The purpose of these regulations is for the use of herbicides, as ' allowed, for the maintenance of the ROW. Sensitive areas as they pertain to the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (MWPA) MGL Chapter 131, Section 40, include: ' (a) Any bank, the ocean any freshwater wetland, any estuary any coastal wetland, any creek ' any beach, bordering on any river any dune, any stream any flat any pond ' any marsh, or any Jake or any swamp (b) Land under any of the water bodies listed above ' (c) Land subject to tidal action ' Marking System Used to Identify Sensitive Areas in Field 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. Specific ' railroad ties and rails were painted according to the following color scheme: Request for a Determination ' of Applicability for H&M Rai/road Page 2 of 3 ' Yellow - limits of No Spray Zone. Represents a point on the railroad tracks that is a minimum 10 feet away from an area subject to protection under the MWPA 310 ' CMR 10.02 (1) (a)-(e) (bordering vegetated wetlands, streams, ponds, etc.). ' No spraying is allowed between the yellow ties. 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. In the restricted spray zones, herbicides can only be applied selectively by low pressure (<60 psi) foliar application or stem application. 1 White - sensitive area warning marker. 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 3 for further explanation. DRAINAGE DITCHES ' One of the most important components of the Railroad ROW is the drainage ditches which parallel the roadbed on each side of the shoulder. Rapid drainage of stormwater ' away from the roadbed is essential to insure that the structural integrity of the roadbed ' is maintained. If saturation of the ground below the roadbed were to occur, the weight of trains would cause the roadbed to sink into the underlying mud, which would most likely cause damage to the track sections and reduce the stability of the passing rail ' traffic, potentially resulting in a train derailment. Therefore, the roadbed is designed to allow for quick stormwater drainage. Stormwater can pass easily through the coarse 1 Request for a Determination ' of Applicability for B&M Rai/road Page 3 of 3 traprock ballast, if it is maintained free of weeds and soil, allowing the runoff to collect in the adjacent drainage ditches and be rapidly carried away from the roadbed. In areas ' where the drainage ditches are not kept free of sediments and vegetation, the ditches ' tend to pond stormwater rather than promote free drainage. This problem is compounded by the fact that many sections of the drainage ditches have developed hydrophytic, or ' water loving, plant communities. ' Drainage ditches exhibiting hydrophytic vegetation and a direct hydraulic connection to a viable wetland, were considered regulated (sensitive) areas and the ' railroad ties were marked accordingly. Drainage ditches not marked as sensitive areas ' shall be maintained by selective application of herbicides. Under no circumstances will herbicides be applied in a drainage ditch if standing water is present, regardless of twhether or not the area was considered non-regulated. 1 _ .

Morris Project Manager KLM/Id cc: Massachusetts Department of Food & Agriculture Boston & Maine Corporation i ' C LEGAL NOTICE Pursuant to the provisions of the Rights-of-Way Management Regulations, 333 CMR 11 .00, in order to apply herbicides to control vegetation along railroad rights-of-way, a 5-year Vegetation Management Plan (VMP) and a Yearly Operational Plan (YOP) must be approved by the Department of Food and Agriculture (DFA). Therefore, notice of receipt of a YOP and procedures for public review is hereby given as required by Section 11 .06(3). A YOP for the Boston & Maine Corporation has been prepared by Environmental Compliance Services, Inc. of Agawam, Massachusetts, and has been submitted to the DFA. Municipalities included in Boston and Maine Corporation's 1994 YOP for treatment of rights-of-way with herbicides are: Andover Ashburnham Athol Ayer Bernardson Billerica Boston Buckland Cambridge Charlemont Chelmsford Chicopee Clinton Conway Danvers Deerfield Easthampton Erving Everett Fitchburg Florida Gardner Greenfield Groton Harvard Hatfield Holyoke Lancaster Lawrence Leominster Littleton Lowell Lunenberg Lynn Lynnfield Malden Medford Melrose Methuen Montague North Adams Northampton Northfield Orange Peabody Phillipston Reading Revere Rowe Royalston Salem Saugus Shelburne Shirley Somerville Springfield Sterling Templeton Tewksbury Tyngsborough Wakefield Waltham Watertown Wendell West Boylston Westford Westminster Whately Williamstown Winchendon Worcester Document No. 7627 l Environmental Compliance Services, Inc. has submitted the following commentary on the B & M Corporation YOP: — • The intended vegetation control program will be consistent with the VMP as approved by the DFA. Herbicides shall be applied to the roadbed by a spray truck in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the VMP and the YOP. The herbicides to be applied, Roundup and Escort, are recommended for use in "sensitive areas" by the Department of Environmental Protection, and the DFA. The herbicides Roundup and Oust shall be applied within free spray areas in the yards only. No herbicides shall be applied within 10 feet of any wetland, water course, or water body, within 400 feet of any municipal water supply well, within 100 feet of any surface water utilized as a public water supply, or within 50 feet of any private drinking water supply well (pursuant to 333 CMR 11 .04: Sensitive Area Restrictions). Applications of herbicide shall commence after the approval of the YOP by the DFA, following public review and comment. Estimated commencement of the spray program is June, 1994. A touchup application using Roundup herbicide is expected to occur between mid-July and mid-August, 1994. The YOP contains: maps locating rights-of-way and sensitive areas; the name of the herbicide proposed for use, including application rates, carriers and adjuvants; application techniques and alternative control measures; material safety data sheets and herbicide fact sheets as approved by the DFA; the names of the applicator and YOP supervisor; methods used to identify and mark sensitive areas on the right-of-way; procedures for handling, mixing, and loading of herbicides; and identification of target vegetation in accordance with 333 CMR 11 .06(2). Additionally, the YOP contains emergency/contingency measures and local, state and federal emergency contact telephone numbers. Public Review The DFA in particular seeks the verification of sensitive area locations reported in the YOP. The DFA 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, however, have most of this information readily available, and the particular knowledge with which to better certify the sensitive areas in their communities. Therefore, the DFA 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: • 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 municipality where herbicides are to be applied along Document No. 7627 the rights-of-way during the calendar year 1994. Municipal agencies and officials will have forty-five (45) days following receipt of the YOP to review _ the maps contained in the document that indicates 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 areas locations as indicated 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 at the address listed below within the forty-five (45) day review period. If a city or town needs 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 additional 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 DFA 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 DFA and to the city/town which requested the disputed changes within fifteen (15) days of receipt of that request. The DFA will decide whether or not the YOP should be approved without the requested changes. The final twenty-one (21) days of 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 applicant has an approved VMP and if all necessary modifications to the YOP have been made and approved by the DFA. A failure by the city/town to respond to the applicant's submission of this YOP within the forty-five (45) 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 Legal Notice and the procedures established for the municipal review as outlined above, should be addressed to: Rights-of-Way Program Pesticide Bureau Massachusetts Department of Food and Agriculture 100 Cambridge Street, 21st Floor Boston, MA 02202 Any additional questions or comments on any information provided as part of the proposed YOP, should be addressed in writing to the Boston & Maine Corporation, and a copy should be sent to Ms. Gail Kapriellian or Mr. Paul Gosselin, Rights-of-Way Program, at the address indicated above.

The sensitive area right-of-way maps are available for public review at each of these town/city offices, the DEP regional headquarters, or at the DFA headquarters located at ' 100 Cambridge Street in Boston, Massachusetts. ' 3 Boston and Maine Corporation Pre & Post-Emergent Document No. 7663 1994 Yearly Operational Plan April 25, 1994 ' 3.00 HERBICIDE APPLICATION ' 3.10 - SFLEcTED HERBICIDES ' The proposed herbicide mixture for use along the B&M right-of-way during the 1994 vegetation management schedule will be a combination of Escort and Roundup. A mixture of Oust and Roundup is proposed for use within free spray areas in the rail yards. ' Escort and Oust are registered trade names for herbicides manufactured by E.I. Du Pont ' De Nemours and Company, Agricultural Products, Wilmington, Delaware. The active ingredient in Escort is Metsulfuron methyl. Sulfometuron methyl is the active ingredient in Oust. Roundup is a registered trade name for a herbicide 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 Sheets and Herbicide Fact Sheets prepared by the DFA for Escort, Oust, and Roundup are provided in Appendix C. Escort and Roundup are recommended by the DFA for use in environmentally sensitive areas. 1 1 4 Boston and Maine Corporation Pre & Post-Emergent Document No. 7663 1994 Yearly Operational Plan April 25, 1994 ' 3.20 - APPLICATION RATES, CARRims, AND ADJUVANTS The herbicide mixture to be applied to the sections of the roadbed (track and ballast portion of the right-of-way) depicted in Figure 1, consists of 0.5 to 1 ounce Escort, 3 quarts ' Roundup and 30 gallons of water per acre. Herbicide application in the rail yard shall be at a rate of 3 ounces of Oust, 3 quarts of Roundup and 30 gallons of water per acre. Sample labels for Escort, Oust and Roundup, which provide instructions for proper use and safe handling of ' the herbicides, are 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 ' manufactured by the EXACTO Chemical Company, of McHenry, Illinois. A sample label is ' included in Appendix D. ' 3.30 - BASLS FOR HERBICIDE SELECTION ' Escort 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 ' recommendations are based upon toxicological and mobility studies which demonstrated, that if ' these herbicides are applied in accordance with manufacturers instructions, they are relatively immobile upon application. ' Oust was chosen due to its effectiveness as a pre-emergent herbicide. 5 ' Boston and Maine Corporation Pre & Post-Emergent Document No. 7663 ' 1994 Yearly Operational Plan April 25, 1994 ' 3.40 - HERBICIDE APPLICATION ncmgIOUES 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. No herbicides will be applied in the Zone II aquifer protection zones in 1994 as these areas were sprayed in 1993. ' A by-rail truck fitted with spray booms shall be utilized to apply herbicides along the ' B&M ROW and 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 zones used by B&M. ' 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. 6 1 tBoston and Maine Corporation Pre & Post-Emergent Document No. 7663 ' 1994 Yearly Operational Plan April 25, 1994 ' 3.50 - HERBICIDE APPLICATION ScEu)uLE 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 1994. 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 additional application. Of special note is 11.03 (8)(c) which states "No more than 10% of the initially identified target vegetation on the applicant's right-of-way in any municipality may be treated and the total amount of herbicide ' applied in any year shall not exceed the limits specified by the label or Yearly Operational Plan." Phase II application is scheduled to occur between mid-July and mid-August 1994. 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 ample time to complete the task. No herbicides shall be applied on days when precipitation is forecasted or when wind 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. 1 ' 7 Boston and Maine Corporation Pre & Post-Emergent Document No. 7663 ' 1994 Yearly Operational Plan April 25, 1994 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 wackers) 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. 8 Boston and Maine Corporation Pre & Post-Emergent Document No. 7663 ' 1994 Yearly Operational Plan April 25, 1994 3.70 - LICENSED APPLICATOR B&M has contracted with Railroad Weed Control, Inc.

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 10 Boston and Maine Corporation Pre & Post-Emergent Document No. 7663 ' 1994 Yearly Operational Plan April 25, 1994 ' 5.00 SENSITIVE AREAS 5.10 - AREAS OF CONCERN tSensitive areas pursuant to 333 CMR 11.00 include the following: ' a. Wetlands b. Watercourses c. Standing water bodies t 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 a above were identified in the field and railroad ties were marked with the appropriate colors to delineate the limits and the limits of the restricted spray and no spray zones. See Section 5.3 for the color coding system used. ' Zone II aquifer recharge protection areas for public water supply wells were identified ' from approved DEP Aquifer Protection Maps, when available, and from local communities ' and/or the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). If maps are unavailable, the area within a one-half (1/2) mile radius of a municipal well is considered tregulated as per 310 CMR 11.02. Agricultural and inhabited areas are identified in the field by ' the applicator and spotter vehicle as spraying occurs. 11 Boston and Maine Corporation Pre & Post-Emergent Document No. 7663 ' 1994 Yearly Operational Plan April 25, 1994 ' 5.20 - SENSITIVE AREA DF.LDmATION 5.21 - Wetlands. Watercourses. and Waterbodies Wetlands, watercourses, and standing waterbodies 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 Wetlands ' 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.". From the boundary of the resource area, ten (10) foot "no-spray" zones and 100 foot "restricted " spray zones were marked along the roadbed. A Request for Determination of Applicability was filed with the Conservation Commissions of each affected community for the verification of the resource boundaries. 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 track maps for each affected community. This data is updated each year prior to the submission of that years YOP. Public water supplies were located in the field, and appropriate no-spray and ' aquifer protection areas (Zone II) setbacks were marked. No herbicides shall be applied in Zone 12 Boston and Maine Corporation Pre & Post-Emergent Document No. 7663 ' 1994 Yearly Operational Plan April 25, 1994 ' II aquifer protection areas in 1994, as they were sprayed in 1993. The marking system utilized by B&M will be discussed in detail in Section 5.30. and is depicted in Figures 2, 3, and 4. ' 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 herbicides ' shall be applied between 50 and 100 feet of any private drinking water supply except using low pressure foliar or stem applications with a minimum of 24 months between applications. No ' herbicides shall be applied in this buffer in 1994 as they were treated in 1993. ' 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. 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 track maps. Records concerning private well locations are ' continually updated with the DFA and incorporated into each years YOP. 1 13 Boston and Maine Corporation Pre & Post-Emergent Document No. 7663 1994 Yearly Operational Plan April 25, 1994 ' 5.30 - SENSITIVE AREAS MARKING SYSTEM An approved 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 marked 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. 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 (<60 psi) foliar or stem application. ' 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 except when entering or leaving Zone II aquifer recharge areas where they are adjacent to a red 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 ' zone maps. Zone II aquifer recharge protection areas were marked in the field using red markings as shown in Figure 4. 14 ' Boston and Maine Corporation Pre & Post-Emergent Document No. 7663 ' 1994 Yearly Operational Plan April 25, 1994 ' 6.00 HERBICIDE HANDLING AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES 6.10 - HANDLING. MLIaNG, 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 herbicides shall be consistent with the labeling instructions included ' on the container label. See Appendix D for sample labels of Escort, Oust, 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. 15 ' Boston and Maine Corporation Pre & Post-Emergent Document No. 7663 1 1994 Yearly Operational Plan April 25, 1994 ' 6.20 - El mGwicY/CoNnNGENCY MEAsuBEs 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 utilizing soil berms whenever possible. Absorbent materials and/or the suction hose will be utilized to pick up the released 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. A complete list of emergency contact persons, agencies, and emergency services is included as Appendix F of this plan. 16 1 Boston and Maine Corporation Pre & Post-Emergent Document No. 7663 ' 1994 Yearly Operational Plan April 25, 1994 ' REFERENCES Vegetation Management Plan for Springfield Terminal Railway Company/Boston & ' Maine Corporation, dated August, 1992, Prepared by Environmental Compliance Services, Inc., Agawam, Massachusetts ' Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, Regional Offices.

COMMON TRADE NAME(S): Oust CHEMICAL NAME N-[4,6-dlmethylpyrimidln-2-yl) amino-carbonyl] -2-methoxycarbonylbenzenesulfonamide CAS NO 74222-97-2 GENERAL INFORMATION Sulfometuron methyl, the active Ingredient in herbicide Oust, is a member of the new group of sulfonylurea herbicides. Sulfometuron Methyl is a broad-spectrum selective weed control agent used in non-crop areas. Oust is applied pre- or post-emergence which provides control against many broad-leaf weeds and grasses through contact and residual activity. (15) ENVIRONMENTAL FATE Mobility The mobility of sulfometuron methyl has been reported in literature and the database available is complete. Sulfometuron methyl is a weak acid (pKa 5.2) and consequently, adsorption coefficients were calculated for various soils at pH values of 5, 6, and 7. In a low organic matter soil (1%) the adsorption coefficients were 2.0, 0.8 and 0.3 at the respective pH values. This study indicates that sulfometuron methyl is more strongly adsorbed to soil as the pH decreased, and as organic matter increases. (15) Soil thin layer chromatography and adsorption coefficients were performed and calculated for four standard soils. K(d) values ranged from 0.71 to 2.85 and Rf values ranged from 0.33 to 0.85 indicated a moderate mobility. in addition, soil column studies using the same four soils indicate a moderate to moderately high mobility pesticide. K(oc) values calculated from the soil K(d) values range from 61 to 122 which is lower than the EPA guideline of 400. (101) In a field mobility study, sulfometuron methyl was applied to soil tubes in five locations (delawar e, North Carolina, Oregon, Colorado, and Saskatchewan, Canada) at a rate of 1 Ib. a.i./Acre. There was no report of rainfall at these sites. Each application at a different time making it 1 RPR 27 '94 19:49RM DEPT FOOD&AGRICULTURE P,3 ' difficult to compare results, Samples were taken for a minimum of a year and at some for two years, and at 8 cm (3 in) intervals to 32 cm (12 inches). Results indicate that sulfometuron methyl is moderately mobile under most conditions. One surprising fact is that immediately after application, all locations had detectable residues in a layer below the top layer of soil, and in two locations (Colorado and Oregon) in the deepest layer sampled. All locations except Delaware also had detectable residues at the 24-32 cm layer at other times during the study. There are also indications that sulfometuron methyl would leach ■� further than the deepest soil layer which was sampled. (102) ') Persistence Sulfometuron methyl is degraded by microbial action, photo-decomposition and by hydrolysis at acidic pH's. The photolysis half-life on soil is between 1 to 2 weeks and in distilled water, approximately 160 hours. The hydrolysis half-life at pH 2 and 5 is 100 and 475 hours respectively. At neutral or basic pH's, sulfometuron methyl is stable to hydrolysis. (15, 100, 101) Reports indicate that the overall rate of sulfometuron methyl degradation in soil depends on pH and soil moisture content. Half-lives of one week were reported under laboratory conditions, but field studies at neutral pH revealed greater persistence. Increased soil moisture content resulted in increased degradation rates, but only approximately 10%. (15, 101) The soil half-life is reported as four weeks with longer times in colder conditions. A review of available studies, however reveals that the shortest half-life was six weeks in Delaware. In the same study the half-life ranged from six weeks to one year in Oregon. (15, 102) The reported half-life of four weeks is relatively short and would not be cause for concern. However, it seems evident that in most circumstances it may be significantly longer. In all cases reported in this study, the half-fife was six weeks or longer and a more realistic estimate may be closer to two months. Another point discussed in the literature is the lack of any significant degradation during the cold periods of the year. Applications in the late fall could lead to longer half-lives and thereby more potential for increased leaching. The field study discusses the faster degradation rates of sulfometuron methyl in a=the east as possibly attributable to the more acidic and moister soils In the east, This is certainly true and may in fact have contributed to shorter half-lives, but a point which is not discussed was the timing of the applications. The two western sites were treated in early to mid-July, whereas the western sites were treated in the fall. Saskatchewan was treated in,late July, but the climate at that location is cooler and becomes much colder. TOXICITY REVIEW Acute (Mamm9gAr RPR 27 '94 10:50RM DEPT FOOD&AGRICULTUP.E P,4 SULFOMETURON METHYL FACT SHEET Five animals per sex per group were gavaged with sulfometuron methyl suspended in corn oil at a dosage of 5,000 mg/kg. Gross pathological examination revealed slight weight increase in the lungs that were pale red with grey foci in males and similar lung effects in one female. In addition, four females had a pink thymus and one had a slight liver weight. The oral LD50 in male and female ChR-CD rats was determined to be greater than 5,000 mg/kg. (110) The inhalation LC50 was tested In groups of five male and five female CrI:CD rats. Rats were exposed to control air or test concentrations of either 6.4 or 11 mg/L. There were no clinical or pathological differences between controls or test groups. The inhalation LC50 was greater than 5.0 mg/L (111) while sulfometuron methyl was tested at 6.4 and 11 mg/L. The EPA cutoff for LC50 concentration is 5 mg/L. Acute skin absorption LD50 tests were performed on five male and five female New Zealand white rabbits. Doses of 2,000 mg/kg of pesticide were applied to abraded skin on the back of the rabbit. Clinical signs in males were sporadic weight loss, slight erythema 1 to 2 days after treatment and diarrhea at 11 days. Gross pathological examination showed no changes due to the test material. The dermal LD50 in rabbits was greater than 2,000 mg/kg. (112) In a separate acute dermal LD50 test, four groups of five adult male and one group of five adult female which New Zealand rabbits were used. Groups of males were dosed at the following levels; 1,500 mg/kg, 2,000 mg/kg, and 8,000 mg/kg and the females were dosed at 2,000 mg/kg. Clinical signs in all the groups of males were moderate to mild redness and sporadic weight loss. The animals in the two highest dose experienced mild swelling, the 2,000 mg/kg group showed moderate swelling while the 1,500 mg/kg group had slight swelling. Clinical signs in the females were severe to mild redness, severe to slight swelling and sporadic weight loss. There were no compound related pathological observations. There was one death in the male 2,000 kg/mg group, but it was not believed to be related to the compound. The LD50 for the acute skin absorption in rabbits was greater than 2,000 mg/kg. (116) Eye irritation studies were performed by placing 10 mg of solid test material in the conjunctival ac of each of two albino rabbits. There were no corneal or iritic effect. However, there was redness (1 hour to 1 day; not washed eyes and mild for 1 hour unwashed eyes); swelling (1 to 4 hours unwashed eyes) and no discharge was observed. Both washed and unwashed eyes were normal within 1 to 2 days. (113) In guinea pigs, both primary skin irritation and sensitization tests were run. Ten animals per group were exposed to 0.05 ml of either a 50% or a 5% suspension of sulfometuron methyl. The 50% suspension showed mild to no skin irritation response in 24 hours and no irritation at 48 hours. The 5% suspension reproduced no skin irritation. There was no sensitization response. (114) AUGUST 1991 3 Pck =r' '94 10:51RM DEPT FOOD&AGRICULTURE P.s SULFOMETURON METHYL FACT SHEET The oral LD50 test was conducted with the formulation using young male and female adult -- CrI:CD rats, five rats per group. 5,000 mg/kg was administered by gavage in a 25%suspension in corn oil. The only clinical finding was alopecia in males. Gross pathological examination t showed in both males and females slightly heavy lungs that were pale to pale red with red to dark red foci and white mottling in 1 to 3 animals. The LD50 is greater than 5,000 mg/kg. Additionally in a range finding study, no mortalities were seen in doses from up to 7,500 mg/kg. (115) Nine male albino rabbits were tested for eye irritation studies. The right eyes were treated with 0.1 ml (61.8 mg) of test material. The left eyes served as untreated controls. Results indicated a transient localized area of slight corneal cloudiness in 2 of the 6 unwashed eyes. The eyes returned to normal in 2 to 3 days. Two of the three eyes treated and washed showed a transient localized area slight corneal cloudiness and mild conjunctivitis with no iritic effects. The washed eyes returned to normal within 3 to 4 days. This compound was considered a slight to mild irritant. (117) Skin irritation tests were conducted on six male albino rabbits. Doses of 0.5 g of solid pesticide (moistened with saline) were applied to two intact and two abraded skin areas on each rabbit. Each rabbit serves as its own control;treated areas were compared to adjacent untreated areas. Observations and scoring were done by the method of Draize (I 18) and at 24 and 72 hours after exposure. The compound was not found to be a primary irritant on either intact or abraded skin of rabbits. (119) Primary skin irritation tests were performed on ten guinea pigs. The procedure was the same as used in testing the technical sulfometuron methyl. Doses of 0.05 ml of a 50% suspension of the pesticide In dimethyl phthalate was used. The 50% suspension caused mild to no irritation in five of the animals. No irritation was caused by the 5% suspension. No sensitization response was observed. (120) ,Subchronic and Chronic Studies (Mammallan) Male and female CD-1 mice were fed diets to which had been added 0, 100, 1,000, or 7,500 ppm (0, 13.3, 133, or 997 mg,/kg) (a) sulfometuron methyl for 90 days. Hematological evaluations were conducted on all mice (tail cut bleeding at approximately 1, 2 and 3 months after study initiation. All mice were sacrificed and necropsied at 90 days. Organs were weighed and examined histologically. Male mice fed the diet containing 7,500 ppm pesticide showed reduced mean body weights and weight gains. Growth of the 100 and 1,000 ppm groups of males and all treated females was the same as that in the control group. No mortalities occurred. (121) Hemolytic effects were seen as a result of dietary exposure to sulfometuron methyl in all groups. Significant increases in leukocyte count were found in the 7,500 ppm (997 mg/kg) males. There AUGUST 1991 4 APR 27 '94 10:52AM DEPT FOOD&AGRICULTURE P.6 ' SULFOMETURON METHYL FACT SHEET were statistically significant changes in other blood parameters that were not does related. Mean absolute and relative liver weights were elevated in all male treatment groups. Histological examination revealed bile stasis in five of ten males in the 7,500 ppm group. In the females, a t slight increase in relative liver weight and increased hepatocellular cytoplasmic granularity was observed. Decreases in both mean and relative thymus weights were observed in all treated male groups. Thymic cortical atrophy occurred in three males in the 7,500 ppm group and one ' male in the 100 ppm group. Because of low frequency of occurrence 7,500 and 100 ppm and absence in the 1,000 ppm group, the thymic cortical atrophy is not considered to be related to the decreased thymus wrights. Based on the observed hemolytic effect, there was no NOEL ' from this study. In a second mouse study, five groups of 80 males and 80 female Crl:CD-1(1CR)BR mice were ' fed diets containing one of the following concentrations of sulfometuron methyl: 0. 5, 20, 100, or 1,000 ppm (0, 0.66, 2.66, 13.3, 133 mg/kg) for 18 months. Food consumption was monitored throughout the study, mice were weighted and hematological evaluations were performed at ' regular intervals. At 18 months,mice were sacrificed and necropsied. Mean body weights and mean body weight gains in all treatment groups except for the 1,000 ppm female group were comparable to control groups. Sporadic changes in weight gain were observed in that group. 1 ' (a) In these discussions the assumptions made for conversion of ppm (diet) to mg/kg/D were: ' SPECIES BODYWEIGHT (kg) INTAKE Mg) Rat 0.35 0.020 ' Mouse 0.03 0.004 Dog 10 0.4 ' (133) When data was presented as ppm the does was estimated in mg/kg and is presented in parenthesis. t Mild anemia was observed in the female 1,000 ppm group as evidenced by statistically significant decreases in erythrocyte count, hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit. There was also a significant increase in mean corpuscular volume and platelet count. While the hematological ' results appear to differ from those in the 90 day mouse study, the data indicate that there were several statistically significant changes in some blood parameters at the three month (90 day) sampling time which were not apparent at other sampling times. However, although reticulocyte ' smears were made, they were not evaluated and it cannot be ascertained that a response to a ' AUGUST 1991 5 RPR 27 '94 10:50-AM DEPT FOOD&RGRICULTURE P.7 ' SULFOMETURON METHYL FACT SHEET ' hemolytic effect actually occurred. If it did, a NOEL in this strain of mice for a hemolytic effect at 90 days in the 18 month study would be 5 ppm. There was a non-dose related but, statistically significant increase in the incidence of amyloidosis in the female 1,000 ppm groups, ' but no specific target organ was identified. The overall NOEL for dietary intake of suifometuron methyl for male and female mice was 1,000 ppm (133 mg/kg) and 100 ppm (13.3 mg/kg) respectively under the conditions of this study based on body weight, body weight gain, clinical tpathology and pathological findings. (124) Groups of 16 male and 16 female CD rats were fed diets containing 0, 100, 1,000, 5,000 ppm ' (0, 5,7 57, 285 mg/kg) sulfometuron methyl. At 1, 2 and 3 months after the study initiation, hematological, urological and clinical chemistry evaluations were performed. At the end of the ' study, ten rats from each group were sacrificed and evaluated pathologically. There were no differences between treatments and controls in body weight, weight gain, food consumption and food efficiency. There were no mortalities. The only clinical sign observed was alopecia in three males in the 100 ppm group. The male 5,000 ppm treatment group showed slightly elevated mean leukocyte counts, increased mean relative number of lymphocytes and decreased mean relative number of neutrophils. Due to the effects of white blood cells in male 5,000 ppm group, tthe NOEL dietary concentration 1 this study was 1 poo ppm (56 mg/kg/D). (122) ' Four groups of five male and five female New Zealand white rabbits were dermally exposed to either 1, 125, 500, or 2,000 mg/kg, six hours per day for 21 consecutive days. After the exposure period, three male and three female rabbits per group were sacrificed for pathological evaluation. The remaining two males and two females from each group were sacrificed and ' evaluated pathologically following a two week recovery period. Clinical signs observed in rabbits from all test groups including controls were sporadic weight loss and diarrhea. Histopathological and clinical pathological examination showed no compound-related effects. One rabbit did after the eighth dose from causes not related to the test substance. (123) ' Groups of 80 male and 80 female CrI;CD (SD) BA rates were fed diets containing 0, 50, 500 or 5,000 ppm (0, .8, 28.5, or 285 mg/kg) sulfometuron methyl for approximately two ye rars. Hematological, clinical chemistry and urological testing was conducted a 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 ' months. After 12 months, ten male and ten female rats per group were randomly selected, sacrificed and pathologically examined. At 24 months, all surviving rats were sacrificed, necropsied, and examined pathologically. ' In the female 5,000 ppm group, food consumption throughout the study was slightly depressed and overall mean weight gain during the first year and mean body weights during the second ' year were significantly depressed. There were no abnormalities in appearance or behavior observed during the study. Decreased erythrocyte count and hematocrit in the male 500 and 5,000 ppm groups were ' AUGUST 1991 6 RPR 27 '94 10:55AM DEPT FOOD&AGRICULTURE P.e ' SULFOMETURON METHYL FACT SHEET ' observed at the 24 month clinical evaluation suggesting a minimal dcse-related hemolytic effect. There were no other compound related hematological, clinical chemistry or urological abnormalities observed. Mean absolute brain weights were significantly lower in the male 5,000 ' ppm group at both one and two sacrifice times. However, no abnormal gross or histological observation were noted. Mean relative and absolute thymus weight of the 500 and 5,000 ppm males was decreased compared to controls at terminal sacrifice. Man testes weights of rats in ' the 5600 and 5,000 ppm groups were less than controls. Histological examinations revealed dose-dependent increases in the incidence of bile duct ' hyperplasia and fibrosis in the female 500 and 5,000 ppm groups at the two year sacrifice. Severity of the lesions were minimal to mild, suggesting a slightly toxic effect of suifometuron methyl on the livers of these female rats. ' The NOEL in this strain of rat under these study conditions was 50 ppm (2.8 mg/kg/D). (125) Groups of six male and six female dogs (aged 4 to 5 months) were fed diets containing 1, 200, 1,000, or 5,000 ppm (0, 8, 40, 200 mg/kg) of sulfometuron methyl. Hematological, clinical, chemistry, and urological testing was performed at one and two months prior to and at one, three, six, nine, and twelve months after initiation of the study. At 12 months, the dogs were sacrificed and examined histopathologically. There were no differences between treatments and controls in mean body weight, weight gain, ' food consumption and food efficiency (kg body weight gained/kg food consumed). There were no abnormalities observed in either appearance or behavior and no deaths occurred during the course of the study. A mild hemolytic anemia was diagnosed in the 5,000 ppm males and the 1,000 and 5,000 ppm females. Statistically significant dose-related decreases in erythrocyte counts, hematocrit and hemoglobin were observed. in the female 1,000 and 5,000 ppm groups, elevated mean corpuscular hemoglobin occurred and increased hemosiderin deposition in the spleens of the 5,000 ppm females was observed. Several statistically significant changes in blood chemistry indices occurred in the 1,000 and 5,000 ppm groups. An increase in serum alkaline phosphatase activity was observed in both the male and female 5,000 ppm groups. The female 5,000 ppm group showed an increase in serum cholesterol levels. Serum albumin levels decreased in the male 1,000 and 5,000,ppm group. These changes were not considered ' biologically significant due to the relative magnitude of the changes, the absence of alterations in other clinical indices and the absence of compound dependent histomorphological abnormalities. All histological changes were unremarkable. These effects occurred with similar frequencies in treatments and controls and were not considered to be compound related.

Crl: CD-1 (1 CR) BR mice received 0, 5, 20, 100, or 1,000 ppm sutfometuron in the diet of 18 months. There were no compound related increases in tumor incidence (124). CRL:CD (SD) BR rats received 0, 50, 500, or 5,000 ppm sulfometuron in the diet for two years. There was no increase in frequency of occurrence of tumors in these rats (125). Sulfometuron methyl is not carcinogenic in rats and mice under these conditions. ' Mutagenicity Testing ' The Ames Salmonella/microsome assay tested the ability of Sulfometuron methyl to revert four strains of Salmonellatyphimurium from histidine dependence to histidine independence. The assay was performed both with and without a rat liver homogenate (S-9) activation system. The test substance was found not to be mutagenic for these strains of bacteria under the test conditions at doses from 2.5 to 1,000 mg/plate. (129) ' Frequency of chromosome aberrations was tested in CHO cells both with and without metabolic activation (S-9). The doses tested ranged from 300 ug/mi to 10 ng/ml in a half log series. No increase in chromosome aberrations was observed in culture exposed under the test conditions ' to these concentrations of the test material. (130) The CHO cell line was used to test mutations in the gene coding for the enzyme hypoxanthine- guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HGPRT) both in the presence and absence of an activation (S-9) system. Concentration of the test material ranged from 0 to .1 mM. No mutagenic activity was detected. (131) The ability of sulfometuron methyl to induce unscheduled DNA (UDS)synthesis in freshly isolated ' rat hepatocytes was tested. Concentrations of test material ranged for 1 X 10 -5 to 1.0 mm in half log increments. Under these test conditions, no induction of UDS was detected. (132) ' Developmental Studies Groups of 17 female artificially inseminated rabbits wee gavaged with test material on days 6 to ' 18 of gestation. Dosage levels were 0, 30, 100, and 300 mg/kg suspended in 0.5% methylcellulose in water. Animals were sacrificed on day 29 of gestation and fetuses wee removed by cesarean section. No treatment-related effects were observed in the maternal clinical observations or gross pathology. There were no statistically significant differences AUGUST 1991 8 a APR 27 '94 10:57AM DEPT FOOD&AGRICULTURE F. 10 SULFOMETURON METHYL FACT SHEET ' between control and treatment groups in any of the other parameters measured (maternal body -- weight changes, clinical observations, survival, gross pathology pregnancy rates, numbers and percentages of corpora lutea, implantations, resorptions in each maternal animal, fetal sex, ' viability and development). Under the conditions of this study, suffometuron methyl was not considered to be teratogenic in New Zealand white rabbits. (127) A teratology study was conducted using female Crl:CD (5R) BR rats which were fed a diet containing sulfometuron methyl. Concentrations of 0, 50, 1,000, and 5,000 ppm were used. Thirty-five rats were used as controls, 25 rats were assigned to the 50 and 1,000 ppm group and ' 15 rats were assigned to the 5,000 ppm group. Rats were fed the test diet on days 6 to 15 of gestation and sacrificed on day 21 of gestation for gross and histological examination. (128) ' Rats on the highest dose level gained significantly less weight and ate significantly less feed than controls. The fetuses of this exposure group weighted significantly less than those of the control dams. No other adverse effects were noted in the lower exposure groups. No teratogenicity ' was demonstrated in this study. The minimum effect level of maternal toxicity and embryofetal toxicity was 5,000 ppm (286 mg/kg) and the NOEL under these study conditions was 1,000 ppm (57 mg/kg). (128) Reproductive studies were performed in conjunction with the 90 day feeding ' study in rats and the two year feeding study in rats. In the 90 day feeding study (122), six male and six female rats which had been fed diets ' obtaining 0, 100, 1,000, and 5,000 ppm of sulfometuron methyl (for 90 days) were mated and delivered litters. No adverse effects were observed as indicated by fertility, gestation, viability and lactation Indies. In addition, there wee no differences between treatment and controls in the mean body weights and survival of weaning pups. ' In the two year feeding study (125), 20 rats per group were used in a two generation, four litter reproduction study, initiated 90 days after the start of the long-term feeding study. Fo rats were mated. Females were allowed to give birth and Fla pups wee followed until weaning (21 days) at which time they were sacrificed. Fo females wee again mated, but to different Fo males. Fib pups were delivered and observed. At weaning, 20 males and 20 females were selected from each dietary level (0, 50, 500, and 5,000 ppm) and continued on the treatment for 90 days. Fib rats were bred twice within their respective group, producing Fla and F2b litters. Ten males and ten females from the F2b litters were sacrificed and examined histologically. (125) During the 90 day feeding period for Fib rats, body weight and diet consumption were 1 decreased in the female 5,000 ppm group. The number of pus born and the number.of pups born alive to the 5,000 ppm groups was consistently lower in both the F1 and F2 generations ' and was statistically significant for F2b litters. Decreased pup counts may reflect the general health status of the mother as evidenced by decreased body weight and diet consumption of the Fib 5,000 ppm group. No gross or histopathological changes or effects on organ weights ' were observed in the weaned F2b rats. The NOEL established, based on this sub-study was ' AUGUST 1991 9 APR 27 '94 10:52AM DEPT FOOD&AGRICULTURE P. 11 ' SULFOMETURON METHYL FACT SHEET 500 ppm (28 mg/kg). (125) Avian Toxicttv Sulfometuron methyl has been tested in the bobwhite qual and the mallard duck. The 8 day dietary LC50's were greater than 5,620 and 5,000 ppm respectively. The acute oral LD50 in the mallard duck was greater than 5,000 mg/kg. (101) Invertebrate Toxicity The aquatic invertebrate, Daphnia magna was tested ant he 48 hour LC50 was greater than 12.5 ppm sulfometuron methyl. (15) Aquatic Toxicity ' Species tested on the aquatic toxicity studies include bluegill sunfish (96 hour) and rainbow trout (96 hour). In both cases the LC50 was greater than 12.5 ppm. ' A life stage study was done using the fathead minnow. There wee no effects observed on embryo hatch, larval survival or growth at concentrations of 1.2 mg/L or less. (15) SUMMARY Sulfometuron methyl is a material both moderately mobile and moderately persistent would be appropriate for use In sensitive areas. A closer look at the material however, reveals that the Oust is applied at the average rate of five ounces of product (3.75 oz a.i.)/acre or 106 grams ' per acre. These studies were conducted with applications of 1 Ib a.i./acre. The lower application rates both minimize the persistence of sulfometuron methyl in soil and thereby diminish the amount of material which is available to leach through the soil. Therefore, ' sulfometuron may be used if the application rates are kept sufficiently low. This is because the soil organic material and soil microorganisms are able to absorb and degrade lower rates of pesticides. The oral LD50 in rats for sulfometuron methyl is greater than 5,000 mg/kg and the dermal LD50 is greater than 2,000 mg/kg in rabbits. The sub-chronic and chronic NOELS are 50 ppm (2.8 mg/kg/D) In rates; 200 ppm (i mg/kg/D) in dogs; and 5 ppm (0.66 mg/kg/D) at 90 days for the reversible hemolytic effect and 100 ppm (13.3 mg/kg/D) at two years in the mouse. This makes the mouse at 90 days the most sensitive species with a transient hemolytic effect, to sulfometuron methyl exposure.

No skin allergy was observed In guinea pigs following repeated skin exposure. There was no evidence of effects on the nervous system, Including delayed effects In chickens (repeat oral doses) or cholinesterase inhibition in rats (single oral doses). Reduced body weight gain and effects on liver tissues were observed with long-tens (2-year) feeding of glyphosate to mice at high-dose levels. Reduced body weight gain and eye changes were observed at the high-dose ' level in one long-term (2 year) feeding study with rats, while no treatment-related effects occurred In a second study. No adverse effects were observed in feeding studies with dogs. Glyphosate did not produce tumors in any of these studies. Based on the results from the chronic studies, EPA has classified glyphosate in category E (evidence of non-carcinogenicity for humans). No birth ' defects were noted In rats and rabbits given glyphosate orally during pregnancy, even at amounts which produced adverse effects on the mothers. Glyphosate was fed continuously to rats at very high dose levels for 2 successive generations. Toxicity was reported in offspring from the high dose, a level which also produced adverse effects on the mothers. In a 3 generation study conducted at lower dose levels, no effects were seen on the ability of male or female rats to reproduce. Glyphosate has produced no genetic changes in a variety of standard tests using animals and animal or bacterial cells.

METSULFURON METHYL Common Trade Names: Escort, Ally (2) Chemical Name: Methyl 2 CCC[(4-Methoxy-6-methyl-1 ,3,5-Triazin-2-yl) ' amino]carbonyl] 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 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 methyl was applied to tops of 12 inch columns Ccontaining 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). PUBLICATION #16,073-7-75-10-89-C.R. APPROVED BY: RIC MURPHY, PURCHASING AGENT ' 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 studies indicate a somewhat contradictory picture of the persistence of Metsulfuron methyl . ' The soil half-lives in Delaware, North Carolina, Mississippi and Florida were 1 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 subchrnnic, 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 decrease in cytoplasmic clearing of hepatocytes in the males the NOEL in this study was 1000 ppm (104). The 90 day mouse study was done to 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- ficed 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 rabbits. These eff. cts 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). t ' 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/D 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 rat study; 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 Testin 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(SD) BR 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 Pl 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, F2a, or F2b litters. The gestation index was 100% for all groups in both filial generations with the exception of F2a 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 FIB 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 F2a 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) . 1 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 IV for all other acute expo- sures. The chronic studies indicate no oncogenicity 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. - REFERENCES 2.

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 OOW (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 MURPi•:Y, PURCHASING AGENT l • l 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 reale 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). ' 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 ng/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 LD50 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) . 1 Aquatic Species (Fish) 1 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 blueoill (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 mo/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 .

This VMP has been reviewed and approved by the Massachusetts Department of Agriculture Resources (DAR). A copy of the VMP has be sent,via certified mail, to the Board of Health, Conservation Commission, and chief elected municipal official in each community covered by the VMP. As per the Pesticide Board of Regulations 333 CMR 11.00, there is a 45-day review and comment period on the VMP. We are presently updating wetland resource area boundaries with communities in which the railroad rights-of—ways passes through. If you should have any questions concerning the above matter, please contact our office at your convenience. Sine rely Keith Morn Environmental Consultant cc: Massachusetts Department of Agriculture Resources Boston&Maine Corporation Legal Notice Pursuant to the provisions of the Rights-of-Way Management Regulations, 333 CMR 11.00, in order to apply herbicides to control vegetation along railroad rights-of-way, a 5 year Vegetation Management Plan (VMP) and a Yearly Operational Plan (YOP) must be approved by the Department of Agricultural Resources (DAR). Therefore, notice of receipt of a YOP and procedures for public review is hereby given, as required by Section 11.06(3). A YOP for the Boston and Maine Corporation, prepared by Keith L. Morris and Michael F. Gragnolati, Environmental Consultants from Leeds, Massachusetts, has been submitted to the DFA. Municipalities included in the Boston and Maine Corporation's YOP for treatment of rights- of-way with herbicides for the calendar year 2005 are: Adams Ashburnham Athol Ayer Bemardston Billerica Boston Buckland Cambridge Charlemont Chelmsford Chicopee Clinton Conway Danvers Deerfield Easthampton Erving Fitchburg Florida Gardner Greenfield Groton Harvard Hatfield Holyoke Lancaster Lawrence Leominster Lincoln Littleton Lowell Lunenburg Medford Melrose Methuen Montague North Adams North Andover Northampton Northfield Orange Peabody Phillipston Revere Rowe Royalston Salem Shelburne Shirley Somerville Springfield Sterling Templeton Tewksbury Tyngsborough Wakefield Waltham Watertown Wendell West Boylston Westford Westminster Whately Williamstown Winchendon Worcester The consultants have submitted the following commentary on the Boston and Maine Corporation's YOP: The intended vegetation control program will be consistent with the VMP, as approved by the DFA. Herbicides shall be applied to the roadbed by a spray truck, in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the VMP and the YOP. The herbicides to be applied, Razor, and, Oust Extra, are recommended for use in "sensitive areas" by the Department of Environmental Protection, and the DAR. No herbicides shall be applied within 10 feet of any wetland, watercourse, or waterbody, within 400 feet of any municipal water supply well, within 100 feet of any surface water utilized as a public water supply, or within 50 feet of any private drinking water supply well (pursuant to 333 CMR 11.04: Sensitive Area Restrictions). Applications of herbicide shall commence after the approval of the YOP by the DAR, following public review and comment. It is anticipated that herbicide application will occur in June 2005. The YOP contains: maps locating rights-of-way and sensitive areas; the name of the herbicides proposed for use, including application rates, carriers and adjuvants; application techniques and alternative control measures; material safety data sheets and. herbicide fact sheets as approved by the DAR; the names of the applicator and YOP supervisor; methods used to identify and mark sensitive areas on the right-of-way; procedures for handling, mixing, and loading of herbicides; and identification of target vegetation in accordance with 333 CMR 11.06(2). Additionally, the YOP contains emergency/contingency measures and local, state and federal emergency contact telephone numbers. The applicant has described in its YOP, on site loci, the rights-of-way that have been scheduled for treatment. Public Review The DAR in particular seeks the verification of sensitive area locations reported in the YOP. The DAR 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, however, have most of this information readily available, and the particular knowledge with which to better certify the sensitive areas in their communities. Therefore, the DAR requests and urges, the assistance of the "affected" municipalities in reviewing the completeness and accuracy of the maps contained in the submitted document. The DAR has established the following procedures for this review: • 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 the government (Mayor, City Manager, Chair or Board of Selectmen) of each municipality where herbicides are to be applied along the rights-of-way during the calendar year 2004. Municipal agencies and officials will have forty-five (45) days following receipt of the YOP to review the maps contained in the document that indicates the location of "Sensitive areas not readily identifiable in the field" for inaccuracies and omissions. Sensitive areas shall 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 indicated 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 DAR at the address listed below within the forty-five (45) day review period. If a city or town needs additional time to carry out this review, it should send a written request for an extension to the DAR and cite why there is "good cause" for requesting additional 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 DAR 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 DAR and to the city/town, which requested the dispute changes within fifteen (15) days of receipt of that request. The DAR will decide whether or not the YOP should be approved without the requested changes. The final twenty-one (21) days of 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 applicant has an approved VMP and if all necessary modifications to the YOP have been made and approved by the DAR. Additionally, herbicide applications to rights-of-way in 2005 are subject to a"newspaper notification" requirement. A failure by the city/town to respond to the applicant's submission of this YOP within the w forty-five (45) day public review period will be considered by the DAR to indicate agreement by the 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 Legal Notice and the procedures established for the municipal review as outlined above, should be addressed to: Michael McClean Rights-of-Way Program Pesticide Bureau Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources 251 Causeway Street, Suite 500 Boston, MA 02114-2151 Any additional questions or comments on any information provided as a part of the proposed YOP, should be addressed in writing to the Boston and Maine Corporation and a copy should be sent to Mr. Michael McClean, Rights-of-Way Program, at the address indicated above.

The plan includes: a statement of goals and objectives related to vegetation management; a description of the ROW; identification of components and vegetation categories targeted for control; the methods intended for control and management of vegetation; the rationale and justification for the proposed vegetation management techniques and herbicide applications; timing of herbicide applications; the operational strategies and requirements to be followed by the Railroad and application contractors; equipment used for vegetation control; the techniques used for identification of sensitive areas and control strategies for sensitive areas; Integrated Pest Management Techniques and alternative control techniques used to minimize the frequency of herbicide applications; emergency/contingency measures to be implemented to prevent, control, or clean up a possible spill of herbicides; alternative land use provisions and the qualifications of the people preparing this plan. Vegetation Management Plan January 2005 Springfield Terminal/Boston&Maine Railroad Page Number 2 2.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE SPRINGFIELD TERMINALBOSTON AND MAINE RAILROAD ' The railroad has been in operation for approximately 145 years and has for the past 19 years been owned and operated by Guilford Transportation, Inc. The Railroad main line passes through eighty-five (85)Massachusetts communities. It runs north to south from the Massachusetts/Vermont State line in Northfield to Springfield and from Ayer south to Worcester. The railroad also runs from Boston and other easterly points northward to the Massachusetts/New Hampshire State Line in Haverhill and westward to the Massachusetts/New York State Line in Williamstown. A list of communities in which the Railroad has right-of-way ownership, and therefore may be effected by vegetation management activities is as follows: Acton Adams Andover Ashburnham Athol Ayer Belmont Bernardston Billerica Boston Boxborough Buckland Cambridge Charlemont Charlestown Chelmsford Chelsea Chicopee Clinton Concord ' ConwayDanvers Deerfield Devens Easthampton Erving Everett Fitchburg Florida Gardner Greenfield Groton ' Harvard Hatfield Haverhill Holyoke Lancaster Lawrence Leominster Lincoln Littleton Lowell Lunenburg Lynn Lynnfield Malden Medford Melrose Methuen Montague North Adams North Andover Northampton Northfield Orange Peabody Philli Ston Reading Revere Rowe Ro alston Salem Saugus Shelburne Shirley Somerville Springfield Sterling Stoneham Swampscott Templeton Tewksbury -Tyngsborough Wakefield Waltham Watertown ' Wendell West Boylston Westford Westminster Whatley Williamstown Wilmin on Winchendon Woburn Worcester Vegetation Management Plan January 2005 Springfield Terminal/Boston&Maine Railroad Page Number 3 3.0 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE VEGETATION MANAGEMENT PLAN This VMP was prepared in the interests of safety and welfare of Railroad personnel and the general public. These interests are protected by providing the Railroad with operational ! standards and procedures necessary to implement an effective vegetation management program,while providing municipalities and regulatory agencies, as well as Railroad ' employees, with the information necessary to monitor vegetation management activities for the insurance of a safe and healthy environment. The VMP describes methods utilized by the Railroad to control or eradicate vegetation growing adjacent to and within the road bed using ' herbicides,mechanical equipment, proper planning and management practices, and Integrated Pest Management Techniques in order to minimize the amount of herbicide used. Such a need for vegetation control along the Railroad's ROW stems from regulatory statutes governing the railroad industry's safe operation, and from a practical evaluation of the processes, which lead to the degradation of a roadbed. Although the Railroad currently only treats the ballast area, switch boxes, signals and signposts with herbicides, the railroad reserves the right, after ' expanded sensitive area approval, to treat brush under communication lines. Pursuant to Article 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) ss 213.37, railroads are required to control vegetation in order to alleviate the potential of fire, to provide railroad employees with unobstructed visibility of the track and road bed components from their normal duty stations, and, during routine inspections, to allow clear visibility of signs and signals, the safe performance of normal duties of Railroad personnel, and to prevent damage to or malfunction of signal and communication lines. The Railroad will incorporate the proposed vegetation control techniques along with sound management, planning and record keeping practices in order to meet or exceed the safety requirements imposed by state and federal regulations. It is also the Railroads' intent to minimize the need for herbicide use as part of their vegetation management program. Subject to approval of this VMP by the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources (DAR), the railroad will prepare on an annual basis a Yearly Operation Plan (YOP) which will ' provide specific information about the vegetation management program to be carried out for the specified year. This YOP shall contain all information required by the DAR and will be submitted to the DAR for its review, comment and subsequent approval. Copies of the YOP will be submitted to the senior administrative official, Conservation Commission and Board of Health for each affected community listed in the YOP. The municipal officials and general public shall have 45 days, upon receipt, to review the YOP and submit comments to the DAR. Following the review and comment period,the DAR will provide the Railroad with formal notice of approval or denial of the YOP, or request modification as necessary. Vegetation Management Plan January 2005 Springfield Terminal/Boston&Maine Railroad Page Number 4 4.0 INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES In order to reduce the amount and frequency of herbicide application, the Railroad will implement Integrated Pest Management Techniques (IPM). This includes the performance of a survey of the ROW, and elimination from its spray schedule those areas that are not infested with undesirable vegetation. The survey will include the identification of the undesirable ' vegetation in order to select herbicides most suited for the control of those species. The survey shall also include identification and recording of areas adjacent to the roadbed section of the ROW where vegetative conditions are found to be favorable to the interests of the Railroad. Non-selective use of herbicides or mechanical means of vegetation controls will be avoided in these areas. Additionally, the conditions, which appear to contribute to a lack of or abundance of favorable vegetation, will be noted, and efforts made to alter those conditions in order to ' achieve the desired conditions. Such conditions that may effect the presence or absence of undesirable vegetation include regional topography, drainage, availability of sunlight, nutrients, and in the case of the ballast, the potential for soil and detritus accumulation. The railroad will implement this integrated approach to vegetation management by encouraging plant communities that hinder the development of target vegetation. The ultimate goal is to minimize the use of and reliance on herbicides. ' The Railroad will also review planned maintenance schedules and evaluate the potential secondary weed or brush control value of the planned maintenance. If it is determined that ' adequate weed control will be gained from the maintenance activity(i.e. replacement of rail ties), those affected areas will be omitted from scheduled herbicide treatment. If a follow-up field inspection of the affected area indicates that weed control was not achieved by the maintenance activity, or if the maintenance activity cannot be achieved until problematic vegetation is dealt with, (e.g. presence of poison ivy in the work area) herbicides will be applied. Vegetation Management Plan January 2005 Springfield Terminal/Boston&Maine Railroad Page Number 5 ' 5.0 RIGHT-OF-WAY COMPONENTS AND JUSTIFICATION FOR HERBICIDE USE 5.1—ROADBED The railroad ROW is comprised of the roadbed and the areas adjacent to the roadbed. Components of the roadbed are the steel rails and wooden ties that are supported on a bed of crushed traprock, known as ballast. The sloped sides of the ballast are referred to as the shoulder. Figure 1 (Appendix A) depicts a typical roadbed layout. Vegetation growing within the roadbed can cause several safety and functional problems for the Railroad. Excessive ' vegetation within the roadbed can hinder visibility of the tracks and roadbed components during track inspections and normal operations. Vegetation may also present physical hazards to Railroad personnel while working alongside rail equipment such as boxcars and ' locomotives. Vegetation may cause personnel to trip, slip or fall,which could result in serious injury or death. Vegetation in the roadbed can also result in the accumulation of soils and organic matter within the ballast section,which may inhibit drainage and weaken the structural integrity of the roadbed. As the height and density of roadbed weeds increase, they become crushed against the wheel of trains, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the braking system, which increases the risk of accidents. During dry months, weeds and brush can ignite from sparks created by the wheels and undercarriage of the trains. Brush fires may also be ignited along the roadbed from external sources such as vandals, discarded cigarettes dropped by pedestrians or from passing motor vehicles. Since most wooden rail components such as the rail ties and trestle timbers are treated with creosote or other flammable wood preservatives,brush fires can easily accelerate, resulting in damage to the roadbed components, communication lines and the disruption of the Railroad as a whole. Weed eradication in the early growth stage is essential, as growing root systems tend to assist in the accumulation of soil within the ballast, resulting in additional - weed propagation. Based upon the aforementioned factors, weeds growing within the roadbed shall be targeted for complete control by the use of herbicides. 5.2—DRAINAGE DITCHES One of the most important components of the Railroad ROW are drainage ditches, which 1 parallel the roadbed on each side of the shoulder. Rapid drainage of stormwater away from the roadbed is essential to maintain its structural integrity. If saturation of the ground below the roadbed occurs, the weight of the trains could cause the roadbed to sink into the underlying mud, which results in damage to the track sections and reduces the stability of the passing rail traffic, potentially resulting in a train derailment. For this reason the roadbed is designed to ' allow for quick stormwater drainage. If the ballast is maintained free of weeds and soil, stonnwater can pass easily through the roadbed allowing the runoff to collect in the adjacent drainage ditches. 1 Vegetation Management Plan January 2005 Springfield Terminal/Boston&Maine Railroad Page Number 6 In areas where the drainage ditches are not kept free of sediments and nuisance vegetation, the ditches tend to pond water rather than promote free drainage. The problem is compounded by the fact that some drainage ditches have developed hydrophytic (wetland)plant communities. Where no direct hydraulic connection occurs between drainage ditches and viable wetlands, the ditches shall be maintained by selective application of herbicides or mechanical trenching equipment. When mechanical means are utilized no herbicide application shall occur. No ' herbicides shall be applied when standing water is present. Treatment of ditches shall only occur during dry periods using only those herbicides, which have been recommended by the DAR for use in sensitive areas. ' 5.3—BRIDGES AND ABUTMENTS Wooden or steel railroad bridges generally do not have the capability to trap soils and allow for vegetative growth and therefore will not be treated with herbicides. Vegetation can grow between gaps and cracks in stone abutments, footings, or foundations and loosen the stone, brick, or concrete. Vegetation growing in and around these structures will be maintained by both mechanical cutting and by selective herbicide application, as allowed, when mechanical means are not practical. 5.4—SWITCH BOXES, SIGNALS,AND SIGNPOSTS ' Federal law (40 CFR 213.00)requires railroads to control vegetation around switch boxes, signals and signposts to allow for complete visibility by train engineers, inspectors,passing motorists, and pedestrians. Unless this task can be accomplished quickly and effectively by mechanical means, these areas will most often be controlled, as allowed,by herbicide application. Herbicides in these areas will be manually applied by the licensed applicator utilizing a hose with spray nozzle attached to the by-rail vehicle. The area within a 10-foot radius of switches, signals and signposts will be maintained free of weeds. 5.5—COMMUNICATION LINES The Railroad utilizes overhead communication lines that parallel the roadbed. The vegetation present in the areas below the communication lines must be maintained free of dense brush or trees to prevent damage and to allow access to the lines and associated poles for periodic and emergency services. Lines may become shorted out if contact is made with tree limbs or I creeping vines. They may also be knocked down if struck by falling limbs or branches. Some nuisance vegetation, such as tree limbs or branches may be controlled effectively by mechanical pruning, however, other problematic vegetation, such as poison ivy,which may attach itself to the utility poles and continue to spread along communication lines, is better controlled by herbicides. Mechanical means of poison ivy removal may result in direct contact with the plant by the equipment operator,which could pose a risk to the health of the operator. In general, tree limbs will be pruned when they overhang or are near the point of direct contact (within 2 to 5 feet) with communications lines. Vegetation Management Plan January 2005 Springfield Terminal/Boston&Maine Railroad Page Number 7 ' 6.0—IDENTIFICATION OF TARGET VEGETATION 6.1—WEEDS The term"weeds" as used in this plan refers to any vegetation growing within the roadbed section of the ROW. Weeds shall be targeted for complete eradication. Weeds frequently found within the roadbed include grasses, sedges, forbs, tree and shrub seedlings, and creeping vines. Control of weeds within the roadbed can only be achieved cost effectively and efficiently through the discriminate use of herbicides. ' 6.2—BRUSH 1 The term"brush" as used in this plan refers to any low to moderate height woody or non- woody vegetation growing in areas adjacent to the roadbed. Brush present in areas adjacent to the roadbed will be controlled whenever visibility of signals, signposts, crossings and adjacent ' rail lines are obstructed, and when encroaching upon communication lines adjacent to the roadbed. Vegetation along the inside of curves will be managed to provide the train's engineer with adequate visibility of track conditions, persons, animals or foreign objects present ahead ' of the train, and for observation of the train's performance. 6.3—TREES The term"trees" as used in this plan refers to any woody plant species, which are supported by a single stem or trunk, and are capable of reaching heights greater than 10 feet. Trees will be ' targeted for maintenance when limbs or branches encroach upon railroad bridges or the communication lines located adjacent to the roadbed. Tree maintenance will occur when the trees or branches obscure the train engineers vision of the roadbed components, signals, or L road crossings. Tree maintenance will be achieved using mechanical cutting methods, followed by a stump treatment with herbicides when appropriate. 6.4—VINES The term"Vines" as used in this plan shall refer to any creeping or climbing plants. Vines will be controlled through herbicide applications and mechanical cutting when they encroach upon communication lines, utility poles, signals, and the roadbed components. Vegetation Management Plan January 2005 Springfield Terminal/Boston&Maine Railroad Page Number 8 6.5—DESIRABLE VS UNDESIRABLE VEGETATION "Desirable vegetation"refers to any vegetation, which does not interfere with railroad operations. Conversely"undesirable vegetation" is any vegetation which due to its species characteristics, or location in the ROW, interferes in railroad operations. For example, grasses or other low growing herbs that occur within the roadbed are undesirable, whereas their occurrence in areas below the communication lines is tolerable as they do not interfere with the communication lines or obscure the vision of railroad personnel. Shrubs and trees located along the outer limits of the ROW(usually 30 to 50 feet from the centerline of the roadbed) ' provide an aesthetically pleasing visual barrier between the ROW and nearby residential areas. However, this type of vegetation may pose a visual obstruction at roadway crossings. As mentioned in Section 4, Integrated Pest Management Techniques will be utilized to minimize the use of herbicides. Vegetation Management Plan January 2005 Springfield Terminal/Boston&Maine Railroad Page Number 9 7.0 METHODS OF VEGETATION MANAGEMENT Before implementing a vegetation control program, the Railroad will periodically re-evaluate problematic areas along the ROW, and select the vegetation control method(s) most suited to conditions encountered. Integrated Pest Management Techniques will be implemented. For areas where herbicides are deemed the suitable means of vegetation control, herbicide selection will be based upon its ability to control the undesirable vegetation present within the target area. The various vegetation control methods to be implemented along the Railroad's ROW are discussed in the following sections. I7.1 VEGETATION CONTROL TECHNIQUES Vegetation can be controlled along the ROW by herbicide applications and mechanical means. However,both techniques have their advantages and limitations depending upon where, when, and how they are implemented. The only available technology feasible for complete eradication of vegetation within the roadbed is through herbicide applications. Mowing or hand weeding around the track components would be an impractical, if not impossible task to accomplish successfully based upon the amount of time and manpower that would be required. Mowing would not remove the entire root system,resulting in regrowth of the plants in a short period of time. Herbicides are currently the most effective and practical means of obtaining total vegetation eradication within the roadbed. However, their use is restricted by weather conditions as well as by regulatory constraints that prohibit their use in certain designated sensitive areas (See Chapter 8.0). ' Vegetation below communication lines, along inside curves, and at road crossings,will be managed using a combination of herbicide and mechanical control methods. The methods selected will be dependent upon the degree of vegetation control needed, the class and species of vegetation(desirable vs. undesirable, see Chapter 6.0), and sensitive area restrictions that may apply to the target area(see Chapter 8.0). Specific methods of vegetation control to be implemented along the Railroads ROW are discussed in Section 7.2. 7.2 HERBICIDE APPLICATION EQUIPMENT AND METHODS N7.2.1 Hy-rail Equipment and Uses Hy-rail vehicles are trucks or utility vehicles that are equipped with roller wheels that lower Ionto the steel rails of the track allowing the vehicle to ride on the track. The by-rail equipment allows for performance of herbicide applications to the ROW from the railroad tracks thereby alleviating the need for traversing rough terrain. The spray truck is equipped with a water tank, and a separate herbicide mixing tank. In addition to the spray vehicle, a by-rail spotter vehicle,which is in radio contact with the applicator, will ride ahead of applicator to assist in the identification of sensitive areas. 1 Vegetation Management Plan January 2005 Springfield Terminal/Boston&Maine Railroad Page Number 10 Hy-rail vehicles are equipped with spray booms that have a series of spray nozzles that apply a low-pressure(30 to 60 pounds per square inch) spray of herbicide directly to the roadbed from a height of approximately 18 inches above the ballast. The boom is equipped with drip pans to 1 prevent any drips from falling to the ground or, in the case of bridge crossings, to underlying wetlands, watercourses or roadways where herbicide treatment is not desired. The boom is also equipped with side spray guards that prevent drift of herbicide to non-target areas. The spray boom is controlled from within the cab of the spray vehicle. Multiple controls allow the applicator to direct the spray of herbicide to any portion of the roadbed, or to the entire surface area. For example, if weeds are present in the center of the roadbed, but the shoulder areas are ' free of vegetation, the applicator can selectively treat the center of the roadbed, thereby eliminating unnecessary herbicide application to the shoulders. The maximum width of the spray boom is variable depending upon the by-rail equipment used,but is generally between ' 16 and 20 feet. Some by-rail spray vehicles are also equipped with spray hoses and extended nozzles that can be used to apply herbicides, via low pressure spray, to vegetation growing around switches, signals, and sign posts. The by-rail equipment can also be affixed with extension booms capable of reaching drainage ditches and areas below communication lines. To further control drift of herbicide, anti-drift agents are added to the herbicide solution. All herbicide applications shall be conducted by a qualified certified applicator in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 7.2.2 Foliar Application Foliar application refers to the application of herbicides to the leaves and stem of plants using a low-pressure spray. Low-pressure spray equipment used by applicators is operated at pressures between 30 and 60 PSI. Proper application of herbicides by low-pressure spray equipment allows for complete coverage of the target vegetation and the reduction of overspray or airborne drift which can result from high-pressure spray equipment. High- pressure spray equipment is generally used for herbicide treatment to high branches of trees, or for reaching vegetation from a significant distance. Since high-pressure herbicide applications 1 do not allow for selective treatment to the target vegetation, and do not allow for adequate control of herbicide drift, high-pressure herbicide application methods to the ROW will not be performed. The method of herbicide application to the roadbed as described in the previous subsection, is one method of foliar application performed as part of a post-emergent spray program. Selective foliar application may also be performed to control vegetation around signals, sign posts, switch boxes, or around buildings. As mentioned previously, all applications of I herbicides shall be performed by a certified applicator with hose and sprayer either attached to the spray vehicle or small tank. Vegetation Management Plan January 2005 Springfield Terminal/Boston&Maine Railroad Page Number 11 ' This method may also be used for side trimming trees to eliminate nuisance branches without destroying the entire tree. Side trimming using herbicides shall not be performed to trees at heights greater than 20 feet, and will only be performed when the Railroad's Vegetation Control Engineer or contractor determines the method to be more suitable than alternative �. control methods, such as hand pruning. 1 7.2.3 Stump Treatment When mature trees are removed along the ROW, a stump treatment may be applied to the cut surface to prevent re-sprouting of the tree. The herbicide stump treatment can be "painted" onto the stump using a brush or applied by squirting the stump using a low-pressure spray. Trees to be removed shall be marked by personnel in the field prior to treatment. 7.3 MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT Mechanical means of vegetation control is implemented along the Railroad ROW when the use of herbicides is prohibited, or when a combination of mechanical cutting and herbicide applications is found to be the most suitable means of achieving total pest control. Throughout the term of this VMP, the railroad shall work to incorporate Integrated Pest Management practices. Examples of this may include the introduction of grasses or low growing shrubs to control undesirable vegetation under communication lines. Mechanical means of vegetation control will be limited to nuisance woody and brush species that are found to be interfering with railroad operations occurring in the areas adjacent to the roadbed. No mechanical means of vegetation control is feasible within the ballast area of the roadbed. Mechanical management of vegetation along the areas adjacent to the roadbed is most frequently and effectively performed by the use of high power mowing equipment. The mowing equipment is comprised of specialized cutting heads mounted on hydraulic arms which extend laterally, and are capable of reaching and pruning high branches or limbs which may obstruct communication wires, signals,bridges or trestles,the view of personnel,passing motorists, and pedestrians. Mowing equipment can also be mounted on all-terrain vehicles to allow for movement and access through areas beyond the reach of by-rail equipment. Mechanical means of vegetation control may also be performed using chain saws and other hand tools, as well as portable weed cutters,when the use of rotary mowing equipment is not practical, and/or when selective vegetative management is desired. Vegetation Management Plan January 2005 ' Springfield Terminal/Boston&Maine Railroad Page Number 12 It is important to note that mechanical cutting equipment may pose a threat of risk to the health �- and safety of the operators as well as bystanders, especially if used by inexperienced persons. Therefore, only qualified individuals will use mechanical cutting and pruning equipment. 7.4 WEED CONTROL AS A SECONDARY BENEFIT As part of the Integrated Pest Management, certain non-vegetation control activities may result in control or eradication of vegetation as a secondary benefit. Such activities may include periodic repair or replacement of rails, ties, or ballast. Scouring or retrenching drainage ditches will also eliminate weeds immediately adjacent to the roadbed and reduce the spreading of weeds via shoots,vines, or windblown seeds onto the roadbed. Trenching or other railroad maintenance activities other than herbicide applications may be subject to approval under Massachusetts Wetland Regulations, if performed in or within the regulated distance of a wetland. 7.5 SELECTION AND TIMING OF HERBICIDE APPLICATIONS Selection of herbicides to be used in a given season will be dependant upon the timing of the application, the location of the target area with regard to sensitive area boundaries, and the species of nuisance vegetation present within the ROW. An evaluation of vegetation density and species identification along the roadbed of the main lines and branches will be made either 1 during the late summer or fall preceding the scheduled vegetation management season or during the early months of the growing season. Based upon the evaluation, the type of herbicide best suited for controlling observed nuisance vegetation will be selected. 7.5.1 Pre-Emergent Herbicide Program The pre-emergent herbicide program involves the application of herbicides at the beginning of tr the growing season before weeds have emerged from the ground. The herbicide takes effect after the newly developed roots of seedlings absorb it. The pre-emergent program is restricted to highly problematic sections of the roadbed. Pre-emergent herbicides selected will be highly immobile and have moderate residual presence in the soil after application. Only those herbicides that are on the approved list for pre-emergent application shall be utilized. Problematic roadbed areas that are scheduled for treatment shall be inspected in the late summer or fall of the preceding year. The inspection shall estimate the density of the vegetation and identification of the target species. Herbicide selections shall be based on this inspection. The pre-emergent program will be scheduled for the spring. Herbicide application will not take place under frozen ground conditions. Vegetation Management Plan January 2005 Springfield Terminal/Boston&Maine Railroad Page Number 13 7.5.2 Post-Emergent Herbicide Program The post-emergent herbicide program involves the application of herbicides to the roadbed ' from a by-rail truck after the target vegetation has emerged from the ballast. A selective application to areas adjacent to the roadbed shall be manually applied by the licensed applicator using a hose and spray nozzle attached to the by-rail vehicle. Herbicides that are absorbed through the roots, stems, or leaves of the target vegetation may be used. The post- emergent program shall be performed after mid-May. No-post emergent herbicide applications shall occur after the end of the regional growing season. Ideally, the post- emergent program is most effective when performed within the time period from June through August, as most nuisance plant species have reached full emergence and can be readily targeted by the herbicide applicator. 7.6 TOUCH-UP APPLICATIONS Following a post-application survey of ROW conditions, it may be necessary to perform touch-up applications of herbicides to densely vegetated areas during the same growing season. No more than 10% of the initially identified target vegetation on the ROW in any municipality may be treated during a touch-up application and the total amount of herbicide in any year shall not exceed the limits specified on the label or the YOP (per 11.03 [8](C). Touch-up applications shall be performed using low pressure foliar or stem application methods. Touch-up applications will be performed within 12 months of initial treatment to a designated sensitive area. Vegetation Management Plan January 2005 Springfield Terminal/Boston&Maine Railroad Page Number 14 8.0 METHODS FOR IDENTIFICTION OF SENSITIVE AREAS AND CONTROL STRATEGIES PROPOSED FOR SENSITIVE AREAS 8.1 —REGULATORY DEFINITIONS OF SENSITIVE AREAS AND ASSOCIATED RESTRICTIONS The Massachusetts Pesticide Board Regulations 333 CMR 11.00, defines sensitive areas for the purpose of implementing a vegetation management program involving the application of herbicides as any area within the ROW, including but not limited to the following, in which public health, environmental or agricultural concerns warrant special protection to further minimize risk of unreasonable adverse effects: ' (a) within the primary recharge zone of a public drinking water supply well; (b) within 400 feet of any surface water used as a public water supply; (c) within 100 ft of any identified private drinking water supply well; (d) within 100 feet of any standing or flowing water; (e) within 100 feet of any wetland; (f) within 100 feet of any agricultural or inhabited area. The Massachusetts Pesticide Board Regulations establish restrictions pertaining to herbicide applications within designated sensitive area boundaries. The regulations further require the ROW owner to identify and delineate sensitive areas, which are not readily identifiable in the field, and to affix permanent markings to identify appropriate no spray and restricted spray setbacks. Those areas that are not considered to be readily identifiable in the field are (a) through (e) above. Agricultural and inhabited areas are generally readily visible from the ROW; therefore no permanent markings are required. It is important to note that"agricultural areas"includes, but is not limited to, actively grazed pastures, private gardens, animal pens and corrals, as well as active commercial food crop and non-food crop fields. Pursuant to 333 CMR 11.00, no herbicides shall be applied on or within 10 feet of standing or flowing surface water(other than surface water supplies), or within 10 feet of a wetland. Herbicides can be applied between 10 feet and 100 feet of the aforementioned areas provided that 12 months has elapsed between application. The herbicide must be applied selectively by low-pressure foliar techniques or stem application and the DAR must have approved the herbicide for use in sensitive areas. No herbicides shall be applied within 100 feet of any surface waters used as a public water supply, including tributary streams. Herbicides may be applied between 100 and 400 feet of a surface water supply or its tributaries provided that the herbicides are applied selectively by low-pressure foliar techniques. The herbicide used must be approved by the DAR for use in sensitive areas and the application can only occur once every 24 months. ' Vegetation Management Plan January 2005 Springfield Terminal/Boston&Maine Railroad Page Number 15 No herbicides shall be applied within 400 feet of a public groundwater supply (Recharge Protection Zone 1). Herbicides may be applied within the primary recharge area of a public well (Zone II) provided that the herbicide is applied selectively by low-pressure foliar ' techniques. This herbicide must be approved by the DAR for use in sensitive areas and at least 24 months must have elapsed from the last application. No herbicide shall be applied within 100 feet of an agricultural or inhabited area unless the herbicide is approved for use in sensitive areas using low-pressure foliar techniques and a minimum of 12 months has lapsed since the last application. 8.2—IDENTIFICATION,DELINEATION AND MARKING OF SENSITIVE AREAS 8.2.1 —Wetlands, Waterbodies, and Watercourses The Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act Regulation 310 CMR 10.02 (1) (a)—(e) define resource areas subject to protection under the act as (a) Any bank, the ocean any freshwater wetland, any estuary any coastal wetland, bordering any creek any beach, on any river any dune, any stream any flat, any pond any marsh, or any lake or any swamp (b) Land under any of the waterbodies listed above (c) Land subject to tidal action (d) Land subject to coastal stone flowage (e) Land subject to flooding ' For the purposes of managing the Railroad's ROW, (a)through (c) above shall be afforded the same degree of protection and considered sensitive areas under Rights of Way Management Regulations 333 CMR 11.00. The following are brief definitions of(a) through (c) above as defined in 310 CMR 10.00: (a) Bordering Vegetated Wetlands—are freshwater wetlands which border on creeks, rivers, streams, ponds and lakes. Types of freshwater wetlands include wet meadows, marshes, swamps, and bogs. (b) Land Under Waterbodies and Waterways—consists of the land beneath any ' creek, river, stream,pond or lake. (c) Land Subject to Tidal Action—means land subject to the periodic rise and fall of a coastal waterbody, including spring tides. ' Vegetation Management Plan January 2005 Springfield Terminal/Boston &Maine Railroad Page Number 16 ' Land subject to coastal storm flowage(d) and land subject to flooding(e) are not defined as wetlands under 333 CMR 11.02. Floodplains, or Bordering Land Subject to Flooding are defined as "an area with low, flat topography adjacent to and inundated by floodwater rising from creeks,rivers, streams, ponds or lakes. It extends from the banks of these waterways and waterbodies; where a bordering vegetated wetland occurs, it extends from said wetland". Floodplain may or may not meet the defining characteristic of a wetland and therefore may not be subject to the herbicide application restrictions established in 333 CMR 11.00; unless standing water is present at the ' time of herbicide application. Each year that a YOP is prepared a copy shall be sent to the Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program (NHESP) for their review. Any recommendations made by NHESP with respect to avoidance,minimization, or mitigation of impacts to endangered, threatened, or special concern species will be incorporated into the program. For each community in which the Railroad ROW is scheduled for treatment with herbicides, the wetlands,watercourses, and waterbodies within 100 feet of the ROW were located in the ' field by wetland specialists. Wetland boundaries were determined as described in 310 CMR 10.00. ' The limits of the 10 foot no spray and the 100 foot"restricted application"buffer zones were measured and marked on the roadbed with a color-coded marking system approved by the DAR. This marking system will be discussed in section 8.3. The locations of these markings were drawn on a map of the ROWs, which is carried in both the spotter vehicle and the spray vehicle. Upon completion of the mapping a Request for Determination for approval of the wetland boundary was filed with each affected community. Determinations issued by the conservation commissions are valid for 5 years or the life of the VMP. ' 8.2.2—Public Water Supplies and Aquifer Recharge Areas Public water supplies for each of the affected communities are identified on a yearly basis by reviewing Groundwater Protection Atlas Overlays and Resource Priority Maps available at the Massachusetts DEP regional offices. Public water supply information is also available from local health officials and water departments. Aquifer protection zone maps identify Zone II for public water supply wells. For those communities that have not delineated the Zone II ' recharge areas for their water supplies, the Zone II boundaries shall be considered the area within a one half mile radius of the well head. For each public water supply well identified within 400 feet of the ROW the well head was located in the field and a 400 ft. no spray zone was marked on the rail bed utilizing the approved color coded making system identified in section 8.3. Public surface water supplies and their tributaries identified within 400 feet of the ROW were located in the field, and the 100-foot no spray and 400-foot restricted spray zone marked on ' the rail bed. Vegetation Management Plan January 2005 Springfield Terminal/Boston&Maine Railroad Page Number 17 The location of no spray and restricted spray areas are depicted on the ROW maps (scale 1"_ ' 100') showing the locations of sensitive areas. ' 8.2.3 —Private Water Supply Wells Pursuant to 333 CMR 11.00e, the DAR shall request the locations of private drinking water ' supplies located along the ROW from the Department of Environmental Management and local Boards of Health. The Railroads shall consult with the DAR with regard to private well locations and accordingly locate any registered private wells in the field. The railbed was ' marked in the field as described in section 8.3 and the location of these wells referenced on ROW maps indicating sensitive areas. 8.2.4—Sensitive Areas Readily Identifiable in the Field Sensitive areas readily identifiable in the field include agricultural areas and inhabited areas as ' described in Section 8.1. Due to their visibility, these areas are not depicted on the maps of sensitive areas. During herbicide application, a sensitive area spotter vehicle will proceed along the ROW in front of the spray vehicle and provide warning via radio of any upcoming t sensitive areas. The applicator shall abide by all spray restrictions established in 333 CMR 11 e and incorporated into this plan. ' 8.3—SENSITIVE AREA MARKING SYSTEM No spray areas are those in which herbicide spraying is prohibited. It includes track within ' 400 feet of a public water supply wellhead, 100 feet from a public surface water supply, a 50- foot radius around a private well, and 10 feet from the edge of standing or flowing water, or wetlands. ' Limited-spray areas are those in which spraying is restricted to one annual application of herbicides through low-pressure foliar techniques. This includes track between 10 and 100 feet from the edge of standing or flowing water, or wetlands, lengths of track within the primary recharge area around a public water supply wellhead, between 100-400 feet from the edge of a public surface water supply and between 50 and 100-foot radius around a private well. Spraying is restricted to one application every other year of a herbicide approved by the DAR through low-pressure foliar techniques for water supply areas. ' Vegetation Management Plan January 2005 Springfield Terminal/Boston &Maine Railroad Page Number 18 Non-sensitive areas, which are upland areas and/or lengths of track without proximate ' sensitive areas do not require specific precautions or herbicide restrictions. ' The limits of sensitive areas, no-spray areas, limited-spray areas and non-sensitive areas are marked in the field with permanent color-coded markers. These markers are reviewed yearly to insure visibility during spraying operations. Sensitive areas considered to be readily ' identifiable in the field (i.e. agricultural and inhabited areas) will not be marked. The markers will be one or any combination of the following: ' color-coded signs attached to posts. • color-coded signs attached to railroad ties. • color-coded painted rail sections. ' 8.3.1 Wetland,Watercourses and Waterbodies 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 Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (MWPA) 310 CMR 10.02 (1) (a)-(e) (bordering vegetated wetlands, streams, ' ponds, etc.) Blue- Limits of Buffer Zone and Restricted Spray Zone. Represents a 100-foot buffer zone from a resource area. In restricted spray zones, only DAR recommended herbicides can be applied selectively by a low pressure (60 psi) foliar or stem application. ' White- Sensitive area warning maker. This color indicates that the applicator is either entering or leaving a restricted spray zone. For wetland areas,white markers are always adjacent to a blue tie. See Appendix C of this document for clarification. It should be noted that a blue and yellow plate on the outside of the tie represents a no spray zone on that side only. ' 8.3.2 Public and Private Water Supplies Red -Zone II or private well recharge zone or buffer zone of public surface water supply. This color indicates that the applicator is in an aquifer recharge zone or the buffer ' zone of a public surface water supply. In this zone only DAR recommended herbicides can be applied by low pressure foliar or stem applications, with a minimum of 24 months between applications. Yellow-Limits of No Spray Zone. Represents a point on the railroad tracks that is a minimum of 400 feet from public groundwater supply wellhead; 100 feet from surface water supplies; or 50 feet from a private drinking water well. White- Sensitive area warning marker. This color indicates that the applicator is either entering or leaving a restricted spray zone. ' Vegetation Management Plan January 2005 Springfield Terminal/Boston&Maine Railroad Page Number 19 ' See Appendix B of this document for clarification. For public and private water supply herbicide application,white and yellow markers are always adjacent to a red marker. Red zones can only be sprayed once every 24 months. ' 9.0—OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS OF APPLICATORS 9.1 —Licensing Requirements of Applicators ' No railroad personnel or contractor may apply or supervise the application of herbicides to the ROW unless they are certified by the DAR in the category of Rights-of-Way Pest Control, pursuant to Massachusetts Pesticide Board Regulations 333 CMR 11.00. 9.2—Inspections and Record Keeping Several weeks prior to the application of herbicides the vegetation control engineer or other qualified personnel shall perform a review of the ROW in order to evaluate the need for ' herbicide treatment, and identify target vegetation. Conditions shall be noted on a form that asks for the following information: The date and time of the review and the person conducting the review, Location of the ROW, which includes the town the ROW is located in and the mile post where the vegetation is located. A description of the density of the vegetation within the problem area and ' identification of nuisance species. Type of herbicide previously applied and the date it was applied. General condition of the area where the nuisance vegetation occurs. All evaluation forms will be kept by the railroad and utilized in the development of the YOP. For each day of herbicide application,the applicator shall complete a daily field report which ' shall include as a minimum, the location of the areas sprayed, date of application,weather conditions, equipment used, herbicides, carriers, and adjuvents used, quantities used,people on site, and the starting and completion time. Sample copies of a typical field report and spray ' log are included in Appendix D, courtesy of Railroad Weed Control, Inc. of Westfield, Massachusetts. ' 9.3—Conformance with Regulatory Notification Requirements The railroad shall comply with all regulatory requirements concerning notification to affected ' municipal agencies. At least twenty-one (2 1) days prior to commencing herbicide applications, the railroad, or its designated representative, shall submit written notification of Vegetation Management Plan January 2005 Springfield Terminal/Boston&Maine Railroad Page Number 20 the intended spray program and application date, to the senior ranking town or city official ' (Mayor,Town Manager, First Selectman, or Board of Selectmen) and conservation commission of each municipality. Formal notification shall be made by registered mail (as per Chapter 85 of Act of 2000), and include the approximate date and time of application. A copy of the DAR approved YOP and Environmental Monitor notice will be sent under separate cover(via certified mail)to the senior ranking town or city official, board of health, and conservation commission. Notification may coincide with the last 21 days of the YOP review and comment period, ' provided that all changes to the YOP, as requested by the DAR are made and that each municipality receives the revised YOP and sensitive area maps prior to commencing with the spray program. In addition a public notice shall be printed in a widely circulated newspaper 48 hours prior to pesticide application. Appendix E includes reproduction of 333 CMR 11.00, Pesticide Board Regulation and applicable section of 310 CMR, Wetland Regulations pertaining to Rights-of-Way management. ' 9.4—Applicators' Compliance Guidelines Any applicators contracted to implement the herbicide management program to the ROW shall do so in accordance with all applicable state, federal, and local by-laws and will abide by the standards set forth in this plan and the YOP. The applicator will be thoroughly familiar with ' the contents of the VMP and YOP and shall carry a copy of the VMP and YOP at all times while performing herbicide application on the ROW ' The herbicide applicator shall abide by the sensitive area restrictions set forth in 333 CMR 11.00. During herbicide application, a railroad spotter vehicle shall proceed ahead of the spray truck and alert the applicator of any upcoming sensitive areas. ' The herbicide applicator shall not handle,mix, or load herbicide concentrate on a ROW within 100 feet of any sensitive area. Water for mixing the herbicide may be obtained, subject to ' local ordinances, from ponds, lakes, or streams adjacent to the ROW,provided that tanks and hoses are equipped with DEP approved anti-siphon devices to prevent backflow of herbicides into the water source. Hoses and pumps utilized for filling the dispensing tank with water ' shall not be used for any purpose that could result in contact of the equipment with the herbicide concentrate or solution. Herbicide concentrate shall only be added to the dispensing tank after the tank is filled with water, at a location at least 100 feet from any sensitive areas. ' No cleaning or rinsing of tanks, nozzles or other equipment shall be performed within 100 feet of a sensitive area. Rinse water or excess herbicide mixture shall be disposed at an approved waste disposal facility. Mixing and use of herbicides shall be consistent with the label instructions included on the packaging. Sample labels for herbicides and associated carriers and adjuvents shall be included as Appendices to each YOP. The herbicide applicator shall wear protective clothing and personal safety equipment when mixing,handling, loading or applying herbicides. Latex or nitrile rubber gloves as well as eye goggles should be worn during the mixing of herbicide concentrate. Vegetation Management Plan January 2005 Springfield Terminal/Boston&Maine Railroad Page Number 21 10.0 EMERGENCY AND CONTINGENCY PLANNING AND RESPONSE The herbicide applicator is experienced in the containment, cleanup, and reporting of any herbicide spills or related accidents. Application crews must carry with them at all times the ' following materials;a broom, shovel,heavy duty plastic bags, absorbent clay, activated charcoal, a suction system equipped with a hose adequate for picking up liquids, Material Safety Data Sheets and a list of emergency contact people and their phone numbers. ' In the event of a spill,the applicator shall contain the release, as well as possible using the ' equipment and materials previously mentioned. Soil berms will be dug if necessary to contain the flow of the release. Absorbent materials and the suction hose will be used to pick up the released materials. Although the containment of the release is the first priority of the ' application crew, notification of the release to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Emergency Response Unit may be required within two (2)hours of the occurrence. Notification is dependent on the type and quantity of material released(e.g. reportable release of non-herbicide). The YOP shall include a complete list of federal, state and local emergency contacts and telephone numbers. Most commercial application contractors have developed guidelines of emergency procedures that must be followed by the application crew in the event of a release or related emergency. The applicators spill response and cleanup guidelines will be appended to the YOP. ' In addition the Railroad has developed its own emergency response procedures to be followed in the event of any oil or hazardous materials release on Railroad property and ROW. A copy ' of this document is included in Appendix F and will be attached to each YOP. Vegetation Management Plan January 2005 Springfield Terminal/Boston&Maine Railroad Page Number 22 11.0 ALTERNATIVE LAND USE PROVISIONS OR AGREEMENTS ' The Railroad will take into consideration any requests by state or local officials and private citizens concerning protection of areas not already protected under 333 CMR 11.00. Such ' requests may include provisions for additional no spray setbacks for certain sensitive areas, or avoidance of vegetation removal in areas adjacent to the roadbed where vegetation may provide an aesthetic barrier between the ROW and abutting residences. Other examples may include the avoidance of herbicide applications at heavily used crossings, or near parks and recreation areas. Any such requests will be considered on a case by case basis. The requesting ' party must provide to the railroad evidence that: • Herbicide applications or other means of vegetation control within the area of concern ' could reasonably jeopardize the welfare and/or safety of the public, or otherwise would create an unreasonable hardship to the concerned party. ' • The vegetative conditions in the area of concern do not significantly interfere with railroad operations or present a safety hazard to railroad personnel or to the general public. Any requests for special consideration should be made in writing and sent to: Boston and Maine Corporation Iron Horse Park North Billerica, Massachusetts 01862 Attention: Vegetation Control Department. 12.0 QUALIFICATIONS OF PERSONS DEVELOPING THE PLAN The Springfield Terminal Railway Company/Boston and Maine Corporation Vegetation Management Plan was prepared by environmental consultants Keith L. Morris and Michael F. Gragnolati of Leeds, Massachusetts and Windsor Locks, Connecticut. They were part of the team that developed the previous VMPs that were approved on July 14, 1992 and June 1999.

Many commissions became aware for the first time that application of herbicides on rights of way may resuh in alteration of wetlands and,with the exception of exempt utilities,may require action under the M.G.L.c. 131, §40. On July 18, 1986,the Department issued a final decision after adjudicatory hearing in DEP Hearing Docket Nos. 83-28 and 83-35(Clinton and Leverett) finding that the application of specific herbicides by the railroads to track and ballast within 100 feet ofwedand areas would alter those wetlands and was therefore subject to jurisdiction under M.G.L. c. 131, § 40, requiring the filing of Notices of Intent with the local conservation commissions. 1 The Department of Food and Agriculture(DFA)initiated a Generic Environmental Impact Report(GEM)evaluating alternatives for rights of way management. A technical advisory task force of mvironmentalists, agencies and rights of way managers assisted in the GEIR preparation and,baud on results of the study,recommended to the Secretary of Environmental Affairs a fiamework for a coherent state-wide rights of way regulatory program. DFA published draft regulations to implement this program in 1986 and received extensive public commentary. Final regulations,333 CMR 11.00,became effective on July 10, 1987. The DFA regulations require persons proposing to apply herbicides to rights of way to first receive approval of a five year Vegetation Management Plan(VMP)and Yearly Operating Plan (YOP). These regulations identify certain"sensitive areas",including wetlands and public and private surface and groundwater supplies, where the application of herbicides is, in most instances, prohibited, and areas adjacent to the sensitive areas where use of herbicides is curtailed. DEP worked closely with DFA to include provisions which give maximum protection for water supplies and provide protection for wetlands at least equal to that provided under the M.G.L.c. 131,§40 and 310 CMR 10.00. To eliminate duplicate review under M.G.L.c. 131, ' §40,DEP has adopted changes to the wetlands regulations which allow herbicide applications on rights ofway in accordance with the DFA regulations without filing a Notice of Intent under the MG.L.c. 131,§40. However,non-exempt applicants will still be required to file a Request for Determination of Applicability to the appropriate conservation commission to establish - boundaries of wetlands on or near the right of way. Specifically,these regulations presume that work performed in accordance with a VMP and YOP, as may be required under DFA regulations,will not alter an area subject to protection under M.G.L.c. 131,§40. ' During the public comment period on its proposed regulations,the Department identified several issues of major concern. After consideration of all comments, the Department has determined that, except for minor points of clarification and the addition of an automatic expiration date,no further changes in the regulations are warranted at this time. A discussion of these issues follows. A. Presumption vs. Limited Proieet. Several commentators suggested that conservation commissions should retain the authority to review each herbicide application on rights of way through the usual Notice of Intent process. These regulations create a presumption that herbicide application carried out in accordance with an approved VMP and YOP under the DFA regulations will not alter wetlands and that the filing of a Notice of Intent is therefore not required: This procedure was established pursuant to the recommendation of the GEIR task force which states: 10/3/97 (Effective 10/6/97) 310 CMR-450 310 CMR: DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 10.00: continued y The regulations which provide for approval of Vegetation Management Plans by the Department of Food and Agriculture should be conditioned on review and approval by the Department of ' Environmental Protection(DEP) of those portions of the Plans that deal with wetlands. The DEP should be required to certify to the DFA that these portions of the Plans will result in compliance with the substantive and procedural provisions which protect the interests of the M.G.L.c. 131,§40. If the regulations are so drawn,activities under a Plan approved by DEP ' Lwould not constitute an alteration of wetlands as defined under 310 CMR 10.00. Since the DFA regulations provide that DEP is a member of the VMP advisory panel which reviews and makes recommendations on the approval of VMPs, the GEIR task force ' recommendations have been fully implemented. Therefore,the Department has determined that it would be duplicative to require the Sling of individual Notices of Intent in each municipality for each application of herbicides to rights of way. B. Adequacy of Setback from Wetland. The DFA rights of way regulations prohibit application of herbicides on or within ten feet of wetlands and strictly limit herbicide application from tett feet to 100 feet of wetlands. Many commentators questioned the adequacy of these ' setback requirements and suggested that a 50 or 100 foot no spray zone would be more appropriate. Several commentators suggested that the proposed setback requirements were inconsistent with the Department's adjudicatory hearing decision in the Clinton and Leveret cases. The no spray zone surrounding wetlands is necessary for three reasons: to compensate for trapping errors,to compensate for applicator errors and to assure that herbicides will not migrate into wetlands after application on the adjacent uplands. During the public comment period,the ' Department received no evidence demonstrating that the ten-foot setback established 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 limited spray zone(from 10 to 100 feet from wetlands)which is adjacent to the no spray zone. Herbicides that will be selected for use ' in these limited spray zones under the DFA regulations are those which available data demonstrate will not migrate Bother than ten feet. ' The applicators have argued that they can ,maintain a level of accuracy in mapping of wetlands and in application of herbicides to assure that herbicides will not be inadvertently applied within ten fiat of wethmd areas. The Department is not convinced that these claims are unreasonable,however,in order to confirm their accuracy,the Department has included in the final regulations an automatic expiration date two years from the effective daze, which is coterminous with the expiration date of the DFA regulations. During the two-year effective period of these regulations,the Department expects 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 wetlands mapping, the accuracy of herbicide application,and the extern of herbicide migration. The results of this wig provide study a basis for recommendations b the D carmen P t for amendments to the D Y ep FA regulations and a decision on reauthorization of these amendments to the Department's wetland regulations. Finally, the Department does not find the setbacks requirements established in the DFA regulations to be inconsistent with its decision in the CUton and Leveret cases. In that decision,the Department assumed a worst-case analysis in terms of an herbicide known to be highly mobile which was applied to the track and ballast areas adjacent to wetlands. The Department found, based on the particular facts of these cases and the particular herbicide ' proposed for application that there would be a migration of that herbicide into the wetlands from application within the 100-Scot buffer zone that would be sufficiently concentrated to cause alterations of the wetlands plants. However,the DFA rights of way management regulations set up a procedure for identification of herbicides which are relatively immobile and which are preapproved for applicatior on the buffer zone in order to avoid alteration of wetlands plants. Furthermore, guidelines for application of the selected herbicides will also be established. Finally,no herbicides may be applied within ten feet of 10/3/97 (Effective 10/6/97) 310 CMR-451 310 CMR: DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION a 10.00: continued wetland areas. In light of the strict controls placed on application of herbicides within the 100-foot buffer zone under the DFA regulations, the Department finds that adoptions of the proposed regulatory scheme is fully consistent with its previous adjudicatory hearing decision in the Clinton and Leverett cases. C. Impacts of Herbicides Application on Wildlife Habitat. The Department is currently developing regulations under M.G.L.a 131, §40 to protea wildlife habitat, The effective date of these regulations is November 1, 1987. One commentator expressed concern regarding the impact of herbicide application on wildlife habitat in wetlands, and particularly on the habitat of rare,"state-fisted"wildlife species. As discussed above,the Department has determined that the DFA regulations provide for protection of wetlands from alterations due to herbicide application. However, the OFA regulations do not include floodplain in their definition of wedapds, although those regulations do prohibit herbicide application within 10 feet of any standing or flowing surface water. Beyond that, there is no specific protection of wildlife habitat,including rare species,in floodplain areas. ' The Department is concerned that the DFA regulations do not specifically address protection of wildlife habitat in floodplain in particular those rare, "state-listed" wildlife species. ' Therefore, as a member of the VW advisory panel, the Department will review VMPs for potential effect on wildlife habitat and specifically will recommend disapproval of any VMP that will have an adverse effect in areas mapped by the Natural Heritage and Endangered Species ' Program as habitat of arty rare, "state-listed" wildlife species. Furthermore, the Department expects applicators to incorporate into the previously discussed two-year monitoring study a, section detailing the effects of herbicide application on wildlife habitat in floodplain and on the habitat of rare,"state-listed"wildlife species. The Department will use the results of this study ' as the basis for recommending any amendments to the DFA regulations and a decision on reauthorization of these amendments to the Department's wetlands regulations. 1 ' 10/3/97 (Effective 10/6/97) 310 CMR-452 i 1 i 1 ' APPENDIX F i EMERGENCY SPILL RESPONSE PLAN i - 1 1 1 . 1 i 1 1 i 1 1 1 1 BOSTON AND MAINE CORPORATION MAINE CENTRAL RAILROAD COMPANY PORTLAND TERMINAL COMPANY SPRINGFIELD TERMINAL RAILWAY COMPANY 1 PROCEDURE MANUAL FOR REPORTING OF A RELEASE OR THREAT OF RELEASE ' OF OIL OR HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES ' SECTION III 1 ' Original - March 1989 IN MASSACHUSETTS Revised - September 1990 LSP-ERM May 1991 John Drobinski ' July 1992 (W) (617) 267-8377 . .

Doc No. 05-003 ' March 2005 t INTRODUCTION Both Federal and State laws require railroads to manage vegetation to help insure the safe passage of people,material, and goods. The Code.of Federal Regulations mandates the safety of the railroad must be guaranteed by regular inspection and maintenance. Vegetation must be controlled so that it does not become a fire hazard,does not interfere with visibility,or impede direct visual inspections of the track structure. Vegetation must also be managed to allow for proper drainage of the track and ballast structure,to prevent tree and branch damage to cargo and to provide safe footing and working conditions for trackside personnel. Vegetation growing along side the rails can prevent effective 1 and adequate braking, especially in emergency situations. The purpose of 3.33 CMR 11.00,Rights-of-Way Management, is to promote the implementation of Integrated Pest Management techniques and to establish standards, requirements,and procedures necessary to minimize the risk of unreasonable adverse effects on human health and the environment associated with the use of herbicides to maintain rights-of- way. These regulations establish procedures that guarantee ample opportunity for public and ' municipal agency review and input on right-of-ways maintenance plans. A Yearly Operational Plan(YOP)must be submitted to the Department of Agricultural ' Resources each year herbicides are intended for use to maintain Rights-of-Way(ROW). The YOP provides a detailed program for vegetation management for that year. This YOP is a companion document to the Vegetation Management Plan (VMP)approved by the Department. The VMP is the long-term management plan for the railroad, which describes the intended program for vegetation control over a five-year period. Upon receipt of the YOP,the Department publishes a notice in the Environmental Monitor. The applicant must provide a copy of the YOP and Environmental Monitor notice to the Board of Health, Conservation Commission and the chief elected municipal official for the city or town in which the herbicide treatment is proposed. The Department allows a 45-day comment period on the proposed YOP,beginning with the publication of the notice in the Environmental Monitor and receipt of the YOP and Environmental Monitor notice by each municipality. At least twenty one (2 1)days prior to commencing herbicide applications, the railroad, or its designated representative shall submit written notification of the intended spray program and application date to the senior ranking town or city official(Mayor,Town Manager,First Selectman) and conservation commission of each municipality. Formal notification shall be made by registered mail (as per Chapter 85 of Act of 2000), and include the approximate date and time of application. In addition a conspicuous notice will be published in at least one(1) newspaper of general circulation in each city or town where such land lies at least 48 hours prior to such spraying,release,deposit or application of herbicides. Any comments on this YOP should be directed to the railroad contact person listed on ' page 1.

HERBICIDES PROPOSED INCLUDING APPLICATION RATES, CARRIERS, ADJUVANTS,AND APPLICATION TECHNIQUES Weed Control Herbicide Program for the Roadbed and Railvards (Post-Emergent) ' The post-emergent herbicide program is aimed primarily toward keeping the ballast section and shoulder, yards, switches, signals, and highway grade crossings weed free. Areas scheduled for weed control treatments have been inspected for density of target vegetation to determine appropriate control methods. Herbicide fact sheets for the herbicides proposed are in Appendix B. ' 101 , � F��rbiade(s � �,�� Gan•iers� �gpphc�tiony� � tiAppfication` ��4 - echnlque,, Rate it Sensitive areas 2 qt.

Oust Extra Touch-up Razor Low pressure spray applications Brush Control Program for Areas Adjacent to the Roadbed ' Brush control in the free spray areas of the ROW shall be achieved by the low-pressure application of Razor, and Oust Extra. See chart above for herbicide mixture. This application of herbicides for brush control shall be done in a very conservative manner, as wetland delineation for the increase in spray width has not been performed. In all other areas,brush control shall be achieved by mechanical means. The preferred ' method of mechanical 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 may be used when use of the brush hog is not practical. 1 2005 Post Emergent Yearly Operational Plan March 2005 Springfield Tertninal Document No.05-003 Boston&Maine Corporation Page 3 I IV. HERBICIDE APPLICATION TECHNIQUES AND ALTERNATIVE CONTROL PROCEDURES Herbicide application within the Railroad ROW will be performed using low-pressure ' application from a specialized high rail truck equipped with a spray boom. This method is suitable for application within the buffer zone, or restricted application zone, of sensitive areas, as defined in 333 CMR 11.04. The spray vehicle is 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. Within sensitive areas a"container"will be used to catch any accidental dripping of herbicide. It 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 traveling through areas where herbicide praying is prohibited. In order to assist in rapid identification of sensitive areas in the field, a pilot vehicle will proceed approximately 1/4 mile ahead of the applicator vehicle in order to signal the location of sensitive areas. ht order to provide greater mobility and decrease the amount of time required to apply the herbicide mixture in the railroad yard areas, a vehicle equipped with hoses will be used in these areas. hi compliance with the Regulations for herbicide application in sensitive areas, the spray pressure from the hoses will not exceed 60 psi. Alternative Control Procedures Mechanical means of vegetation control are not feasible within the ballast area of the roadbed. Therefore,vegetation control of the roadbed sections located where herbicide use is prohibited shall be limited to indirect methods such as replacement of trap rock,rails,ties,or manual removal of vegetation. Touch-up techniques shall be used to control any target vegetation within the ballast that may have been missed or not treated during the initial phase. Control of vines and other vegetation that might creep onto the ballast from the roots growing outside the original treatment ' boundaries can be managed as a selective, foliage,or spot spray. No more than 10% of the initially identified target vegetation on the ROW in any municipality may be treated during a touch-up application and the total amount of herbicide applied in any one year shall not exceed ' the limits specified by the label or the YOP(per 11.03[8][C]). ' 2005 Post Emergent Yearly Operational Plan March 2005 Springfield Terminal Document No.05-003 -� Boston&Maine Corporation - - Page 4 ' V. IDENTIFICATION OF TARGET VEGETATION Whenever and wherever possible, an integrated approach to vegetation management will be implemented by encouraging plant communities that hinder the growth of target vegetation. ' Prior to a herbicide application, a review will be made noting location, density, and type of vegetation present. This information will be used to develop a herbicide application program that will be effective against target vegetation and minimize the amount of herbicide used. 1 All vegetation growing in the ballast and ballast shoulder; in yards; and around switches, signals, signs, and highway grade crossings is considered target vegetation and must be ' controlled so that it does not: a. become a fire hazard to track-carry 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. Woody vegetation growing in areas adjacent to the shoulder will be managed to promote growth of low growing shrubs. Targeted woody vegetation will be that which has the potential to block visibility or invade the roadbed and/or overhead communication lines. For a list of target vegetation see Table One. 1 1 1 ' 2005 Post Emergent Yearly Operational Plan - March 2005 Springfield Terminal Document No.05-003 ' Boston&Maine Corporation Page 5 VI. MARKING METHODS TO DESIGNATE SENSITIVE AREAS ON THE ROW Sensitive areas are defined in the Rights-of-Way Management Regulations(333 CMR 11.02) as those areas within the ROW in which public health, environmental, or agricultural ' concerns warrant special protection to further minimize risks of unreasonable adverse effects. They include,but are not limited to, the following: • within the primary recharge area of a public drinking water supply well; • within 400 feet of any surface water used as a public water supply; • within 100 feet of any identified private drinking water supply; ' • within 100 feet of any standing or flowing water; • within 100 feet of any inhabited or agricultural area; • within 100 feet of any wetlands. No si) areas are those in which herbicide spraying is prohibited. It includes track within 400 feet of a public water supply wellhead, 100 feet from a public surface water supply, a ' 50-foot radius around a private well, and 10 feet from the edge of standing or flowing water, or wetlands. Limited-spray areas are those in which spraying is restricted to one annual application of herbicides through low-pressure foliar techniques. This includes track between 10 and 100 feet from the edge of standing or flowing water or wetlands. Lengths of track within the primary recharge area around a public water supply wellhead,between 100-400 feet from the edge of a public surface water supply and between 50 and 100-foot radius around a public well, spraying is restricted to one application every other year of an herbicide through low pressure foliar ' techniques. Herbicides were not applied to these areas in 2004; therefore,application will take place in 2005. Non-sensitive areas that are upland areas and/or lengths of track without proximate sensitive areas do not require specific precautions or herbicide restrictions. ' Sensitive areas,no-spray areas, limited-spray areas and non-sensitive areas will be marked at their boundaries with permanent color-coded markers. Sensitive areas considered to be readily identifiable in the field(i.e. agricultural and inhabited areas)will not be marked. The markers will be one or any combination of the following: • color-coded signs attached to posts. 1 • color-coded signs attached to railroad ties. • color-coded painted rail sections. 1 ' 2005 Post Emergent Yearly Operational Plan March 2005 Springfield Terminal Document No.05-003 ' Boston&Maine Corporation Page 6 ' Wetland,Watercourses and Waterbodies Yellow-Limits of No Spray Zone.

' White-Sensitive area warning marker. This color indicates that the applicator is either entering or leaving a restricted spray zone. ' See Appendix B of this document for clarification. For public and private water supply herbicide application,white and yellow markers are always adjacent to a red marker. Red zones can only be sprayed once every 24 months. These areas are to be sprayed in 2005. 2005 Post Emergent Yearly Operational Plan March 2005 Springfield Terminal Document No.05-003 Boston&Maine Corporation Page 7 ' VII. PROCEDURES AND LOCATIONS FOR HANDLING,MIXING,AND LOADING OF HERBICIDE CONCENTRATES The herbicide application crew will wear protective clothing and personal safety ' equipment when mixing,handling, loading or applying herbicide,including standard work clothing or coveralls,work gloves and work boots. Latex or nitrile rubber gloves, as well as eye goggles are recommended to be wom during mixing of herbicide concentrates such as RAZOR ' and OUST EXTRA. Herbicides may cause mild eye and skin irritations. Mixing and use of herbicides shall be consistent with the labeling instructions included ' on the packaging. The herbicide mix will be prepared from herbicide concentrate and water. 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 mixture on non-porous surfaces, such as pavement or concrete. ' Sources of Water and Safeauards to Prevent Contamination Water used for the herbicide mixture will be obtained from hydrants and freshwater ' sources. During the preparation of the herbicide mixture and during herbicide application, 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. ' 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 application apparatus is at least 100 feet outside a Sensitive Area. 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. 2005 Post Emergent Yearly Operational Plan March 2005 Springfield Terminal Document No.05-003 ' Boston&Maine Corporation Page 8 ' VIII.

' Single inhalation exposure with Oust XP (Sulfometuron Methyl 758) in rats caused slight to moderate body weight loss, nasal and ocular discharge, and other nonspecific effects. ' Single high oral doses of Oust XP (Sulfometuron Methyl 758) ' produced no clinical signs of toxicity and no lesions were observed during pathological examination of tissue. Repeated oral ' studies with the active ingredient, Sulfometuron Methyl, caused decreased body weight gain, liver changes, red blood cell ' hemolytis, and altered white blood cell differentiation. Long-term exposure caused mild hemolytic anemia, decreased body ' weight, alteration of clinical chemical parameters, and changes in the bile duct. ' Oust XP (Sulfometuron Methyl 758) administered in single high dermal doses caused temporary severe to slight skin irritation and ' sporadic weight loss. ' Animal testing indicates that the active ingredient, Sulfometuron Methyl, does not have carcinogenic effects. In a two generation ' rat reproduction study with the active ingredient, Sulfometuron Methyl, decreased numbers of pups were observed at the 5000 ppm ' level, a dose that was also maternally toxic. No reproductive effects were observed at 500 ppm. ' Sulfometuron methyl did not produce developmental toxicity when tested in animals.

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 solution(122). Of the three products containing glyphosate considered here, Roundup is sold with a surfactant and Rodeo and Accord are mixed with surfactants prior to use(15).Glyphosate has been reviewed by US Forest Service(15),FAO(122), and EPA OOW(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 particular 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 particles. Soils which are low in phosphates will adsorb higher levels of glyphosate(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). ' November 26, 2003 Page 1 of 5 ' 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 application 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 persistence 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 temperature. 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 halflives for laboratory experiments 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. tTOXICITY REVIEW Acute(Mammalian) ' Glyphosate has reported oral LD5Os of 4,320 and 5,600 mg/kg in male and female rats(15,4).The oral LD5Os 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 glyphosate 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 metabolized(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). ' November 26, 2003 Page 2 of 5 Onco ep nicity Studies Several chronic carcinogenicity studies have been reported for glyphosate including an 18 month, ' mouse study; and a two year rat study.In the rat study, the animals received 0, 30, 100 or 300 ppm in their diet for 2 years. EPA has determined 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). Mutaizenicity 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 Sacchomvices cerevisiae as well as a mouse dominant lethal test and sister chromatid 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). The developmental studies that have been done using glyphosate include teratogenicity 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 agricultural 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 freshwater, 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 EC5O for midge larvae of 55 mg/L to a 96 hr TL5O for the fiddler crab of 934 mg/L(15). ' Roundup: Acute toxicity ranges from a 48 hr EC5O for Daphnia of 3 mg/L to a 95 hr LC5O for crayfish of 1000 mg/L(15). Among the insects tested,the LD50 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). November 26, 2003 Page 3 of 5 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 LC5Os 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 LC5O for the fathead minnow of 2.3 mg/L to a 96 hr TL5O for rainbow trout of 48 mg/L(15). fTests 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. ,I 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(LC5Os greater than 10 mg/L),whereas Roundup is considered to be toxic to some species of fish,having LC5Os 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 LD5Os of 4,320 and 5,600 in male and female rats respectively. 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. REFERENCE S 1.

Sulfometuron Methyl is a broad-spectrum selective weed control agent used in non-crop areas. Oust is applied pre- or post-emergence which provides control against many broad-leaf weeds and grasses through contact and residual activity.(15) ENVIRONMENTAL FATE Mobility The mobility of sulfometuron methyl has been reported in literature and the database available is complete. Sulfometuron methyl is a weak acid(pKa 5.2)and consequently,adsorption coefficients were calculated for various soils at pH values of 5, 6,and 7.In a low organic matter I soil(1%)the adsorption coefficients were 2.0, 0.8 and 0.3 at the respective pH values. This study indicates that sulfometuron methyl is more strongly adsorbed to soil as the pH decreased,and as organic matter increases.(15) Soil thin layer chromatography and adsorption coefficients were performed and calculated for four standard soils. Kd values ranged from 0.71 to 2.85 and Rf values ranged from 0.33 to 0.85 indicated a moderate mobility. In addition, soil column studies using the same four soils indicate a moderate to moderately high mobility pesticide. Koc values calculated from the soil Kd values range from 61 to 122 which is lower than the EPA guideline of 400. (101) In a field mobility study, sulfometuron methyl was applied to soil tubes in five locations(Delaware,North Carolina,Oregon, Colorado, and Saskatchewan,Canada)at a rate of 1 lb a.i./Acre.There was no report of rainfall i ' November 26,2003 1 at these sites.Each application was made at a different time making it difficult to compare results. Samples were taken for a minimum of a year and at some for two years,and at 8 cm(3 in)intervals to 32 cm(12 inches). 1 Results indicate that sulfometuron methyl is moderately mobile under most conditions.One surprising fact is that immediately after application, all locations had detectable residues in a layer below the top layer of soil,and in two locations(Colorado and Oregon) in the deepest layer sampled.All locations except Delaware also had detectable residues at the 24-32 cm layer at other times during the study.There are also indications that sulfometuron methyl would leach further than the deepest soil layer which was sampled. (102) Persistence Sulfometuron methyl is degraded by microbial action, photo-decomposition and by hydrolysis at acidic pH's. The photolysis half-life on soil is between 1 to 2 weeks and in distilled water, approximately 160 hours. The hydrolysis half-life at pH 2 and 5 is 100 and 475 hours respectively. At neutral or basic pH's, sulfometuron methyl is stable to hydrolysis.(15,100, 10 1) Reports indicate that the overall rate of sulfometuron methyl degradation in soil depends on pH and soil moisture content. Half-lives of one week were reported under laboratory conditions, but field studies at neutral pH revealed greater persistence.Increased soil moisture content resulted in increased degradation rates, but only approximately 10%. (15, 101) The soil half-life is reported as four weeks with longer times in colder conditions. A review of available studies, however reveals that the shortest half-life was six weeks in Delaware. In the same study the half-life ranged from six weeks to one year in Oregon.(15, 102) The reported half-life of four weeks is relatively short and would not be cause for concern. However, it seems evident that in most circumstances it may be significantly longer. In all cases reported in this study, the half-life was six weeks or longer and a more realistic estimate may be closer to two months. Another point discussed in the literature is the lack of any significant degradation during the cold periods of the year. Applications in the late fall could lead to longer half-lives and thereby more potential for increased leaching. The field study discusses the faster degradation rates of sulfometuron methyl in the east as possibly attributable to the more acidic and moister soils in the east.This is certainly true and may in fact have contributed to shorter half- lives, but a point which is not discussed was the timing of the applications. The two western sites were treated in early to mid-July, whereas the western sites were treated in the fall. Saskatchewan was treated in late July, but the climate at that location is cooler and becomes much colder. ' TOXICITY REVIEW Five animals per sex per group were gavaged with sulfometuron methyl suspended in corn oil at a dosage of 5,000 mg/kg. Gross pathological examination revealed slight weight increase in the lungs that were pale red with grey foci in males and similar lung effects in one female. In addition, four females had a pink thymus and one had a slight liver weight. The oral LD50 in male and female ChR-CD rats was determined to be greater than 5,000 tmg/kg.(110) The inhalation LC50 was tested in groups of five male and five female Crl:CD rats. Rats were exposed to control air or test concentrations of either 6.4 or 11 mg/L. There were no clinical or pathological differences between controls or test groups. The inhalation LC50 was greater than 5.0 mg/L (I 11) while sulfometuron methyl was tested at 6.4 and 1 I mg/L. The EPA cutoff for LC50 concentration is 5 mg1L. Acute skin absorption LD50 tests were performed on five male and five female New Zealand white rabbits. Doses of 2,000 mg/kg of pesticide were applied to abraded skin on the back of the rabbit. Clinical signs in males ' November 26,2003 2 were sporadic weight loss, slight erythema 1 to 2 days after treatment and diarrhea at 11 days. Gross pathological examination showed no changes due to the test material. The dermal LD50 in rabbits was greater than 2,000 ' mg/kg. (112) In a separate acute dermal LD50 test, four groups of five adult male and one group of five adult female New Zealand rabbits were used. Groups of males were dosed at the following levels: 1,500 mg/kg, 2,000 mg/kg, and 8,000 mg/kg and the females were dosed at 2,000 mg/kg. Clinical signs in all the groups of males were moderate to mild redness and sporadic weight loss. The animals in the two highest dose experienced mild swelling, the .� 2,000 mg/kg group showed moderate swelling while the 1,500 mg/kg group had slight swelling. Clinical signs in the females were severe to mild redness, severe to slight swelling and sporadic weight loss. There were no compound related pathological observations. There was one death in the male 2,000 kg/mg group, but it was not 1 believed to be related to the compound. The LD50 for the acute skin absorption in rabbits was greater than 2,000 mg/kg. (116) Eye irritation studies were performed by placing 10 mg of solid test material in the conjunctival ac of each of two albino rabbits. There were no corneal or iritic effect. However, there was redness (1 hour to 1 day; not washed eyes and mild for 1 hour unwashed eyes); swelling(1 to 4 hours unwashed eyes) and no discharge was observed. Both washed and unwashed eyes were normal within 1 to 2 days.(113) In guinea pigs, both primary skin irritation and sensitization tests were run. Ten animals per group were exposed to 0.05 ml of either a 50% or a 5% suspension of sulfometuron methyl. The 50% suspension showed mild to no skin irritation response in 24 hours and no irritation at 48 hours. The 5% suspension reproduced no skin irritation. There was no sensitization response.(114) The oral LD50 test was conducted with the formulation using young male and female adult Crl:CD rats, five rats per group. 5,000 mg/kg was administered by gavage in a 25% suspension in com oil. The only clinical finding was alopecia in males. Gross pathological examination showed in both males and females slightly heavy lungs that were pale to pale red with red to dark red foci and white mottling in 1 to 3 animals. The LD50 is greater than 5,000 mg/kg. Additionally in a range finding study, no mortalities were seen in doses from up to 7,500 mg/kg. (I15) Nine male albino rabbits were tested for eye irritation studies. The right eyes were treated with 0.1 ml (61.8 mg) of test material. The left eyes served as untreated controls. Results indicated a transient localized area of slight corneal cloudiness in 2 of the 6 unwashed eyes. The eyes returned to normal in 2 to 3 days. Two of the three eyes treated and washed showed a transient localized area slight corneal cloudiness and mild conjunctivitis with no iritic effects. The washed eyes returned to normal within 3 to 4 days. This compound was considered a slight to mild irritant.(117) Skin irritation tests were conducted on six male albino rabbits. Doses of 0.5 g of solid pesticide (moistened with saline)were applied to two intact and two abraded skin areas on each rabbit. Each rabbit serves as its own control; treated areas were compared to adjacent untreated areas. Observations and scoring were done by the method of Draize(118)and at 24 and 72 hours after exposure.The compound was not found to be a primary irritant on either intact or abraded skin of rabbits. (119) Primary skin irritation tests were performed on ten guinea pigs. The procedure was the same as used in testing the technical sulfometuron methyl. Doses of 0.05 ml of a 50% suspension of the pesticide in dimethyl phthalate were used. The 50% suspension caused mild to no irritation in five of the animals. No irritation was caused by the 5% suspension.No sensitization response was observed.(120) November 26,2003 3 Subchronic and Chronic Studies (Mammalian) Male and female CD-i mice were fed diets to which had been added 0, 100, 1,000, or 7,500 ppm (0, 13.3, 133, or 997 mg/kg) (a) sulfometuron methyl for 90 days. Hematological evaluations were conducted on all mice (tail cut Ibleeding at approximately 1, 2 and 3 months after study initiation. All mice were sacrificed and necropsied at 90 days. Organs were weighed and examined histologically. Male mice fed the diet containing 7,500 ppm pesticide showed reduced mean body weights and weight gains. Growth of the 100 and 1,000 ppm groups of males and all treated females was the same as that in the control group.No mortalities occurred. (121) Hemolytic effects were seen as a result of dietary exposure to sulfometuron methyl in all groups. Significant increases in leukocyte count were found in the 7,500 ppm (997 mg/kg) males. There were statistically significant changes in other blood parameters that were not dose related. Mean absolute and relative liver weights were elevated in all male treatment groups. Histological examination revealed bile stasis in five of ten males in the 7,500 ppm group. In the females, a slight increase in relative liver weight and increased hepatocellular cytoplasmic granularity was observed. Decreases in both mean and relative thymus weights were observed in all treated male groups. Thymic cortical atrophy occurred in three males in the 7,500 ppm group and one male in the 100 ppm group. Because of low frequency of occurrence 7,500 and 100 ppm and absence in the 1,000 ppm group, the thymic cortical atrophy is not considered to be related to the decreased thymus wrights. IBased on the observed hemolytic effect,there was no NOEL from this study. In a second mouse study, five groups of 80 males and 80 female Crl:CD-1 (I CR)BR mice were fed diets containing one of the following concentrations of sulfometuron methyl: 0. 5,20, 100, or 1,000 ppm(0, 0.66, 2.66, 13.3,133 mg/kg) for 18 months. Food consumption was monitored throughout the study, mice were weighted and hematological evaluations were performed at regular intervals. At 18 months, mice were sacrificed and necropsied. Mean body weights and mean body weight gains in all treatment groups except for the 1,000 ppm female group were comparable to control groups. Sporadic changes in weight gain were observed in that group. (a) In these discussions the assumptions made for conversion of ppm(diet)to mg/kg/D were: SPECIES BODYWEIGHT(ke) INTAKE((kg) Rat 0.35 0.020 Mouse 0.03 0.004 Dog 10 0.4 IWhen data was presented as ppm the does was estimated in mg/kg and is presented in parenthesis. Mild anemia was observed in the female 1,000 ppm group as evidenced by statistically significant decreases in erythrocyte count, hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit. There was also a significant increase in mean corpuscular volume and platelet count. While the hematological results appear to differ from those in the 90 day mouse study,the data indicate that there were several statistically significant changes in some blood parameters at the three month (90 day) sampling time which were not apparent at other sampling times. However, although reticulocyte smears were made, they were not evaluated and it cannot be ascertained that a response to a hemolytic effect actually occurred. If it did, a NOEL in this strain of mice for a hemolytic effect at 90 days in the 18 month study would be 5 ppm. There was a non-dose related but, statistically significant increase in the incidence of amyloidosis in the female 1,000 ppm groups, but no specific target organ was identified. The overall NOEL for dietary intake of sulfometuron methyl for male and female mice was 1,000 ppm (133 mg/kg) and 100 ppm(13.3 mg/kg)respectively under the conditions of this study based on body weight, body weight gain,clinical pathology and pathological findings.(124) November 26,2003 4 iGroups of 16 male and 16 female CD rats were fed diets containing 0, 100, 1,000, 5,000 ppm (0, 5.7 57, 285 mg/kg) sulfometuron methyl. At 1, 2 and 3 months after the study initiation, hematological,urological and clinical chemistry evaluations were performed. At the end of the study, ten rats from each group were sacrificed and evaluated pathologically. There were no differences between treatments and controls in body weight,weight gain, food consumption and food efficiency. There were no mortalities. The only clinical sign observed was alopecia in three males in the 100 ppm group. The male 5,000 ppm treatment group showed slightly elevated mean leukocyte counts, increased mean relative number of lymphocytes and decreased mean relative number of neutrophils. Due to the effects of white blood cells in male 5,000 ppm group, the NOEL dietary concentration i this study was 1,000 ppm(56 mg/kg(D).(122) Four groups of five male and five female New Zealand white rabbits were dermally exposed to either 1, 125, 500, or 2,000 mg/kg, six hours per day for 21 consecutive days. After the exposure period,three male and three female rabbits per group were sacrificed for pathological evaluation. The remaining two males and two females from each group were sacrificed and evaluated pathologically following a two week recovery period. Clinical signs observed in rabbits from all test groups including controls were sporadic weight loss and diarrhea. Histopathological and clinical pathological examination showed no compound-related effects. One rabbit did after the eighth dose from causes not related to the test substance.(123) Groups of 80 male and 80 female Crl:CD (SD) BR rates were fed diets containing 0, 50, 500 or 5,000 ppm(0,.8, 28.5, or 285 mg/kg) sulfometuron methyl for approximately two years. Hematological, clinical chemistry and urological testing was conducted a 3, 6,9,12,18, and 24 months.After 12 months,ten male and ten female rats per group were randomly selected, sacrificed and pathologically examined. At 24 months, all surviving rats were sacrificed,necropsied, and examined pathologically. TIn the female 5,000 ppm group, food consumption throughout the study was slightly depressed and overall mean weight gain during the first year and mean body weights during the second year were significantly depressed. There were no abnormalities in appearance or behavior observed during the study. Decreased erythrocyte count and hematocrit in the male 500 and 5,000 ppm groups were observed at the 24 month clinical evaluation suggesting a minimal dose-related hemolytic effect. There were no other compound related hematological, clinical chemistry or urological abnormalities observed. Mean absolute brain weights were significantly lower in the male 5,000 ppm group at both one and two sacrifice times. However, no abnormal gross or histological observation were noted. Mean relative and absolute thymus weight of the 500 and 5,000 ppm males was decreased compared to controls at terminal sacrifice. Mean testes weights of rats in the 5600 and 5,000 ppm groups were less than controls. ' Histological examinations revealed dose-dependent increases in the incidence of bile duct hyperplasia and fibrosis in the female 500 and 5,000 ppm groups at the two year sacrifice. Severity of the lesions were minimal to mild, ' suggesting a slightly toxic effect of sulfometuron methyl on the livers of these female rats. The NOEL in this strain of rat under these study conditions was 50 ppm(2.8 mg/kg/D). (125) Oncogenicity Studies Oncogenic endpoints were evaluated in the chronic mouse and rat studies for sulfometuron methyl. Crl: CD-i (1 CR) BR mice received 0, 5, 20, 100, or 1,000 ppm sulfometuron in the diet of 18 months. There were no compound related increases in tumor incidence (124). CRL:CD (SD) BR rats received 0, 50, 500, or 5,000 ppm sulfometuron in the diet for two years. There was no increase in frequency of occurrence of tumors in these rats (125). Sulfometuron methyl is not carcinogenic in rats and mice under these conditions. November 26,2003 5 Mutagenicity Testing The Ames Salmonella/microsome assay tested the ability of Sulfometuron methyl to revert four strains of Salmonella typhimurium from histidine dependence to histidine independence. The assay was performed both with and without a rat liver homogenate (S-9) activation system. The test substance was found not to be mutagenic for these strains of bacteria under the test conditions at doses from 2.5 to 1,000 mg/plate.(129) Frequency of chromosome aberrations was tested in CHO cells both with and without metabolic activation (S-9). The doses tested ranged from 300 ug/mI to 10 ng/ml in a half log series.No increase in chromosome aberrations was observed in culture exposed under the test conditions to these concentrations of the test material. (130) The CHO cell line was used to test mutations in the gene coding for the enzyme hypoxanthineguanine ' phosphoribosyl transferase (HGPRT) both in the presence and absence of an activation (S-9) system. Concentration of the test material ranged from 0 to .I mM.No mutagenic activity was detected.(13 1) 1 The ability of sulfometuron methyl to induce unscheduled DNA (UDS) synthesis in freshly isolated rat hepatocytes was tested. Concentrations of test material ranged for 1 X 10 -5 to 1.0 mM in half log increments. Under these test conditions,no induction of UDS was detected. (132) Developmental Studies Groups of 17 female artificially inseminated rabbits wee gavaged with test material on days 6 to 18 of gestation. Dosage levels were 0, 30, 100, and 300 mg/kg suspended in 0.5% methylcellulose in water. Animals were sacrificed on day 29 of gestation and fetuses wee removed by cesarean section. No treatment-related effects were observed in the maternal clinical observations or gross pathology. There were no statistically significant differences between control and treatment groups in any of the other parameters measured (maternal body weight changes, clinical observations, survival, gross pathology pregnancy rates, numbers and percentages of corpora lutea, implantations, resorptions in each maternal animal, fetal sex, viability and development). Under the conditions of this study, sulfometuron methyl was not considered to be Iteratogenic in New Zealand white rabbits. (127) A teratology study was conducted using female Crl:CD (SR) BR rats which were fed a diet containing ' sulfometuron methyl. Concentrations of 0, 50, 1,000, and 5,000 ppm were used. Thirty-five rats were used as controls, 25 rats were assigned to the 50 and 1,000 ppm group and 15 rats were assigned to the 5,000 ppm group. Rats were fed the test diet on days 6 to 15 of gestation and sacrificed on day 21 of gestation for gross and histological examination. (128) Rats on the highest dose level gained significantly less weight and ate significantly less feed than controls. The fetuses of this exposure group weighted significantly less than those of the control dams. No other adverse effects were noted in the lower exposure groups. No teratogenicity was demonstrated in this study. The minimum effect level of maternal toxicity and embryofetal toxicity was 5,000 ppm (286 mg/kg) and the NOEL under these study conditions was 1,000 ppm (57 mg/kg). (128)Reproductive studies were performed in conjunction with the 90 day feeding study in rats and the two year feeding study in rats. In the 90 day feeding study(122), six male and six female rats which had been fed diets obtaining 0,100,1,000, and 5,000 ppm of sulfometuron methyl(for 90 days)were mated and delivered litters.No adverse effects were observed as indicated by fertility, gestation,viability and lactation Indies. In addition,there wee no differences 1 between treatment and controls in the mean body weights and survival of weaning pups. In the two year feeding study(125),20 rats per group were used in a two generation, four litter reproduction ' study, initiated 90 days after the start of the long-term feeding study.Fo rats were mated. Females were allowed to November 26,2003 6 give birth and Fla pups wee followed until weaning(21 days)at which time they were sacrificed. Fo females wee again mated, but to different Fo males.Fib pups were delivered and observed. At weaning, 20 males and 20 females were selected from each dietary level(0, 50, 500,and 5,000 ppm)and continued on the treatment for 90 days. Fib rats were bred twice within their respective group, producing 172a and F2b litters. Ten males and ten females from the F2b litters were sacrificed and examined histologically. (125) IDuring the 90 day feeding period for Fl b rats, body weight and diet consumption were decreased in the female 5,000 ppm group. The number of pus born and the number of pups born alive to the 5,000 ppm groups was consistently lower in both the FI and F2 generations and was statistically significant for F2b litters. Decreased pup counts may reflect the general health status of the mother as evidenced by decreased body weight and diet consumption of the Fl b 5,000 ppm group.No gross or histopathological changes or effects on organ weights were observed in the weaned F2b rats. The NOEL established, based on this sub-study was 500 ppm(28 mg/kg).(125) Avian Toxicity Sulfometuron methyl has been tested in the bobwhite quail and the mallard duck. The 8 day dietary LC5O's were greater than 5,620 and 5,000 ppm respectively. The acute oral LD50 in the mallard duck was greater than 5,000 mg/kg. (101) Invertebrate Toxicity ' The aquatic invertebrate,Daphnia magna was tested and the 48 hour LOSO was greater than 12.5 ppm sulfometuron methyl. (15) ' Aquatic Toxicity Species tested on the aquatic toxicity studies include bluegill sunfish(96 hour)and rainbow trout(96 hour). In 1 both cases the LC5O was greater than 12.5 ppm. A life stage study was done using the fathead minnow. There were no effects observed on embryo hatch, larval ' survival or growth at concentrations of 1.2 mg/L or less. (15) SUMMARY ' Sulfometuron methyl is a material both moderately mobile and moderately persistent.A closer look at the material however, reveals that the Oust is applied at the average rate of five ounces of product (3.75 oz a.i.)/acre or 106 ' grams per acre. These studies were conducted with applications of I Ib a.i./acre. The lower application rates both minimize the persistence of sulfometuron methyl in soil and thereby diminish the amount of material which is available to leach through the soil. Therefore, sulfometuron may be used if the application rates are kept sufficiently low. This is because the soil organic material and soil microorganisms are able to absorb and degrade lower rates of pesticides. The oral LD50 in rats for sulfometuron methyl is greater than 5,000 mg/kg and the dermal LD50 is greater than 2,000 mg/kg in rabbits. 1 The sub-chronic and chronic NOELS are 50 ppm(2.8 mg/kg(D) in rates;200 ppm(i mg/kg/D) in dogs; and 5 ppm (0.66 mg/kg/D)at 90 days for the reversible hemolytic effect and 100 ppm(13.3 mg/kg/D)at two years in the mouse.This makes the mouse at 90 days the most sensitive species with a transient hemolytic effect,to sulfometuron methyl exposure.

' ENVIRONMENTAL FATE ' Mobility Metsulfuron methyl is a relatively new herbicide.The studies reviewed here have been provided by the registrant,EI DuPont. ' The soil water partition coefficients(Kd)of Metsulfuron Methyl have been determined 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 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 chromatography 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 mobiie and that the organic matter content of the Soil is a significant component of adsorption. Metsulfuron methyl was applied to tops of 12 inch columns [containing four different 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, 81% 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). Metsulfuron methyl is relatively mobile in most soils,but will be retained longer in soils with higher percentages of organic matter. November 26, 2003 Page 1 of 6 i 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 studies indicate a somewhat contradictory picture of the persistence of metsulfuron methyl. The soil half-lives in Delaware,North Carolina,Mississippi and Florida were 1 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 content. 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-lives 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 effects 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-life of Metsulf iron 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). iIn a 10---dose subacute study using male rats,a single 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%concentration.No response occurred when treated animals were challenged (112). In rabbits, moderate areas of slight corneal clouding and severe to moderate conjunctivitis 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). November 26, 2003 Page 2 of 6 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 the 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 decrease in cytoplasmic clearing of hepatocytes in the males the NOEL in this study was 1000 ppm(104). 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 ' sacrificed 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(I 11). ' 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 rabbits.These effects were not dose related.Non dose related histological effects were observed in male rabbits. This effect was characterized 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/D were: Species Body weight(kg) Intake k ) 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 increased 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 1 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) November 26, 2003 Page 3 of 6 Onco eg nicity 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 rat study;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 mglkg 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). `T¶e only ' positive mutagenicity assay was in the in vivo assay for chromosome aberrations in Chinese Hamster Ovary at high doses(greater than 2.63 m?; , 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 CrI: COBS CD(SD)BR 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 maternal 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 teratogenic 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(FI)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 172a 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 FiB rats were then fed the appropridte diet for 90 days(after weaning).There was a decrease in litter size in the 5000 ppm group in the F2a generation, but not in any other generation. 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 survival 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). November 26, 2003 Page 4 of 6 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, metsulf iron 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 IV for all other acute exposures. The chronic studies indicate no oncogenicity response and the systemic NOEL's are 500 ppm in rats and 5000 ppm in mice. There was no evidence of teratological 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.
