requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the State or Tribal agency responsible for pesticide regulation. AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms , forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training , decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE), and restricted-entry interval. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard . Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 48 hours. PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that in volves contact with anything that has been treated , such as plants, soil, or water, is: Coveralls, chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material , shoes plus socks, and protective eyewear (gogg les , face shield, or safety glasses). NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are NOT within the scope of the Worker Protection Standard for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when this product is used to produce agricultural plants on farms, forests, nurseries, or greenhouses. Do not enter or allow others to enter until sprays have dried. SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT A variety of factors including weather conditions (e.g., wind direction, wind speed, temperature , relative humidity) and the method of application (e.g ., ground, aerial, airblast, chemigation) can influence pesticide drift. The applicator must eva luate all factors and make appropriate adjustments when applying this product. DROPLET SIZE: Apply only as a medium or coarser spray (ASAE standard 572) or a volume mean diameter of 300 microns or greater for spinning atomizer nozzles. WIND SPEED: Do not apply at wind speeds greater than 15 mph. Only apply this product if the wind direction favors on-target deposition (approximately 3 to 10 mph), and there are no sensitive areas within 250 feet downwind. TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS: If applying at wind speeds less than 3 mph , the applicator must determine if a) conditions of temperature inversion exist, or b) stable atmospheric conditions exist at or below nozzle height. Do not make applications into areas of temperature inversions or stable atmospheric conditions. OTHER STATE AND LOCAL REQUIREMENTS: Applicators must follow all state and local pesticide drift requirements regarding application of copper compounds. Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed. EQUIPMENT: All aeria l and ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers or surrogates. For aerial applications: -The boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the rotor blade diameter. -Release spray at the lowest height consistent with efficacy and flight safety. Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the crop canopy unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. -When applications are made with a crosswind , the swath must be displaced downwind. The applicator must compensate for this displacement at the up and downwind edge of the application area by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. For ground boom applicat;on: Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop canopy. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Water hardness, temperature of the water, the type and amount of vegetation to be controlled, and the amount of water flow are to be considered in using Copper Sulfate Crystals to control algae . Begin treatment soon after plant growth has started. If treatment is delayed until a large amount of algae is present, larger quantities of Copper Sulfate Crystals will be required. Algal growth is difficult to control with Copper Sulfate Crystals when water temperatures are low (less than 60° F) or when the water alkalinity is above 50 ppm. Larger quantities of Copper Sulfate 3 6.3.A. - Page 126
