Re: Emergency Responder Information for the Soil Fumigants Chloropicrin, Methyl Bromide, Metam Sodium and Metam Potassium

Dear Mr. Brown:

Enclosed are Emergency Responder Guides fo r soil fumigants with the active ingredients chloropicrin, methyl bromide and metam sodi um and metam potassium. These Emergency Responder Guides, have been reviewed and a pproved by USEPA Office of Pesticide Programs.

Soil fumigants are applied to the soil prior to the planting of crops to control soil-borne pests. Soil fumigants play an important role in the production of a va riety of crops, including tomatoes, berries, peppers, melons, potatoes, oni ons, carrots, fruit trees, almonds, tobacco, grapes, cut flowers, plant nurseri es, forest nurseries, and for or chard replant. As part of USEPA’s reregistration review, USEPA has impo sed numerous safety measures on the use of soil fumigants, including enhanced training fo r applicators and handlers, specific Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) to redu ce potential emissions and buffer zones, i.e. , an area around each application block where bystanders are not permitted. USEPA and the registrants believe that these steps will reduce the already low inci dent rate for the use of soil fumigants. Nevertheless, in the event that an incident did occur, the registrants a nd USEPA want Emergency Responders in your state to have the most up-to-date response information.

The enclosed information sheets were deve loped based on discussions with Emergency Responders in high use areas and, as noted above, were reviewed and approved by USEPA. For your convenience, we have included both hard co pies of the Emergency Responder Guides and a CD which contains each of the gui des in electronic format as many of you have told us that you prefer electronic format for distribution.

Dear Mr. Buff:

Enclosed are Emergency Responder Guides fo r soil fumigants with the active ingredients chloropicrin, methyl bromide and metam sodi um and metam potassium. These Emergency Responder Guides, have been reviewed and a pproved by USEPA Office of Pesticide Programs.

Soil fumigants are applied to the soil prior to the planting of crops to control soil-borne pests. Soil fumigants play an important role in the production of a va riety of crops, including tomatoes, berries, peppers, melons, potatoes, oni ons, carrots, fruit trees, almonds, tobacco, grapes, cut flowers, plant nurseri es, forest nurseries, and for or chard replant. As part of USEPA’s reregistration review, USEPA has impo sed numerous safety measures on the use of soil fumigants, including enhanced training fo r applicators and handlers, specific Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) to redu ce potential emissions and buffer zones, i.e. , an area around each application block where bystanders are not permitted. USEPA and the registrants believe that these steps will reduce the already low inci dent rate for the use of soil fumigants. Nevertheless, in the event that an incident did occur, the registrants a nd USEPA want Emergency Responders in your state to have the most up-to-date response information.

The enclosed information sheets were deve loped based on discussions with Emergency Responders in high use areas and, as noted above, were reviewed and approved by USEPA.

Dear Mr. Duffy and Mr. Bowen:

Enclosed are Emergency Responder Guides fo r soil fumigants with the active ingredients chloropicrin, methyl bromide and metam sodi um and metam potassium. These Emergency Responder Guides, have been reviewed and a pproved by USEPA Office of Pesticide Programs.

Soil fumigants are applied to the soil prior to the planting of crops to control soil-borne pests. Soil fumigants play an important role in the production of a va riety of crops, including tomatoes, berries, peppers, melons, potatoes, oni ons, carrots, fruit trees, almonds, tobacco, grapes, cut flowers, plant nurseri es, forest nurseries, and for or chard replant. As part of USEPA’s reregistration review, USEPA has impo sed numerous safety measures on the use of soil fumigants, including enhanced training for applicators and handlers, specific Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) to redu ce potential emissions and buffer zones, i.e. , an area around each application block where bystanders are not permitted. USEPA and the registrants believe that these steps will reduce the already low inci dent rate for the use of soil fumigants. Nevertheless, in the event that an incident did occur, the registrants a nd USEPA want Emergency Responders in your state to have the most up-to-date response information.

Re: Emergency Responder Information for the Soil Fumigants Chloropicrin, Methyl Bromide, Metam Sodium and Metam Potassium

Dear Mr. Young:

Enclosed are Emergency Responder Guides fo r soil fumigants with the active ingredients chloropicrin, methyl bromide and metam sodi um and metam potassium. These Emergency Responder Guides, have been reviewed and a pproved by USEPA Office of Pesticide Programs.

Soil fumigants are applied to the soil prior to the planting of crops to control soil-borne pests. Soil fumigants play an important role in the production of a va riety of crops, including tomatoes, berries, peppers, melons, potatoes, oni ons, carrots, fruit trees, almonds, tobacco, grapes, cut flowers, plant nurseri es, forest nurseries, and for or chard replant. As part of USEPA’s reregistration review, USEPA has impo sed numerous safety measures on the use of soil fumigants, including enhanced training for applicators and handlers, specific Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) to redu ce potential emissions and buffer zones, i.e. , an area around each application block where bystanders are not permitted. USEPA and the registrants believe that these steps will reduce the already low inci dent rate for the use of soil fumigants. Nevertheless, in the event that an incident did occur, the registrants a nd USEPA want Emergency Responders in your state to have the most up-to-date response information.

The enclosed information sheets were deve loped based on discussions with Emergency Responders in high use areas and, as noted above, were reviewed and approved by USEPA. For your convenience, we have included both hard co pies of the Emergency Responder Guides and a CD which contains each of the gui des in electronic format as many of you have told us that you prefer electronic format for distribution.

Soil fumigants are applied to the soil prior to the planting of crops to control soil-borne pests. Soil fumigants play an important role in the production of a va riety of crops, including tomatoes, berries, peppers, melons, potatoes, oni ons, carrots, fruit trees, almonds, tobacco, grapes, cut flowers, plant nurseri es, forest nurseries, and for or chard replant. As part of USEPA’s reregistration review, USEPA has impo sed numerous safety measures on the use of soil fumigants, including enhanced training fo r applicators and handlers, specific Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) to redu ce potential emissions and buffer zones, i.e. , an area around each application block where bystanders are not permitted. USEPA and the registrants believe that these steps will reduce the already low inci dent rate for the use of soil fumigants. Nevertheless, in the event that an incident did occur, the registrants a nd USEPA want Emergency Responders in your state to have the most up-to-date response information.

The enclosed information sheets were deve loped based on discussions with Emergency Responders in high use areas and, as noted above, were reviewed and approved by USEPA. For your convenience, we have included both hard co pies of the Emergency Responder Guides and a CD which contains each of the gui des in electronic format as many of you have told us that you prefer electronic format for distribution.
