Thf applicani has certified ihat no
cban^es, other than thtiM reported to
the Agency hare been made t-.i the
Aquatic Weed Control: Fish breathe dissolved oxygen in the water and decaying weeds also use oxygen.
When treating continuous, dense weed masses, it may be appropriate to treat only part of the infestation at a
time. For example, apply the product in lanes separated by untreated strips that can be treated after vegetation
in treated lanes has disintegrated. During the growing season, weeds decompose in a 2 to 3 week period
following treatment. Begin treatment along the shore and proceed outwards in bands to allow fish to move
into untreated areas. Waters having limited and less dense weed infestations may not require partial
treatments.
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Users should: 1) Wash hands thoroughly before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using
the toilet 2) Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on
clean clothing. If pesticide gets on skin, wash immediately with soap and water. 3) Remove PPE
immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible,
wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
For terrestrial uses: This product is toxic to aquatic invertebrates and may be to toxic to fish. Do not apply
directly to water, to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water
mark except as noted on appropriate labels. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water
adjacent to treated areas. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash waters or rinsate.
This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. The use
of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result
in groundwater contamination. Application around a cistern or well may result in contamination of drinking
water or groundwater.

will reduce the probability of spills. Placement of the mixing/loading equipment on an impervious pad to contain
spills will help prevent groundwater contamination.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Read all directions
for use carefully before applying.
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other person, either directly or through drift. Only
protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe,
consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
I 2,4-D I ~GRdUP~MM~~HERBiciD^
This product is a Group d herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to
this product and other Group d herbicides. Weed species with acquired resistance to Group d may eventually
dominate the weed population if Group d herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field or in successive
years as primary method of control for targeted species. This may result in partial or total loss of control of
those species by this product or other Group d herbicides.
To delay herbicide resistance, consider:
«--------Avoiding the consecutive use of this product or other target site of action Group d herbicides that have
a similar target site of action on the same weed species.
«--------Using tank-mixtures or premixes with herbicides from different target site of action Groups as long as
the involved products are all registered for the same use. have different sites of action, and are both effective
at the tank mix or prepack rate on the weed(s) of concern.
«--------Basing herbicide use-OR-a-eemprehensive IPM pr-egramr
•--------Monitoring treated weed populations for loss of field efficacy.
«--------Contacting your local extension specialist, certified crop advisors and/or manufacturer for herbicide
resistance management and/or integrated weed management recommendations for specific crops and
resistant weed biotypes.
For resistance management, this product is a Group 4 mode of action herbicide. Any weed population may contain or
develop plants naturally resistant to this product and other Group 4 mode of action herbicides. The resistant biotypes may
dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Appropriate resistance management
strategies should be followed.
To delay herbicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
• Rotate the use of this product or other Group 4 herbicides within a growing season sequence or among growing seasons
with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field.
• Use tank-mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use is permitted; where information on resistance in target
weed species is available, use the less resistance-prone partner at a rate that will control the target weed(s) equally as
well as the more resistance-prone partner. Consult your local extension sen/ice or certified crop advisor if you are unsure
as to which active ingredient is currently less prone to resistance.
• Adopt an integrated weed-management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and uses historical information
related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and that considers tillage (or other mechanical control methods), cultural (e.g.,
higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application method and timing to favor the crop and not the weeds), biological
(weed-competitive crops or varieties) and other management practices.
• Scout after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance development. Indicators of
possible herbicide resistance include: (1) failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the
dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2) a spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a
particular weed species; (3) surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. If resistance is
suspected, prevent weed seed production in the affected area by an alternative herbicide from a different group or by a
mechanical method such as hoeing or tillage. Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning
harvesting and tillage equipment when moving between fields, and planting clean seed.
• If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue use of this product, and
switch to another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if available.
• Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for additional pesticide resistance-management and/or
integrated weed-management recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes.
• For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Drexel Chemical Company representatives at (901)
774-4370.
Do not apply this product in less than 2 gallons of total spray volume per acre.
Chemigation: Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.

Precautions and Restrictions:
Use of this product in certain portions of California, Oregon, and Washington is subject to the January 22,
2004 Order for injunctive relief in Washington Toxics Coalition et al. v. EPA. C01-0132C, (W.D. W. A.). For
further information, please refer to EPA website: http://www.epa.qov/espp/litstatus/wtc/index.htm.
Apply this product as a water or oil-water spray during warm weather when weeds or woody plants are actively
growing. Application under drought conditions will often give poor results. Use low spray pressure to minimize
drift. Generally, the lower dosages specified on this label will be satisfactory for young, succulent growth of
susceptible weed species. For less susceptible species and under conditions where control is more difficult,
use higher specified rates. Deep-rooted perennial weeds such as Canada thistle and field bindweed and many
woody plants usually require repeated applications for satisfactory control. Consult your State Agricultural
Experiment stations or Extension Service Weed Specialists for recommendations from this label that best fit
local conditions.
Do not contaminate irrigation ditches or water used for domestic purposes. Residues of 2,4-
dichlorophenoxyacetic acid in the soil may temporarily inhibit seed germination or plant growth.
Be sure that use of this product conforms to all applicable regulations. There may be state or local regulations
affecting the use of 2,4-D herbicides in your area. Consult state agricultural experiment station or local
extension service weed specialists regarding regulations applicable to your area or specific local weed control
recommendations.
PRODUCT INFORMATION

cereal grains {Barley, Millet, Oats, Rye, Triticale, and Wheat), Corn (field Corn, Popcorn and Sweet Corn),
fallow land and crop stubble, orchard floors (Apple, Pear, stone fruit and nut). Rice, Sorghum (grain and forage
Sorghum), Soybeans (pre-plant burndown application only); forests; rangeland and established grass
pastures, including Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acres; non-cropland areas; grasses grown for seed
or sod, ornamental turfgrass; and aquatic areas.
NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are not within the scope of the Worker
Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when this
product is used to produce agricultural plants on farms, forests, nurseries or greenhouses.
Entry Restrictions for Non-WPS Uses: Do not enter or allow people (or pets) to enter treatment areas
during application. For terrestrial uses: Do not enter or allow people (or pets) to enter the treatment area
until sprays have dried.
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard (WPS), 40
CFR Part 170. This standard contains the requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms,
forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers or agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for
training, decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions
and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE) and
restricted-entry interval. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered
in the WPS.

Wind Speed
Do not apply at wind speeds greater than 15 mph. Only apply this product if the wind direction favors on-
target deposition and there are not sensitive areas (including, but not limited to, residential areas, bodies of
water, known habitat for nontarget species, nontarget crops) within 250 feet downwind. If applying a Medium
spray, leave one swath unsprayed at the downwind edge of the treated field.
Equipment
All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate
carriers or surrogates.
Aerial Application
The boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the rotor blade diameter.
When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. The applicator must
compensate for this by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind.
Droplet Size
When applying sprays that contain 2,4-D as the sole active ingredient, or when applying sprays that contain
2,4-D mixed with active ingredients that require a coarse or coarser spray, apply only as a coarse or coarser
spray (ASAE standard 572) or volume mean diameter of 385 microns or greater for spinning atomizer nozzles.
When applying sprays that contain 2,4-D mixed with other active ingredients that require a Medium or more
fine spray, apply only as a Medium or coarser spray (ASAE standard 572) or a volume mean diameter of 300
microns or greater for spinning atomizer nozzles.
Temperature Inversions
If applying at wind speeds less than 3 mph, the applicator must determine if: a) conditions of temperature
inversion exist, or b) stable atmospheric conditions exist at or below nozzle height. Do not make applications
into areas of temperature inversions or stable atmospheric conditions.
Release spray at the lowest height consistent with efficacy and flight safety. Do not release spray at a height
greater than 10 feet above the crop canopy unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. This
requirement does not apply to forestry or rights-of-way applications.
Susceptible Plants
Do not apply under circumstances where spray drift may occur to food, forage, or other plantings that might
be damaged or crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption. Susceptible crops include, but are
not limited to, cotton, okra, flowers, grapes (in growing stage), fruit trees (foliage), Soybeans (vegetable
stage), ornamentals, sunflowers, tomatoes, beans, and other vegetables, or tobacco. Small amounts of spray
drift that might not be visible may injure susceptible broadleaf plants.
Crop Injury: Injury to crops may occur when this herbicide is used as specified. If you are not prepared to
accept some degree of crop injury, do not use this product. Certain crop varieties may be more susceptible
to 2,4-D injury. Apply this product only to crop varieties known to be tolerant to 2,4-D. If you are uncertain
concerning tolerant varieties or local use situations that may affect crop tolerance to 2,4-D, consult your seed
company, state agricultural extension service or qualified crop consultant for advice.
Other State and Local Requirements
Applicators must follow all state and local pesticide drift requirements regarding application of 2,4-D
herbicides. Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
A variety of factors including weather conditions (e.g., wind direction, wind speed, temperature, relative
humidity) and method of application (e.g., ground, aerial, airblast) can influence pesticide drift. The applicator
must evaluate all factors and make appropriate adjustments when applying this product.
Page 6 of 32
Precaution; Adding oil, wetting agent or other surfactant to the spray may increase effectiveness on weeds,
but also may reduce selectivity to crops resulting in crop injury.
Read and follow all directions, restrictions, and precautions on this label and on the label of each product
added to the spray mixture. Follow the most restrictive labeling.
Fill the tank about half full with the liquid fertilizer, then add the required amount of this product with agitation.
Maintain agitation and complete filling the tank with liquid fertilizer. Apply immediately and continue spray
tank agitation during application. Do not store the spray mixture. Do not apply during cold weather (less than
40°F) to avoid spray mixture compatibility problems.
1. Rinse and flush application equipment thoroughly after use at least three times with water. Dispose of all
rinse water by application to treatment area or apply to non-cropland area away from water supplies.
2. During the second rinse, add 1 quart of household ammonia for every 25 gallons of water. Circulate the
solution through the entire system so that all internal surfaces are contacted (15 to 20 min.). Let the solution
stand for several hours, preferably overnight.
3. Flush the solution out of the spray tank through the boom.
4. Rinse the system twice with clean water, recirculating and draining each time.
5. Remove nozzles and screens and clean separately.
6. If equipment is to be used to apply another pesticide or agricultural chemical to a 2,4-D susceptible crop,
additional steps may be required to remove all traces of 2,4-D, including cleaning of disassembled parts
and replacement of hoses or other fittings that may contain absorbed 2,4-D.
Groundboom Applications
Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop canopy.
Mixing with Liquid Nitrogen Fertilizer
This product may be combined with liquid nitrogen fertilizer suitable for foliar application to accomplish
Broadleaf weed control and fertilization of Corn, small grains or pastures in a single operation. Use this
product in accordance with the directions for these crops provided in this label. Use liquid fertilizer at rates
specified by the supplier or Extension Service Specialist. Test for mixing compatibility as describe above
before mixing in spray tank. A compatibility aid may be needed in some situations. Compatibility is best with
liquid fertilizer solutions containing only nitrogen. Mixing with N-P-K solutions may not be satisfactory, even
with the addition of a compatibility aid. Pre-mixing 1 part of this product with up to 4 parts water may help in
situations when mixing difficulty occurs.
Tank-Mixing Precautions
A jar test is recommended prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility of this product and other pesticides.
Use a clear glass quart jar with lid and mix the tank mix ingredients in their relative proportions. Invert the jar
containing the mixture several times and observe the mixture for approximately 0.5 hour. If the mixture balls­
up, forms flakes, sludge, gels, oily films or layers, or other precipitates, it is not compatible and the tank mix
combination should not be used.
MIXING
Mix this product only with water unless otherwise directed on this label. Add about half of the water to the
mixing tank, then add this product with agitation, and finally add the rest of the water with continuing agitation.
SPRAYER CLEAN-OUT
To avoid injury to desirable plants, equipment used to apply this product should be thoroughly cleaned before
re-use or applying other chemicals.
APPLICATIONS
Apply with calibrated air or ground equipment using sufficient spray volume to provide adequate coverage of
target weeds or as otherwise directed in specific use directions. For broadcast application, use a spray volume
of 2 gallons or more per acre by air and 10 gallons or more per acre for ground equipment. Where states
have regulations that specify minimum spray volumes, they should be observed. In general, spray volume
should be increased as crop canopy, height and weed density increase in order to obtain adequate spray
coverage.

• Do not feed treated straw to livestock if an emergency treatment as described above is applied.
• Post-emergence:
o Limited to one application per crop cycle.
o Maximum of 1.75 pints of this product per acre per application.
o Do not exceed 1.25 lbs. a.e. per acre per application.
Apply after crop is fully tillered (usually 4 to 8
inches tall) but not forming joints in the stem
and weeds are small. Do not apply before
tillering or during early boot through the
milk stage of growth. Do not apply during
or immediately following cold weather.
Apply when weeds are approaching bud
stage, after the grain dough stage. Do not
spray during the boot to dough stage. The
1.75 pts./Ac. pints per acre application can
produce injury to Wheat. Balance the severity
of your weed problem against the possibility
of crop damage. Where perennial weeds are
scattered, spot treatment is suggested to
minimize the extent of crop injury._________
Apply using air or ground equipment to
control cereals) weeds that could interfere
with harvest, or to suppress perennial weeds.
Apply when grain is in dough stage. Do not
apply during early boot early boot through
milk stage of growth.__________________
*Usethe lower rate ifsmall annual and biennial weeds are the major problem. Use the higher rate if perennial
weeds or annual and biennial weeds are present which are in the hard-to-kill categories as determined by
local experience. The higher rates increase the risk of crop injury and should be used only where the weed
control problem justifies the grain damage risk. Do not apply this product to grain in the seedling stage.

general wind restriction is raised to 20 mph. When
applying in winds in excess of 15 mph, the
following requirements are in effect:
Aerial Application:
• No application shall be made within a distance of
1000 feet of sensitive areas such as Nature
Preserves, Wildlife Refuges, Parks, Lakes,
Reservoirs, Rivers, Streams, Non-irrigation
Canals, Natural Ponds, Estuaries, Wetlands,
Intertidal Areas, Ecologically Significant
Grasslands, homes, public or private buildings,
or fields with crops other than sugarcane
whenever these sensitive areas are downwind
from the spray areas and subject to possible
spray drift. In instances where these sensitive
areas are upwind from the spray area, the
minimum restricted distance shall be 300 feet.
• Apply only as a coarse or coarser spray (ASAE
standard 572 or a volume mean diameter of 385
microns).
• Use a spray drift retardant and/or other
measures known to control drift.
Ground Broadcast Applications:
• Apply by around boom with nozzle height no
more than 2 feet above ground (pre-emergence)
or crop canopy (post emergent broadcast)
applications or, for directed sprays, no more
than 1 foot above the ground, or 1.25 ft. (15
inches) for better spray patterns without boom
levelers on uneven terrain.
• Apply only as a coarse or coarser spray (ASAE
standard 572) or a volume mean diameter of 385
microns.
• Use spray drift retardants and/or other measures
known to control drift.

Planting in Treated Areas (Labeled Crops): Plant only labeled crops within 29 days following application.
Follow more specific limitations, if any, provided in directions for specific crops. Labeled crops may be at risk of
crop injury or loss if planted soon after application, especially during the first 14 days. Degradation factors
described below should be considered in weighing this risk.
All other crops may be planted 30 days or more after application without concern for illegal residues in the
planted crop. However, under certain conditions, there may be a risk of injury to susceptible crops. Degradation
factors described below should be considered in weighing this risk. Under average conditions, any crop may
be planted without risk of injury if at least 90 days of soil temperatures above freezing have elapsed since
application.
General Precautions:
Degradation Factors: When planting into treated areas, the risk of crop injury is less if lower rates of product
were applied and conditions following application have included warm, moist soil conditions that favor rapid
breakdown of 2,4-D. Risk is greater if higher rates of product were applied and soil temperatures have been
cold and/or soils have been excessively wet or dry in the days following application.
RESTRICTIONS FOR USE IN SUGARCANE (HI Only)
• Do not harvest cane prior to crop maturity.
• Do not apply more than 4 lbs. a.e. per acre per year.
• Limited to 1 pre-emergence application per crop cycle.
• Post-emergence: Limited to 1 application per crop cycle. Do not apply more than 2 lbs. a.e. per acre per

Fish breathe dissolved oxygen in the water and decaying weeds also use oxygen. When treating continuous,
dense weed masses, it may be appropriate to treat only part of the infestation at a time. For example, apply the
product in lanes separated by untreated strips that can be treated after vegetation in treated lanes has
disintegrated. During the growing season, weeds decompose in a 2 to 3 week period following treatment.
Waters having limited and less dense weed infestations may not require partial treatments. Other local factors
such as water exchange and sediment load can also influence the dissolved oxygen level. Coordination and
approval of local and state authorities may be required, either by letter of agreement or issuance of special
permits for aquatic applications.
RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS FOR SURFACE APPLICATIONS TO EMERGENT AQUATIC WEEDS

A. Consult with appropriate state or local water authorities before applying this product to public
waters. State or local agencies may require permits. The potable water use restrictions on this
label are to ensure that consumption of water by the public is allowed only when the
concentration of 2,4-D in the water is less than the MCL (Maximum Contaminant level) of 70
ppb. Applicators should consider the unique characteristics of the treated waters to assure that
2,4-D concentrations in potable water do not exceed 70 ppb at the time of consumption.
i. A setback distance from functional water intake(s) of > 600 ft was used for the application, or,
ii. A waiting period of at least 7 days from the time of application has elapsed, or,
iii. An approved assay indicates that the 2,4-D concentration is 70 ppb (0.07 ppm) or less at the
Example:
Posting notification should be located every 250 feet including the shoreline of the treated area and up to 250
feet of shoreline past the application site to include immediate public access points. Posting must include the
day and time of application. Posting may be removed if analysis of a sample collected at the intake 3 days or
more following application shows that the concentration in the water is less than 70 ppb (100 ppb for irrigation
or sprays), or after 7 days following application, whichever occurs first.
Text of notification: Wait 7 days before diverting functioning surface water intakes from the treated aquatic
site to use as drinking water, irrigation, or sprays, unless water at functioning drinking water intakes is tested at
least 3 days after application and is demonstrated by assay to contain not more than 70 ppb 2,4-D (100 ppb for
irrigation or sprays).
Application Date:
C. If no setback distance of > 600 feet is used for the application, applicators or the authorizing
organization must provide a drinking water notification prior to a 2,4-D application to the party
responsible for a public water supply or to individual private water users. Notification to the party
responsible for a public water supply or to individual private water users must be done in a
manner to assure that the party is aware of a water use restrictions when this product is applied
to potable water.
The following is an example of a notification via posting, but other methods of notification which convey

E. Note: Existing potable water intakes that are no longer in use, such as those replaced by a connection to
a municipal water system or a potable water well, are not considered to be functioning potable water
intakes.
Do not apply more than 2 applications per season.
Do not apply within 21 days of previous application.

When treating moving bodies of water, applications must be made while traveling upstream to prevent
concentration of 2,4-D downstream from the application.
Coordination and approval of local and state authorities may be required, either by letter of agreement or
issuance of special permits for such use.
2. Drinking water (potable water):
A. Consult with appropriate state or local water authorities before applying this product to public
waters. State or local agencies may require permits.
The potable water use restrictions on this label are to ensure that consumption of water by the
public is allowed only when the concentration of 2,4-D, in the water is less than the MCL
(Maximum Contaminant Level) of 70 ppb. Applicators should consider the unique characteristics
of the treated waters to assure that 2,4-D concentrations in potable water do not exceed 70 ppb
at the time of consumption.
Fish breathe oxygen in the water and a water-oxygen ratio must be maintained. Decaying weeds use up
oxygen, but during the period when applications should be made, the weed mass is fairly sparse and the
weed decomposition rate is slow enough that the water-oxygen ratio is not disturbed by treating the entire
area at one time. If treatments must be applied later in the season when the weed mass is dense and repeat
treatments are needed, apply product in lanes, leaving buffer strips which can then be treated when vegetation
in treated lanes has disintegrated. During the growing season, weeds decompose in a 2 to 3 week period
following treatment.
C. If no setback distance from the "Drinking Water Setback Table (Table 2)" is to be used for the
application, Aapplicators or the authorizing organization must provide a drinking water notification and
an advisory to shut off all potable water intakes prior to a 2,4-D application. Notification to the party
responsible for a public water supply or to individual private water users must be done in a manner to
assure that the party is aware of the water use restrictions when this product is applied to potable
water.
B. For submerged weed applications, the drinking water setback distances from functioning potable
water intakes are provided in "Table 2: Drinking Water Setback Distance" (below).
Water Use:
1. Water for irrigation or sprays:
A. If treated water is intended to be used only for crops or non-crop areas that are labeled for direct
treatment with 2,4-D such as Pastures, Turfgrass or Cereal grains, the treated water may be used
to irrigate and/or mix sprays for these sites at any time after the 2,4,-D aquatic application.
B. Due to potential phytotoxicity and/or residue considerations, the following restrictions are
applicable:
If treated water is intended to be used to irrigate or mix spray for unlabeled crops, non-crop
areas or other plants not labeled for direct treatment with 2,4-D, the water must not be used
unless one of the following restrictions has been observed,:
i) A setback distance described in the “Drinking Water Setback” Table was used for the
application, or,
ii) A waiting period of 21 days from the time of application has elapsed, or,
iii) An approved assay indicates that the 2,4-D concentration is 100 ppb (0.1 ppm) or less at the
water intake. See “Table 3” for the waiting period after application but before taking the initial
sampling at water intake.
RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS FOR AQUATIC SITES WITH SUBMERSED WEEDS
Do not exceed 10.8 lbs. a.e. per acre foot per application.
Table 2: Drinking Water Setback Distance for Submersed Weed Applications
Page 31 of 32
Table 3: Sampling for Drinking Water Analysis After 2,4-D Application for Submersed Weed
Applications:
F. Drinking water setback distances do not apply to terrestrial applications of 2,4-D adjacent to
water bodies with potable water intakes.
E. Note: Existing potable water intakes that are no longer in use, such as those replaced by a
connection to a municipal water system or a potable water well, are not considered to be
functioning potable water intakes.
Text of notification: Wait 21 days before diverting functioning surface water intakes from the
treated aquatic site to use as drinking water, irrigation; or sprays, unless water at functioning
drinking water intakes is tested no sooner than {insert days from Table 3) and is demonstrated by
assay to contain not more than 70 ppb 2,4-D (100 ppb for irrigation or sprays).

The following is an example of a notification via posting, but other methods of notification which
convey the above restrictions may be used and may be required in some cases under state or
local law or as a condition of a permit.
D. Following each application of this product, treated water must not be used for drinking water
unless one of the following restrictions has been observed:
i) A setback distance described in the “Drinking Water Setback Distance" fable was used for the
application, or,
ii) A waiting period of at least 21 days from the time of application has elapsed, or,
ill) An approved assay indicates that the 2,4-D concentration is 70 ppb (0.07 ppm)or less at the
water intake.
Sampling for drinking water analysis should occur no sooner than stated in “Table 3". Analysis
of samples must be completed by a laboratory that is certified under The Safe Drinking Water
Act to perform drinking water analysis using a, currently approved version of analytical
Method Number 515,555, other methods for 2,4-D as may be listed in Title 40CFR, Part
141-24, or Method Number 4015 (immunoassay of 2,4-D) from U.S. EPA Test Methods for
Evaluating Solid Waste SW-846.
