-------------------------------------------
EPA is proposing risk mitigation for dimethoate for Woody Ornamentals and
Christmas Tree Nurseries.
EPA is currently assuming aerial and groundboom applications at a 2 lb
a.i./A rate, an unspecified number of applications, with a 2 day REI.
EPA is NOW proposing a one lb a.i./A rate with one application and longer
REIs ( 24 days in "Non-Arid" localities and 36 days in "Arid" localities).
Please let me know in two weeks if EPA's proposal is NOT is acceptable and
why. EPA wishes to complete risk mitigation decisions within the next
several weeks for dimethoate.
Thanks again for your assistance.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or comments.
