FCom" on name: Agritan,Anofex,Azotox,etal. \ Half-lives in the environment: Air: 17.7-177 h. Surface water: 73.9 h for a pond I m deep. Degradation half-life of about 10 yr-average from loss rates determined in Lake Michigan. Groundwater: 16 d to 31.3 yr. Sediment: 3 to 5 yr Soil:2-15.6 yrs based on observed rates of biodegradation in aerobic soils under field conditions. Avg. half life of-12 yrs in 3 different soils for -50 ppm in soil.(conversion of p,p'-DDT to p,p'-DDE). Environmental Fate Rate Constants or Half-Lives: Volatilization: Half-life of 3.7 d for water depth of I in, from soil w/h-I of 578 h Oxidation: Photooxidation half-life of 168-8400 h in water, 17.7-177 h in air Hydrolysis: Estimated first-order half life of 22 yr Biodegradation: Aqueous aerobic half-life of 2-15.6 yrs DDE. Common name: DDE(p,p'-DDE; o,p'-DDE),product of DDT degradation.

Environmental Fate Rate Constants or Half-Lives: Volatilisation:N/A Oxidation: N/A Hydrolysis:>120 yr DDD. Common name:DDD,TDE(tetrachlorodiphenylethane),product of DDT deg. Half-lives in the environment: Air: 17.7-177 h .Surface water: 2-15.6 yr. Groundwater: 1680-270,000 h based on anaerobic soil study data Sediment:N/A Soil: Field half life of 2-15.6 yrs based on observed rates of biodeg.of DDT Biota: 119 hr in mussels. Environmental Fate Rate Constants or Half-Lives: Volatilization:Aquatic approx. 1 mo.Oxidation: Aquatic half-life approx. 22 yr §3.5 Descriptions of all current off-site potential and/or known above and below ground sources of contamination identified in the area of the project site include those referenced in Sections 3.2,3.3, and 3.4 above. These listed sites can be considered "past" off-site sources of contamination that are simultaneously"current"contaminated sources. § 4.0 EVALUATION OF PAST AND CURRENT SOURCES OF CONTAMINATION IDENTIFIED AT OR NEAR THE SITE AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FURTHER ACTION § 4.1 Evaluation of each potential and/or known source of contamination identified in the above Sections have been discussed in the respective Sections to facilitate the transfer of information to the reader.
