| (b) Notes. The following are referenced in column two of the table contained in paragraph (a) of this section. | ||||||||||||||||||
| (1) This study is required when aerial applications (rotary and fixed winged) and mist blower or other methods of ground application are proposed and it is estimated that the detrimental effect level of those nontarget organisms expected to be present would be exceeded. The nontarget organisms include humans, domestic animals, fish and wildlife, and nontarget plants. This requirement may be satisfied by submittal of published or unpublished information regarding spray drift patterns that would be expected to be similar to the proposed product. | ||||||||||||||||||
