r�7�An important concern associated with the environmental assessment of agricultural properties is <br /> the issue of buried pesticide containers or discarded items. It was an occasional practice to <br /> dispose of containers by this method many years ago. To detect these types of underground <br /> artifacts is difficult even with the use of ground penetrating radar or other types of non-intrusive, <br /> subsurface analyses. The land surface did not exhibit visual indicators for buried containers such <br /> as surfacing of product residue, soil mounding or soil depressions. It is usually only after a <br /> contaminant plume has impacted a domestic well that pesticide containers are discovered. <br /> The static groundwater is found approximately 35 feet under the property as illustrated on the <br /> attached depth to groundwater map. This is considered a medium groundwater elevation. Deep <br /> groundwater cannot be easily impacted from pesticides or nitrogen in the form of nitrates. This is <br /> particularly true when there is intervening layers of clay soil down to the static water table depth. <br /> During our drilling procedures for the Soil Suitability Study; however,the soil profile to a depth <br /> of 12 feet consists predominately of sand. There is a hardpan layer which may have an <br /> attenuating effect on the downward migration of nitrates. The groundwater directional flow <br /> appears to be toward the northeast. <br /> Since the subject property has been in agricultural production for several years, an evaluation of <br /> environmental fate data for agrichemical residues as a nonpoint source of potential contamination <br /> was performed. The science of pesticide residues in soil, air, surface water and groundwater is <br /> extremely complex and variable. Environmental models which attempt to predict pesticide <br /> behavior and transport in the environment are beyond the scope of this investigation. It has been <br /> clearly evident over the last five decades that the risk/benefit ratio regarding pesticides has been <br /> overwhelming benefit and comparatively low risk to the United States population and the <br /> environment, as a whole. <br /> Environmental fate data for the following pesticides which may have been applied to the subject <br /> parcel are documented below. This list illustrates environmental fate data, indicating the half-lives <br /> are comparatively fast. Data was obtained from the Illustrated Handbook of Physical-Chemical <br /> Properties and Environmental Fate for Organic Pesticide Chemicals: <br /> CHLOROPICRIN. Common name: Nemax, Acquinite. Half-lives in the environment: <br /> Air: half-life 20 d by photodegradation. Groundwater: degradation <br /> time 4.3 h. Soil: Half-lives in loam are 1 d. Phytolysis: Under <br /> optimum exposure conditions to sunlight, half life is appro. 20 d. <br /> GUTHION. Common name: Azinphos-Methyl. Half-lives in the environment: <br /> Air: 12.6 hrs. Surface water: 3.2-200 hrs. Groundwater: 3.2-1440 <br /> hrs. Soil: 97-251 hrs in dry soil, 4458-4688 hrs in saturated soil. <br /> METASYSTOX-R. Half-lives in the environment: Air: 0.469-4.69 hrs. Surface water: <br /> 264-1344 hrs. Groundwater: 528-2688 hrs. Soil: 264-888 hrs. <br /> 4 <br /> Nafley Ag Research <br />
