Harmful if absorbed <br />through skin . Do not get in eyes or on clothing . Avoid contact with skin . Do not breathe dust or <br />spray mist. Wear gogg les or face shield, long-sleeved shirt and long pants, socks, shoes and <br />chemical resistant gloves made of any waterproof material. <br />For applications in waters destined for use as drinking water, those waters must receive <br />additional and separate potable water treatment. Do not apply more than 1.0 ppm as metallic <br />copper in these waters . <br />PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT <br />Mixers, loaders , applicators and other llandlers must wear t11e following : Long-sleeved shirt and <br />long pants, chemical -resistant gloves made of any waterproof materia l, shoes plus socks, and <br />goggles or face shield. Some materials that are chemical-resistant to this product are polyvinyl <br />chloride, nitrile rubber, or butyl rubber. If you want more options , follow the instructions for <br />category A on an EPA chemical resistance category selection chart. Discard clothing and other <br />absorbent materials that have been drenched or heavily contaminated by this product. Do not <br />reuse them . Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/ma intaining PPE. If no such <br />instructions for washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately <br />from other laundry. <br />USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />Users shou ld wash hands before eatin9 , drinking , chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. <br />Users should remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside.

As soon as possib le, wash thoroughly and change <br />into clean clothing . <br />ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS <br />For direct aquatic use: This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Waters treated <br />with this product may be hazardous to aquatic organisms. Treatment of aquatic weeds and a lgae <br />can result in oxygen loss from decomposition of dead algae and weeds. This oxygen loss can <br />cause fish and invertebrate suffocation . To minimize this hazard, do not treat more than% of the <br />water body to avoid depletion of oxygen due to decaying vegetation . Wait at least 14 days <br />between treatments. Begin treatment along the shore and proceed outwards in bands to allow <br />fish to move into untreated areas. Consult with the State or local agency with primary <br />responsibility for regulating pesticides before applying to public waters, to determine if a permit is <br />required. <br />Certain water conditions including low pH (56.5), low dissolved organic carbon (DOC) levels (3 .0 <br />mg/L or lower), and "soft" waters (i.e., alkalinity less than 50 mg/L), increases the potential acute <br />toxicity to non-target aquatic organisms. <br />For terrestrial use: This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates and may contaminate <br />water through runoff. This product has a potential for runoff for several months or more after <br />application. Poorly draining soils and soils with shallow water tables are more prone to produce <br />runoff that contains this product. Dnft and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms i n water <br />adjacent to treated areas. <br />Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present, or to intertida l areas <br />below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment <br />washwaters or rinsate. <br />DIRECTIONS FOR USE <br />It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. <br />Do not apply this product in a way that will contact worl<ers or other persons, either directly or <br />through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any <br />2 <br />6.3.A. - Page 125
