Agriculture Pesticide Board will be kept on file by the railroads and incorporated into this Yearly Operational Plan. 3.2.5 Identification of Habitated and Agricultural Areas The Rights-of-Way Management Regulations restricts herbicide application within one hundred (100) feet of an agricultural or habitated area to one application per calendar year. As defined within the regulations, habitated areas refer to, but are not limited to, residences, schools, hospitals, parks, and recreational 3-6 facilities or other areas in which humans generally live, work or gather. Agricultural areas refer to, but are not limited to, actively cultivated gardens, greenhouses, orchards, fields, pastures, and other areas where herbicides might impact adversely on the vegetation under cultivation or agricultural management. These areas are considered to be "readily identifiable in the field" . In order to identify these areas and those marked with delineation markers, a pilot vehicle will proceed approximately 1/4 of a mile ahead of the applicator's vehicle in order to signal the location of these sensitive areas. Signaling will be done by means of radio communication or the use of a flashing cab light mounted on the pilot vehicle. 3 . 3 PROCEDURES FOR MIXING AND LOADING HERBICIDES The herbicide mix will be prepared from herbicide concentrate and water. This product will be contained and transported within approved apparatus mounted on the hi-rail truck. In compliance with the regulations, the handling, mixing and/or loading of this material will not occur within 100 feet of any sensitive area. Wherever and whenever possible, the herbicide applicator will prepare the herbicide mix on non-porous surfaces, such as pavement or concrete. 3 .4 SOURCES OF WATER AND SAFEGUARDS TO PREVENT CONTAMINATION Water used for herbicide mix will be obtained from hydrants and freshwater sources. During the herbicide mix preparation, strict adherence to the following safeguards will be maintained: 1) Water will be obtained using hoses equipped with anti-siphon devices to eliminate herbicide backflow. Hoses used to extract water from waterbodies will be equipped with two such devices: one will be located directly behind the mouth of the hose and another will be at the coupling which joins the hose to the mix tank. 3-7 Hoses used to extract water from hydrant will utilize the same set-up as described above, except that a third anti-siphon device will be found within the coupling joining the hose to the hydrant. 2) The herbicide concentrate will not be added to the tank until the water has been obtained and the applicator truck is at least 100 feet outside of a sensitive area. 3 .5 DISPOSAL OF HERBICIDE WASTES Disposal of all herbicide wastes will be the responsibility of the licensed applicator. It is the applicator's responsibility to ensure that such disposal is carried out in an environmentally sensitive manner, in compliance with all Federal and state regulations and guidelines. 3.6 EMERGENCY CONTACTS In the event of the occurrence of any spill, information on safety precautions and cleanup procedures will be gathered from the following sources: -Herbicide Label; -Herbicide Material Safety Data Sheets; -Herbicide Manufacturer - American Cyanamid (201) 835-3100; -Massachusetts Pesticide Bureau - (617) 727-7712 ; -Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection - Office (617) 292-5500; -Chem Trec - (800) 424-9300; -Local Community Chief of Police, Fire Chief, and Right-to-Know Coordinator; -Environmental Protection Agency Pesticide 24-hour Hotline - (800) 858-7378 (general information on products, poisoning, cleanup and disposal, compliance) ; and -Massachusetts Poison Control Center - (800) 682-9211 (24 hour medical emergency number) . 3-8 5.0 MAPS LOCATING SENSITIVE AREAS This section consists of: 1) railroad track charts delineating sensitive areas "not readily identifiable in the field", for each municipality included in this Plan, along with scales and a symbol key; and 2) United States Geological Survey (scale - 1:25,000) maps indicating the locus of the right-of-way within each municipality considered within this Yearly Operational Plan. 5-1 h-- SALEM to I�01, SALEM SHCUO yJ�fnP i I I r' _^ 0 - < 42.0 S O 40.0 Ia�M'`l1 ov& m" a f1 V m 39.0 m m 0 Br. 14.30 Culvert 0 N N 136.0 ca ca PoN'J c7 I -� 35.0 Oq' �I 34.0 y I m low w W E 10 5¢IF6 o a w m tt10.45�I > I I_ p vu a � 1 0 27.0 I�Im Br 14.88 Forest River 2 6.0 0 W O O o O m 26.0 Br. 15.17 Jefferson Ave. 0 0 o Br. 15. 26 l' Br. 15.39 C ` D 22.0 10 56' r I. 17.5 2c-16' - m M o 13.E ' r 2 '43 -0.50 ! ! - 2.50 D j iI i m In I°-o4g� 1 I ! !

Sanford Ecological Services has submitted the following summary of the Amtrak YOPs : The Amtrak Yearly Operational Plan for the 1990 calendar year proposes one post-emergent selective herbicide application targeted toward the eradication of vegetation growing in the ballast. This Yearly Operational Plan consists of five sections. Section 1 contains herbicide information relating to the herbicide product and adjuvant proposed, and herbicide application rates, timing and equipment. Section 2 identifies the company who will perform the herbicide application and the qualifications of this company. Field procedures are identified in Section 3 - specifically, identification of target vegetation, procedures for identifying and delineating sensitive areas, procedures for mixing and loading herbicides, sources of water, and safeguards used to prevent contamination. Section 4 lists municipalities included in this plan, as shown above. Section 5 contains maps locating re- strictive spray zones which have been deemed as such due to the proximity of sensitive areas considered "not readily identifiable in the field" to the area to be treated. These sensitive areas are: surface waters and wetlands, primary I recharge areas of aquifers, surface and groundd ranking water supplies, and appropriately identified private wells (for "appropriate" identification tech- niques, refer to 333 CMR 11.04 (c) (3) ) . The plan also outlines how "sensitive areas readily identifiable in the field" will be handled within this program. These are considered to be: habitated and agricultural areas. The estimated commencement of the herbicide application portion of this program is June 11, 1990. This program will commence only afer all required approvals have been obtained. The applicant has further described the "MBTA Commuter Rail" lines that have been scheduled for treatment and the municipalities they pass through : GLOUCESTER BRANCH (Gloucester to Beverly (connects to Eastern Route M.L. ) ) Gloucester Manchester Beverly EASTERN ROUTE MAIN BRANCH (Ipswich to Boston) Hamilton Swampscott Chelsea Wenham Lynn Everett Beverly Saugus Somerville Salem Revere Ipswich DFA/ Amtrak YOPs page 3 .

Public Review The Department of Food and Agriculture ( DFA) in particular seeks the verification of sensitive area locations reported in the YOP. The Department itself has a limited ability to survey the geography, land use , and the water supplies in all the communities through which the rights-of-way are located. Municipalities , how- ever , have most of this information readily available , and the particular knowledge with which to better certify the sensitive areas in their communities . Therefore , the Department requests , and urges , the assistance of the "affected" municipalities in reviewing the completeness and accuracy of the maps contained in the submitted document. The DFA has established the following procedures for this review. Yearly Operational Plans ( YOPs ) and a copy of this notice will be sent by the applicant to the Conservation Commission, Board of Health (or designated health agent ) , and to the head of government (Mayor , City Manager , Chair of the Board of Selectmen ) of each muni- cipality where herbicides are to be applied along the rights-of-way during the calendar year 1990 . Municipal agencies and officials will have forty-five ( 45 ) days following receipt of the YOP to review the maps contained in the document that indicate the location of "sensitive areas not readily identifiable in the field" for inaccuracies and omissions . "Sensitive areas" will be defined as in Section 11 . 02 a-f . Municipal agencies and officials are requested to forward the YOP to the appropriate official ( s ) in their municipality qualified to certify the accuracy of sensitive area locations as listed on the maps . The maps should be ' corrected ' and returned to the applicant, also a copy of the maps with these corrections indicated should be sent to the DFA to the address listed below, within the forty-five day review period. If a city or town needs more time to carry out this review, it should send a written request for an extension to the DFA and cite why there is a "good cause" for requesting addi- tional time . All corrections will be required to be made by the applicant, and corrected maps sent back to the city/town before the YOP can be considered "approved" by the Department for vegetation maintenance in that municipality. Any dispute regarding corrections made by municipal authorities , on the part of the applicant, should be indicated in writing to the Department and to the city/town which requested the disputed changes within fifteen ( 15 ) days of receipt of that request. The Department will decide whether or not the YOP should be approved without the requested changes . The final twenty-one ( 21) days of the public review period can serve concurrently to provide public notification as required by section 11. 07 of the Rights of Way Management regulations , if the =� DFA/ Amtrak YOPs page 5 . applicant has an approved VMP and if all the requisite city/town offices which have received copies of the YOP indicate in writing that they have completed their review and agree with the information provided by the applicant or that their office has completed their review of the YOP and corrections have been duly made by the applicant . A failure by the city/town to respond to the applicant ' s submission of this YOP within the forty-five day public review period will be considered by the DFA to indicate agreement by municipal officials with the sensitive area demarcations as provided by the applicant in their YOP. Any questions or comments on the information provided in this notice, the YOPs submitted by the Amtrak National Railroad Passenger Corporation, or the procedures established for the municipal review as outlined above , should be addressed to : Howard Gold, Director Rights of Way Program Pesticide Bureau Massachusetts Department of Food and Agriculture 100 Cambridge Street, 21st Floor Boston, MA 02202 4.

The track property is owned by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority who has contracted Amtrak National Railroad Passenger Corporation to operate this railway. Amtrak is responsible for the maintenance of the track and the safe operation of the passenger trains of the commuter rail lines. This Yearly Operational Plan is being prepared in compliance with the Rights-of-Way Management Regulations (333 CMR 11. 00) . While the Vegetation Management Plan prepared under this Act defines the overall strategy used by the railroad industry to control vegetation, this Plan contains specific information including, but not limited to, herbicide products, timing of application, and the location of sensitive areas. i. 1989 YEARLY OPERATIONAL PLAN TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE SECTION 1. 0 HERBICIDE INFORMATION 1-1 Section 1. 1 Description of Herbicide Product/s 1-1 Section 1. 2 Application Rates 1-1 Section 1. 3 Application Timing 1-2 Section 1. 4 Application Equipment 1-3 Section 1. 5 Herbicide Fact Sheets 1-3 SECTION 2 . 0 PERSONNEL/APPLICATOR 2-1 Section 2 . 1 Name, Address and Telephone Number of 2-1 Contractor Section 2 . 2 Qualifications of Contractor 2-1 Section 2 . 3 ROW Operator Supervisor, Address and 2-1 Telephone Number SECTION 3 . 0 FIELD PROCEDURES 3-1 Section 3 . 1 Identification of Target Vegetation 3-1 Section 3 . 2 Procedures for Identifying Sensitive 3-3 Areas Section 3 . 2 . 1 Definition of Sensitive Areas 3-3 Section 3 . 2 . 2 Identification and Location of 3-4 Wells and Surface Water Supplies Section 3 . 2 . 3 Identification and Location of 3-4 Wetlands Section 3 .2 .4 Identification of Private 3-5 Drinking Water Supplies Section 3 . 2 . 5 Identification of Habitated and 3-5 Agricultural Areas Section 3 . 3 Procedures for Mixing and Loading 3-6 Herbicide Section 3 . 4 Sources of Water and Safeguards to 3-6 Prevent Contamination Section 3 . 5 Disposal of Herbicide Wastes 3-7 SECTION 4 . 0 MUNICIPALITIES INCLUDED IN 1989 YEARLY 4-1 OPERATIONAL PLAN SECTION 5. 0 MAPS LOCATING SENSITIVE AREAS 5-1 APPENDIX A HERBICIDE FACT SHEETS APPENDIX B RIGHTS-OF-WAY MANAGEMENT REGULATIONS (333 CMR 11. 00) ii. 1. HERBICIDE INFORMATION 1. 1 DESCRIPTION OF HERBICIDE The herbicide Roundup, manufactured by the Monsanto Company, is proposed to be applied selectively in approved areas along AMTRAK rights-of-way within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for the 1989 calendar year. Roundup has been approved by the Massachusetts Department of Food and Agriculture Pesticide Board for use in Sensitive Areas as defined in the Rights-of-Way Management Regulations (333 CMR 11. 00, provided in Appendix B of this document) . Roundup, which contains the active ingredient glyphosphate (n- (phosphonomethyl)glycine isopropylamine salt) , effectively controls many annual and perennial grasses and broadleaf weeds when applied as directed. It should be noted that in the "Herbicide Fact Sheet" prepared by the Massachusetts Department of Food and Agriculture (see Appendix A) , glyphosphate has been judged to be relatively immobile in most soil environments due to its strong adsorption to soil particles and organic matter, which begins almost immediately after application. Thus, as concluded within the "Herbicide Fact Sheet" , when this product is used as recommended by the manufacturer, deleterious impacts are unlikely to occur in water bodies due to its low propensity to enter watercourses through runoff or leaching following land application. In order to reduce any drift potential of this herbicide when applied in sensitive areas, an adjuvant, also referred to as a thickener or wetting agent, will be added to the herbicide. The adjuvant proposed for use is More (manufactured by the Exacto Chemical Company) , which contains 30% polyacrylamide copolymer as its active ingredient. 1.2 APPLICATION RATES A mixture of herbicide (Roundup) and adjuvant (More) will be 1-1 selectively applied on the right-of-way in compliance with all regulations, and in accordance with the following application rates: Product Rate Roundup 3 quarts/acre More 1 - 1. 5 ounces/acre The above product quantities will be diluted in 30 gallons of water to achieve the desired concentration. The speed of the vehicle and the pressure of discharge will occur such that an application rate of 30 gallons of herbicide mix/acre to the right-of-way will be produced. In accordance with Sections 11. 02 and 11. 04 of the Rights-of-Way Management Regulations, this discharge pressure will not exceed 60 psi. 1. 3 APPLICATION TIMING One selective post-emergent application of herbicide is proposed to occur in the 1989 calendar year within approved areas along the AMTRAK rights-of-way. In accordance with Section 11. 07 of the Rights-of-Way Management Regulations, public notification (by registered mail) will be provided to each affected municipality at least twenty-one (21) days prior to any herbicide application. This notification will be sent to the Mayor, City Manager or Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, Board of Health, and Conservation Commission of each of these municipalities, and will include (at a minimum) : 1) a copy of the approved Yearly Operational Plan; 2) the approximate dates on which any proposed herbicide spraying will commence and conclude (provided that this spraying does not conclude more than ten (10) days after said approximate date) ; 3) a copy of a Department of Food and Agriculture-approved Herbicide Fact Sheet on the active ingredient of the herbicide to be used; and 1-2 4) the name and address of the contractor who will make the herbicide application, or the name of the certified employee who will make the application. A copy of this notification will also be sent to the Department of Food and Agriculture Pesticide Bureau. 1. 4 APPLICATION EQUIPMENT Hi-rail vehicles equipped with herbicide application equipment will be used to treat the right-of-way. The standard equipment used to apply the product consists of a spraying boom mounted to the rear of this truck. This boom carries a number of nozzles directed straight downward which are spaced 20 inches apart; the number opened normally depends on the desired width of spray. In this case, the spray width will be 10 feet, which is consistent with that proposed within the Vegetation Management Plan. The entire boom is 13 feet 4 inches wide, and is mounted 18 inches above the railway ballast. The commencement and cessation of spray is completely controlled within the cab of the spray vehicle. In order to catch any accidental dripping of herbicide within Sensitive Areas, a "container" will be used. This is a trough-shaped apparatus mounted just behind and above the boom, and will be hydraulically lowered to sit underneath the spray nozzles while the vehicle is travelling through areas where herbicide spraying is prohibited. 1. 5 HERBICIDE FACT SHEETS Herbicide Fact Sheets have been prepared by the Massachusetts Department of Food and Agriculture to provide herbicide specifications and technical data. Fact Sheets for the products Roundup and More are found as Appendix A. 1-3 2 .

RWC, Inc. has worked closely with the Pesticide Board in the past regarding herbicide application practices in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and will continue to do so under the present Rights-of-Way Management Regulations (333 CMR 11. 00) , along with the associated Vegetation Management Plan and Yearly Operational Plans. 2 . 3 AMTRAK COMMUTER RAIL SUPERVISOR, NAME, ADDRESS AND TELEPHONE NUMBER Mr. John D. Ray Engineer - Maintenance of Way MBTA Railroad Operations 10 Park Plaza Boston, Massachusetts 02116 (617) 722-6176 2-1 I 3 . FIELD PROCEDURES 3 . 1 IDENTIFICATION OF TARGET VEGETATION 3 . 1. 1 Ballast Area This post-emergent program is targeted toward the eradication of woody and herbaceous plant species germinating within the boundaries of the railroad ballast. As alternate physical and/or economically practicable means of controlling this ballast vegetation are currently unavailable to the railroad industry, herbicides will be selectively applied within an integrated approach along approved areas of the AMTRAK right-of-way. The ballast is defined in the Rights-of-Way Management Regulations (333 CMR 11. 02) as " . . .the coarse gravel or crushed rock on to (sic) which the ties, tracks and any switching, signaling and communication devices of a railroad are laid" . Through natural successional processes, vegetation can be expected to become established within railway ballast over time. The rate at which it becomes established along a given portion of the right-of-way depends on the environmental conditions in that particular area, thus providing for the differences in density of such vegetation which can be observed to occur along the ballast. This vegetation includes both annual and perennial grasses and weedy herbaceous plants, along with shrub and tree seedlings. The railroad industry maintains that this vegetational growth presents both a hindrance to required railway maintenance practices and a hazard to public and employee safety. For example, such vegetational growth may obstruct the visibility of railroad signs and signals; it may prevent railway workers from seeing. damaged, broken or improperly adjusted track; and propagating root systems within the ballast may reduce drainage and increase moisture around the ties and other wooden structures, thus encouraging decay and reducing the useful life of the structures. In addition, plant tissues growing near the rail may be immediately crushed between 3-1 wheel and rail, with released water and plant sap acting as a lubricant to increase locomotive stopping distances. It should be noted that Federal law (49 C.F.R. Subsection 213 . 37) requires railroads to control vegetation along their rights-of-way: Vegetation on railroad property which is on or immediately adjacent to roadbed, must be controlled so that it does not: a) Become a fire hazard to track carrying structures; b) obstruct visibility of railroad signs and signals; c) Interfere with railroad employees performing normal trackside duties ; d) Prevent proper functioning of signal and communication lines; e) Prevent railroad employees from visually inspecting moving equipment from their normal duty stations. 3 . 1. 2 Area Adjacent to the Ballast Woody vegetation, growing in the areas adjacent to the railroad ballast, will be selectively managed in order to promote the growth of low-growing shrub species. Targeted woody vegetation will be that which has the potential to invade the roadbed area and/or the overhead communication lines. Selective mechanical mowing and hand cutting will be the means used to control this vegetation. Stem, foliar, and cut stump applications of herbicide to woody vegetation will not be used to manage this area in the 1989 calendar year. One exception to the above will be the management of poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) growing around and along signal boxes. The constuction of these boxes is such that the vegetation must be either hand-cut or treated with herbicide in order to be eliminated, as opposed to being cut back with a mechanical mower. Since dermal contact with this plant can cause severe irritation, hand-cutting of this species is not recommended. Therefore, the railroad proposes to selectively treat poison ivy in these areas 3-2 with manual applications of Roundup. This application will comply with all sensitive area restictions and set-backs as defined in the Rights-of-Way Management Regulations. 3 . 2 PROCEDURES FOR IDENTIFYING SENSITIVE AREAS 3 . 2 . 1 Definition of Sensitive Areas Sensitive areas have been defined in the Rights-of-Way Management Regulations (333 CMR 11. 00) as (but not limited to) areas: a. within the primary recharge area of a public drinking water supply well; b. within four hundred (400) feet of any surface water used as a public water supply; C. within one hundred (100) feet of any appropriately marked private drinking water supply; d. within one hundred (100) feet or any standing or flowing water; e. within one hundred (100) feet of any wetland; and f. within one hundred (100) feet of any agricultural or vegetated area. Sensitive areas "not readily identifiable in the field" (viz . , areas a, b, d, and e, above) will be designated with permanent markers. The markers used will be large, color-coded posts (Curve-Reflex Posts) , approximately four feet in height, permanently installed to mark "no-spray" and "limited-spray" zones as defined in the regulations. These posts are - readily identifiable from a distance and can withstand significant impacts. The markers will be inventoried as they are installed and their locations verified before every approved herbicide application. No herbicide application will occur within a municipality until permanent markers delineating its sensitive areas have been 3-3 properly installed. 3 . 2 . 2 Identification and Location of Wells and Surface Water supplies In the course of identifying and locating public wells, aquifer recharge areas and surface drinking water supplies, detailed maps prepared by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering, Division of Water Supply were consulted. These maps detail the specific locations of public wells and water supplies. In addition, local Conservation Commissions, Boards of Health and Water Departments were contacted in an effort to obtain further detailed information with respect to both public and private water supplies. All of this information was used in order to identify restricted spray zones along the right-of-way in compliance with the Right-of-Way Management Regulations (333 CMR 11. 00) . These known restricted zones within each municipality are identified on the maps provided within Section 4 . 2 of this Yearly Operational Plan. 3 . 2 . 3 Identification and Location of Wetlands Each portion of the right-of-way was visually inspected by a qualified wetland scientist or botanist in order to determine the location of wetlands and standing water in the vicinity of the tracks. The presence of wetlands and their locations were determined in conformance with the wetland vegetational criteria found within the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act (M.G.L. Chapter 131, Section 40) , its implementing regulations (310 CMR 10. 00) and Massachusetts DEQE policy. Standing water, not used as a public drinking water supply, was also located during these field inspections. 3-4 Observed sensitive areas associated with wetlands and/or standing water were temporarily marked in the field at the time of these inspections. The locations of these sensitive areas were then submitted in Requests for Determination of Applicability under the Wetlands Protection Act with each respective municipality for approval by the local Conservation Commission. These filings were submitted in compliance with Section 10 . 05 (3) (a) (2) of the Wetlands Protection Act Regulations. Upon the issuance of a Determination of Applicability, permanent markers are installed to designate the approved boundaries of these sensitive areas. 3 . 2 . 4 Identification of Private Drinking Water Supplies As stated within Section 11. 04 (2) (c) of the regulations, any private drinking water supply located within one hundred (100) feet of the right-of-way, in order to be protected, must be marked by the property owner by placing a sign of the edge of the right-of-way perpendicular to the location of the private drinking water supply, as described in this section of the regulations. The location of the well is required to be reported to the municipal Board of Health or other appropriate official . This information will be incorporated into a Yearly Operational Plan as it is made available .to the the railroad by either the municipality or the Department of Food and Agriculture Pesticide Board. 3 . 2 . 5 Identification of Habitated and Agricultural Areas The Rights-of-Way Management Regulations restricts herbicide application within one hundred (100) feet of an agricultural or habitated area to one application per calendar year. As defined within the regulations, habitated areas refer to, but are not limited to, residences, schools, hospitals, parks, and recreational facilities or other areas in which humans generally live, work or gather. Agricultural areas refer to, but are not limited to, 3-5 actively cultivated gardens, greenhouses, orchards, fields, pastures, and other areas where herbicides might impact adversely on the vegetation under cultivation or agricultural management. These areas are considered to be "readily identifiable in the field" . In order to identify these areas and those marked with delineation markers, a pilot vehicle will proceed approximately 1/4 of a mile ahead of the applicator's vehicle in order to signal the location of these sensitive areas. Signaling will be done by means of radio communication or the use of a flashing cab light mounted on the pilot vehicle. 3 . 3 PROCEDURES FOR MIXING AND LOADING HERBICIDES The herbicide mix will be prepared from herbicide concentrate and water. This product will be contained and transported within approved apparatus mounted on the hi-rail truck. In compliance with the regulations, the handling, mixing and/or loading of this material will not occur within 100 feet of any sensitive area. Wherever and whenever possible, the herbicide applicator will prepare the herbicide mix on non-porous surfaces, such as pavement or concrete. 3 . 4 SOURCES OF WATER AND SAFEGUARDS TO PREVENT CONTAMINATION Water used for herbicide mix will be obtained from hydrants and freshwater sources. During the herbicide mix preparation, strict adherence to the following safeguards will be maintained: 1) Water will be obtained using hoses equipped with anti-siphon devices to eliminate herbicide backflow. Hoses used to extract water from waterbodies will be equipped with two such devices: one will be located 3-6 directly behind the mouth of the hose and another will be at the coupling which joins the hose to the mix tank. Hoses used to extract water from hydrant will utilize the same set-up as described above, except that a third anti-siphon device will used is found within the coupling joining the hose to the hydrant. 2) The herbicide concentrate will not be added to the tank until the water has been obtained and the applicator truck is at least 100 feet outside of a sensitive area. 3 . 5 DISPOSAL OF HERBICIDE WASTES Disposal of all herbicide wastes will be the responsibility of the licensed applicator. It is the applicator's responsibility to ensure that such disposal is carried out in an environmentally sensitive manner, in compliance with all Federal and state regulations and guidelines. 3-7 4 .

APPENDIX A HERBICIDE FACT SHEETS 1 HERBICIDE FACT SHEET MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF FOOD & AGRICULTURE y,� 100 Cambridge Street, Boston MA 02202 (617)727-7712 August SchumacherJn, Commissioner 'iassaar�serb`J grown._od kasha: GLYPHOSATE Common Trade Name(s) : Roundup, Rodeo, Accord Chemical Name: N-(phosphonomethyl )glycine-isopropylamine salt CAS No. : 1071-83-6 GENERAL INFORMATION Glyphosate, n-phosphonomethyl glycine- is asystemic, broad spectrum herbicide effective against. most plant species, including deeprooted perenial species, annual and biennial species of grasses, sedges, and broad]eafed weeds. The major- pathway for uptake in plants is ttirou h the foli uptake 9 foliage, however, p ake ma - occur. d some root Y The_presence of surfactants and humidity increases the -rate of absorption of glyphosate by plants ( 15) .- Foliarly applied glyphosate is readily absorbed and translocated from treated -areas to untreated shoot regions. The mechanism of herbicidal action for glyphosate is believed to be inhibition of amino acid biosynthesis resulting in a reduction of protein synthesis and inhibition of growth ( 10, 15, 101 ) . Glyphosate is generally formulated as the isopropylamine salt in aqueous solu- tion (122) . Of the three products containing glyphosate considered here, Roundup is sold with a surfactant and Rodeo and Accord are mixed with surfac- tants prior to use (15) . and has been reviewed by US Forest Service ( 15) , FAO (122), and EPA ODW (51) . ENVIRONMENTAL FATE Mobility Glyphosate is relatively immobile in most soil environments as a result of its strong adsorption to soil particles . Adsorption to soil particles -and organic matter begins almost immediately after application. Binding occurs with par- ticular rapidity to clays and organic matter ( 15) . Clays and organic matter saturated with iron and aluminum (such as in the Northeast) tend to absorb more glyphosate than those saturated with sodium or calcium. The soil phosphate level is the main determinant of the amount of glyphosate adsorbed to soil par- ticles. Soils which are low in phosphates will adsorb higher levels of glypho- sate ( 14, 15) . Glyphosate is classified as immobile by the Helling and Turner classification system. In soil column leaching studies using aged (1 month) glyphosate, leaching of glyphosate was said to be insignificant after 0.5 inches of water per day for 45 days ( 14) . Persistence It has been reported that glyphosate dissipates relatively rapidly when applied to most soils ( 14). However, studies indicate that the soil half-life is variable and dependent upon soil factors. The half-life of glyphosate in greenhouse studies when applied to silty clay loam, silt loam, and sandy loam at rates of 4 and 8 ppm was 3, 27 and 130 days respectively, independent of appli- cation rate ( 14) . An average half-life of 2 months has been reported in field studies for 11 soils ( 15) . Glyphosate is mainly degraded biologically by soil micro-organisms and has a minimal effect on soil microflora (.15) . In the soil environment, glyphosate is resistant to chemical -.-degradation such as n hydrolysis a d is stable to sunlight ( 15) . The primary metabolite of glyphosate is aminomethyl phosphoni.c acid AMPA ( ) which has a slower degradation rate thah glyphosate (15) . The per= si stence of AMPA is reported po ted to be longer than glyphosate, possibly due--to tighter binding to soil (14) . No data are available .on the toxicity of this compound. Glyphosate degradation by microorganisms has been widely tested in a variety of field and laboratory studies. Soil characteristics used in these studies have included organic contents, soil types and pHs similar to- those that occur in Massachusetts (117) .- - Glyphosate degradation rates vary -considerably .across a wide variety of soil types. The rate ofdegradation is correlated with microbial activity f - y o the soils and does not appear to be largely dependent on soil pH or organic content (-117) . While degradation rates are likely- temperature dependent, most reviews _ of studies do not report or discuss the dependence of degradation rate on tem- perature. Mueller et al . (1981 cited in 117) noted that glyphosate degraded in Finnish agricultural soils (loam and fine silt soils) over the winter months; a fact which indicates that degradation would likely take place in similar soils in the cool Massachusetts climate. Glyphosate half-lives for laboratory experi- ments on sandy loam and loamy sand, which are common in Massachusetts, range up to 175 days (117). The generalizations noted for the body of available results are sufficient) t Y robust o incorporate conditions p co tions and results applicable to Massachusetts. glyphosate use in Massac p TOXICITY REVIEW Acute (Mammalian) Glyphosate has reported oral LD50s of 4,320 and 5,600 mg/kg in male and female rats ( 15,4). The oral LD50s of the two major glyphosate products Rodeo and Roundup are 5,000 and 5,400 mg/kg in the rat ( 15) . A dermal L050 of 7,940 mg/kg has been determined in rabbits (15,4) . There are reports of mild dermal irritation in rabbits (6), moderate eye irritation in rabbits (7), and possible phototoxicity in humans (9) . The product involved in the phototoxicity study was Tumbleweed marketed by Murphys Limited UK (9) . Maibach ( 1986) investigated the irritant and the photo irritant responses in individuals exposed to Roundup (41% glyphosate, water, and surfactant); Pinesol liquid, Johnson Baby Shampoo, and Ivory Liquid dishwashing detergent. The conclusion drawn was that glyposate has less irritant potential than the Pinesol or the Ivory dishwashing liquid (120). Metabolism Elimination of glyphosate is rapid and very little of the material is metabo- lized (6, 106) . Subchronic/Chronic Studies (Mammalian) In subchronic tests, glyphosate was administered in the diet to dogs and rats at 200, 600, and 2,000 ppm for 90 days. A variety of toxicological endpoints were evaluated with .no significant abnormalities reported ( 15, 10)-. In other subchronic tests , rats received 0, 1 ,000, 5,000, or 20,000 ppm (57, 286, 1143 mg/kg) in the diet for 3 months . The no observable adverse effect level (NOAEL) was 20,000 ppm ( 1 , 143 mg/kg) ( 115) . In the one year oral dog study, dogs received 20, 100, and 500 mg/kg/day. The- no -observable effect level (NOEL) was 500 mg/kg (116) . Oncogenicity Studies Several chronic carcinogenicity -studies have been reported for glyphosate including-an 18 month, mouse study; .and two year rat study. . In. the rat study, the animals received 0, 30; 100 or. 300 ppm in diet for 2 years . EPA has deter- mined that the doses in the rat study do not reach the maximum tolerated dose (112) and replacement studies are underway with a high dose of 20,000 ppm (123) . The mice received 1000 5000 or 30,.000 ppm for 18 months in -their diets. These studies were non-positive ( 112,109). There was a non-statistically significant increase in a rare renal tumor (renal tubular adenoma (benign) in male mice (109) . The rat chronic study needs to be redone with a high dose to fill a partial data gap (112). The EPA weight of evidence classification would be D: not classified (51) . Mutagenicity Testin Glyphosate has been tested in many short term mutagenicity tests. These include 7 bacterial ( including Salmonella typhimurim and B. subtilis) and 1 yeast strain Sacchomyces cerevisiae as well as a mouse dominant lethal test and sister chro- matid exchange. The microbial tests were negative up to 2,000 mg/plate (15) , as were the mouse dominant lethal and the Chinese hamster ovary cell tests. EPA considers the mutagenicity requirements for glyphosate to be complete in the Guidance for the Registration of Pesticide Products containing glyphosate (112) . 1 Developmental Studies The developmental studies that have been done using glyphosate include terato- genicity studies in the rat and rabbit, three generation reproduction studies in the rat, and a reproduction study in the deer mouse. ( 15) Rats were exposed to levels of up to 3,500 mg/kg/d in one rat teratology study. There were no teratogenic effects at 3,500 mg/kg/d and the fetotoxicity NOEL was 1 ,000 mg/kg/d. In the rabbit study a fetotoxicity NOEL was determined at 175 mg/kg/d and no teratogenic effects were observed at 10 or 30 mg/kg/d in one study and 350 mg/kg/d in the other study ( 15) . No effects were observed in the deer mouse collected from conifer forest sprayed at 2 Its active ingredient per acre ( 15) . Tolerances & Guidelines EPA has established tolerances for glyphosate residues in at least 75 agri- cultural products ranging from 0. 1 ppm (most vegetables) to 200 ppm for animal feed commodities such as alfalfa (8) . U. S. EPA Office of Drinking Water has released draft Health Advisories for Glyphosate of 17.50 mg/L (ten day) and 0.70 mg/L (Lifetime) (51 ) . Avian Two types of avian toxicity studies have been done with glyphosate: ingestion in adults and exposure of the eggs. The species used in the ingestion studies were the mallard duck, bobwhite quail , and the adult hen (chickens). The 8 day feeding LC5Os in the mallard and bobwhite are both greater than 4,640 ppm. In the hen study, 1 ,250 mg/kg was administered twice daily for 3 days resulting in a total dose of 15,000 mg/kg. No behavioral or microscopic changes were observed ( 15) . Invertebrates A variety of invertebrates (mostly arthropods) and microorganisms from fresh- water, marine, and terrestrial ecosystems have been studied for acute toxic effects of technical glyphosate as well as formulated Roundup. The increased toxicity of Roundup compared with technical glyphosate in some studies indicates that it is the surfactant (MONO 818) in Roundup that is the primary toxic agent ( 117) . Acute toxicity information may be summarized as follows: Glyphosate (technical ) : Acute toxicity ranges from a 48 hr EC50 for midge larvae of 55 mg/L to a 96 hr TL50 for the fiddler crab of 934 mg/L ( 15) . Roundup: Acute toxicity ranges from a 48 hr EC50 for Daphnia of 3 mg/L to a 96 hr LC50 for crayfish of 1000 mg/L ('15). Among the insects tested, the LD50 for noneybees was 100 mg/bee 48 hours after either ingestion, or topical application of technical glyphosate and Roundup. This level of experimental exposure is considerably in excess of exposure levels that would occur during normal field applications ( 15) . Aquatic Species-(Fish) Technical glyphosate and the formulation Roundup have been tested on various fish species. Roundup is more toxic than glyphosate, and it is the surfactant that is considered to be the primary toxic agent in Roundup: Glyphosate (technical ) : Acute 96 hr LC50s range from 24 mg/L for bluegill (Dynamic test) to 168 mg/L for the harlequin fish ( 15) . Roundup: Acute lethal toxicity values range from a 96 hr LC50 for the fathead minnow of 2.3 mg/L to a 96 hr TL50 for rainbow trout of 48 mg/L ( 15) . Tests with Roundup show that the egg stage is the least sensitive fish life stage. The toxicity increases as the fish .enter the sac fry and early swim up stages. Higher test temperatures increased the toxicity of Roundup to fish, as did higher pH (up :to pH 7.5) . Above pH 7.5, no change in toxicity is observed. Glyphosate alone is considered to be only slightly acutely toxic to fish species (LC50s greater than 10 mg/L), whereas ,Roundup is considered to be toxic to some species of fish, having LC50s gerrerally lower than 10 mg/L ( 15, 118) . SUMMARY Glyphosate when used as recommended by the manufacturer, is unlikely to enter watercourses through run-off or leaching following terrestrial application -( 117) . Toxic levels are therefore unlikely to occur in water bodies -wi-th normal application rates and practices ( 118). Glyphosate has oral LD50s of 4,320 and 5,600 in male and female rats respec- tively. The elimination is rapid and very little of it is metabolized. The NOAEL in rats was 20,000 ppm and 500 mg/kg/d in dogs. No teratogenic effect was observed at doses up to 3,500 mg/kg/d and the fetotoxicity NOELS were 1 ,000 mg/kg/d in the rat and 175 mg/kg/d in the rabbit. The evidence of oncogenicity in animals is judged as insufficient at this time to permit classification of the carcinogenic potential of glyphosate. The compound is not mutagenic. REFERENCES 1 .

This delineation was performed by Sanford Ecological Services, Inc. last summer. The enclosed filing includes a portion of a USGS map that shows the location of the railroad line in your town and a railroad track chart which shows the location of wetlands and other sensitive areas along the track. The track itself has been spray painted with orange paint where wetland resources were encountered. This RFD is submitted in accordance with 333 CMR 11:00 which states regulations for Rights of Way Management in Massachusetts. Each town must approve the wetland delineation along the track before a Yearly Operational Plan for vegetation control can be formulated and submitted to the state. We would be happy to provide you with a field inspection of the railroad track wetland delineation. However, this must be previously arranged with Amtrak to insure the safely of all involved. Amtrak has agreed to provide hi-rail vehicles for the Commissions if they wish to view the delineations. If you would like to meet for a field inspection prior to holding a public hearing, please contact me at the above number and I will make the necessary arrangements. Feel free to call me with any questions you may have. Cordially, Cathy Pedevillano M.S. SANFORD ECOLOGICAL SERVICES, INC. Go 32'.

The track property is owned by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation ' Authority who has contracted Amtrak National Railroad Passenger Corporation to operate this railway. Amtrak is responsible for the i maintenance of the track and the safe operation of the passenger trains of the commuter rail lines. This Yearly Operational Plan is being prepared in compliance with the Rights-of-Way Management Regulations (333 CMR 11. 00) . iWhile the Vegetation Management Plan prepared under this Act defines the overall strategy used by the railroad industry to control vegetation, this Plan contains specific information including, but not limited to, herbicide products, timing of ' application, and the location of sensitive areas. i 1 i 1990 YEARLY OPERATIONAL PLAN TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE SECTION 1. 0 HERBICIDE INFORMATION 1-1 ' Section 1. 1 Description of Herbicide Product/s 1-1 Section 1. 2 Application Rates 1-1 Section 1. 3 Application Timing 1-2 ' Section 1. 4 Application Equipment 1-3 Section 1.5 Herbicide Fact Sheets 1-3 ' SECTION 2 . 0 PERSONNEL/APPLICATOR 2-1 Section 2 . 1 Name, Address and Telephone Number of 2-1 Contractor Section 2 . 2 Qualifications of Contractor 2-1 Section 2 . 3 ROW Operator Supervisor, Address and 2-1 ' Telephone Number SECTION 3 . 0 FIELD PROCEDURES 3-1 Section 3 . 1 Identification of Target Vegetation 3-1 Section 3 . 2 Procedures for Identifying Sensitive 3-3 Areas SectionSection 3 . 2 . 1 Definition of Sensitive Areas 3-3 Section 3 . 2 . 2 Identification and Location of 3-4 ' Wells and Surface Water Supplies Section 3 . 2 . 3 Identification and Location of 3-4 Wetlands ' Section 3 . 2 . 4 Identification of Private 3-5 Drinking Water Supplies Section 3 . 2 .5 Identification of Habitated and 3-5 Agricultural Areas ' Section 3 . 3 Procedures for Mixing and Loading 3-6 Herbicide Section 3 . 4 Sources of Water and Safeguards to 3-6 ' Prevent Contamination Section 3 . 5 Disposal of Herbicide Wastes 3-7 SECTION 4 . 0 MUNICIPALITIES INCLUDED IN 1990 YEARLY 4-1 OPERATIONAL PLAN ' SECTION 5. 0 MAPS LOCATING SENSITIVE AREAS 5-1 APPENDIX A HERBICIDE FACT SHEETS APPENDIX B RIGHTS-OF-WAY MANAGEMENT REGULATIONS (333 CMR 11.00) ii. ' 1. HERBICIDE INFORMATION ' 1. 1 DESCRIPTION OF HERBICIDE ' The herbicide Arsenal, manufactured by the American Cyanamid Company, is proposed to be applied selectively in approved areas along AMTRAK rights-of-way within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for the 1990 calendar year. Arsenal has been approved by the Massachusetts Department of Food and Agriculture Pesticide Board for use in Sensitive Areas as defined in the Rights-of-Way Management Regulations (333 CMR 11. 00, provided in Appendix B of tthis document) . Arsenal, which contains the active ingredient imazapyr [2- (4-isopropyl-4-methyl-5-oxy-2-imidazolin-2-yl nicotinic acid with isopropyl amine(2) ] effectively controls many annual and perennial grasses and broadleaf weeds when applied as directed. It should be noted that in the "Herbicide Fact Sheet" prepared by the Massachusetts Department of Food and Agriculture (see Appendix A) , imazapyr has been judged to be relatively immobile in soil due to ' its strong adsorption to soil particles and organic matter, which begins almost immediately after application. Thus, as concluded within the "Herbicide Fact Sheet" , when this product is used as recommended by the manufacturer, dispersal in sensitive areas will be limited. In order to reduce any drift potential of this herbicide when applied in sensitive areas, an adjuvant, also referred to as a thickener or wetting agent, will be added to the herbicide. The adjuvant proposed for use is More (manufactured by the Exacto Chemical Company) , which contains 30% polyacrylamide copolymer as its active ingredient. 1. 2 APPLICATION RATES 1 A mixture of herbicide (Arsenal) and adjuvant (More) will be 1-1 selectively applied on the right-of-way in compliance with all regulations, and in accordance with the following application ' rates: ' Product Rate Arsenal 3 pints/acre More 1 - 1. 5 ounces/acre The above product quantities will be diluted in 30 gallons of water to achieve the desired concentration. The speed of the vehicle and the pressure of discharge will occur such that an application rate of 30 gallons of herbicide mix/acre to the right-of-way will be produced. In accordance with Sections 11. 02 and 11. 04 of the Rights-of-Way Management Regulations, this discharge pressure will not exceed 60 psi. 1. 3 APPLICATION TIMING One selective post-emergent application of herbicide is proposed to occur in the 1990 calendar year within approved areas along the AMTRAK rights-of-way. In accordance with Section 11. 07 of the Rights-of-Way Management Regulations, public notification (by registered mail) will be provided to each affected municipality at least twenty-one (21) days prior to any herbicide application. This notification will be sent to the Mayor, City Manager or Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, Board of Health, and Conservation Commission of each of these municipalities, and will include (at a minimum) : 1) a copy of the approved Yearly Operational Plan; 2) the approximate dates on which any proposed herbicide spraying will commence and conclude (provided that this spraying does not conclude more than ten (10) days after said approximate ' date) ; 3) a copy of a Department of Food and Agriculture-approved Herbicide Fact Sheet on the active ingredient of the herbicide to 1 be used; and 1-2 4) the name and address of the contractor who will make the herbicide application, or the name of the certified employee ' who will make the application. A copy of this notification will also be sent to the Department of ' Food and Agriculture Pesticide Bureau. ' 1. 4 APPLICATION EQUIPMENT Hi-rail vehicles equipped with herbicide application equipment will be used to treat the right-of-way. The standard equipment used to apply the product consists of a spraying boom mounted to ' the rear of this truck. This boom carries a number of nozzles directed straight downward which are spaced 20 inches apart; the number opened normally depends on the desired width of spray. In this case, the spray width will be 10 feet, which is consistent with that proposed within the Vegetation Management Plan. The entire boom is 13 feet 4 inches wide, and is mounted 18 inches above the railway ballast. The commencement and cessation of spray is completely ' controlled within the cab of the spray vehicle. In order to catch any accidental dripping of herbicide within Sensitive Areas, a "container" will be used. This is a trough-shaped apparatus mounted just behind and above the boom, and will be hydraulically lowered to sit underneath the spray nozzles while the vehicle is travelling through areas where herbicide spraying is prohibited. ' 1. 5 HERBICIDE FACT SHEETS Herbicide Fact Sheets have been prepared by the Massachusetts Department of Food and Agriculture to provide herbicide specifications and technical data. Fact Sheets for the product Arsenal are found as Appendix A. 1-3 L 2 . HERBICIDE APPLICATOR AND ASSOCIATED PERSONNEL ' 2 . 1 NAME, ADDRESS AND TELEPHONE NUMBER OF CONTRACTOR The company performing herbicide application is: ' RWC, Inc. Lockhouse Road, P.O. Box 876 Westfield, Massachusetts 01086 Mr. John B. Roy, President (413) 562-5681 2 . 2 QUALIFICATIONS OF CONTRACTOR 1 RWC, Inc. has 28 years of experience with herbicide treatment of vegetation on railroad rights-of-way, and presently operates in 28 states in the U.S. All applicators employed by RWC, Inc. in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts are properly licensed by the Department of Food and Agriculture Pesticide Board and fully ' trained in herbicide application methods. RWC, Inc. has worked closely with the Pesticide Board in the past regarding herbicide application practices in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and will continue to do so under the present Rights-of-Way Management Regulations (333 CMR 11. 00) , along with the associated Vegetation ' Management Plan and Yearly Operational Plans. ' 2 . 3 AMTRAK COMMUTER RAIL SUPERVISOR, NAME, ADDRESS AND TELEPHONE NUMBER Mr. Eli Mistovich Assistant Division Engineer AMTRAK Engineering Department 56 Roland Street Charlestown, MA 02129 (617) 722-3619 ' 2-1 3 . FIELD PROCEDURES ' 3 . 1 IDENTIFICATION OF TARGET VEGETATION ' 3 . 1. 1 Ballast Area ' This post-emergent program is targeted toward the eradication of woody and herbaceous plant species germinating within the boundaries of the railroad ballast. As alternate physical and/or economically practicable means of controlling this ballast ' vegetation are currently unavailable to the railroad industry, herbicides will be selectively applied within an integrated approach along approved areas of the AMTRAK right-of-way. ' The ballast is defined in the Rights-of-Way Management ' Regulations (333 CMR 11. 02) as " . . .the coarse gravel or crushed rock on to [sic] which the ties, tracks and any switching, signaling and communication devices of a railroad are laid" . Through natural successional processes, vegetation can be expected to become established within railway ballast over time. The rate at which it becomes established along a given portion of the right-of-way depends on the environmental conditions in that particular area, thus providing for the differences in density of such vegetation which can be observed to occur along the ballast. This vegetation includes both annual and perennial grasses and weedy herbaceous plants, along with shrub and tree seedlings. The railroad industry maintains that this vegetational growth presents both a hindrance to required railway maintenance practices and a hazard to public and employee safety. For example, such vegetational growth may obstruct the visibility of railroad signs and signals; it may prevent railway workers from seeing damaged, broken or improperly adjusted track; and propagating root systems within the ballast may reduce drainage and increase moisture around the ties and other wooden structures, thus encouraging decay and reducing the useful life of the structures. In addition, plant 3-1 ' tissues growing near the rail may be immediately crushed between ' wheel and rail, with released water and plant sap acting as a lubricant to increase locomotive stopping distances. ' It should be noted that Federal law (49 C.F.R. Subsection 213 . 37) requires railroads to control vegetation along their rights-of-way: Vegetation on railroad property which is on or immediately adjacent to roadbed, must be controlled so that it does not: ' a) Become a fire hazard to track carrying structures; b) Obstruct visibility of railroad signs and signals; c) Interfere with railroad employees performing normal trackside duties; ' d) Prevent proper functioning of signal and communication lines; e) Prevent railroad employees from visually inspecting ' moving equipment from their normal duty stations. 3 . 1. 2 . Poison Ivy Around and Along Signal Boxes ' The construction of signal boxes is such that vegetation must 1 be either hand-cut or treated with herbicide in order to be eliminated. Since dermal contact with poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) can cause severe irritation, hand-cutting of this species is not recommended. Therefore, the railroad proposes to selectively treat poison ivy in these areas with manual applications of Arsenal. This application will comply with all sensitive area restrictions and set-backs as defined in the ' Rights-of-Way Management Regulations. 3 . 2 PROCEDURES FOR IDENTIFYING SENSITIVE AREAS 3 . 2 . 1 Definition of Sensitive Areas Sensitive areas have been defined in the Rights-of-Way Management Regulations (333 CMR 11. 00) as (but not limited to) areas: 3-2 a. within the primary recharge area of a public drinking ' water supply well; b. within four hundred (400) feet of any surface water used as a public water supply; ' c. within one hundred (100) feet of any appropriately marked private drinking water supply; d. within one hundred (100) feet or any standing or flowing water; e. within one hundred (100) feet of any wetland; and f. within one hundred (100) feet of any agricultural or vegetated area. Sensitive areas "not readily identifiable in the field" (viz. , areas a, b, d, and e, above) will be designated with ' permanent markers. The markers used will be large, color-coded posts (Curve-Reflex Posts) , approximately four feet in height, ' permanently installed to mark "no-spray" and "limited-spray" zones as defined in the regulations. These posts are readily identifiable from a distance and can withstand significant impacts. The markers will be inventoried as they are installed and ' their locations verified before every approved herbicide application. rNo herbicide application will occur within a municipality until permanent markers delineating its sensitive areas have been properly installed. 3 . 2 . 2 Identification and Location of Wells and Surface Water Supplies ' In the course of identifying and locating public wells, aquifer recharge areas and surface drinking water supplies, detailed maps prepared by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Quality Engineering, Division of Water Supply were iconsulted. These maps detail the specific locations of public wells and water supplies. ' In addition, local Conservation Commissions, Boards of Health 1 and Water Departments were contacted in an effort to obtain further detailed information with respect to both public and private water 1 supplies. 3-3 ' All of this information was used in order to identify restricted spray zones along the right-of-way in compliance with the Right-of-Way Management Regulations (333 CMR 11. 00) . These known restricted zones within each municipality are identified on the maps provided within Section 4 . 2 of this Yearly Operational Plan. 3 .2 . 3 Identification and Location of Wetlands Each portion of the right-of-way was visually inspected by a qualified wetland scientist or botanist in order to determine the location of wetlands and standing water in the vicinity of the tracks. The presence of wetlands and their locations were determined in conformance with the wetland vegetational criteria found within the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act (M.G. L. Chapter 131, Section 40) , its implementing regulations (310 CMR 10. 00) and Massachusetts DEQE policy. Standing water, not used as ' a public drinking water supply, was also located during these field inspections. ' Observed sensitive areas associated with wetlands and/or standing water were temporarily marked in the field at. the time of these inspections. The locations of these sensitive areas were then submitted in Requests for Determination of Applicability under the Wetlands Protection Act with each respective municipality for approval by the local Conservation Commission. These filings were submitted in compliance with Section 10. 05 (3) (a) (2) of the Wetlands Protection Act Regulations. Upon the issuance of a Determination of Applicability, permanent markers are installed to designate the approved boundaries of these sensitive areas. 3 . 2 . 4 Identification of Private Drinking Water Supplies ' As stated within Section 11. 04 (2) (c) of the regulations, any private drinking water supply located within one hundred (100) feet 3-4 of the right-of-way, in order to be protected, must be marked by the property owner by placing a sign of the edge of the 1 right-of-way perpendicular to the location of the private drinking water supply, as described in this section of the regulations. The location of the well is required to be reported to the municipal Board of Health or other appropriate official. This information ' will be incorporated into a Yearly Operational Plan as it is made available to the the railroad by either the municipality or the Department of Food and Agriculture Pesticide Board. 3 . 2 . 5 Identification of Habitated and Agricultural Areas The Rights-of-Way Management Regulations restricts herbicide application within one hundred (100) feet of an agricultural or habitated area to one application per calendar year. As defined within the regulations, habitated areas refer to, but are not limited to, residences, schools, hospitals, parks, and recreational ' facilities or other areas in which humans generally live, work or gather. Agricultural areas refer to, but are not limited to, actively cultivated gardens, greenhouses, orchards, fields, ' pastures, and other areas where herbicides might impact adversely on the vegetation under cultivation or agricultural management. ' These areas are considered to be "readily identifiable in the field" . In order to identify these areas and those marked with delineation markers, a pilot vehicle will proceed approximately 1/4 of a mile ahead of the applicator's vehicle in order to signal the location of these sensitive areas. Signaling will be done by means of radio communication or the use of a flashing cab light mounted ' on the pilot vehicle. ' 3 . 3 PROCEDURES FOR MIXING AND LOADING HERBICIDES ' The herbicide mix will be prepared from herbicide concentrate and water. This product will be contained and transported within approved apparatus mounted on the hi-rail truck. In compliance 3-5 ' with the regulations, the handling, mixing and/or loading of this material will not occur within 100 feet of any sensitive area. Wherever and whenever possible, the herbicide applicator will prepare the herbicide mix on non-porous surfaces, such as pavement or concrete. 1 3 . 4 SOURCES OF WATER AND SAFEGUARDS TO PREVENT CONTAMINATION ' Water used for herbicide mix will be obtained from hydrants and freshwater sources. During the herbicide mix preparation, strict adherence to the following safeguards will be maintained: ' 1) Water will be obtained using hoses equipped with anti-siphon devices to eliminate herbicide backflow. Hoses used to extract water from waterbodies will be equipped with two such devices: one will be located directly behind the mouth of the hose and another will be ' at the coupling which joins the hose to the mix tank. Hoses used to extract water from hydrant will utilize the ' same set-up as described above, except that a third anti-siphon device will used is found within the coupling joining the hose to the hydrant. ' 2) The herbicide concentrate will not be added to the tank until the water has been obtained and the applicator truck is at least 100 feet outside of a sensitive area. ' 3 . 5 DISPOSAL OF HERBICIDE WASTES Disposal of all herbicide wastes will be the responsibility of ' the licensed applicator. It is the applicator's responsibility to ensure that such disposal is carried out in an environmentally sensitive manner, in compliance with all Federal and state ' regulations and guidelines. ' 3-6 ' 4 .

Due to time and resource limitations , we have utilized a number of secondary reviews . When reviews were not available, or additional information was required , we contacted the registrants and requested summaries of the requisite studies . Exposure Assessments have been done when determined necessary for the most sen- sitive species likely to be impacted by the proposed herbicide use. This is an on-going review, and in an. effort to focus the activity for the coming season . we are subjecting this year' s review to a quality control assessment . The studies that are not specified "Confidential Business" or "priority" are available for public review, all other studies are filed at DFA. 1 Confidential Business Information as well as proprietary information are on file at DFA, but are not available for public review. ' For an indepth discussion of toxicology and environmental_ fate parameters , the reader is referred to the Control of Vegetation on Utility- and Railroad Rights-of-Way Generic Environmental Impact Report (1985) Reference 14 . In this 1 report the Potential for effects on public health and contamination of surface and ground water are addressed. A review of soil types found in Massachusetts can be found in Appendix I section 6. ' The reference list is a standard list and as such the references are not sequen- tial . 1 I 1 :�A2aP'�R ' -ommon Trade Name(s) : arsenal G = hemi:al N3me: Lm azapyr/ 1\- -- 2-(4-isopropyl -4-methyl -5-oxy-2- imidazolin-2-yl ) `. rnicotinic acid with isopropyl amine (2) CAS No. : 81510-83-0 ' UENERAL INFORMATION r Imazapyr is effective against and provides residual control of a wide variety of annual and perennial weeds, deciduous trees, vines and brambles in non-cropland situations . It also provides residual control and may be applied either pre- or ' postemergence. Postemergence is the preferred method especially for the control of perennial species . Imazapyr is readily absorbed by the foliage and from soil by the root systems . Imazapyr kills plants by inhibiting the produc- tion of an enzyme, required in the biosynthesis of certain amino acids, which is unique to plants 110, 100) . r ENVIRONMENTAL FATE Mobility r There are few studies which have investigated the mobility of Imazapyr in soil , but available reports indicate that Imazapyr does not leach and is strongly absorbed to soil ( 100) . Imazapyr has a high water solubility ( 1 - 1 .51.) which .could generally indicate a high leaching potential , but as with other. organic acids Imazapyr is much less mobile than would normally be expected ( 100) . No soil partition coefficients have been reported, but they may be expected to be r quite high ( 100) . One field study investigated Imazapyr mobility in a sandy loam soil (0.9% organic matter, 8.0% clay; 38.8% silt) . Imazapyr did not leach below the 18-21 inch layer after 634 days and 49.6 inches of rain. The levels found below the 12 inch layer were just above the 5 ppb detection limit. In addition, this study investigated the off-target mobility of Imazapyr and found no residues rfurther than 3 inches from the sprayed area after 1 year ( 102) . Although low levels of Imazapyr did move to the 18 to 21 inch layer this was ' only after nearly 2 years and fifty inches of rain. This indicates that ima- zapyr is relatively non-mobile and does not leach through the soil profile . Imazapyr remains near the soil surface and 'heavy preciptation may cause some off target movement from surface erosion of treated soils. ' Persistence ' The main route of Imazapyr degradation is photolysis . In a study of photodegra- dation in water, the half-life of Imazapyr was calculated as 3.7, 5.3 and 2. 5 days in distilled water, pH 5 and pH 9 buffers respectively ( 101 ) . A soil pho- tolysis study for Arsenal on sandy loam calculated a half-life of 149 days ( 101 ) . SL7dies have investigated the persistence of Imazapyr in soil under aerobic and anaerobic conditions . The half-life of Imazapyr in soil has been reported as varying from 3 months to 2 years ( 100) . A laboratory study found the half-life to be 17 months ( 101 ) . Detectable residues were. found in a field study in all 1 ' _uncrrdni c and Chronic Studies (varunalian) 1n the suhchronic tests a NOEL for systemic toxicity with dermal administration in rabbits was 400 mg/kq/d (2, 109) . After dietary administration for 13 weeks in the rat , there was no effect at 10,000 ppm (571 mg/kg/d) which was the highest dose tested ( 141 ) . A bioassay is currently underway to evaluate the potential oncogenicity of tech- nical imazapyr. Groups of 65 rats per sex per dose group have received 0, 1000, 5000 or 10,000 ppm in the diet. Hematology, clinical chemistry and urinalysis tests were conducted at 3, 6 and 12 months and will also be done at 18 months ,. and at study termination. At the 12 month sacrifice the only effect noted was a slight increase in mean food consumption in all treated female groups . Most of the increases were statistically significant, but they did not always exhibit a dose response. The oncogenicity test is due to be submitted to the EPA in the spring of 1989 ( 115) . ' Oncogenicity Studies Chronic bioassays as discussed in the subchronic/chronic section are underway. ' Mutagenicity Testing Five different bacterial strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA1535, TA98, TAlOO, TA1537, and TA1538) and one of Escherichia coli (WP-2 uvrA-) were used to eva- luate the mutagenicity of Imazapyr. It is unclear whether the compound used was technical or formulated Imazapyr. Dose levels up to 5000 micrograms/plate were used and each strain was evaluated both in the presence or absence of PCB-induced rat liver S-9 microsomes . Negative results were noted in all assays . The six tester strains were designed to detect either base-pair substi- tutions or frameshift mutations ( 113) . Developmental Studies (.Mammalian) Two teratology studies have been done and both of these studies evaluated tech- nical Imazapyr. One study used rats as the test species and the other utilized rabbits ( 111 , 112) . Pregnant rats received dosages of 0, 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg/d of Imazapyr during days 6- 15 of gestation . )here were 22 rats in the control group and 24 , 23 and 22 in the low, mid and high dose groups . All doses were administered orally by gavage . Salivation was noted only during the dosing period in 6 of the 22 females in the highest dose group ( 1000 mg/kg) . No other adverse obser- ' vations were noted in the treated dams ( 111 ) . Fetal body weight and crown-rump length data for the treated groups were com- parable to controls. Fetal development (external , skeletal and visceral ) "revealed no aberrant structural changes which appeared to be the result of the exposure to Imazapyr" ( 111 ) . The NOEL for maternal toxicity was 300 mg/kg and the NOEL for teratogenicity and fetoxicity was 1000 mg/kg ( 116). Four groups of 13 pregnant rabbits were exposed on days 6-13 of gestation to doses of 0, 25, 100, 400 mg/kg/d Imazapyr. There was no statistically sionifi - ' cant difference betreen control and treated groups at any dose ( 112) . soil layers to 21 inches at 634 days ( 102). Vegetation was sprayed with radio- labelled Imazapyr at a rate of 1 lb, a. i ./acre. The soil was a sandy loam (0.9% ' organic matter) which received 49.6 inches of rain during 634 days . The highest level of radioactivity (0.234 ppm Imazapyr) was found in the top 3 inches of soil at 231 days after application and there were detectable levels in the 9-12 inch layer. The concentrations in the top layer increased steadily from day 4 to 231 when they reached their maximum (0.234 ppm) and then declined. At day 634 the level in the top layer (0-3 inch) was 0.104 ppm ( 102) . These data indi- cate that Imazapyr is persistent in soil and, most importantly, that Imazapyr is ' translocated within plants from the plant shoots back to the roots and released back into soil . Very little of the Imazapyr actually reached the soil during- application . The soil residues may be due to the decay of plant material con- taining Imazapyr in the soil ( 102) . TOXICITY REVIEW ' Acute (Mammalian) The acute oral L050 in both male and female rats was greater than 5000 mg/kg using technical Imazapyr. The acute dermal L050 in male and female rabbits was greater than 2000 mg/kg. The compound was irritating to the rabbit eye but recovery was noted 7 days after application of 100 mg of the test substance. It ' was classified as mildly irritating to the rabbit skin following application of 0.. 5 grams of the material on abraded or intact skin ( 103) . ' Arsenal product formulation was tested in a similar battery of tests . The rat oral LDSO value was greater than 5000 mg/kg and the rabbit dermal LD50.-was greater than 2148 mg/kg. The irritation was observed following installation of 0.5 ml of the test substance in the skin study and 0. 1 ml in the eye study (104) . Technical Imazapyr was administered to rats as an aerosol for four hours at a concentration of 5 . 1 mg/L. There were ten rats per sex and the animals were observed for 14 days after treatment before they were sacrificed. Slight nasal discharge was seen in all rats on day one but disappeared on day two ( 105) . ' The inhalation LC50 is greater than 5.0 mg/L for both the formulation and the technical product ( 105, 106) . Technical Imazapyr was applied dermally at the following dosages : 0, 100, 200 ' and 400 mg/kg/day ( 109) . Arsenal was used at 0, 25, 50 and 100% of the for- mulated solution in sterile saline. Each dose group consisted of 10 male and 10 female rabbits and the test substance was applied to either intact or abraded ' skin and occluded for 6 hours each day. The result of the dermal studies with Imazapyr as well as Arsenal were non remarkable with regard to body weights, food consumption, hematology, serum chemistry, clinical observations, necropsy observations and histopathology. It was noted that Arsenal , undiluted, was locally irritating (109) . 1 ' Acute oral LO50s of I-azapyr in bobwhite quail and mallard duck were 2150 -ng,kg. 1 . e 3 gay dietary LC50 in the bobwhit.• quail and mallard duck were greater than 5000 ppm ( 10 i ) . 1 '.nvertebrates The dermal honey bee L050 for Imazapyr is greater than 100 mg/bee ( 101 ) . The ' LC50 (48 hr) was greater than 100 mg/L for the water flea ( 100) . Aquatic The LC50s of Imazapyr in the rainbow trout, bluegill sunfish and channel catfish were greater than LOG mg/L ( 101 ) . . SUMMARY Imazapyr is a relatively immobile herbicide in the soil profile even when used in sandy and low organic content soils . Itis also persistent in soils . The low mobility and persistence may result in off-target movement of Imazapyr from sur- face erosion of treated soils . The atypical soil -plant flux characteristics of Imazapyr and delayed maximum soil concentrations indicate that repeated annual applications may result in build-up of Imazapyr in soil . Consequently, an interval is required to allow for the degradation of soil residues before a repeated application is made . The oral LD50 of Imazapyr in rats is greater than 5000 mg/kg and the dermal LD50 is greater than 2000 mg/kg in rabbits . The oncogenicity bioassay is currently underway and the only effect reported in the interim study was an increase in food consumption in the treated females . No mutagenic effects were observed. The acute oral LD50s of Imazapyr and the Arsenal formulation are greater than 5000 mg/kg. In the subchronic 13 week rat study there was no effect observed at ' the highest dose tested 10,000 ppm. The oncogenicity study is currently under- way, RECOMMENDATION ' Therefore, Imazapyr is recommended for use, but with guidelines on its use because of the possibility of buildup from continued use. These guidelines are : ' 3 pints oer acre maximum and retreatment only in the third year or; 2 pints per acre maximum and alternate year treatment . ' This recommendation with restrictions reflects our judgement that Imazapyr dispersal in sensitive areas will be limited and that its toxicity charac- teristics are acceptable. Uncertainty over the carcinogenecity of Imazapyr is deemed to be outweighed by the limited chances of contact determined by short persistance times in water, and limited mobility. 2 , _ar _ ^_m c a'_Jandbook : 1985 on.9ri, �,:lyer ' s iuide to trade na:teS and equipment .

(ECS), of Agawam, Massachusetts, for the Boston and Maine Corporation (B&M) of North Billerica, Massachusetts. The contents of the YOP conform to the guidelines and methodologies set forth in a five (5) year Vegetative Management Plan (VMP), prepared for B&M by ECS. The VMP was prepared in accordance with 333 CMR 11.00 and was approved by the Massachusetts Department of Food and Agriculture (DFA) in July, 1992. The intent of the YOP is to provide specific information about selected herbicides, application methodology, location of treatment areas, alternative vegetation control procedures, identification of sensitive areas, and the parties responsible for carrying out or overseeing the ' vegetation management program. 1 ' Boston and Maine Corporation Pre & Post-Emergent 1993 Yearly Operational Plan May, 1993 ' 2.00 LOCATION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY AND SENSITIVE AREAS ' 2.10 - COMMUNI ws COyERED iN YOP The Boston and Maine Corporation has right-of-way (ROW) ownership within a total of ' 83 communities within Massachusetts. The following 81 communities are included in this YOP: ' Acton* Danvers Lunenberg Saugus Andover Deerfield Lynn Shelburne ' Ashburnham Easthampton Lynnfield Shirley Athol Erving Malden Somerville Ayer Everett Medford Springfield Belmont* Fitchburg Melrose* Sterling Bernardson Florida Methuen Stoneham* Billerica* Gardner Montague Swampscott* Boston Greenfield North Adams Templeton Boxborough* Groton North Andover* Tewksbury Buckland Havard Northampton Tyngsborough Cambridge Hatfield Northfield Wakefield Charlemont Haverhill* Orange Waltham Chelmsford Holyoke Peabody Watertown Chelsea* Lancaster Phillipston Wendell Chicopee Lawrence Reading West Boylston Clinton Leominster Revere Westford Concord* Lincoln* Rowe Westminster ' Conway Littleton Royalston Whately Lowell Salem Williamstown W inchendon ' Worcester *Herbicide application is not being conducted in 1993 in these communities. ' Rail yards in the following communities are scheduled for pre-emergent herbicide application: ' Athol Leominster Ayer Lowell Boston Lunenburg Cambridge North Adams ' Gardner Salem Holyoke Somerville Lawrence B&M ROWS within each of the above communities are shown on site locus diagrams in Appendix A. t 2 ' Boston and Maine Corporation Pre & Post-Emergent 1993 Yearly Operational Plan May, 1993 ' 2.20 - SENSITIVE AREA LOCATION MAPS Locations of environmentally sensitive areas are shown on B&M right-of-way maps, which have been provided to the Department of Food and Agriculture, the Massachusetts ' Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the Conservation Commission of each of the affected communities. These sensitive area right-of-way maps are available for public review ' at each of the town/city offices, the respective DEP regional headquarters, or at the DFA ' headquarters which is located at 100 Cambridge Street in Boston, Massachusetts. 3 Boston and Maine Corporation Pre & Post-Emergent 1993 Yearly Operational Pian May, 1993 ' 3.00 HERBICIDE APPLICATION ' 3.10 - SELECTED HERBICIDES 1 The proposed herbicide mixture for use along the B&M right-of-way during the 1993 vegetation management schedule will be a combination of Arsenal and Roundup. Arsenal is a registered trade name and is manufactured by The American Cyanamid Company, of Wayne, ' New Jersey. The active ingredient in Arsenal is the isopropylamine salt of Imazapyr. Roundup is a registered trade name and is manufactured by Monsanto Company of Saint Louis, Missouri. The active ingredient of Roundup is Glyphosate, in the form of its isopropylamine salt. Material Safety Data Sheet and Herbicide Fact Sheets prepared by the DFA for Arsenal ' and Roundup are provided in Appendix C. Both herbicides are recommended by the DFA for use in environmentally sensitive areas. 3.20 - APPLICATION RATES, CARRIERS, AND ADR1yANTS The herbicide mixture shall be applied to the sections of the roadbed (track and ballast portion of the right-of-way) depicted in Figure 1, at a rate of 1 quart Arsenal, 3 quarts Roundup ' and 30 gallons of water per acre. The herbicide mixture shall be applied using low pressure ' application directly to the roadbed. Sample labels for Arsenal and Roundup, which provide instructions for proper use and safe handling of the two (2) herbicides, are included in Appendix ' D. MORE, a polyacrylamide deposition aid and anti-drift additive will be added to reduce the mobility of the herbicides once they are applied. MORE is a registered trade name and is 4 ' Boston and Maine Corporation Pre & Post-Emergent ' 1993 Yearly Operational Plan May, 1993 manufactured by the EXACTO Chemical Company, of McHenry, Illinois. A sample label is included in Appendix D. 3.30 - BAsis FOR HERBICIDE SELECTION Arsenal and Roundup were chosen for use along the B&M right-of-way due to their non- selective characteristics and recommendation by the DFA for use within sensitive areas. DFA trecommendations are based upon toxicological and mobility studies which demonstrated, that if both herbicides are applied in accordance with manufacturers instructions, they are relatively immobile upon application. ' 3.40 - HERBICIDE AFPLiCATTON TECFINIUUES Herbicide application along the B&M right-of-way shall be limited to the ballast area of the roadbed (see Figure 1), using low pressure foliar application. This method is suitable for application within the buffer zone (restricted application zone) of sensitive areas defined in 333 CMR 11.00, as well as in non-sensitive areas. It is also the accepted method of application within aquifer protection zones (Zone II), with the condition that herbicides be applied no more than once every 24 months. A by-rail truck fitted with spray booms shall be utilized to apply herbicide along the ' ROW and B&M rail yards. The booms are equipped with spray nozzles and controls to allow ' for treatment of the entire roadbed, or to selectively treat individual sections of the ballast and ' ballast shoulders. The spray nozzles operate under a low pressure of 30 to 40 psi. Figure 1 depicts the individual spray patterns (A, B, and C) used by B&M. ' 5 ' Boston and Maine Corporation Pre & Post-Emergent ' 2993 Yearly Operational Plan May, 1993 Herbicides shall be applied to the roadbed in targeted areas, as allowed by 333 CMR 11.00 of DFA Regulations. Targeted areas are those areas which were observed to contain ' vegetative growth within the roadbed. Railroad yards include areas where freight cars are transferred, cargo is loaded or unloaded, and where routine maintenance of cars and locomotives is performed. They normally ' include numerous tracks, open areas, and associated buildings. The majority of pre-emergent ' herbicide application within the yard shall be conducted from a spray truck. Hand-held or back- pack mounted spray canisters shall be used for application around buildings and areas not accessible by vehicle. 3.50 - HERBiCIDE APPLiCATTON SCREDULE The pre and post-emergent vegetation management program will be performed in two phases. Phase I shall consist of an initial application of the selected herbicides to the roadbed ' and is scheduled for June of 1993. Phase II of the program shall include a touch-up application of Roundup herbicide to areas which still exhibit vegetative growth after the initial application. Touch-up applications shall comply with 333 CMR 11.03 (8) (a) - (d) of the Pesticide Board Regulations which clearly state conditions for conducting an additional application. Phase II application is scheduled to occur between mid July and mid-August 1993. Specific spray dates for each phase will be announced to each municipality, in writing, at least 21 days in advance ' of the intended herbicide application date. Taking into consideration the potential for inclement weather conditions, selected time periods will provide the applicator with ample time to complete ' the task. No herbicides shall be applied on days when precipitation is forecasted or when wind t 6 Boston and Maine Corporation Pre & Post-Emergent 1993 Yearly Operational Plan May, 1993 ' conditions are severe enough to result in drift of the spray beyond the intended target areas. The decision to spray is the responsibility of the licensed applicator. ' 3.60 - ALTERNATIVE VEGETATION CONTROL PROCEDURES Mechanical means of vegetation control will be utilized whenever possible in areas ' adjacent to the roadbed, and in sensitive areas where application of herbicides is forbidden by ' state and/or federal law. Mechanical means of vegetation control will be limited to woody and brush species which interfere with railroad operations within the right-of-way. The preferred method of mechanical vegetation control utilizes a brush hog that is ' mounted on a by-rail vehicle. A brush hog consists of specialized cutting heads mounted on a ' hydraulic arm, which is capable of pruning high branches and limbs that obstruct communication wires, signals, and the site lines of railroad personnel. Chain saws and other hand tools (i.e. weed whackers) may be used when the use of the brush hog is not practical. ' Mechanical means of vegetation control are not feasible within the ballast area of the roadbed. Therefore, vegetation control of the roadbed sections located in no spray zones shall ' be limited to indirect methods such as replacement of trap rock, rails, ties or manual removal of vegetation. 7 1 Boston and Maine Corporation Pre & Post-Emergent 1993 Yearly Operational Plan May, 1993 3.70 - LICENSED APPLICATOR B&M has contracted with Railroad Weed Control, Inc. (RWC) of Westfield, 1 Massachusetts, to carry out their 1993 Vegetation Management Plan. The name and address of the RWC representative in charge of herbicide applications is as follows: Mr. John Roy Railroad Weed Control, Inc. Lockhouse Road, Turnpike Industrial Park P.O. Box 876 ' Westfield, Massachusetts 01085 Telephone: (413) 562-5681 ' 3.80 - BOSTON AND MAINE REPRESENTATIVE ' The following person representing B&M will be in charge of supervising vegetation control along the B&M ROW: Mr. Jeffrey Rose, Environmental Coordinator Boston and Maine Corporation RR I - Box 254 East Deerfield, MA 01342 Telephone (413) 774-6166 1 i 1 8 Boston and Maine Corporation Pre & Post-Emergent 1993 Yearly Operational Plan May, 1993 ' 4.00 TARGET VEGETATION ' Vegetation targeted for herbicide application includes all species present within the ballast and shoulders of the roadbed, and within a 10 foot radius of signals, signal boxes, switches, barriers, and sign posts. Vegetation around building foundations within rail yards shall also be non-selectively targeted using methods outlined in Section 3.40. This excludes areas within ' designated no-spray zones. See Section 3.60. Additionally, vegetation around buildings and ' work areas within the rail yards will be selectively targeted for herbicide application. A list of nuisance vegetation is presented in ' Table 1. 9 Boston and Maine Corporation Pre & Post-Emergent 1993 Yearly Operational Plan May, 1993 ' 5.00 SENSITIVE AREAS 5.10 - AREAS of CONCERN Sensitive areas pursuant to 333 CMR 11.00 include the following: ' a. Wetlands b. Watercourses c. Standing water bodies ' d. Public drinking water supplies e. Private drinking water supplies f. Aquifer recharge protection zones (Zones I and II). g. Agricultural areas h. Inhabited areas ' Sensitive areas a through c above were identified in the field and railroad ties were ' marked with the appropriate colors to delineate their limits and the limits of the no spray zones. See Section 5.3. Zone II aquifer recharge protection areas for public water supply wells were identified from Aquifer Protection Maps when available from local communities and/or the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). If maps were unavailable, the area within a one-half(1/2) mile radius of a municipal well was considered regulated as per 310 CMR 11.02. ' Agricultural and inhabited areas are identified in the field by the applicator and spotter vehicle as spraying occurs. 10 r Boston and Maine Corporation Pre & Post-Emergent 1993 Yearly Operational Plan May, 1993 ' 5.20 - SENSITIVE AREA DELiNEATTUN 5.21 - Wetlands. Watercourses. and Waterbodies ' Wetlands, watercourses, and standing waterbodies bordering within 100 feet of the B&M ' right-of-way were located in the field by ECS personnel in the summer and fall of 1992. Wetland boundaries were delineated as per 310 CMR 10.55 (2) (c) of the Massachusetts tWetlands Protection Act which states " The boundary of bordering vegetated wetlands is the line ' within which 50 percent or more of the vegetation community consists of the wetland plant species identified in the act.". Ten (10) foot "no-spray" zones and 100 foot "restricted " spray zones were appropriately marked along the roadbed. A Request for Determination of tApplicability was filed with the Conservation Commissions of each affected community. At that 1 time the wetland boundaries were reviewed by each Commission. A negative Determination of Applicability was issued by each municipality approving the wetland boundaries as submitted. ' This document acknowledges that the proposed vegetation management program, if performed ' in accordance with 333 CMR 11:00, is not subject to restrictions set forth in the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act, 310 CMR 10.00. 5.22 - Public Water Supplies ' Public water supplies were identified from Water Supply Protection Atlas overlays available at the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, Regional Offices, and ' information available from municipal offices. Public water supply locations are shown on the ' site locus plan (Appendix A) for each affected community. Public water supplies were located in the field, and appropriate no-spray and buffer zone setbacks were marked. The marking 11 Boston and Maine Corporation Pre & Post-Emergent ' 1993 Yearly Operational Plan May, 1993 system utilized by B&M will be discussed in detail in Section 5.30. and is depicted in Figures 2, 3, 4, and 5. ' 5.23 - Private Drinking Water Supplies ' Department of Food and Agriculture Regulation 333 CMR 11.04(2)(c) prohibits the application of herbicides within 50 feet of a private water supply. Additionally, no herbicide shall be applied between 50 and 100 feet of any private drinking water supply ex6ept using low ' pressure foliar or stem applications and a minimum of 24 months between applications. As per 333 CMR 11.04 (2)(c) 3 of the regulations, the applicant must consult with the DFA regarding the locations of private wells within 100 ft. of the spray areas. Any private well locations which ' are on file with the DFA and within 100 feet of the B&M roadbed, are marked in the field, and depicted on the locus maps in Appendix A. Records concerning private well locations are tcontinually updated with the DFA. ' $.30 -.SENSITIVE AREAS MARKING SYSTEM A color coded marking system was implemented in the field to allow herbicide applicators to identify the locations of sensitive areas adjacent to the roadbed. Railroad ties and ' rails were painted according to the following color scheme: Yellow - Limits of No Spray Zone. Represents a point on the railroad tracks that is a ' minimum of 10 feet away from an area subject to protection under MWPA 310 CMR 10.02 (1) (a)-(e) (bordering vegetated wetlands, streams, ponds, etc.), a minimum of 400 ft from public groundwater supplies or 100 ft from surface water supplies. Blue - Limits of Buffer Zone and Restricted Spray Zone. Represents a 100 foot buffer zone from a resource area or a no spray (yellow) marker. Blue may also ' represent a point 400 feet from a public surface water supply. In restricted spray zones, only DFA recommended herbicides can be applied selectively by low pressure (G 60 psi) foliar or stem application. 12 Boston and Maine Corporation Pre & Post-Emergent ' 1993 Yearly Operational Plan May, 1993 White - Sensitive area warning marker. This color indicates that the applicator is either entering or leaving a restricted spray zone. White markers are always adjacent to a blue tie. See Figures 2 and 4 for further explanation. Aquifer recharge protection Zone I and Zone II for public water supply wells were ' identified from records and maps on file with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Water Supply Protection, and from available municipal aquifer protection 1 zone maps. Zone II aquifer recharge protection areas were marked in the field using red-painted ' rail ties, as shown in Figure 5. 13 Boston and Maine Corporation Pre & Post-Emergent ' 1993 Yearly Operational Plan May, 1993 6.00 HERBICIDE HANDLING AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES ' 6.10 - HANDLING. MIXING, AND LOADING HERBICIDE CONCENTRATES The herbicide applicator shall not handle, mix, or load herbicide concentrate within 100 ' feet of any sensitive area. Water for the mixing of herbicides may be obtained, in accordance with local ordinances, from ponds, lakes or streams. Pursuant to 333 CMR 10.03 15 - 17, tanks ' and hoses shall be equipped with DEP approved anti-syphon devices. The purpose of these ' devices is to prevent backflow of any herbicides into the water source. Hoses and pumps used for filling the dispensing tank with water shall not be employed for any other purpose. ' Herbicide concentrate shall only be added to the dispensing tank after the tank is filled with ' water. No cleaning of tanks, nozzles, hoses, or other equipment shall be performed within 100 feet of a sensitive area. Waste rinse water or excess herbicide mixture shall be disposed of at an approved waste disposal facility. ' Mixing and use of herbicide shall be consistent with the labeling instructions included on the container label. See Appendix D for sample labels of Arsenal and Roundup. The herbicide ' application crew shall wear protective clothing and personal safety equipment when mixing, handling, loading or applying herbicide. Protective clothing shall consist of work coveralls, gloves and boots. It is recommended that latex or nitrile rubber gloves and eye goggles be worn ' during the mixing of the herbicide concentrate to avoid possible eye and skin irritation. The licensed applicator is responsible for the selection and use of proper protective gear. 14 ' Boston and Maine Corporation Pre & Post-Emergent ' 1993 Yearly Operational Plan May, 1993 ' 6.20 - EMERGENCY/CONTINGENCY MEASURES The herbicide applicator/contractor is knowledgeable in the containment, cleanup, and reporting of any herbicide spills or related accidents. Herbicide application crews must always ' possess the following materials: broom, shovel, heavy duty plastic bags, absorbent clay, activated charcoal, a suction system capable of picking up liquids, Material Safety Data Sheet(s), ' and a list of emergency contact persons and telephone numbers. In the event of a spill, the applicator(s) must contain the release. Soil berms shall be used whenever possible to contain the release. Absorbent materials and/or the suction hose will be utilized to pick up the released 1 materials. Although containment of the release will be the major priority of the application ' crew, notification of the release to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, ' Emergency Response Group, is required within two (2) hours of occurrence. Railroad Weed Control (RWC) has developed emergency response procedures which must be followed by the application crew in the event of a release or related emergency. Upon notification of a release to RWC headquarters by the application crew, emergency contacts will be made by RWC headquarters. RWC will also respond with any additional equipment and ' personnel necessary to contain and clean up the spill. RWC emergency procedure guidelines ' are included as Appendix E.

' HEALTH EFFECTS SUMMARY rr The following information presents both human experience and the results of scientific experiments used by qualified experts to assess the effects of Roundup herbicide on the health of exposed individuals and to r support the Precautionary Statements and Occupational Control Procedures recommended in this U document. To avoid misunderstanding, the data provided in this section should be interpreted by individuals ' trained in evaluation of this type of information. rr rr Human Experience t Dermal contact and inhalation are expected to be the primary routes of occupational exposure to Roundup C herbicide. Direct contact with this material may cause temporary eye irritation and conjunctivitis. Prolonged contact with Roundup herbicide may cause dermal irritation. Ingestion of Roundup herbicide has been ' reported to produce gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Toxicological Data ' Data from Monsanto studies indicate the following: Oral LDSo (Rat): 5,400 mg/kg, Practically Nontoxic Dermal LD50 (Rabbit): >5,000 mg/kg, Practically Nontoxic ' Eye Irritation (Rabbit, 24-hr): (FHSA) Score = 4.1 on a scale of 110.0, Slightly Irritating Skin Irritation (Rabbit, 24-hr): (FHSA) Score = 4.3 on a scale of 8.0, Moderately Irritating DOT Skin Irritation (Rabbit, 4-hr): Not Corrosive Inhalation LC50 (Rat, 4-hr): 3.18 mg/I (analytical concentration), Slightly Toxic Patch testing of 50 human volunteers with Roundup herbicide at use concentration and 5X use concentration produced no positive reactions following initial application, any of 15 repeated applications in the induction phase, or on subsequent challenge 2 weeks later. Roundup herbicide is not considered a primary irritant or a sensitizing agent. Patch testing of guinea pigs with Roundup herbicide produced essentially no irritation following initial application; mild to moderate erythema (redness), edema (swelling) and/or mild necrosis (tissue damage) were observed in some animals during subsequent repeated exposures in the induction phase. On ' challenge, no dermal response.was observed in any of the animals. Roundup herbicide is not considered a dermal sensitizing agent in guinea pigs. (Health Effects Summary Continued On Next Page) IVIUIISdI Ily Page 4 of 5 ' HEALTH EFFECTS SUMMARY (Continued) Single male and female dogs were orally administered Roundup herbicide or a 2 percent aqueous solution of Roundup herbicide at dosages ranging from 0.3125 to 5.0 mVkg. No mortality and no inhibition of plasma acetylcholinesterase activity were reported. The most common effects observed were vomiting and diarrhea, which occurred shortly after dosing. ' A series of 21-day dermal toxicity studies have been conducted in which Roundup herbicide was applied to the skin of male rabbits 6 hours per day, 5 days per week at various concentrations. At 5 times the intended use concentration, severe dermal irritation and systemic toxicity (mortality, reduced food consumption, body weight loss, and testicular effects) were observed. Rabbits treated with 3 times the intended use concentration and below, or only with the active ingredient glyphosate, exhibited only slight to moderate local irritation and had no signs of systemic effects. When the surfactant in Roundup formulation was tested, marked irritation and systemic effects were observed which were similar to those seen with the higher concentration of Roundup. Effects observed in these studies are considered to be a secondary response to the stress of severe dermal irritation, to which rabbits are particularly sensitive, rather than the result of direct systemic toxicity. Rats were exposed by inhalation to aerosol concentrations of 0.05, 0.16 and 0.36 mg of a 33.3% Roundup solution per liter air 6 hours/day, 5 days/week for a total of 22 exposures over a 4 week period. Minor nasal ' irritation was observed in female animals. No adverse hematologic, biochemical or systemic histopathologic effects were noted. The systemic no-effect level was considered to be 0.36 mg of a 33.3% Roundup ' solution per liter of air. Following a 24-hr topical application of Roundup herbicide to the abdomen of rhesus monkeys, ' approximately 1.8 percent of the administered dose of the active ingredient (glyphosate) was systemically absorbed. Excretion in the urine was the major route of elimination following systemic absorption.

' IMAZAPYR Common Trade Name(s) : Arsenal Chemical Name: Imazapyr/ 2-(4-isopropyl-4-methyl-5-oxy-2-imidazolin-2-yl ) ' nicotinic acid with isopropyl amine (2) CAS No. : 81510-83-0 ' GENERAL INFORMATION ' Imazapyr is effective against and provides residual control of a wide variety of annual and perennial weeds, deciduous trees, vines and brambles in non-cropland situations. It also provides residual control and may be applied either pre- or ' postemergence. Postemergence is the preferred method especially for the control of perennial species. Imazapyr is readily absorbed by the foliage and from soil by the root systems. Imazapyr kills plants by inhibiting the produc- tion of an enzyme, required in the biosynthesis of certain amino acids, which is ' unique to plants (10, 100). ENVIRONMENTAL FATE ' Mobility There are fedi studies which have investigated the mobility of Imazapyr in soil , but available reports indicate that Imazapyr does not leach and is strongly absorbed to soil (100). Imazapyr has a high water solubility (1 - 1 .5%) which could generally indicate a high leaching potential , but as with other organic ' acids Imazapyr is much less mobile than would normally be expected (100). No soil partition coefficients have been reported, but they may be expected to be quite high (100) . One field study investigated Imazapyr mobility in a sandy loam soil (0.9% organic matter, 8.0% clay; 38.8% silt) . Imazapyr did not leach below the 18-21 inch laver after 634 .days and 49.6 inches of rain. The levels found below the ' 12 inch layer were just above the 5 ppb detection limit. In addition, this study investigated the off-target mobility of Imazapyr and found no residues further than 3 inches from the sprayed area after 1 year (102). ' Although low levels of Imazapyr did move to the 18 to 21 inch layer this was only after nearly 2 years and fifty inches of rain. This indicates that ima- zapyr is relatively non-mobile and does not leach through the soil profile. ' Imazapyr remains near the soil surface and heavy preciptation may cause some off target movement from surface erosion of treated soils. PUBLICATION ¢16,077-5-75-10-89-C.R. APPROVED BY: RIC MURPHY, PURCFASING AGETT ' Persistence ' The main route of Imazapyr degradation is photolysis In a study of photodegra- dation in water, the half-life of Imazapyr was calculated as 3.7, 5.3 and 2.5 days in distilled water, pH 5 and pH 9 buffers respectively (101) . A soil pho- tolysis study for Arsenal on sandy loam calculated a half-life of 149 days (101) . ' Studies have investigated the persistence of Imazapyr in soil under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. The half-life of Imazapyr in soil has been reported as varying from 3 months to 2 years (100). A laboratory study found the half-life to be 17 months (101 ) . Detectable residues were found in a field study in all ' soil layers to 21 inches at 634 days (102) . Vegetation was sprayed with radio- labelled Imazapyr at a rate of 1 lb. a.i ./acre. The soil was a sandy loam (0.9% organic matter) which received 49.6 inches of rain during 634 days. The highest level of radioactivity (0.234 ppm Imazapyr) was found in the top 3 inches of soil at 231 days after application and there were detectable levels in the 9-12 inch layer. The concentrations in the top layer increased steadily from day 4 to 231 when they reached their maximum (0.234 ppm) and then declined. At day 634 the level in the top layer (0-3 inch) was 0.104 ppm (102). These data indi- cate that Imazapyr is persistent in soil and, most importantly, that Imazapyr is translocated within plants from the plant shoots back to the roots and released ' back into soil . Very little of the Imazapyr actually reached the soil during application. The soil residues may be due to the decay of plant material con- taining Imazapyr in the soil (102). ' TOXICITY REVIEW Acute (Mammalian) ' The acute oral L050 in both male and female rats was greater than 5000 mg/kg using technical Imazapyr. The acute dermal LD50 in male and female rabbits was ' greater than 2000 mg/kg. The compound was irritating to the rabbit eye but recovery was noted 7 days after application of 100 mg of the test substance. It was classified as mildly irritating to the rabbit skin following application of 0.5 grams of the material on abraded or intact skin (103). ' Arsenal product formulation was tested in a similar battery of tests. The rat oral LD50 value was greater than 5000 mg/kg and the rabbit dermal LD50 was ' greater than 2148 mg/kg. The irritation was observed following installation of 0.5 ml of the test substance in the skin study and 0.1 ml in the eye study (104) . Technical Imazapyr was administered to rats as an aerosol for four hours at a ' concentration of 5.1 mg/L. There were ten rats per sex and the animals were observed for 14 days after treatment before they were sacrificed. Slight nasal discharge was seen in all rats on day one but disappeared on day two (105) . iThe inhalation LC50 is greater than 5.0 mg/L for both the formulation and the technical product (105,106) . 1 1 Technical Imazapyr was applied dermally at the following dosages: 0, 100, 200 ' and 400 mg/kg/day (109) . Arsenal was used at 0, 25, 50 and 100% of the for- mulated solution in sterile saline. Each dose group consisted of 10 male and 10 female rabbits and the test substance was applied to either intact or abraded skin and occluded for 6 hours each day. The result of the dermal studies with Imazapyr as well as Arsenal were non remarkable with regard to body weights, food consumption, hematology, serum ' chemistry, clinical observations, necropsy observations and histopathology. It was noted that Arsenal , undiluted, was locally irritating (109). Subchronic and Chronic Studies (Mammalian) In the subchronic tests a NOEL for systemic toxicity with dermal administration in rabbits was 400 mg/kg/d (2,109). After dietary administration for 13 weeks ' in the rat, there was no effect at 10,000 ppm (571 mg/kg/d) which was the highest dose tested (141) . ' A bioassay is currently underway to evaluate the potential oncogenicity of tech- nical Imazapyr. Groups of 65 rats per sex per dose group have received 0, 1000, 5000 or 10,000 ppm in the diet. Hematology, clinical chemistry and urinalysis tests were conducted at 3, 6 and 12 months and will also be done at 18 months ' and at study termination. At the 12 month sacrifice the only effect noted was a slight increase in mean food consumption in all treated female groups. Most of the increases were statistically significant, but they did not always exhibit ' a dose response. The oncogenicity test is due to be submitted to the EPA in the spring of 1989 (115) . Oncogenicity Studies Chronic bioassays as discussed in the subchronic/chronic section are underway. ' Mutagenicity Testing Five different bacterial strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA1535, TA98, WOO, ' TA1537, and TA1538) and one of Escherichia coli (WP-2 uvrA-) were used to eva- luate the mutagenicity of Imazapyr. It is unclear whether the compound used was technical or formulated Imazapyr. Dose levels up to 5000 micrograms/plate were used and each strain was evaluated both in the presence or absence of ' PCB-induced rat liver S-9 microsomes. Negative results were noted in all assays. The six tester strains were designed to detect either base-pair substi- tutions or frameshift mutations (113) . Developmental Studies (Mammalian) Two teratology studies have been done and both of these studies evaluated tech- nical Imazapyr. One study used rats as the test species and the other utilized rabbits (111 ,112). ' Pregnant rats received dosages of 0, 100, 300 or 1000 mg/kg/d of Imazapyr during days 6-15 of gestation. There were 22 rats in the control group and 24, 23 and 22 in the low, mid and high dose groups. All doses were administered ' orally by gavage. Salivation was noted only during the dosing period in 6 of the 22 females in the highest dose group (1000 mg/kg). No other adverse obser- vations were noted in the treated dams (111 ). ' Fetal body weight and crown-rump length data for the treated groups were com- parable to controls. Fetal development (external , skeletal and visceral ) "revealed no aberrant structural changes which appeared to be the result of the exposure to Imazapyr" (111) . The NOEL for maternal toxicity. was 300 mg/kg and ' the NOEL for teratogenicity and fetoxicity was 1000 mg/kg (116). Four groups of 18 pregnant rabbits were exposed on days 6-18 of gestation to doses of 0, 25, 100, 400 mg/kg/d Imazapyr. There was no statistically signifi- cant difference between control and treated groups at any dose (112) . Avian Acute oral LD50s of Imazapyr in bobwhite quail and mallard duck were 2150 mg/kg. The 8 day dietary LC50 in the bobwhite quail and mallard duck were greater than 5000 ppm (101) . Invertebrates ' The dermal honey bee LD50 for Imazapyr is greater than 100 mg/bee (101 ) . The LC50 (48 hr) was greater than 100 mg/L for the water flea (100). ' Aquatic The LC50s of Imazapyr in the rainbow trout, bluegill sunfish and channel catfish twere greater than 100 mg/L (101) . SUMMARY Imazapyr is a relatively immobile herbicide in the soil profile even when used in sandy and low organic content soils. It is also persistent in soils. The low mobility and persistence may result in off-target movement of Imazapyr from sur- face erosion of treated soils. The atypical soil-plant flux characteristics of Imazapyr and delayed maximum soil concentrations indicate that repeated annual applications may result in build-up of Imazapyr in soil . Consequently, an interval is required to allow for the degradation of soil residues before a repeated application is made. The oral LD50 of Imazapyr in rats is greater than 5000 mg/kg and the dermal LD50 is greater than 2000 mg/kg in rabbits. The oncogenicity bioassay is currently underway and the only effect reported in the interim study was an increase in ' food consumption in the treated females. No mutagenic effects. were observed. The acute oral LD50s of Imazapyr and the Arsenal formulation are greater than 5000 mg/kg. In the subchronic 13 week rat study there was no effect observed at ' the highest dose tested 10,000 ppm. The oncogenicity study is currently under- way. REFERENCES 2. Farm Chemicals Handbook: 1985 ' Dictionary, buyer' s guide to trade names and equipment. Pub. by Meister Pub. Co. 100.

GLYPHOSATE ' Common Trade Name(s): Roundup, Rodeo, Accord Chemical Name: N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine-isopropylamine salt ' CAS No. : 1071-83-6 GENERAL INFORMATION Glyphosate, n-phosphonomethyl glycine is a systemic, broad spectrum herbicide effective against most plant species, including deeprooted perenial species, annual and biennial species of grasses, sedges, and broadleafed weeds. The major pathway for uptake in plants is through the foliage, however, some root uptake may occur. The presence of surfactants and humidity increases the rate ' of absorption of glyphosate by plants (15). Foliarly applied glyphosate is readily absorbed and translocated from treated areas to untreated shoot regions. The mechanism of herbicidal action for glyphosate is believed to be inhibition of amino acid biosynthesis resulting in a reduction of protein synthesis and inhibition of growth (10, 15, 101). Glyphosate is generally formulated as the isopropylamine salt in aqueous solu- tion (122). Of the three products containing glyphosate considered here, Roundup is sold with a surfactant and Rodeo and Accord are mixed with surfac- tants prior to use (15). Glyphosate has been reviewed by US Forest Service (15), FAO (122), and EPA ODW (51). ' ENVIRONMENTAL FATE Mobility ' Glyphosate is relatively immobile in most soil environments as •a result of its strong adsorption to soil particles. Adsorption to soil particles and organic matter begins almost immediately after application. Binding occurs with par- ticular rapidity to clays and organic matter (15) . Clays and organic matter saturated with iron and aluminum (such as in the Northeast) tend to absorb more glyphosate than those saturated with sodium or calcium. The soil phosphate level is the main determinant of the amount of glyphosate adsorbed to soil par- ticles. Soils which are low in phosphates will adsorb higher levels of glypho- sate (14, 15). Glyphosate is classified as immobile by the Helling and Turner classification system. In soil column leaching studies using aged (1 month) glyphosate, leaching of glyphosate was said to be insignificant after 0.5 inches of water per day for 45 days (14). ' PUBLICATION #16,076-6-75-10-89-C.R. APPROVED BY: RIC MURPFY, PURCHASING AGENT Persistence ' It has been reported that glyphosate dissipates relatively rapidly when applied to most soils (14). However, studies indicate that the soil half-life is variable and dependent upon soil factors. The half-life of glyphosate in greenhouse studies when applied to silty clay loam, silt loam, and sandy loam at rates of 4 and 8 ppm was 3, 27 and 130 days respectively, independent of appli- cation rate (14). An average half-life of 2 months has been reported in field studies for 11 soils (15). Glyphosate is mainly degraded biologically by soil micro-organisms and has a ' minimal effect on soil microflora (15). In the soil environment, glyphosate is resistant to chemical degradation such as hydrolysis and is stable to sunlight (15). The primary metabolite of glyphosate is aminomethyl phosphonic acid (AMPA) which has a slower degradation rate than glyphosate (15) . The per- sistence of AMPA is reported to be longer than glyphosate, possibly due to tighter binding to soil (14). No data are available on the toxicity of this compound. Glyphosate degradation by microorganisms has been widely tested in a variety of field and laboratory studies. Soil characteristics used in these studies have included organic contents, soil types and pHs similar to those that occur in ' Massachusetts (117). Glyphosate degradation rates vary considerably across a wide variety of soil types. The rate of degradation is correlated with microbial activity of the ' soils and does not appear to be largely dependent on soil pH or organic content (117.). While degradation rates are likely temperature dependent, most reviews of studies do not report or discuss the dependence of degradation rate on tem- perature. Mueller et al . (1981 cited in 117) noted that glyphosate degraded in Finnish agricultural soils (loam and fine silt soils) over the winter months; a fact which indicates that degradation would likely take place in similar soils in the cool Massachusetts climate. Glyphosate half-lives for laboratory experi- ments on sandy loam and loamy sand, which are common in Massachusetts, range up to 175 days (117). The generalizations noted for the body of available results are sufficiently robust to incorporate conditions and results applicable to glyphosate use in Massachusetts. TOXICITY REVIEW ' Acute (Mammalian) ' Glyphosate has reported oral LD50s of 4,320 and 5,600 mg/kg in rule and female rats (15,4). The oral LD50s of the two major glyphosate products Rodeo and Roundup are 5,000 and 5,400 mg/kg in the rat (15). ' A dermal LD50 of 7,940 mg/kg has been determined in rabbits (15,4). There are reports of mild dermal irritation in rabbits (6), moderate eye irritation in rabbits (7), and possible phototoxicity in humans (9) . The product involved in the phototoxicity study was Tumbleweed marketed by Murphys Limited UK (9) . Maibach ( 1986) investigated the irritant and the photo irritant responses in individuals exposed to Roundup (41% glyphosate, water, and surfactant); Pinesol ' liquid, Johnson Baby Shampoo, and Ivory Liquid dishwashing detergent. The conclusion drawn was that glyposate has less irritant potential than the Pinesol or the Ivory dishwashing liquid (120). 1 r Metabolism ' Elimination of glyphosate is rapid and very little of the material is metabo- lized (6,106). ' Subchronic/Chronic Studies (Mammalian) In subchronic tests, glyphosate was administered in the diet to dogs and rats at ' 200, 600, and 2,000 ppm for 90 days. A variety of toxicological endpoints were evaluated with no significant abnormalities reported (15,10). ' In other subchronic tests, rats received 0, 1,000, 5,000, or 20,000 ppm (57, 286, 1143 mg/kg) in the diet for 3 months. The no observable adverse effect level (NOAEL) was 20,000 ppm (1,143 mg/kg) (115). In the one year oral dog study, dogs received 20, 100, and 500 mg/kg/day. The no observable effect level ' (NOEL) was 500 mg/kg (116) . Oncogenicity Studies ' Several chronic carcinogenicity studies have been reported for glyphosate including an 18 month, mouse study; and two year rat study. In the rat study, the animals received 0, 30, 100 or 300 ppm in diet for 2 years. EPA has deter- mined that the doses in the rat study do not reach the maximum tolerated dose (112) and replacement studies are underway with a high dose of 20,000 ppm (123) . The mice received 1000 5000 or 30,000 ppm for 18 months in their diets. These studies were non-positive (112,109). There was a non-statistically significant increase in a rare renal tumor (renal tubular adenoma (benign) in male mice (109). The rat chronic study needs to be redone with a high dose to fill a partial data ' gap (112). The EPA weight of evidence classification would be D: not classified (51) . ' Mutagenicity Testing Glyphosate has been tested in many short term mutagenicity tests. These include 7 bacterial (including Salmonella typhimurim and B. subtilis) and 1 yeast strain Sacchomyces cerevisiae as well as a mouse dominant lethal test and sister chro- matid exchange. The microbial tests were negative up to 2,000 mg/plate (15), as were the mouse dominant lethal and the Chinese hamster ovary cell tests. EPA considers the mutagenicity requirements for glyphosate to be complete in the Guidance for the Registration of Pesticide Products containing glyphosate (112). 1 Developmental Studies ' The developmental studies that have been done using glyphosate include terato- genicity studies in the rat and rabbit, three generation reproduction studies in the rat, and a reproduction study in the deer mouse. (15) ' Rats were exposed to .levels of up to 3,500 mg/kg/d in one rat teratology study. There were no teratogenic effects at 3,500 mg/kg/d and the fetotoxicity NOEL was ' 1 ,000 mg/kg/d. In the rabbit study a fetotoxicity NOEL was determined at 175 mg/kg/d and no teratogenic effects were observed at 10 or 30 mg/kg/d in one study and 350 mg/kg/d in the other study (15). No effects were observed in the deer mouse collected from conifer forest sprayed at 2 lbs active ingredient per ' acre (15). Tolerances & Guidelines ' EPA has established tolerances for glyphosate residues in at least 75 agri- cultural products ranging from 0.1 ppm (most vegetables) to 200 ppm for animal feed commodities such as alfalfa (8). U.S. EPA Office of Drinking Water has released draft Health Advisories for Glyphosate of 17.50 mg/L (ten day) and 0.70 mg/L (Lifetime)(51). ' Avian Two types of avian toxicity studies have been done with glyphosate: ingestion in ' adults and exposure of the eggs. The species used in the ingestion studies were the mallard duck, bobwhite quail; 'and the adult hen (chickens). The 8 day feeding LC50s in the mallard and bobwhite are both greater than 4,640 ppm. In ' the hen study, 1 ,250 mg/kg was administered twice daily for 3 days resulting in a total dose of 15,000 mg/kg. No behavioral or microscopic changes were observed (15) . Invertebrates A variety of invertebrates (mostly arthropods) and microorganisms from fresh- water, marine, and terrestrial ecosystems have been studied for acute toxic effects of technical glyphosate as well as formulated Roundup. The increased toxicity of Roundup compared with technical glyphosate in some studies indicates ' that it is the surfactant (MONO 818) in Roundup that is the primary toxic agent ( 117). Acute toxicity information may be summarized as follows: Glyphosate (technical ): Acute toxicity ranges from a 48 hr EC50 for ' midge larvae of 55 mg/L to a 96 hr TL50 for the fiddler crab of 934 mg/L (15) . Roundup: Acute toxicity ranges from a 48 hr EC50 for Daphnia of 3 mg/L to a 96 hr LC50 for crayfish of 1000 mg/L (15). Amorg the insects tested, the LC50 for honeybees was 100 mg/bee 48 hours after ' either ingestion, or topical application of technical glyphosate and Roundup. This level of experimental exposure is considerably in excess of exposure levels that would occur during normal field applications (15). II 1 I, 1 Aquatic Species (Fish) Technical glyphosate and the formulation Roundup have been tested on various fish species. Roundup is more toxic than glyphosate, and it is the surfactant ' that is considered to be the primary toxic agent in Roundup: Glyphosate (technical ) : Acute 96 hr LC50s range from 24 mg/L for bluegill ' (Dynamic test) to 168 mg/L for the harlequin fish (15) . Roundup: Acute lethal toxicity values range from a 96 hr LC50 for the fathead minnow of 2.3 mg/L to a 96 hr TL50 for rainbow trout of 48 mg/L (15). Tests with Roundup show that the egg stage is the least sensitive fish life stage. ' The toxicity increases as the fish enter the sac fry and early swim up stages. Higher test temperatures increased the toxicity of Roundup to fish, as did higher pH (up to pH 7.5). Above pH 7.5, no change in toxicity is observed. ' Glyphosate alone is considered to be only slightly acutely toxic to fish species (LC50s greater than 10 mg/L), whereas Roundup is considered to be toxic to some ' species of fish, having LC50s generally lower than 10 mg/L (15,118) . SUMMARY Glyphosate when used as recommended by the manufacturer, is unlikely to enter watercourses through run-off or leaching following terrestrial application ( 117). Toxic levels are therefore unlikely to occur in water bodies with normal ' application rates and practices (118). Glyphosate has oral LD50s of 4,320 and 5,600 in male and female rats respec- tively. The elimination is rapid and very little of it is metabolized. The NOAEL in rats was 20,000 ppm and 500 mg/kg/d in dogs. No teratogenic effect was observed at doses up to 3,500 mg/kg/d and the fetotoxicity NOELS were 1 ,000 mg/kg/d in the rat and 175 mg/kg/d in the rabbit. The evidence of oncogenicity in animals is judged as insufficient at this time to permit classification of the carcinogenic potential of glyphosate. The compound ' is not mutagenic. REFERENCES ' 1 .

In order to provide safe transportation services to the Commonwealth , AMTRAK must maintain the ROW to protect its ' passengers, property, and personnel. Uncontrolled vegetation along this ROW poses a great hazard to the safe operation of the railroad line. Federal law requires railroads to control vegetation on ROWS . ' The law specifically states that vegetation on railroad property must be controlled so that it does not (a) become a fire hazard; (b) obstruct the visibility of railroad signs and signals; (c) interfere with normal trackside duties ; (d) prevent proper functioning of signal and communication lines ; and (e) prevent . visual inspections of equipment (v_. 49 CFR Subsection 213 . 37) . ' In 1987 , specific ROW vegetation management regulations (333 CMR 11. 00 et sect. ) were put into effect by the Pesticide Board of ' the Massachusetts Department of Food and Agriculture (DFA) . These regulations J.imit herbicide application around "Sensitive Areas" : ' ^ iz : ''wetla-nds , public, and private water supplies,, standing and flowing waters, inhabited areas, and agricultural areas e(333 CMR ' 11. 04) . Herbicides that can be used are selected from a list of state recommended herbicides. ' The ROW Regulations require that a five-year Vegetation Management Plan (VMP) be submitted, describing the general approach ' to vegetation management to be used by ROW operators. Once the VMP has been approved by the Commonwealth (after public review and comment) , a Yearly Operational Plan (YOP) is submitted, which provides specific details on the proposed vegetation management ' program for each calendar year, as well as the municipalities within which the work is to occur. The YOPs contain basic ' iv information from the VMP , along with track delineations of ' "Sensitive Areas" for the specific cities and towns where herbicide application will occur during the calendar year. ' The following AMTRAK Commuter Rail System YOP for the 1992 calendar year is based upon the VMP approved in 1989 by the ' Massachusetts Department of Food and Agriculture . This YOP proposes a selective Spring 1992 application of a mixture of the ' herbicides Escort and Roundup within unrestricted ("white") zones in the "Tower All area of the Cities of Boston, Cambridge, and ' Somerville. This will be followed by a Summer 1992 application of the. Escort/Roundup herbicide mix to remaining approved portions of ' the Commuter Rail System ROW, as well as any needed "touch-up" of the "Tower All ROW area. The total amount of herbicide applied ' during the 1992 calendar year will not exceed the limits specified in the Regulations (v. 333 CMR 11. 03 (8) ) or by the respective manufacturer' s labels (v_. Section 1. 2) . ' The 1992 YOP provides all information required by the ' Regulations . The Plan details field procedures for the identification of target vegetation, the identification and delineation of sensitive areas , and management of herbicide application. In the sections that follow, 'herbicide information is provided relating to the proposed herbicide products, herbicide ' application rates, timing and equipment proposed for use, as well as the identification and qualifications of the company to perform and oversee the herbicide application. Finally, appendices include United States Geologic Survey (USGS) maps (which locate the ROWS and their proximity to Sensitive Areas considered "not readily identifiable in the field") , municipal maps (which describe the ' area in greater detail and show areas of spray zone restrictions) , copies of Determinations of Applicability, state-issued Herbicide Fact Sheets, the Massachusetts ROW Regulations (333 CMR 11. 00 et seg. ) , and the "Preface to Wetlands Regulations Relative to Rights of Way Management" (3 10 CMR 10 . 00 et. se�C . ) . v 01 1. HERBICIDE INFORMATION 1. 1 DESCRIPTION OF HERBICIDES ' A mixture of the herbicides Escort and Roundup is proposed to be applied along the AMTRAK Commuter Rail System Right-of-Way (ROW) ' within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for the 1992 calendar year . Escort and Roundup have been recommended for use in Sensitive Areas by the Massachusetts Department of Food and ' Agriculture (DFA) and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (v. 333 CMR 11. 04 (1) (d) ) . This herbicide mixture, ' which was previously approved for use in 1991 along other similar railway ROWS in the Commonwealth, has a short-term "contact" effect ' on problem vegetation. ' The following provides information on each proposed herbicide with respect to active ingredients , adjuvants, and application procedures. 1. 1. 1 The Herbicide Escort Escort, which contains the active ingredient metsulfuron methyl (,Methyl 2 [ [ [ [ ( 4-Methoxy-6-methyl-1 , 3 , 5-Triazin-2-y1) amino] carbonyl] amino] sulfonyl ] benzoate] ) effectively controls many annual, biennial, and perennial grasses and broadleaf weeds when applied as directed. Information on metsulfuron methyl is provided in the "Herbicide Fact Sheet" (see Appendix D) prepared by the Massachusetts DFA. It is "registered for use on wheat and barley and non-cropland sites such as Right of Way. " When this product is used as recommended by the manufacturer, dispersal in Sensitive Areas is limited. 1-1 1. 1. 2 The Herbicide Roundup ' Roundup , which contains the active ingredient glyphosate ' ( n- (phosphonomethyl) glycine isopropylamine salt) , effectively controls most perennial species, annual and biennial grasses, and ' broadleaf weeds when applied as directed. It should be noted that in the "Herbicide Fact Sheet" prepared by the Massachusetts DFA (see Appendix D) , glyphosate has been judged to be relatively immobile in most soil environments due to its strong adsorption to soil particles and organic matter, which begins almost immediately after application. Thus, as concluded within the "Herbicide Fact Sheet " , when this product is used as recommended by the ' manufacturer, dispersal in Sensitive Areas is limited. 1. 1. 3 The Adjuvant Exactrol In order to reduce any drift potential of the herbicide mixture during application, an adjuvant, also referred to as a thickener, is added to the herbicide . . The adjuvant proposed for use is Exactrol (manufactured by the Exacto Chemical Company) , which contains 30% polyacrylamide copolymer as its active ingredient. 1. 2 APPLICATION RATES ' The following product quantities will be diluted in 30 gallons of water to achieve the desired concentration. The pressure of discharge will not exceed 60 psi (in compliance with Sections 11. 02 ' and 11. 04 of the ROW Management Regulations) ; and 30 gallons of herbicide mix per acre will be applied to the ROW. Product Rate Escort 0. 5 ounce/acre Roundup 3 quarts/acre 1-2 ounces/acre Exactrol 1-2 1. 3 APPLICATION TIMING Post-emergent application of the herbicide mixture is proposed to occur during the 1992 calendar year within approved areas along the AMTRAK Commuter Rail system ROW. Application will take place ' in the late spring in the "Tower All area of Boston, Cambridge, and Somerville once the target vegetation (all vegetation growing within the boundaries of the ballast) has germinated. A second mid-summer application of this herbicide mixture is proposed for the remainder of the Commuter Rail System ROW, as well as for any needed "touch-up" of the "Tower All area. Figure 1 illustrates the typical railroad right-of-way areas requiring vegetation control. The goal of the spray program is to 1 minimize the presence of organic material in the ballast area -- - thus, even sparsely vegetated areas must be treated. Areas that ' have no vegetation will not be treated. In accordance with Section 11 . 07 of the ROW Management Regulations , public notification (by certified mail) will be provided to each affected municipality at least twenty-one (21) 1 days prior to any herbicide application. This notification will be sent to the Mayor, City Manager or Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, Board of Health- ,- and-...Conservation Commission of each of these municipalities, and will include (at a minimum) : ' 1) any updated portions of the YOP that have been adjusted through the review process - based on comments and suggestions made by the DFA and municipalities; 2) the approximate dates on which any proposed herbicide spraying will commence and conclude, provided that after ' this spraying does not conclude more than ten (10days y said approximate date; A copy of this notification will also be sent to the DFA Pesticide ' Bureau. 1 1-3 3 w� w w w w �w w w >• ■w �w �w w �w �w wr wi w �w Figure 1 Railroad Areas Requiring Vegetation Control * .Area Adjacent Area AdjacentRoadbed to sh_ _odder LO $ll__---owl.de1 Integyrated pest management (Ipnl Is used In I%Is area.

Following the approval of this 1992 YOP, AMTRAK will notify the DFA . ' and all affected municipalities (viz . Boston , Cambridge , Somerville) of the specific spraying dates in accordance with the 21-day notice procedure set forth in the Regulations. The goal of the late spring application plan is to provide ' initial control of problem vegetation in the critical "Tower A" area. The "Tower All area is that portion of the ROW within ' approximately two miles of North Station in Boston -- which is a major railway hub for the AMTRAK Commuter Rail System. This ' portion of the ROW was plagued by persistent weed growth in 1991 -despite the Railroad' s generally effective herbicide application I effort for that year (see Section 3 . 1. 4) . Persistent weed growth in the vicinity of "Tower A" is especially problematic for the Railroad due to the high number of railway signal lights in the area that may be obstructed by 'this vegetation. Any obstruction of these "Tower All railway signals may have dire public safety consequences to the Railroad due to the volume of rail traffic on the ROW arriving at or departing from North Station. Since the Escort/Roundup herbicide mixture is only effective Pon direct contact with vegetation ( i . e . it has no residual u ' effect) , only vegetated areas of the ROW will be sprayed at this time. 1. 3 . 2 Summer Application AMTRAK is proposing its mid-summer 1992 herbicide application ' to the remaining portions of its Commuter Rail System ROW, as well as any needed "touch-up" application for the "Tower All area, for some time during the month of July 1992. Following the approval of this YOP, the Railroad will notify the DFA and the affected 1-5 1 municipalities of the specific spraying dates in accordance with the 21-day notice procedure set forth in the Regulations. As with the late spring application of the Escort/Roundup herbicide mixture, only vegetated areas of the Commuter Rail System ' ROW will be sprayed during the summer application. In accordance with the Massachusetts ROW Management Regulations (333 CMR 11 . 03 ( 8) (c) ) , no more than ten percent (10%) of the initially identified target vegetation in Commuter Rail ROW will be retreated during the "touch-up" herbicide application, and the total amount of herbicide applied during the 1992 calendar year will not exceed the limits specified by the label or the YOP (see Section 1 . 2 ) . The post-application data collected on the ' effectiveness of the late spring 1992 spray program will be used to locate problem areas in the "Tower All area, along with the types of vegetation observed. Based upon these collected field data, "touch-up" zones will be defined and respective locations described using visible landmarks . This information will be passed on to the ' contractor applying herbicides. ' Areas that had particularly dense weed regrowth will be of primary concern. t 1. 4- APPLICATION EQUIPMENT A hi-rail vehicle equipped with herbicide application equipment will be used to treat the ROW. This vehicle is similar to a standard truck but has additional metal, train-like wheels which rallow it to travel on the rails while dispensing the herbicide in the designated areas. The standard equipment used to apply the product consists of a spray tank and spraying boom mounted to the rear of this truck. The boom carries a number of nozzles spaced 20 inches apart and directed straight downward; the number opened normally depends on the desired width of spray. For the ROW, the spray width will be close to 20 feet, which is consistent with that proposed within the VMP. The entire boom is 18 feet 4 inches wide, 1-6 t ' and is mounted 18 inches above the railway ballast. Figure 2 illustrates the typical spray pattern produced by the spray boom. Starting and stopping the spray discharges is completely controlled within the cab of the spray vehicle, which is similar to the method used by tractor-mounted spray equipment employed in cropland situations. In order to catch any accidental dripping of herbicide within Sensitive Areas, a "container" will be used. This is a trough-shaped apparatus mounted just behind and above the boom, which will be hydraulically lowered to sit underneath the ' spray nozzles while the vehicle is travelling through "No-Spray" areas. In order to assist in the rapid identification of Sensitive ' Areas in the field, a pilot vehicle will proceed approximately 1/4 mile ahead of the applicator ' s vehicle in order to signal the location of Sensitive Areas. Signaling will be done via radio ' communication and/or the use of a flashing cab light mounted on the pilot vehicle. IIn order to provide greater mobility and decrease the amount of ' time required to apply the herbicide mixture in the railroad layover yard areas , herbicide will be applied in these areas through one of the following methods: 1) A vehicle equipped with hoses may be used to give the weed ' control personnel greater access in these yards so that they will be able to reach remote areas. In compliance with the Regulations for herbicide application in Sensitive Areas, the spray pressure from the hoses will not exceed 60 psi. 2) A hi-rail vehicle with spray booms and nozzles, such as t described above, may be used in a manner similar to that used on the remainder of the ROW. 1-7 m IM man m r m IM m mIMI _ AM so m 2 Typical Spray Pattern Note: Spray can be controlled to selec H vely treat all portionS Dallast, Shoulder, and Adjacent Area) or any of the individual portions alone.

FIELD PROCEDURES ' 3 . 1 IDENTIFICATION OF TARGET VEGETATION 3 . 1. 1 Ballast Area ' This post-emergent herbicide program is targeted toward the eradication of all woody and herbaceous plant species germinating ' within the boundaries of the railroad ballast. Alternative physical and/or economically practicable means of controlling ballast vegetation are currently unavailable to the railroad industry. tThe ballast is defined in the ROW Management Regulations (333 CMR 11. 02) as " . . .the coarse- gravel or crushed rock on to which the ties, tracks and any switching, signaling and communication devices of a railroad are laid. " Through natural succession, vegetation can be expected to become established within railway ballast. The rate at which it becomes established along a given portion of the ROW depends on the environmental conditions in that particular area, thus providing for the differences in density of such vegetation which occurs along the ballast. This vegetation may include annual, perennial:', and"'°`, biennial grasses and weedy herbaceous plants, along with shrub and tree seedlings. The railroad industry maintains that this vegetational growth presents both a hindrance to required railway maintenance practices and a hazard to public and employee safety. For example, such vegetational growth may obstruct the visibility of railroad signs and signals; it may prevent railway workers from noticing damaged, broken or improperly adjusted track; and propagating root systems within the ballast may reduce drainage and increase moisture around the ties and other wooden structures, thus encouraging decay and reducing the useful life of the structures. In addition, plant tissues growing near the rail may be crushed between wheel and 3-1 1 rail, with released water and plant sap acting as a lubricant to increase locomotive stopping distances. ' It should be noted that Federal law (49 CFR Subsection 213 . 37) requires railroads to control vegetation along their ROWS: vegetation on railroad property which is on or immediately adjacent to the roadbed, must be controlled so that it does not: a) become a fire hazard to track-carrying structures; b) obstruct visibility of railroad signs and signals; c) interfere with railroad employees performing normal trackside duties ; d) prevent proper functioning of signal and communication lines; and e) prevent railroad employees from visually inspecting moving equipment from their normal duty stations. 3 . 1. 2 Area Adjacent to the Ballast Woody vegetation, growing in the areas adjacent to the railroad ' ballast, will be selectively managed in order to promote the growth of low-growing shrub species. Targeted woody vegetation will be that which has the potential to invade the roadbed area and/or the toverhead communication lines . Non-chemical methods will be used in the control of this vegetation. Selective mechanical mowing and hand cutting will be the means used to control this vegetation. Stem, foliar, and cut stump applications of herbicide to woody vegetation will not be used to manage this area in the 1992 calendar year. Target vegetation will include but not be limited to the following species: ' COMMON NAME SCIENTIFIC NAME Alternate Leaf Dogwood Cornus alternifolia American Basswood Tilia americana American Beech Facrus Grdifolia an Apple Malus spp. 3-2 Aspen Populus spp. Birch Betula spp. Black Walnut Juglans nigra Common Buckthorn Rhamnus cathartica ' Butternut Juglans cinerea Black Cherry Prunus serotina Hawthorn Crataegus spp. Hickory Carva spp. Oak Quercus spp. Pine Pinus spp. Sassafras Sassafras albidum Spruce Picea spp. The following non-target plant communities will be permitted to ' develop in the area adjacent to the ballast. These plant communities are dominated by, but not limited to, the following Lplant species or groups of species. COMMON NAME SCIENTIFIC NAME Blackberry Rubus spp. Grasses Gramineae Goldenrod Solidago spp. Plantain Plantago spp. Mullein Verbascum thapsis Horsetail Eguisetum spp. Other non-woody plants An exception to mechanical weed control must be made for the management of poison ivy (Toxicodendron. radicans) growing around and along signal boxes. Because dermal contact with this plant can cause severe irritation; ' hand-cutting of this species is not recommended. Therefore, the railroad proposes to selectively treat poison ivy in these areas with manual backpack applications of the Escort/Roundup mixture. This application will comply with all Sensitive Area restrictions and setbacks as defined in the ROW Management Regulations. 3 . 1. 3 Alternative Control Methods Vegetation in areas designated as No-Spray will be hand-cut on an as-needed basis. As required by the Massachusetts ROW Management Regulations (333 CMR 11. 04 (4) (a) ) , application of 3-3 herbicides will not occur within 10 feet of a wetland, or standing or flowing surface water; within 100 feet of a public drinking water reservoir; within 400 feet of any public ground water supply ' well; or within 50 feet of any known private drinking water supply. Several areas along the AMTRAK Commuter Line System ROW require modifications to weed control methods. In some sections of the ROW, high densities of weeds are persistently found in the roadbed ibetween two adjacent tracks, outside the spray pattern. Other sections of the ROW, bounded by concrete walls or fencing, have ' shrubbery problems which must be controlled pursant to Federal regulations. These shrubs may seriously damage train cars (rolling stock) and pole-lines as substantial height is attained. Tall ' shrubs may also conceal important railroad equipment, including ' signal lights which warn of oncoming trains . Such areas require spray width extensions to include this problem vegetation. These weed control modifications were approved by the DFA for the previous 1991 calendar year. ' Areas of concern are listed according to proposed alternative methods, and arranged by route: 1) The following ROW sections require spray, width extensions: ' ,-a) <WesternRoute Main Line * Between Malden Station and Oak Grove Station (milepost 4 . 45 to 5. 11) * Short section near the Medford/ Malden city line ' * Upland areas (unrestricted spray zones) in Reading b) New Hampshire Main Line * Fenced area with dense shrubbery in Somerville (milepost 2 . 5 to 3 . 0) c) Eastern Main Line * Middle of roadbed from GE Crossing to the West Lynn Cross-over (milepost 9 . 8 to 10. 5) * Abuttment to Salem Tunnel ' (milepost 16. 1 to 16.45) * Upland areas (unrestricted spray zones) in Lynn 3-4 d) Fitchburg Main Line * Up to the retaining wall at milepost 7 in Belmont * Shrubs along fence and wall in Waltham (milepost 9 to 10) ' * Section of roadbed outside spray width in Waltham (milepost 10 to 10 . 4) * The pole-line in Ayer (milepost 35 . 8) * The 6-foot section in the middle of the roadbed in Leominster (milepost 42 to 43 ) e) Franklin Branch ' * Wherever necessary along the roadbed from the Westwood town line into Norwood (mile-post 12 to 16) ' * Up to the edge of a rock-cut in Norfolk (mile-post 23 . 3) f) Readville/Dorchester Branch * The middle roadbed in Boston from milepost 221 . 8 to 223 , and milepost 223 . 3 to 223 . 7 2)- Although all stations will . be sprayed, the following stations require special attention: ' a) Western Main Route * Wakefield, Andover, Lawrence, and Ballardvale ' b) New Hampshire Main Line * Lowell Station has persistent dense weed growth in the middle roadbed. ' c) Fitchburg Main Line * Up to the retaining wall in Porter Square Sta. ->*- At milepost 10 in Waltham Station * Directly to the west of Roberts Station (as needed) * The roadbed between milepost 16 . 7 and 17 . 6 at Lincoln Station * Shrubs along pole-line just east of Concord Station * The roadbed at West Concord Station 1 3-5 ' 3) Additional areas of concern requiring herbicide ' application: a) Eastern Main Line * Coach house at milepost 1 ' * Areas of new construction in Everett and Chelsea (to provide more effective Integrated Pest Management by reducing biomatter ' accumulation) * The wide roadbed at the Saugus River Drawbridge (the edge of proposed spray pattern is outside ' the required 10-foot set-back) b) Gloucester Branch of Eastern Main Line: *The wide roadbeds between the tracks at the Manchester and Gloucester Drawbridges (the ' edge of proposed spray pattern is outside the required 10-foot set-back) ' 3 . 1. 4 Monitoring of Spray Effectiveness ' In 1991, the AMTRAK Commuter Rail System in fifty-nine cities and town in Massachusetts was treated under the approved YOP for ' that calendar year. In order to determine the effectiveness of the herbicide application program, AMTRAK representatives conducted field inspections of vegetation growth along the AMTRAK ROWS shortly before herbicide application in July 1991. Field ' inspection reports included detailed locations of target vegetation along the ROWS, along with descriptions of environmental conditions , weather conditions, track conditions, and vegetation !'type and relative abundance. Following the herbicide application for the 1991 season, observations of the condition of the ' vegetation along the ROWs were again made by representatives from AMTRAK. The herbicide Roundup was used for vegetation management in ' 1991. Prior to herbicide application in July, the railroad ROW showed severe weed problems in many areas as a result of two factors: (1) Arsenal (which was applied to the ROW in 1990) was ' relatively ineffective in the eradication of most weed species 3-6 along the AMTRAK ROW. Many areas which had been treated in ' 1990 showed no change in weed densities or growth after being treated with the Arsenal mixture in 1990 . ' (2) Municipalities were being included for the first time within the AMTRAK vegetation management plan under the ROW ' Regulations . Many of these municipalities ' ROWs had not been treated with herbicides for a period of years. ' With the change to Roundup in 1991, the post-application inspection ' showed that this herbicide was much more effective in eradicating target vegetation and the "green" areas of the ROW. A satisfactory "brown-out" of problem vegetation was observed in most treated ' areas .' ' The only remaining problem area was located in the vicinity of "Tower All in Boston, Cambridge, and Somerville. In this area, a ' species of goldenrod (Solidaao sp. ) appeared to not only be unaffected by the direct application of the herbicide -- but also appeared to increase somewhat in abundance. This increase may be due to decreased competitive pressure upon the goldenrod in this ' area due to the effect of the herbicide upon other sympatric vegetation. As a result, the railroad is proposing to use a mixture of the herbicides Roundup and Escort for the 1992 calendar year. In addition, the "Tower A"area "i s' proposed to be initially ' of 1992 with any. necessary treated in the late spring (May) ' "touch-up" of this area proposed for mid-summer (July) of 1992 . ' A survey of the pre-application vegetation densities will be conducted by AMTRAK inspectors for the 1992 application season in ' the same manner as was described above. Another survey will take place after the application of herbicides has occurred. Comparisons will be made concerning the effectiveness of the Escort/Roundup mixture vs. the application of Roundup alone. Based on these observations, recommendations concerning other Integrated ' Pest Management practices will be made. 3-7 ' 3 . 2 PROCEDURES FOR IDENTIFYING SENSITIVE AREAS ' 3 . 2 . 1 Definition and Delineation of Sensitive Areas Sensitive areas have been defined in the ROW Management Regulations (333 CMR 11. 00) as (but not limited to) areas: ' a. within the primary recharge area of a public drinking water supply well; b. within four hundred (400) feet of any surface water used as ' a public water supply; c. within one hundred (100) feet of any identified private drinking water supply well; ' d. within one hundred (100) feet of any standing or flowing water; e. within one hundred (100) feet of any wetland f. within one hundred (100) feet of any agricultural or ' inhabited area. Sensitive areas "not readily identifiable in the field" ' (viz . , areas a, b, c, d, and e, above) will be designated with permanent markers . These .markers will consist of one or some ' combination of the following: (1) upright, color-coded stakes installed adjacent to the ROW; (2) square, color-coded aluminum plates which are affixed to the center of the railroad ties; (3) paint. The markers will indicate the borders of the "No-Spray" and "Limited- Spray": - zones as defined in the regulations. The color code is as follows: yellow indicates "No-Spray" zones, blue indicates "Limited-Spray" zones, and white marks the borders of ' unrestricted areas (see Key in Appendix A) . ' No herbicide application will occur within a municipality until permanent markers delineating its Sensitive Areas have been ' properly installed. The marker locations will be verified before every approved herbicide application. 3-8 ' 3 . 2 . 2 Identification and Location of Wells and Surface Water Supplies In the course of identifying and locating public wells, aquifer ' recharge areas and surface drinking water supplies , detailed maps prepared by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental ' Protection (DEP) , Division of Water Supply were consulted. These maps demarcate specific locations of public wells and water ' supplies . In addition, local Conservation Commissions, Boards of Health and Water Departments were contacted in an effort to obtain ' further information with respect to both public and private water supplies. Information obtained during the public comment period will also be incorporated. All of this information was used to identify restricted spray ' zones along the ROW in compliance with the ROW Management Regulations (333 CMR 11. 04) . Figure 3 illustrates an example of ' the spray restrictions for a public surface water supply. These known restricted zones within each municipality are identified on ' the maps provided as part of this YOP (see Appendix A and B) . ' 3 . 2 . 3 Identification and Location of Wetlands Each portion of the ROW was visually inspected by a qualified botanist"""employed by Sanford Ecological wetland scientist or Services, Inc. to locate any wetlands and standing or flowing water ' in the vicinity of the tracks. The presence of wetlands and their locations were determined in conformance with the wetland ' vegetational criteria within the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act (M.G.L. Chapter 131, Section 40) and its implementing ' regulations (310 CMR 10 . 00) . Figure 4 illustrates examples of spray restrictions applying to wetlands, land under water, or standing water, under the Massachusetts ROW Management Regulations.

The locations of these Sensitive Areas were then ' submitted in Requests for a Determination of Applicability to each respective municipality for approval by the local Conservation ' Commission. These filings were submitted in compliance with Section 10 . 05 (3) (a) (2) of the Wetlands Protection Act Regulations. ' Upon the issuance of a Determination of Applicability by the ' respective municipal Conservation Commissions, permanent markers were installed to designate the approved boundaries of these ' sensitive areas . ' 3 . 2 . 4 Identification of Private Drinking Water Supplies As stated within Section 11. 04 (2) (c) of the regulations, the ' applicant shall consult with the DFA to identify private wells that are located within one hundred (100) feet of the ROW. Wells identified by the applicant to be within 100 feet shall be kept on file and incorporated into this YOP. The VMP must include the method of locating identified private wells in the field prior to the application of herbicides. It shall also be the responsibility ' of the applicant to adhere to the sensitive area restrictions around identified private wells. ' 3 . 2 . 5 Identification of Inhabited and Agricultural Areas ' The ROW Management Regulations restrict low pressure foliar herbicide application within 100 feet of any inhabited area or any ' agricultural area to one application per calendar year. As defined within the regulations, inhabited areas refer to, but are not ' limited to, residences, schools, hospitals, parks, and recreational facilities or other areas in which humans generally live, work or gather. Agricultural areas refer to, but are not limited to, ' actively cultivated gardens, greenhouses, orchards, fields, pastures, and other areas where herbicides might impact adversely ' on the vegetation under cultivation or agricultural management. 3-12 ' These areas are considered to be "readily identifiable in the field" . In order to identify these areas and those marked with ' delineation markers, a pilot vehicle will proceed approximately 1/4 mile ahead of the applicator ' s vehicle in order to signal the location of these sensitive areas. Signaling will be done by means ' of radio communication and/or the use of a flashing cab light mounted on the pilot vehicle. 3 . 3 HERBICIDE MANAGEMENT ' Herbicides used for vegetation management along ROWS will be handled according to certain precautionary measures which are described below. ' 3 . 3 . 1 Mixing and Loading Herbicide The herbicide mix will be prepared from herbicide concentrate ' and water. This product will be contained and transported within an apparatus mounted on the hi-rail truck. In compliance with the ' regulations, the handling, mixing an loading of this material f��will not occur within 100 feet of any sensitive area. rt. ..'.L-'-':. lfl' l ef4i, yr n. .i"']v^. __ Wherever and whenever possible, the h'erbicde 'appl-icator will prepare the herbicide mix on non-porous surfaces, such as pavement ' or concrete. 3 . 3 . 2 Sources of Water and Safeguards to Prevent Contamination Water used for herbicide mix will be obtained from hydrants and freshwater sources. During the herbicide mix preparation and during herbicide application, strict adherence to the following safeguards will be maintained: 3-13 1 ' 1) Water will be obtained using hoses equipped with anti-siphon devices to eliminate herbicide backflow. a) Hoses used to extract water from waterbodies will be ' equipped with two such devices: one will be found directly behind the mouth of the hose and another will be at the coupling which joins the hose to the mix tank. ' b) Hoses used to extract water from the hydrant will utilize the same setup as described above, except that a third anti-siphon device will be found within the coupling ' joining the hose to the hydrant. ' 2) The herbicide concentrate will not be added to the tank until the water has been obtained and the applicator apparatus is at least 100 feet outside of a sensitive area . 3 . 3 . 3 Disposal of Herbicide Wastes Disposal of all herbicide wastes will be the responsibility of ' the licensed applicator. It is the applicator ' s responsibility to ensure that such disposal will be carried 'out in an environmentally ' sensitive manner, in compliance with all Federal and State regulations and guidelines. 3 . 4 EMERGENCY CONTACTS ' In the event of an herbicide spill, information on safety precautions and cleanup procedures will be gathered from the following sources: e_ N_ u Information Source Phon * mber (800) 424-9300 Chem Trec 3-14 1 1 (continued) 1 Information Source Phone Number * Environmental Protection Agency (800) 858-7378 1 24-hour Pesticide Hotline (general information on products, poisoning, 1 cleanup and disposal, compliance) 1 * Herbicide Label 1 * Herbicide Manufacturer Monsanto (314) 694-4000 American Cyanamid (201) 835-3100 1 * Herbicide Material Safety Data Sheets 1 * Local Community Chief of Police, Fire 1 Chief , and Right-to-Know Coordinator 1 * Massachusetts Department of (617) 292-5500 Environmental Protection Office 1 * Massachusetts Pesticide Bureau (617) 727-7712 * Massachusetts Poison Control Center '' (80(Y) ^68'2-9211 (24 hour medical emergency number) i i i 1 1 3-15 1 ' 4 . MUNICIPALITIES INCLUDED IN 1992 YEARLY OPERATIONAL PLAN ' A Determination of Applicability has been provided by ' the following municipalities, pursuant to Section 10 . 05 (3) (a) (2) of the Wetlands Protection Act Regulations (310 CMR 10 . 00) .

EXPLANATION OF MAPS LOCATING SENSITIVE AREAS 1 ' APPENDICES A and B contain general locus maps and track charts for each municipality listed in this YOP. APPENDIX A consists of main line maps while APPENDIX B includes layover yard maps . The first page provides a key for symbols used in both the locus maps and track charts. The second page, a "Track Chart Legend" , describes railroad and engineering symbols useful to the interpretation of the delineated track charts. The maps included ' with this plan are: 1) United States Geologic Survey (USGS) topographic maps (scale t1: 25 , 000) which indicate the locus of the work and include public and private well information; and ' 2) Track charts, which show the delineation of sensitive areas "not readily identifiable in the field" , for each municipality included in this Plan. 1 ' S-1 i ' SECTION 6 . LAYOVER YARD VEGETATION MANAGEMENT i The layover yards sevicing the AMTRAK ROW were delineated separately from the main tracks to account for different track i configurations . Delineations were performed in accordance with the ROW regulations (333 CMR 11. 00) and conducted in the same manner as those on the main lines. Spray operations, using the isame state-recommended herbicide, will duplicate those performed on the main lines. iLayover yards are an important aspect of railroad i management. The yards provide overnight storage for trains in the outlying points of the Commuter Line. Rather than sending i empty trains out in the early morning from Boston to pick up commuters, trains from outlying layover yards are ready to transport commuters into Boston. Train layovers essentially ieliminate one round trip daily, in the late evening and in the early morning, thus saving fuel as well as train usage. iThe following is a list of the layover yards which have ireceived Town approval for spraying in 1992:.

' METSULFURON METHYL Common Trade Names: Escort, Ally (2) ' Chemical Name: Methyl 2 C[CC(4-Methoxy-6-methyl-1 ,3,5-Triazin-2-yl ) aminocarbonyl] amino] sulfonyl]benzoate] (9) CAS NO. : 74223-64-6 GENERAL INFORMATION ' Metsulfuron methyl is a sulfonyl urea herbicide initially registered by E. I . duPont deNemours in 1986. It is a foliar herbicide registered for use on wheat ' and barley and non-cropland sites such as Right of Way (9) . ENVIRONMENTAL FATE ' Mobility Metsulfuron methyl is a relatively new herbicide. The studies reviewed here ' have been provided by the registrant, E.I . duPont. The soil water partion coefficients (kd) of Metsulfuron Methyl have been deter- mined in four different soils : Cecil sand, Flanagan silt loam, Fallsington silt ' loam, and keyport silt loam. The Kd values range from 0.36 for Cecil sand to 1 .40 for Flanagan silt loam, and Kom values ranged from 29 for Fallsington silt loam to 120 for Cecil sand ( 100). The values for Kd And Kom indicate that III ' Metsulfuron methyl is not adsorbed well to soil and that the organic content of the soil is not the only adsorption component. The silt and clay contents appear to influence adsorption, but there are probably other factors also involved. ' The previous study also determined the Rf values for soil . Thin layer chroma- tography was performed on four soils for metsulfuron methyl . The Rf values ' ranged from 0.64 to 1 .00; only one value was less than 0.90 ( 100) . This result confirms the validity of the Kd values , indicating that metsulfuron methyl is mobile and that the organic matter content of the soil is a significant com- ponent of adsorption. Metsulfuron -iethyl was applied to tops of 12 inch columns [containing four dif- ferent soils], and eluted with 20 inches of water in 20 hours. Following the ' percolation of the total volume of water, 106% of the Metsulfuron methyl was eluted from the Fallsington sandy loam, 96% from the Flanagan silt loam, 87% for Keyport silt loam and 93% for Myakka sand (100) . The breakthrough volumes for the Fallsington, Flangan, Keyport and Myakka soils were 6.5, 4.5, 6.9 and 5.8 inches of water respectively (101) . ' ?rTLICATIODF #16,073-7-75-'0-89-C.R. A2?ROV4MT 9Y: RIC MURPHY, ?URCHAS iG AM-11T ' Metsulfuron methyl is relatively mobile in most soils, but will be retained longer in soils with higher percentages of organic matter. Persistence ' There are two studies which have reviewed the persistence of Metsulfuron methyl in the soil . One study was conducted in the southern United States and the second was in the northern United States and Canada. The results of the t studies indicate a somewhat contradictory picture of the persistence of Metsulfuron methyl . The soil half-lives in Delaware, North Carolina, Mississippi and Florida were l ' week, 4 weeks, 3 weeks and 1 week respectively following an application in mid to late summer (102) . The results are varied and indicate that either climatic or soil factors determine the persistence. The climate is sufficiently similar to be able to discount that as a factor. However, both of the locations where the shortest half-lives were observed had the highest organic matter content in the soils. Furthermore, the half-lives correspond with the organic matter con- tent. ' The half-lives following spring applications were 4 and 56 weeks for two sites in Colorado, 6 weeks in North DaKOta and 28 weeks in Idaho ( 103) . In contrast ' to the southern United States study there does not appear to be any correlation with climatic or soil characteristics. There appears to be a slightly shorter half-life in acidic soils in the same location . ' Metsulfuron methyl was also applied in the fall and the half-lives determined in two sites in Colorado, North Dakota and Idaho. These half-lives were 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 42 weeks and 28 weeks respectively. As was expected there were ' longer half-lives following fall applications in North Dakota (6 weeks vs. 42 weeks) however, in Idaho there was no, change at all , which is unexpected. In Canada following spring applications the reported 'half-life were 10 weeks, 4 weeks, 4 weeks and 6 weeks for Alberta, 2 locations in Saskatchewan and Manitoba ( 103) . One would expect longer half lives in Northern locations due to the efeects of temperature on degradation rates . The results from Canada are ' generally shorter than those in the U.S. locations, which is unexpected. Therefore, the half-live of Metsulfuron methyl in the soil is variable and ' dependent on the location . It is shorter when applied in the spring but appears independent of other environmental factors in most locations . TOXICITY REVIEW ' Acute (Mammalian) The toxicology database for Metsulfuron methyl has been reviewed and accepted by the EPA (9) . DuPont supplied excerpts from their monograph on ally herbicide (112) . Summaries of studies were supplied by DuPont for subchronic, chronic and reproductive studies. Technical Metsulfuron methyl has been tested in two acute oral LD50 studies in Crl :CD Rats . In the first study the LD50 was greater than 5,000 mg/kg and in the second it was greater than 25,000 mg/kg (the maximum feasible dose) (112) . ' Clinical signs included salivation, chromodacryorrhea, stained face, stained perineal area and weight loss (112) . ' In a 10-dose subacute study using male rats, a singe repeated dose of 3,400 mg/kg/day for 10 days over a 2 week period was administered. This was followed by a two week recovery period. No deaths occurred and slight weight loss was the only clinical sign observed. In addition, no gross or microscopic changes were observed (112) . The dermal LD50 is greater than 2,000 mg/kg in male and female rabbits (112) . Technical Metsulfuron methyl caused mild erythema as a 40% solution in guinea pigs . There was no reaction observed at the 4% con- centration. No response occurred when treated animals were challenged (112) . In rabbits, moderate area of slight corneal clouding and severe to moderate con- junctivitis were observed in both washed and unwashed eyes following treatment with technical Metsulfuron methyl . The unwashed eyes were normal in 3 days and the washed eyes in 14 days (112) . ' Metabolism Elimination of Metsulfuron Methyl in the rat is rapid, with 91% of a radioactive ' dose excreted over 96 hours (9) . The routes of elimination were not specified. within report Subchronic/Chronic (Mammalian) ' Ninety day feeding studies have been done with Metsulfuron methyl in rats and mice. The rat study was done in conjunction with a one generation reproduction ' study (see Developmental Study Section) . In this study rats received 0, 100, 1000, or 7500 ppm (0, 5.7, 57, 428 mg/kg/d) (a) in their diets . Effects observed at the high dose were: a decrease in body weight and an increase in total serum protein in the females, and a decrease in liver weight and a t decrease in cytoplasmic clearing of hepatocytes in the males the NOEL in this study was 1000 ppm (104) . t The 90 day mouse study was done in conjunction with the 18 month mouse study. Groups of 90 mice per sex per dose received 0, 5, 25, 500, 2500 or 5000 ppm (0, 0.66, 3.3, 66.6, 333.3, 666.6 mg/kg/d) in their diets. Clinical evaluations were made at 1 ,. 2, 3, 6, 12 and 18 months . Ten animals per group were sacri- (iced at the 90 day time point for pathological evaluation . The 2500 ppm group was sacrificed at 12 months. Sporadic effects were observed on the body weight, food consumption, and organ weights. These were not dose related, resulting in a NOEL of 5000 ppm in diet for mice ( 111 ) . In the twenty-one day dermal rabbit study, the intact skin of male and female New Zealand 'White Rabbits received doses of 0, 125, 500 and 2,000 mg/kg for 6 hrs/day for 21 days. Clinical signs observed were sporadic weight loss and diarrhea in a few rab5its. ThesE effects were not dose related. Non dose related histological effects were observed in male rabbits. This effect was charac- terized as mild testicular atrophy occurring sporadically at all doses (112, 108) . ' Feeding studies in dogs have been done with purebred beagles . The animals received Metsulfuron methyl in diets at dose levels of 0, 50, 500 and 5000 ppm (0, 0.2, 2, 20 mg/kg/d) for one year. There was a decrease in food consumption in the high dose males . There was a decrease in serum lactate dehydrogenase in all groups of both sexes at two or more doses these values were within the historical controls. The NOEL was 500 ppm in the males and 5000 ppm in females (112) . In a chronic feeding study in rats, the animals received Metsulfuron methyl at ' doses of 0, 5, 25, 500, 2500 or 5000 ppm (0, 0.28, 1 .4, 28.6, 143 or 286 mg/kg/d. Interim sacrifices were done at 13 and 52 weeks ( 105) . ' At the 13 week sacrifice there was a decrease in body weight in the 2500 and 5000 ppm groups; there was a decrease in absolute liver weight at 2500 and 5000 ppm males . There was a decrease in the relative liver weights in the 2500 and ' 5000 ppm females. ( a) ' In these discussions the assumptions made for estimated conversion of ppm (diet) to mg/kg/O were: ' Species Body weight (kg) Intake (kg) Rat 0.35 0.020 Mouse 0.03 0.004 Dog 10 0.4 When data were presented as ppm, the dose was estimated in mg/kg and is presented ' in parenthesis. Findings at the 52 week sacrifice included increase in kidney weight (2500 ppm ' males) and increase absolute brain weights (at doses of 25, 500, 2500 and 5000 ppm) in males and at doses of 2,500 and 5000 ppm in females. There was an increase in absolute heart weight at 2500 ppm in males and at 2500 and 5000 ppm ' in females . The absolute organ weights were back to normal at termination . Relative brain weights of the 2500 and 5000 ppm groups were increased (105) . Oncogenicity Studies There were no gross or histopathological changes observed in mice receiving up to 5000 ppm metsulfuron methyl in their diets (112, 111) . Similar results were obtained in the 104 week ratstudy; there were no histopathological changes observed which were attributable to metsulfuron methyl (105, 112) . EPA concludes that there were no oncogenic effects in rats or mice at the highest dose tested; 5000 ' ppm in both cases (9) . Mutagenicity Testing ' Metsulfuron methyl was negative in the unscheduled DNA synthesis assay; in vivo bone marrow cytogenic assay in rats (doses were 500, 1 ,000, and 5,000 mg%kg bw) ; CHO/HGPRT Assay; Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay four strains with ' and without S9 metabolic activation; and also in the in vivo mouse micronucleus assay at doses of 166, 500, 1666, 3000 and 5000 mg/kg (112) . The only positive mutageni- city assay was in the in vitro assay for chromosome aberrations in Chinese ' Hamster Ovary at high doses (greater than 2.63 mM, 1 .0 mg/mL) ) . In this assay no increases in structural aberrations were observed at 0. 13 or 1 .32 mM(0.05 or 0.5 mg/mL) ( 112) . Developmental Studies Several studies have been done to investigate the effects of Metsulfuron methyl on reproduction and development in rats and rabbits. Pregnant Crl : COBS CD(SO) SR rats received metsulfuron methyl at doses of 0, 40, 250 or 1000 mg/kg by the oral route on days 5 to 14 of gestation . There ' were 25 rats per group. Maternal toxicity was observed at doses of 250 and 1000 mg/kg/d. The maternal toxicity NOEL was 40 mg/kg/d. There was no evidence of "teratogenic" response or embryo fetal toxicity (112) . ' In the rabbit study, New Zealand white rabbits received 0, 25, 100, 300 or 700 mg/kg/d on days 6 to 18 gestation. There was a dose related increase in mater- nal deaths; 1 , 2 and 12 deaths at .doses of 100, 300 and 700 mg/kg respectively. The maternal toxicity NOEL was 25 mg/kg/d and there was no evidence of teratoge- nic or embryolethal effects observed in this study (112) . Several multigenerational studies have been done with Metsulfuron methyl . A four litter reproduction study was done concurrently with the chronic bioassay. Rats from each treatment were separated from the main study and bred. The doses ' were 0, 5, 25, 500, 2500, and 5000 ppm (0, 0.28, 1 .4, 28.6, 143 and 286 mg/kg/d) . There was a dose dependent decrease in body weight in the parental (P1) generation at doses of 25 ppm and greater in males and females. This effect was not present in dams during gestation or. lactation ( 106) . Overall fertility in the PI and filial (F1 ) matings was low in both control and treated groups with no apparent cause. There was a decrease in pup size in the ' Fla but not the Flb, Fla, or F2b litters. The gestation index was 100% for all groups in both filial generations with the exception of Fla when it was 90%. On the basis of the lower body weights and lower growth rates , the NOEL was 25 ppm for this study ( 106) . ' In a 90 day, 2 generation 4 litter protocol , rats received 0, 25, 500 or 5000 ppm (0, 1 .4, 28.6, 286 mg/kg/d) Metsulfuron. methyl in their diets for 90 days prior to mating. In this protocol the .parental generation was bred twice first to produce the Fla and then the FIB. The F1B rats were then fed the appropriate diet for 90 days (after weaning) . There was a decrease in litter size in the 5000 ppm group in the Fla generation, but not in any other genera- tion. The NOEL for this study was 500 ppm (107) . In a 90 day feeding, one generation rat study, 16 male and 16 female rats received 0, 100, 1000 or 7500 ppm in their diet prior to mating. There were no differences observed in reproduction and lactation performance or litter sur- vival among groups. There was an overall low fertility in the control and ' treated groups. This result made the effects of metsulfuron methyl on fertility difficult to assess from this study ( 104) . Tolerances and Guidelines Tolerances have been set for Metsulfuron methyl in barley wheat (from 0.05 to 20 ppm, depending on the commodity) and in meat and meat byproducts (0.1 ppm) . The ' tolerance in milk is 0.05 ppm (8, 9) . The acceptable daily intake is 0.0125 mg/kg/d based on a one year dog NOEL of 1 .25 mg/kg/d using a safety factor of 100 (9) . ' Avian Metsulfuron methyl has been tested in two species of birds, the mallard duck and ' the bobwhite quail . The acute oral LD50 is greater than 2150 mg/kg in the duck. Two, 8 day dietary studies have been done. The 8 day LC50 is greater than 5620 ppm in both the duck and the quail (9) . Invertebrates The 48 hour LC50 for Daphnia is greater than 150 ppm and the acute toxicity in the honeybee is greater than 25 mg/bee (9) . Aquatic Metsulfuron methyl has acute LC50 of greater than 150 ppm in both the rainbow trout and the bluegill sunfish (9) . ' Summary Metsulfuron methyl has a moderate to high mobility in the soil profile and is ' relatively persistent in the environment, especially when applied in the fall . These factors would be of concern under most circumstances . However, met- sulfuron methyl is applied at very low rates (3-4 ozs./A) and therefore the amounts which reach the soil are quite low. Consequently, Metsulfuron methyl should not impact groundwater as a result of leaching or migrate from the target area. Metsulfuron methyl has low toxicity (EPA Toxicity Category III) for acute dermal ' exposure and primary eye irritation and is category I4 for all other acute expo- sures. The chronic studies indicate no oncooenicity response and the systemic NOEL' s are 500 ppm in rats and 5000 ppm in mice. There was no evidence of tera- tological effects in the rat or the rabbit at the highest dose tested in both ' species . While there was evidence of maternal toxicity at 40 mg/kg/d in the rat and 100 mg/kg/d in the rabbits. 1 1 REFERENCES 2.

The 1 .major" pathway for uptake in plants is through the foliage, however, some root uptake may Occur. The'"presence or suriactanzs and humidlL increases the rate cf absorption of glyphosate by plants OS) .- 1 Foliarly appli =_d olyphosate is readily absorbed and _translocated from treated - areas to untreated shoot regions . The mechanism of herbicidal action for 1 glyphosate is believed to be inhibition or amino acid biosynthesis resulting In a reduction or protein synthesis and inhibition or growth ( 10, lo , 1C1 ) . Glyphosate is generally formulated as the isopropylamine salt in aqueous solu-tion ( 122) . Of the three products containing glyphosate considered here , Roundup is sold with a surfactant and Rodeo and Accord are m.xed with surfac- tants prior to use ( 15) . Glyphosate has been reviewed by LIC Forest Service 1 ( 15) , FAO ( 122) , and EPA ODW (51 ) . ENVIRONMENTAL FATE Mobility Glvghosate is relatively immobile in most soil environments as a result of its 1 strong adsorption to soil particles . Adsorption to soil particles 'and organic matter begins almost irunediately after application. Binding occu-s with oar- ticular rapidity to clays and organic matter ( 15) . Clays and organic matter 1 saturated with iron and aluminum (such as in the Northeast) tend to absorb more glyphosate than those saturated with sodium or calcium. The soil phosphate level is the main determinant of the amount of glyphosate adsorbed to soil par- ticles . Soils which are low in phosphates will adsorb hither levels of glypho- sate ( 14, 15) . Glyphosate is classified as immobile by the `;tilling and Turner classification system. In soil column leaching studies using aged (1 month ) glyphosate, leaching os glyphosate was said to be insigni lcant after 0.g inches of water per gay ror 45 gays' ( 14) . Persistence it has been reported that glyphosate dissipates relatively rapidly whens?plied wever, studies indicate that t H to most soils ( 14) he soil half- li e i ' . o variable and dependent upon soil factors , The half-lire o glyphosate in greenhouse studies when applied to silty clay loam, silt loam, and sandy loam at ' rates or 4 and 8 ppm was 3, 27 and 130 days respectively, independent of appli - cation rate ( 14) . nn average half- life or 2 months has been reported in field ' studies or 11 Solis ( 15) . Glyphosate is mainly d=egraded biologically by soil micro-organisms and has a minimal effect on soil microflora (.16) • in the soil environment , glyphosate is resistant to chemical -.*degradation such as hydrolysis and is stable to sunlight ( 15) , The primary metabolite or glyphosate is aminomethyl phosphonic acid (RMPA) which has a slower degradation rate than glyphosate ( 15) . Tne per- ' sistence of AMPA is reported to be longer than glyphosate, possibly due- to tighter binding to soil (14 ) . No data are available .on the toxicity of thi.s compound . Glyphosate degradation by. microorganisms has been widely tested in a variety of field and laboratorystudies . Soil characteristics used in these studies have included organic contents , soil types and pHs similar to those that occur in ' Massachusetts Glyphosate degradation rates vary ..considerably -across a wide variety of soil types . The- rate of degradation is correlated with microbial activity P1 th.e ' soils and does not appearto be largely dependent on soil pH or organic content (.111j . While degradation rates are likely- temperature . dependent, most reviews of studies do not report or discuss the dependence of degradation rate on tem- ' 1 cited in 17) noted that glyphosate degraded perature . Mueller at al .

Glyphosate hal'-lives for laboratory experi- ments on sandy loam and loamy sand, which are common in Massachusetts, ranoe up t o 1i5 days (117) . The generalizations nofor the body or available results are SL'fficiently robust to incorporate conditions and results applicable to ' glyphosate use in Massachusetts . TOXICITY REVIEW Acute_ (Mammalian) ' Glyphosate has reported oral LD50s of 4,320 and 5,600 mg/kg in male and female rats ( 15,4) . The oral L050s of the two major glyphosate products Rodeo and Roundup are 5,000 and 5,400 mg/kg in the rat (15) . A dermal 1050 or 7,940 mg/kg has been determined in rabbits (15,4) .y There are reoorts of mild dermal irritation in rabbits (6) , moderate eye irrita ion in ' rabbits (7) , and possible phototoxicity in humans (9) . The product involved in the phototoxicity study was Tumbleweed marketed by Murphys Limited UK (9) . Maibach ( 1986) investigated the irritant and the photo irritant responses in individuals exposed to Roundup (41% glyphosate, water, and surfactant) ; Pinesol liquid, Johnson Baby Shampoo, and ivory Liquid dishwashing detergent. The conclusion drawn was that glyposate has 12 ss irritant potential than the Pinesol or the Ivory dishwashing liquid (120) . 1 1 - ' :Metabaiism ' Elimination of alyphosate is rapid and very little of the material is metabo- lized (6 , 106 ) . Subchronic/Chronic Studies (Mammalian ) 1 1n subchronic tests, alyphosate was administered in the diet to dogs and rats at 200, 600 , and 2,000 ppm for 90 days . S variety or toxicoioaical endpoints were _ ' evaluated with ,no significant abnormalities reported ( 15, 10)". In other subchronic tests , rats received 0, 1 ,000 , 5,000, or 20,000 ppm (57 , 286 , 1143 mg/kg ) in the diet for 3 months . The no observaole adverse effect level (NOAEL ) was 20,000 ppm ( 1 , 143 mg/ka) ( 115 ) . In the one year oral dog study, doos received 20, 100, and 500 mg/kg/day. The no .observable effect level (NOEL ) was 500 mg/kg ( 1.16) . 1 Oncoaenicity Studies ' Several chronic carcinogenicity studies have been reported for glyphosate including - an 18 month, mouse study;- ,and two year rat study. in. the rat study, the animals received 0, 30, 100 or. 3300 ppm in diet for 2 years . ERF, has deter- , mined that the doses in the rat study do not reach the maximum tolerated dose ( 112 ) and replacement studies are underway with a high gose . oi 20,000 ppm ( 123 ) .. The mice received 1000 5000 or 30,-000 ppm for 18 months in ,tneir diets , hese studies were non-positive ( 112 , 109) . There was a non-statistically slonlficant - increase in a rare renal tumor (renal tubular adenoma (benign) in male mice ( 109 ) . The rat chronic study needs to be redone with a nigh dose to `ill a partial data gap ( 112) . The EPA weight of evidence classification would be 0: not cla.sified ( ,1) . 1 ' Mutagenicity Testing Glypnosate has been tested in many short term mutagenicity tests . These include i bacterial ( including Salmonella tvpnimurim and 5. subtilis) and 1 veast strain Sacchomyces ceray is iae as well as a mouse oominant le teal test and sister Cnro- matid exchange.

'1"he UFA rr.gulotion.s require persons proposing to apply IlerIot:idcs to rights of way to first receive approval of a rive year Vegetation Mnna Remuenl Plan (V6111) and Yearly Operating Plan (YUP). These regulations identify cortmn "sensitive areas'. including wetlands and public and privnln surface and groundwater supplies, where lire, application of herbicides is, it, mast instances, prohibited, and areas adjacent to Tile scusilive areas where use of hr.rhir.ides is curtailed. DEP worked closely with UFA to include Prnvrsmns which givr. "lox""" ' projection for water supplies and provide protection for wetlands it InaM !(Iu;ll to that provided under the Wetlands Protection Act and rr.gulations. To elimirwle duplicate review under the wetlands Protection Act. DEP has adopted changes to the wetlands regulations which allow herbicide applications nn rights ' of way in accordanrr. with the DFA regulations without filing a Notice of hrtrnl under the Wetlands Protection Act. However, non-exmnpl npplir.ants will still be rcgmrrd to file.. a Request for Determination of AppiirahilitS to trip appropriate conservation rom misslnn to establish houndnries of wetlands on or near the right of way.. ,Speciricaily. lhrse regulations presumTh e at work ' performed in Accordance`with a VNIP and YUP, as may be rnquirrrl under UFA rrgulatinns, will nut alter an area subject to protection under the Wr.11ands Protection Act. ' During tile. puhlir ronmlFnl period on its proposed regulations, the, Drpartnonnt identified several issirs of major concern. After cunsicicralum of all tmnments, the Department has determined that, except for minor poll" of cdaririr.atiml and Ihr addition of nn aulmmmlir. r.xpiralion dntr. nn forthrr ' changes in the regulations ire warranted at this tinge. A discussion Of Illese Issues follows. A. Presumption vs. Limited Pr)Irrt. Several roonnenlators suggcsleri that consnrtirition commissions 5f10tdd retain the authority to mviro• rich heruicitie application on rights of wav though the usual Notice of Intent process. 'Fhrsr. regulations create a pm_sumplion that herbicide application carried not i accordance with an approved VI%IP and YUP under the DFA regulations "1 11 not atter wetlands and that (lie filing of a Notice of intent is therefore not ' required. This procedure was established pursuant to the recommncudnrion of lire CEIR task farce which stales: ' 11/10/89 310 cm[t - 21.1 710-CMR: DEPARTMENT' OF EN MENIAL. 10.00: continued ' 1'110 regulations which provide for approval of Vegetation - Manaaement Plans by the Department of Food and Agriculture should be conditioned on review and approvaf by the Department of Environmental Prolcctinn (DEP) of those portions of the Plans that deal with wetlands. The DEP should be required to certify In the UFA that these portions of the Plates will result in rnmpfiance with the .suhstanlive - -and procedural provisions which q>rolect.,theAnterests of-tire. Wetlands projection Act. If the regulations are so drawn. activities under a Plan approved by DEP would mot constitute an alteration of wetlands as defined under the ' Welfands Protection Act regulations. Since the UFA regulations provide that DEP is a member of the. VMP advisory panel which reviews and makes mcnnunenda l ions on the approval of VMPs. the GEIR task force rncnmmendatinns have been fully imPlr.mented. Therefore. the Uepartmenl has detrnnincd that it would br duphr.ali•c to require the filing mf individual Notices of Intent in each mull.-Imhty for each application of herbicides to rights of way. R. Adeniuncv or Setback from Wetlands. The UFA rights of way angulations prohibit applicatinn of her'otrides on or within len feet of wellands and slnr.11y limit herbicide nppllcation from ten feet to 100 feel of w011allds. Manv commentators questioned tile. adequacy of these setback requirements and suggested that a 50 or IUo fnot no spray zone would be more appropriate. Several commentators suggested that tire pruposed setback rrquircntents were iocmtsislent with the Department's adjudicatory hearing decisinn in the Clinton and Leverelt cases. ' The no spray zone surrenmding wetlands is necessary for three re.ason.s: to compensate for mapping errors, to compensate for applicator errors and to assure that herbicides will lint mtgrale into wetlands after Ipphcrtioti on the adjacent uplands. During the public common I period. the Uepartnienl rcr.nived no evidence demonstrating that tile. len-foul setback estnilishcd in the DFA regulations will not be adequate. The DFA regulations establish a procedure for selecting a limited number of herbicides that may be applied in the. himled spray zone (from 10 to too feet from wetlands) which is adjacent to the no spray ' zone. Herbicides that will he selected for use in these limited spray zones under the UFA regulation are: Iltose which available data delimelsll'ate will not migrate further than jell feel. The applicators have argued that they can maintain a level of acrurncy in clapping of wetlnnds.and in application of herbicides to assure That harhictdcs will not be inadvertently applied within len feel of wetland areas. the Department is not convinced that these claims are rmreasnnable: nthe.however, in order to confirm their accuracy, the Department has included in Thr. final regulations an automatic expiration dale two years from the air Clive dale. which is eolenuinous with the e.xpiralion date of the UFA regulations. During the two-year effective period of these regulations. the Departumnl r.xpects ' applicators to conduct studies monitoring herbicide application operations and to submit a report concerning impacts of herbicide application on wetlands under these new regulations detailing the accuracy of wellands mapping• the accuracy of herbicide application. and the. extent of herbicide migration. The results of this study will provide a basis for reconullendalion by the. Department for amrndmen is to the UFA regulations and a decision on reauthorization of these amendments to the Department's wetland rcgulatinns. Finally, the Department does not find lire. setbacks requirements estahlishcd in tiro DFA regulation la be inconsistent with its decision in the Clinton and Leverett cases. In that decision. line. Department assumed a worst-rase. nnalc5is in leans of an herbicide known to be highly mobile which was bpplicd In the track and ballast areas adjacent to wellands. The Unpnrtnrnt found. hosed nn ' the particular facts- of these cases and the particular hi❑hicide ' 11/10/89 310 CMR - 215 310 CMR: UFPARIMENT OF ENVIRONAIFNI'AL PROTECI'IUN t0.00: continued - proposed for application Ilial thr.rn_would be a migration of flet hrrbit.ide trill) the wetlands fmrn application within tile.. 100-foot buffer zone that wnoid he sufficiently concentrated to cause alterations of the wetlands planes.

Ur^ cooumr. otitor expressed concern regarding the impact of herbicide 1111111cr':nn rot wildlife hobilat in wetlands, and particularly on the habilnt of rare. "seals-listed" wildlife species. As disrussrd above. the U011artmrnt has determined Ilial lie ' UFA regulations provide for protection of wetlands from alternlinns due In herbicide application. Homwer, the OFA regulations do not include flumdpinills in their definition of wetlands. although those regulations do Prultihil hr.rhir.idr. application within 10 feet bf any .standing or flowing surface water. Ihryond ' that. there is no specific protection of wildlife habitat, including rare sprcics. in floodplain areas.
