The use reports do not include chemicals for which a permit is not required.9 The EPA's Restricted Use Products (RUP) Report10 was searched for the chemicals reportedly applied to the subject property. Based on this source, it appears that, of the agricultural chemicals reportedly applied to the subject property, only those containing methomyl, ethoprop, (s)-cypermethrin, and lambda-cyholthrin are RUPs. The U.C. Davis Extension Toxicology Network (EXTOXNET) web site" and the Pesticide Management Education Program (PMEP) at Cornell University web site12 were consulted for additional information on these chemicals. According to EXTOXNET, methomyl is a broad spectrum insecticide classified as an RUP by the EPA because of its high acute toxicity to humans. Methomyl is highly soluble in water, has a soil half-life of 33 days, and its adsorption to soil particles is weak to moderate. Consequently, methomyl has been identified as a potential groundwater contaminant. According to the PMEP, ethoprop is not expected to contaminate drinking water supplies. It degrades fairly rapidly with half-lives of 3-56 days in soil. Ethoprop is characterized as very 9 Personal Communication, November 28, 2005. 10 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA),June 2003, Restricted Use Products(RUP) Report. 11 University of California, Davis, Extension Toxicology Network(EXTOXNET), http://extoxnet.orst.edu/ghindex.htm1 12 Cornell University, Pesticide Management Education Program, http://pmep.cce.cornell.edu/ ,--44 902 Industrial Way-Lodi,CA 95240-209.367.3701 -Fax 209.369.4228 02007 Nei!O.Anderson&Associates,Inc.
