RESPONSIBILITIES Lead Agency The California department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) is the lead agency and will continue to provide biological program review and guidance. CDFA will work in cooperation with the GWSS Science Advisory Panel, officials in affected counties, the local GWSS Task Force, and other interested parties in implementing this plan. County Responsibilities The County Department of Agriculture will act as the lead agency and County Agricultural Commissioner (CAC) will act as the coordinator for GWSS activities occurring within the jurisdiction of Contra Costa County. • The CAC will act as lead liaison to local City Councils, the County Board of Supervisors, county legal counsels, and other county agencies, regarding GWSS activities. • The CAC is responsible for promptly conducting all delimitation and intensive surveys in the county. Additional survey staff may be contracted from the California Conservation Corps. CDFA can provide on-site expertise, as needed. • The CAC is responsible for providing status reports on the results of all surveys, including detailed maps of the surveyed area and infested properties. The CAC is responsible for selection of an appropriate treatment, for notification of residents, and for identification of any sensitive sites within the proposed treatment area. • Pesticide applications will be made under the direction of the CAC. The CAC is responsible for post-treatment monitoring. ELEMENTS Delimitation Survey The CAC will immediately conduct a delimitation survey. The purpose of this survey is to quickly determine the extent of the infestation. A limited number of samples (136 properties) are to be taken within a four square mile survey. Records of properties surveyed and results of the survey (both positive and negative) will be accurately kept. (For more detail refer to Attachment 9, Delimitation, Grid Map and Survey Record). Intensive (Property-by-Property Survey) Following the delimitation survey, the CAC will complete an intensive survey of all properties within the delimited area to identify the full extent of the infestation. The CAC will: • Develop and maintain working host records during this intensive survey. • Develop detailed maps or block folders (property-by-property) of the surveyed and infested area. (Attachment 2 and 3). Treatment Options This following treatment information is based on the option of treating all known infested properties. It is intended as a guideline and may be modified to adapt to local and/or changing situations. At all stages of the program, an assessment must be made as to the probability of success. For example; If the GWSS is found to be infesting a very large area or is infesting wide areas of sensitive habitat, the local agencies will immediately consult with CDFA and the Science Advisory Panel to determine the preferred course of action. Treatment Material Selection A list of registered materials was analyzed for: 1) registered use as a general treatment for residential plantings, 2) registered on most plant species known to be hosts (feeding and oviposition) to GWSS, and 3) known to control leafhoppers. While materials are still being reviewed, currently carbaryl has the widest GWSS host range and is known to demonstrate effective control on other species of leafhoppers. (See Attachment 4; carbaryl label). Threatened/Endangered Species/Environmentally Sensitive Areas The CAC, in conjunction with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services, the California Department of Fish and Game and the CDFA will identify any threatened/endangered species and/or environmentally sensitive areas within the proposed treatment area before treatments begin. Appropriate mitigation measures will be taken in these sensitive areas. The CAC will notify all registered beekeepers near the infested area of GWSS treatment activities. Public Outreach The CAC will act as lead spokesperson for GWSS activities. The CAC, in cooperation with the CDFA, will generate press releases and distribute information. (Attachment 5). • A telephone help line will be established and staffed to answer calls concerning GWSS activities. The help line will also be coordinated to include public health and animal health information. (Attachment 5 - Page 1) • Informational meetings will be held to advise homeowners and other interested parties of treatment activities. CDFA will develop technical information and provide technical support and training, assist in the development and dissemination of literature, and act as a clearinghouse for information to the public and the press. ModicalNeterinarian Information The CAC will contact the local county health officer with details of any proposed treatment. If the officer has questions about public health aspects of the program, Dr. Peter Kurtz, CDFA's Senior Medical Coordinator can be contacted at (915) 654-1211. A "Veterinary Fact Sheet" has also been included for questions relating to pet or livestock exposure to carbaryl (See Attachment 6.) Questions relating to Animal Health can be referred to CDFA's Animal Wealth and Food Safety Services at (916) 654-1447. Pre-Treatment Notification Pre-treatment notification will be conducted through the local news media and by door-to-door notification. • Notices will include information regarding material used, precautions, date of application, and a telephone number and contact for GWSS staff. (See Attachment 7 for pre-treatment notices.) • Notices will be given "door-to-door" to infested properties and adjacent properties. General Treatment Procedures Treatments should begin following the intensive survey and after all help lines and community relations measures have been taken. Maintenance of good community relations is essential. Applications will be made by certified Pest k Control Operators under the direction of the CAC. (See Attachment 8 for contract specifications.) Pesticides will be used according to registration and label directions. Sound pesticide safety procedures will be followed. • Number of applications: minimum of two. • Interval: as allowed by label. • Rate: Follow label directions. • Post-treatment notice with re-entry statement and pre-harvest interval for treated fruits/vegetables. (See Attachment l-Page 4a & 4b for post treatment notice.) • Property treatment records will be kept. • Treatment crews must be properly trained and equipped according to established CDFA protocols for treatment of residential properties. (See Attachment 9 for sample training record) • County Agricultural Commissioners will ensure that all treatment activities are in compliance with all pesticide laws and regulations. Environmental Monitoring CDFA, in conjunction with the CAC, will arrange for environmental monitoring to be conducted by the California Department of Pesticide Regulation, Environmental Monitoring/Pest Management Branch. CAC personnel will need to work closely with environmental monitoring personnel to identify suitable sites. The following may be monitored (see Attachment 10 for environmental monitoring protocols): • Surface water, turf, foliage, available fruits and vegetables, outside air and tank mix. Identified sensitive areas. Additional monitoring may be necessary if needs are identified. However, if sufficient data are gathered which show no adverse environmental impacts, the environmental monitoring may be modified or deleted from the program. This decision will rest with the CDFA and the CAC. Post-Treatment Monitoring An assessment of GWSS populations will be conducted on a limited number of selected properties throughout the treatment area to determine the overall „ effectiveness of the treatments. (Attachment 11) • Pre-treatment sampling must be conducted and counts of GWSS must be made to determine numbers of GWSS life forms. • Post-treatment sampling must be conducted using the same protocols to ascertain effectiveness of the treatment(s). • Protocols should be developed locally in consultation with a qualified entomologist. Attachment 1 - Page 1 GWSS delimitation Grid Grid is four square miles centered on the original detection site Each square mile is subdivided into 16 subunits 64 subunits in four square mile area (1) CENTER GRID (GREEN) = 1116 square mile (40 acres) • Contains approximately 80-120 properties (assuming 2-3 properties/acre) • Survey door to door: start on properties surrounding/adjacent properties first; If additional GWSS found move to peripheral properties and sample back towards center • If GWSS found on periphery, no need to sample remaining properties (i.e. assume center grid is infested) (2) FIRST SUFFER = % of square mile or 160 acres • Actual size is 3/16 of a square mile [center grid = 1/16 of a square mile] • Each block with "2" is 10 acres • Survey (visually) two properties in each 10 acre block (3) REMAINDER OF GRID P 3 3/ square miles • Composed of 60 (40 acre) blocks • Sample (visually) this area by searching alternate grids (those colored yellow and subdivided in four subquadrants) • Sample four properties in each designated block by inspecting one (1) property in each of the subgrids Visual inspections approximately maximum of 250 properties as follows Center grid w 100 residences First buffer = 2x24 48 residences Remainder of grid = 30x4 = 120 residences When selecting survey properties outside the grid use biological bias by targeting properties that have: • Citrus and a diversity of other evergreen/deciduous host plants (i.e. oaks, crype myrtle, eucalyptus, grapes, Prunus spa , etc.) • Plants which have upright (vertical) flush (new) growth which can be sampled with a beating sheet or sweep net (eight feet high or lower). Attachment 1 - Page 2 Supplemental Yellow Panel Trapping (Optional) Place one yellow panel trap (in citrus) in each of the subunits not designated for visual survey Total = 30 traps Service traps at least twice during course of visual survey. (Traps could be rotated between the four subunits (10 acre) every 1-2 weeks to sample 120 sites over a 4-8 week period.) Note: Pattern of finds will determine subsequent survey in the grid. (i.e. May want to survey in previously non-designated grids or those surveyed to help define the boundaries of the infestation.) ..............

A siggl� soil application of,MERVTInsecticide provides icing residual control of major ornamental insect pests, up to 6 months or-longer in some cases. MERIT is a broad-spectrum, systemic insecticide that controls many common insects of trees and shrubs. Because MERIT Is systemic, soil applications are taken up by the plant roots and moved throughout the plant,protecting new growth as it develops. Soil treatment eliminates problems with spray drift. Furthermore, because applications are made to the soil, there is Less exposure to people and pets. And finally, the residual properties of MERIT make it possible to apply treatments fronn late fall through early spring (in areas where the ground does not freeze).With this broad wludcm of application, treatments may be•applied during times of the season when business x � 'ytea Inst the following pests listed on the label; > .w Agls Leafhoppers Scale insects �!► Leafminers Thrips .;"VwW titles Mealybugs White grub larvae 3apse reties Pine tip math larvae Whitefites Sawfly larvae _ P' �c >t a `S,UIL"PLICATION For best results, the soil application of MERIT should be applied before heavy pest infestation. Application timing is dependent upon factors such as plant size, plant condition, type of soil, soil mois- ture and seasonal occurrence of pest insects. For small trees and shrubs, activity against pests may occur within I to 3 weeks after application. However, depending on plant species, translocation may require a month or more. Large trees often require Z to 3 months or more before a soil treatment of MERIT effec- tively controls pests. Irrigation or sufficient amounts of rainfall after soil injection helps the roots absorb MERIT and speeds the rate of activity. The label recommends to keep the treated area moist for 7 to 10 days. The seasonal occurrence of pest insects must be considered when timing soil applications. AttadTrErYt 7 — Page 6 Questions andAnswers .nswers about Carbaryl What is carbaryl (Sevin@)? . Carbaryl is a chemical (N-methyl carbamate) useful against a wide variety of insect pests. It has beer*used since about 1956 to protect fruits,vegetables, nuts, landscapes, pets, livestock and human habitat from common insect pests. Products containing carbaryl are sold in nursery and garden stores under a variety of product names. .How does carbaryl work? Carbaryl interferes with normal nerve transmission by inhibiting an essential enzyme. While nerves are not damaged, they are unable to function normally. Insects are killed when their nervous system is overwhelmingly disrupted, and can no longer sustain normal function. How well has carbaryl been tested? Extensive studies have been performed with carbaryl in laboratory animals. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the California Department of Pesticide regulation have both registered carbaryl products for general and specific pesticide use. Residue limits are established for carbaryl on food crops. Carbaryl continues to be reviewed by government regulatory agencies on an ongoing basis, in part due to its widespread use. .What effect can carbaryl have on people? Carbaryl has been used safely by home gardeners and professional pesticide applicators'for more than 45 years. Serious poisoning can occur if enough is absorbed, which occurs primarily from concentrated spills, or accidental or intentional ingestions. People exposed to residues after proper application are not likely to experience adverse effects. Symptoms of mild to moderate intoxication by carbaryl may resemble those commonly experienced with the flu, allergies, or the common cold, and may be indistinguishable. Complete recovery without residual effects is normal. Serious poisonings, however,may require specific emergency medical treatment. What about long-terra or chronic exposure and effects? Carbaryl is readily metabolized and excreted after it is absorbed. It does not store or build up in the body. Tests in laboratory animals do not indicate that carbaryl is a cancer hazard,or that it presents a significant risk of birth defects, reproductive or developmental.abnormalities. There is no indication that laboratory animals given carbaryl for extended periods of time develop delayed or cumulative adverse effects. There is no evidence of such effects occurring in the human population during 45+years of use history. What effects might carbaryl have on other animals or the environment? Carbaryl affects a wide variety of insects and animals including beneficial insects. Any reduction of non- target insect populations resulting from application of carbaryl has been shown to be temporary. Secondary outbreaks of plant-eating mite pests can occur. Boston ivy, Virginia creeper, and maidenhair fern are reported to be sensitive to carbaryl and can be damaged. Care must be exercised in applying carbaryl to minimize unwanted impacts. Carbaryl has been used for fleas on domestic animals and on livestock without adversely affecting the animals, however, excessive doses can be harmful. Prepared by the California Department of Food and Agriculture Attachment 5- Page 1 TELEPHONE HELP LINE The application of pesticides in residential settings is an activity that always generates a broad range of public concerns and complaints. Clue to this, we will dedicate a "Help" line in our Brentwood Office used exclusively by the program for the purposes of interacting with the public in order to facilitate the insecticide applications and address related concerns. The Department has three Biologists who are fluent in Spanish. These individuals will be trained so that they are knowledgeable about most facets of the program, so that they can handle the diverse nature of the calls. The phone will be staffed during normal working hours, or anytime treatment programs are occurring. During off hours, the phone will be connected to a message recorder with the following message: "Sorry we missed your call. You have reached the Contra Costa County Agricultural Commissioner's Office after hours "Help Line" if this is an emergency, please hang-up and dial 911. if you are calling in regards to the glassy-winged sharpshooter, only those properties receiving "pink" notices will be treated. Please leave a short message, and we will return your call. Don't forget to include your address and phone number along with the "block number" located on your notice." Guidelines will be provided on how to handle illness, damage, threatening, and media calls. The Telephone Contact Log Sheet (Attachment 5 - Page 2) will be used to record all calls. The "help line" phone number is (925) 634-1728 At adirent 5 2 " GWSS TELEPHONE CONTACT LOG SHEET CALL # Date Time ' Call Taken By Left Voice Message Live Caller Type of Call: (Treatment) (Trapping/Survey) (Complaint) (Health) (Media) (Other) Language: English Spanish Vietnamese Chinese Other(specify) Caller's Name Block# Address Zip_ Phone# Property Type? _(Residential) _(Commercial) � (Public) _ (Production-Ag) What did the caller say?

Att zxiTrEnt 6 Veterinary Fact Sheet Carbaryl ("Sevin") June 2000 Carbaryl(Sevin",&)is a chemical(N-methyl carbamate)used in a wide variety of insect pesticides. It has been used since 1956 to protect fruits,vegetables, nuts, landscapes, poultry,pets,livestock, and human habitat from common insect pests. Products containing carbaryl are sold in nurseries, garden stores, and pet stores under a variety of product names. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the California Department of Pesticide Regulation both have registered carbaryl products for general and specific pesticide use.Carbaryl toxicology has been extensively studied in laboratory animals. Residue limits are established for carbaryl on food crops. Carbaryl continues to be reviewed by government regulatory agencies on an ongoing basis, in part due to its widespread use. Limited ground sprays to control the glassy-winged sharpshooter,a serious new pest that threatens California's wine industry and other important crops,will begin soon in your area Applicators have been trained to reduce exposures to pets by requesting that animals be confined indoors during treatment and that owners cover or remove pet or livestock feed and water stations. Animals should not be allowed outside until the carbaryl spray has dried. Carbaryl interferes with normal nerve transmission by inhibiting an essential enzyme (Cholinesterase). While nerves are not damaged,they are unable to function normally. Insects are killed when their nervous system is overwhelmingly disrupted and can no longer sustain normal function. Animals usually show little adverse reaction to carbaryl. However, the following are signs of carbaryl poisoning in animals': Mild poisoning: Sweating, tremors of tongue and eyelids, excessive constriction of pupils, tearing, and excessive salivation and other respiratory tract secretions. Moderate poisoning: Vomiting, slow pulse, uncontrollable muscle tremors, and more severe salivation, pupil constriction, and tearing. Severe poisoning: Unconsciousness, diarrhea, pinpoint and non-reactive pupils, loss of reflexes, loss of sphincter control, coma, convulsions, and cyanosis. Non-cyanotic animals showing signs of carbaryl poisoning should be treated with atropine until the animal's pupils dilate and salivation stops. Atropine should not be given to a cyanotic animal. While it is unlikely that the ground sprays at the concentrations used will affect any animal, we realize that animals become ill every day for a variety of reasons. If any homeowner attributes their animal's illness to the spray program, they will be encouraged to seek care for their animals through their local veterinary practitioner. CDFA is interested in investigating and documenting any cases of possible adverse health effects on animals associated with this spraying program. Should you feel that you have such a case, please contact the CDFA Animal Health Branch at(916)654- 1447.

MTRODUCTION The California Department of Food and Agriculture(CDFA)proposes to use ground applications of carbaryl and maybe other insecticides to manage glassy-winged sharpshooter(GWSS) infestations in California. The glassy-winged sharpshooter(Homalodi.sca coagulate)is a serious new pest in Central California. It can feed on over 70 specie§of crop and ornamental plants. It poses a serious threat to the vineyards due to its ability to spread.Xylella,fastidiosa,the bacterium that causes incurable Pierce's disease in grapes. The sharpshooter can also vector diseases to' almond,alfalfa,oleander and citrus (UC 1999). The Environmental Hazards Assessment Program(EHAP)of the Department of Pesticide Regulation(DPR)will conduct monitoring of selected treatments to provide information on the concentrations of the chemical in various environmental media that may include.surface, irrigation runoff, and storm runoff water,turf, soil and air. Additionally,representative backyard vegetables and fruits will be sampled. In the event that ecologically sensitive areas are present toxicity to aquatic organisms will also be determined in surface water. This proposed monitoring plan follows the general models in previous studies of carbaryl and other insecticides applied in gypsy moth eradication projects(Neper et al. 1982;Weaver et al. 1983)and in Japanese beetle eradication projects (Segawa 1988). This proposed monitoring plan will be followed for each application event. More than one application event may be monitored;the total number of events to be monitored will be decided when the extent of the treatment program is known. The final matrices and total nuinbers of samples collected will be determined once this information is available. The monitoring data will be used by CDFA to assess proper application rate and coverage and to estimate public exposure to the application. II. OBJECTIVE The objectives of this study are to 1) Measure the amount of carbaryl (or other GWSS insecticides) in air, selective backyard vegetable and fruit, surface, irrigation runoff and storm runoff waters. Turf or soil may also be monitored. . 2) Measure dissipation half-live of carbaryl in soil. and turf, if turf or soil is sprayed. III. PERSONN_9L This study will be conducted by EHAP under the general direction of lean S. Goh, Agriculture Program Supervisor IV. Key personnel include: .Project Leader.Roger Sava Field Coordinator.Nina Bacey and Johanna'halters Statistician:Terri Barry Laboratory Liaison: Carissa Ganapathy Analyzing Laboratory; California Department of Food and Agriculture, Center for Analytical Chemistry Agency and Public Contact; Kean S. Goh at(916)3244072,kgoh@cdpr.ca.gov IV. StMY DESIGN . The current GWSS infestations in Northern California are mainly in the Tulare and Fresno County. Proposed application sites cover nine square miles including residential areas. Multiple applications of 2-3 sprays at 7-14 day interval have been proposed.The following sampling plan represents one application event. Some matrices may be sampled at the end of the multiple treatments to provide data on worst-case scenario. Surface water sampling may occur outside . treatment areas if they receive runoff water from within the treatment area. Vegetation and air monitoring will occur at the application sites. t Tank Samples will be taken at the ten sites selected for monitoring of environmental matrices. This is to ensure that correct rate of chemical has been applied. A leafy vegetable and a fruit will be sampled at 10 sites after the elapsed of designated preharvest interval for each crop. Samples will be analyzed far total residues. Prespray samples will be taken. Turf and/or surface soil. In.the event that turf or soil are treated or heavily impacted from the : sprays than samples will be collected from 10 application sites. Collection will occur after spray has dried to*determine the maximum concentrations in treated areas..Turf samples will be analyzed for dislodgeable residue only. At five of the 10 sites, samples will be collected for up to eight additional sampling dates to determine dissipation rates.of insecticide in turf and soil. Dissipation sampling for turf and/or soil may be performed offsite in a controlled setting due to complications with mowing,cultivating and irrigation practices.. Half-lives will be estimated using standard statistical methods. Air samples will be collected. Samples will.be collected at fives sites in the highest use area to measure ambient insecticide concentrations. The samples will be collected for a 24-hour period before application (background). from the start of application a 24-hour sample will be taken at each of the five sites follow by another 24-post-application sampling. Sampling will be time for peak application period. Surface waterways containing residential and agricultural irrigation runoff will be monitored, ' ..: both prior to and following applications to determine insecticide concentrations. Additionally, 2 . r accessible storm runoff sites will be monitored during rain runoff.events to determine concentrations due to wash off`from exposed*surfaces. During the first rain event after the initial application, samples will be collected at points of discharge and/or at areas of concern for aquatic organisms.The number and frequency of samples collected will depend on availability and sensitivity of water bodies and on the intensity and.duration of the runoff event. Aquatic toxicity. If the application areas-have ecologically sensitive site,surface water samples will be tested for aquatic toxicity. DFG will assist in the selection of aquatic species for toxicity testing. The species selected will depend upon the origin of the water samples. Toxicity testing will use U. S.Environmental Protection Agency(1993) and American Society for Testing of Materials(1992)methods. Water quality parameters(alkalinity,hardness,electrical conductivity, ammonia,pH,dissolved oxygen,and water temperature)will also be measured. V. ' SAMPLING METHODS Tank Samlple. Distinct well-mixed tank sample will be taken from each of the'ten sites. Sample in 1-L amber bottle will be kept on wet ice until analysis. 10 sites x 1 sample/site=10 samples Fruit&Vegetable. A leafy vegetable and a fruit will be sampled after their respective preharvest interval has elapsed. Two one-pound sample of each will be taken from 10 sites and placed in paper bag and stored on dry ice until extraction. 10 sites x 2 samples x 2 plant parts=40 samples Turf. In the event that turf is sprayed, a single turf-thatch sample composited from turf-thatch plugs collected from at least four randomly selected subsites within an application site will be taken. Two turf samples will be collected at each application site. Samples will be collected using a rubber mallet to drive a 6.3-cm i.d., stainless steel cylinder approximately 10 cm into the soil/turf.The cylinder containing the soil/turfplug is removed from the earth,and then the core is removed(pushed) from the cylinder. The turf-thatch will be cut off and placed in wide-mouth,. glass jars,and sealed with an aluminum foil lined lid. The number of turf-thatch cores collepted and the corresponding turf-thatch weight will be recorded on each sample's COC. In the field, samples will be stored on dry ice or refrigerated at-20°C until extraction. 10 sites x 2 samples/site=20 residue samples 5 sites x 8 periods=40 dissipation samples Soil. In the event that soil is sprayed or heavily impacted, four soil cores will be collected at four randomly selected subsites within an application site. Two soil samples will.be collected at each application site. Soil cores will be collected by inserting a 6.3-cm internal diameter(i.d.), stainless steel cylinder into the soil to a depth of 2.5 cm. The soil cores will be placed into a glass jar and sealed with an aluminum foil lined lid. The number of soil cores collected and corresponding soil weight will be recorded on each sample's chain of custody(COC). In the field, samples will be stored on dry ice or refrigerated at-20°C until extraction. 3 10 sites x 2 samples/site=20 samples 5 sites x 8 periods -=40 dissipation samples Air. Five sites,centrally located in the treatment area,will be sampled to measure outdoor ambient air concentrations of insecticide. These sites will be located within a circular area measuring one-half mile in diameter. Sites must also be accessible at all hours,protected from any direct spray, and have electrical power to run the samplers. Anderson model SE-114 sampling pumps,calibrated to IS liters/min,mounted with XA.D-4 resin tubes as the trapping medium will be used at each site. The samples will be collected for a 24-hour period before application(background),24 hours starting at application, and 24 hours post-spray. 5 sites x 3 sample periods x 1 sample/site=20 samples Surface water. Surface water samples will be collected using a depth-integrated sampler(D-77) with a Miter TeflonlD bottle and nozzle. Five to twenty vertical depth integrated samples will be composited at each site. At sites where the D-77 sampler cannot be used, due to insufficient water depth or access; a grab sample will be collected. Crab samples will be collected as close to center channel as possible using a 10-liter stainless steel bucket or a grab pole consisting of a glass bottle at the end of a 5-foot pole. Samples will be split into amber glass bottles using a' GeotechO 10-port splitter then sealed with Teflon(&-lined lids. Samples to be analyzed for pesticides will be preserved(if needed)by acidification with 3N hydrochloric acid to a pH between 3.0 to 3.5, and then samples will be stored on wet ice or refrigerated at 5°C until extraction. Toxicity samples will be delivered on wet ice to the CDFG Aquatic Toxicity Laboratory within 30 hours. Est. 5 sites x 5 periods x 1 sample/site/period=25 samples VI. CHEMICAL ANALYSIS/TONICITY TESTING Chemical analysit will be performed by the CDFA's Center for Analytical Chemistry. Analytical methods are being validated and quality control measures are described in Segawa.(1995). In the event that toxicity testing is deemed necessary,DFG's Aquatic Toxicology Laboratory will perform aquatic toxicity tests on surface water samples and measure totals of alkalinity,hardness and ammonia. VII. DATA ANALYSIS Concentrations for dislodgeable residues of insecticide in turf/thatch will be reported as milligrams per square meter(mg/m2) and parts per million(ppm) wet weight and dry weight; soil concentrations will be reported as ppm and mg/m2 on a wet weight and dry weight basis. Concentrations of total residues in fruit and leafy vegetable will be reported as ug/g or ppm wet weight basis. Concentrations of insecticide in air will be reported as both micrograms per cubic meter(Ug/m3) and parts per trillion(ppt), and water concentrations will be reported as both micrograms per liter(ug/L) and parts per billion(ppb). When sample size permits, means, percentiles and fregnency histograms will be presented. Toxicity data will be presented as percent survival. Water concentrations will be compared with toxicity data to aid in the interpretation of toxicity test results. 4 REFERENCES American Society for Testing of Materials. 1992.
