Toxic to aquatic organisms. Observe buffer zones specified on the label. To reduce runoff from treated areas into
aquatic habitats, avoid application to areas with a moderate to steep slope, compacted soil or clay. Avoid application
when heavy rain is forecast. Overspray or drift to sensitive habitats must be avoided. A buffer zone is required
between the downwind point of direct application and the closest edge of sensitive aquatic habitats. Refer to label for
buffer zones.
