General Directions: 

Biobarrier® is a multi-year root control system which is strategically positioned in the soil 

to protect structures from plant root encroachment (see applications). Biobarrier controls 

roots by establishing an in-soil barrier plane of trifluralin, which prevents root tip cell 

division. Roots are either stopped or redirected away from structures. Trifluralin is not 

systemic but can limit root mass. The multi-year feature of Biobarrier is provided by a 

time-release mechanism which continues to meter trinuralin into the soil as the exposed 

trifluralin biologically and chemically degrades. Structure protection is provided by 

placing the Biobarrier fabric between the root source and the structure. Since the fabric 

Page 4 of 5 

11 
'.Dra~abeling submitted in response to EPA ~&r of April 1, 2005 .•• 

is flexible and permeable, installation may be custom contoured to obtain the most 

desirable root system redirection for the application andlor to accommodale obstacles. 

[ RIGHT PANEL 1 

lnstaltation Directions: 

Biobarrier® is ready for in-soil installation as received. The fabric should be in soil as 

soon as practical after removal from the sealed shipping container, minimizing exposure 

to direct sunlight and elevated temperatures. Prolonged exposure can reduce the 

effective life of the product. Biobarrier® should not be installed in water. Store any 

unused portions of the product tightly resealed in the original container in a dry place. 

Biobarrier can be installed in the soil vertically, horizontally, or as a surround. Vertical 

applications typically require standard dtlchftrench digging equipment (follow all 

applicable codes when digging below surface). Vertical fabric position can be mainlained 

by suspending it at the top with hangers. Horizontal applications may require seaming or 

hold down pegs. Surround applications may involve a variety of holding devices to 

assure fabric position. In all applications, nodules must be no furlher than one and onehalf inches apart in order to assure a continuous root conlrol plane. Fabric should extend 

a minimum of 18" beyond slructure area to be protected as roots can grow around edges 

of fabric For vertical applications, the top edge must be even with the soil surface. A 

minimum of 2~ soil overlay should also be maintained for horizontal applications. 

Biobarrier, used in retrottl applications where roots are already present, requires roots be 

interrupted with a root pruner or equivalent device and removed. Root control will not be 

effective if roots penetrate fabric at time of inslallation.

Root Control System 

Installation Instructions for 

Vertical Installation 

BEFORE YOU START: • Contact your utlllty company prior to trenching if you 

suspect service lines are present. Consult a professional 

arborist if root trimming is required. 

• Follow all EPA label instructions located on the box and 

yellow packaging sleeve when installing product. 

Additional instructions in box. 

IMPORTANT NOTES: • Biobarrier should be installed on the side of the trench 

opposite the root source. 

• Install and cover Biobarrier as soon as possible (within 

12 hours) after opening sealed yellow bag; hi9h temperatures and direct sunlight can reduce effectIVe 

product life. 

INSTALLING THE PRODUCT: • Cut a trench a minimum of 4 inches (tOOmm) wide and 

at least equal to the length of mature tree canopy plus 

10 feet. centered on the root source and adjacent to the 

structure using dean-cutting trench digging equipment 

(see figure t). 

• Cut all roots back flush 

to trench walls on both 

sides of trench. For some species, it may be neces· Silry to spray the cut end 

of the severed root on the side opposite tree 

to prevent root regrowth 

under the hardscape. [f 

this is necessary. lise a systematic herbicide and 

be extremely careful to 

avoid contact with roots on the opposite side of 

the trench. 

• Smooth soil surface to desired FINAL GRADE LEVEL on side of trench opposite root source (see Figure 2). 

• CAREFULLY open yellow bag of Biobarrier on one end to prevent damage. 

Use yellow bag to store 

any unused product. 

• Roll out Biobarrier and 

trim to proper len9th. 

Place excess matenal 

back in yellow bag and 

seal tignt~ with spare ties provi ed. 

• Beginning at one end of the trench, hold product in place 

at finished grade level on the side of the trench adjacent 

to the hardscape (opposite root source) and stake in 

position usin9 pins provided. Use Caution when handling mstallation pms ~ they are sharp. 

Pins should penetrate fabric between the nodules -1/4-

from the top edge of the fabric and at -45 degree angle to 

the trench wall (see Fig. 3). 

Enough pins are provided 

to secure fabric every 2 

feet. The top edge of the 

product must be at finIshed grade level for the 

entire length of the 

installation. 

• Backfill and tamp firmly 

to eliminate soil settling. 

Wet soil, if necesSC'ltY" 

to ensure proper soil 

compaction.

This application usually requires seaming or overlapping and/or 

hold down pins (see Seaming Instructions, page 4). If seaming 

is not feasible, then edges of fabric must be overlapped at least 

3 inches (or 2 nodules) and secured with pins in order to 

assure a continuous root control plane after cover is applied. 

111ere can be no gaps as the effective zone for stopping roots 

is 1 inch from the nodules. In new construction, it is 

advantageous to substitute Biobarrier® Root Control in place of

Place the socket pot of the two-pot system designed to make 

an airtight seal, in the ground. Cover the bottom of the socket 

pot with Biobarrier®; normally a 32 nodule pad or two 32 

nodule pads for "'15 gallon containers, in the bottom of the 

socket pot. Do not add other material that might obstruct the 

seal in the bottom of the pot. Place the grower tub pot inside 

the socket pot, turning the drain holes 9CY' to misalign holes. 

After the grower tub pots have been removed, collect the 

Biobarrier® patches and store in the plastic protective pouch 

untit next season for a maximum life expectancy of 10 years. 

Refer to General Guidelines, Page 1 

Planting Beds/Pots/Roof Gardens 

Biobarrier@ can be used to line containeriZed beds to prevent roots from growing into them, 

clogging the drain systems or breaking planter walls. Biobarrier(R) should completely cover the 

drainage medium (plus at least 1 inch up all sides) in the bottom of the planting bed, then 

adequate soil, potting mix, mulch, etc. should be added to sustain desired plant growth. 

Growth will not be inhibited until roots enter the 

Biobarrier® zone, approximately 1" above fabric. 

Careful selection of plant material is needed in this 

application. Biobarrier@ is used in planting pots to 

prevent roots from growing through drain holes. The 

bottom of the pot should be covered with drainage 

medium then the medium completely covered with 

Biobarrier®, permitting water to pass, but stopping 

roots. 

Biobarrier® can be used as the drainage fabric between the growing medium and the drainage 

medium in almost any application to prevent root intrusion into the drainage system. Roof 

gardens require site~specific custom designs, however, the above sketch is typical.

Biobarrier® Root Control 

Biobarrier® II Preemergence Weed Control 

General Installation Guidelines 

THESE GENERAL GUIDELINES MUST BE FOLLOWED IN ALL BIOBARRIER INSTALLATIONS. 

REFER TO PAGE 5 FOR INDEX OF SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS 

• Review site-specific design plan with a certified local arborist for all applications specifically for 

depth of Biobarrier required and ESPECIALLY IF ROOT TRIMMING IS REQUIREDI 

• Contact utility companies prior to d'igging or trenching in the event service lines are present. 

• Wear chemical resistant gloves when handling Biobarrier to prevent staining. 

• See product label and MSDS sheet for further information. 

• Do not allow gaps in fabric during installation or backfilling. 

• Many severed roots can regenerate, so they should always be completely removed. If removal 

is not possible, a systemic herbicide must be applied to severed roots to prevent re~growth. The 

systemic herbicide should be carefully applied, according to manufacturer directions, insuring 

that it does not come in contact with existing tree roots. This could damage or kill the tree. 

In high organic soils (>10%) with aggressive root species in close proximity to olefin plastics, 

spray or saturate trench walls with liquid trifluralin. 

• When joining two pieces of Biobarrier®, be sure they do not become separated at any point. 

Seaming can be accomplished by using construction adhesive and/or overlapping. If the latter 

is used, seams should be overlapped at least 3 inches (or 2 nodule widths). Sod pins may also 

be used for seams, but make sure there are no gaps. 

• BiobarrierzlY should not be left exposed to surface water or sunlight for more than 12 hours 

since high temperatures and sunlight reduce effective life of product. 

• Biobarrier® products are for non-food uses only. 

Biobarrier@stopsrootswithin -1 inch of a nodule. Proper placement is very important. 

It is only effective where it is!

Root Control System 

Installation Instructions for 

Vertical Installation 

BEFORE YOU START: 

• Contact your utility company prior to trenching if you 

suspect service lines are present. Consult a pro1essional 

arbori51 jf root trimming is required. 

• Follow aU EPA label instructions located on the box and 

yellow packaging sleeve when installing product. 

Additional Instructions in box, 

IMPORTANT NOTES: 

• Biobarrier should be installed on the side of the tr.ench 

opposite the root source. 

• Instal! and (over Biobarrier as roon as possible (within 

12 hours) after opening sealed yellow bag; hi9h temp· 

eratures and direct sunlight can reduce effective 

product nfe. 

INSTAlUNG THE PRODUCT: • Cut a trench a minimum of 4 Inches (100mm) wide and 

at least equal to the length of mature tree canopy plus 

10 feet, centered on the root source and adjacent to the 

structure using dean-cutting trench digging equipment (see figure 1). 

• Cut aU roots back flush 

to trench walls on both 

sides of trench, For some species, it may be neces- sary to spray the cut end 

of the severed root on the side opposite tree 

to prevent root regrowth under the hardscape, If 

this Is necessary, use a 

systematic herbldde and 

be extremely careful to 

avoid contact with roots on the opposite side of 

the trench. 

• Smooth soil surface to desired FINAL GRADE lEVEL on side of trench opposite root source (see Figure 2), 

110121602 

• CAREFULLY open yellow bag of Biobarrier on one end to prevent damage. 

Use yellow bag to store 

any unused product. 

• Roll out Biobarrier and 

trim to proper len9th. 

Place excess mate noll 

back. In yellow bag and 

seal tigntly with spare 

ties provided. 

• Beginning at one end of the trench, hold product in place 

at finished grade level on the side of the trench adjacent 

to the hardscape (opposite root source) and stake In 

poSition usin9 pins provided. Use caution when handling 

installation pinS - they are sharp. 

Pins should penetrate fabric between the nodules -114· 

from the top edge of the fabric and at -4S degree angle to 

the trench wall (see Fig. 3), 

Enough pins are provided 

to secure fabric every 2 

feet. The top edge of the 

product must be at fin· 

Ished grade level for the 

entire length of the 

installation. 

_ .. • Back.fill and tamp firmly 

to eliminate soil settling. 

Wet soil, if necessar"Y.. 

to ensure proper SOil 

compaction. 

For more information on Biobarrier, or for technical assistance, 

call toll-free: 

1-800-284-2780. 

NOTE: 

These guidelines treat a typical urban sidewalk application. 

Other installations such as property lines, building founda· 

tions, retaining walls, ornamental beds, septic systems, storm 

drains, etc. may require minor procedural adlustments.

SPECIAL INSTALLATION • INSTRUCTIONS (for unusual situations) • 

When two or more of the following conditions exist. special precautions, detailed below, should be 

followed for maximum prevention of root overgrowth of fabric. 

1. Base of potential problem tree is higher than protected hardscape 

2. Soil is over 90%, sand 

3. Tree species is aggressive, top rooting variety such as maple, ficus, etc. Consult a local arborist 

for species Questions or recommendations if necessary. 

4. Tree is closer than eight feet (2400mm) from edge of protected hardscape. 

Special Precautions (See Drawing Below) 

1. Wherever practical. build level of soil adjacent to protected hardscape to a level even with or above 

base of tree. 

2. Attach Biobarrier approximately two inches (50 mm) from the top edge of commercially available 

metal edging using hot or cold adhesive. For hot application use general adhesives hot melt 

#64x884 or equivalent. For cold applications use Maceo, liquid Nails Heavy-Duty adhesive LN-901 

or equivalent. 

3. Install metal edging adjacent to protected hardscape with Biobarrier attached. Leave metal edging 

approximately one inch above grade to prevent root overgrowth. Landscape timbers with 

Biobarrier attached to the bottom may be substituted for edging.

Containers 

Line planting container with Biobarrier®, placing material 

vertically at finished grade level, allowing it to drape down 

side, across bottom and up opposite side, ending at finished 

grade level. Pins or tape can be used to hold material in 

place. Depending on container size, it may be necessary to 

seam two or more widths together (see page 4). 

If container has a dirt bottom and roots are permitted to 

grow downward, product may be placed only around sides 

of container, attaching at top finished grade level. Width of product should be equal to, or 

greater than, the depth of container. 

Biobarrier® is used in planting pots to prevent roots from growing through drain holes. The 

bottom of the pot should be covered with drainage medium, and then covered with Biobarrier@, 

permitting water to pass, but stopping roots. 

Refer fo General Guidelines, Page 1 

Drain Lines, Utility Lines & Pipes 

Drain lines and systems and utility lines and pipes can 

be protected from root intrusion by wrapping entirely

Earth Dams, Dikes, Canals 

Biobarrier® can be used to prevent root intrusion into earthfilled structures and drain systems associated with dams, 

dikes and canals. For large areas, lengths of Biobarrier® 

can be seamed together using hot or cold melt adhesives 

(see Seaming Instructions, page 4). Pinned, overlapped 

seams can also be used. Biobarrier® is then placed over 

the area to be protected and covered to any depth with fill or 

other cover material, which can then 'naturalize' with 

surface vegetation without fear of tree root intrusion. Biobarrier@ can be used undemeath 

canals to prevent root intrusion. Biobarrier® must not come in direct contact with surface water. 

There can be no gaps as the effective zone for stopping roots is 1 inch from the nodules. In 

new construction, it is advantageous to substitute Biobarrier@ Root Control in place of most 

drainage fabrics since the geotextile in Biobarrier:!(! is a standard AASHTO drainage fabric. 

Refer to General Guidelines, Page 1 

Dig a trench where Biobarrier® is to be installed, pruning 

the roots of existing trees if necessary. Distance of trench 

from foundation should be sufficient to allow for roots to 

swell without compromising structure. Place Biobarrier® 

in the trench, securing with pins provided. Backfill the 

trench, and compact the dirt to ensure there are no gaps 

and Biobarrier(!<) is up to finished grade.

Golf Greens/Bunkers 

Dig a clean trench (extending to depth below existing roots) 

where Biobarrier® is to be installed. Remove roots on both 

sides of trench. Place top edge of 8iobarrier® at finished 

grade level, securing with pins provided, insuring thai 

product hangs straight and taut. with no slumping or 

gaping. Backfill, compacting soil firmly. Biobarrier® may 

need to go deeper under these ideal growing conditions. 

Refer to General Guidelines fPg. 1 J & Vertical Instructions (Pg. 2) 

This application usually requires seaming or overlapping and/or 

hold down pins (see Seaming Instructions, page 4). If seaming 

is not feasible, then edges at fabric must be overlapped at least 

3 inches (or 2 nodules) and secured with pins in order to 

assure a continuous root control plane after cover is applied. 

There can be no gaps as the effective zone tor stopping roots 

is 1 inch from the nodules. In new construction, it is 

advantageous to substftute Biobarrier® Root Control in place of 

most drainage fabrics since the geotextile in Biobarrier® is a 

standard AASHTO drainage fabric.

Pot 'n Pot 

Place the socket pot of the two-pot system designed to make 

an airtight seal, in the ground. Cover the bottom of the socket 

pot with Biobarrier(Rl; normally a 32 nodule pad or two 32 

nodule pads for -15 gallon containers, in the bottom of the 

socket pol. Do not add other materiallhat might obstruct the 

seal in the bottom of the pot. Place the grower tub pot inside 

the socket pot, turning the drain holes 900

to misalign holes. 

After the grower tub pots have been removed, collect the 

Biobarrier® patches and store in the plastic protective pouch 

until next season for a maximum life expectancy of 10 years. 

Refer to General Guidelines, Page 1 

Ptanting Beds/Pots/Roof Gardens 

Biobarrier® can be used to line containerized beds to prevent roots from growing into them, 

clogging the drain systems or breaking planter walls. Biobarrier® should completely cover the 

drainage medium (plus at least 1 inch up all sides) in tile boltom of the planting bed, then 

adequate soil. potting mix, mulch, etc. should be added to sustain desired plant growth. Growth 

will not be inhibited until roots enter the Biobarrier® 

zone, approximately 1" above fabric. Careful selection 

of plant material is needed in this application. 

Biobarrier<Ri is used in planting pots to prevent roots 

from growing through drain holes. The bottom of the 

pot should be covered with drainage medium then the 

medium completely covered with Bfobarrier®, 

permitting water to pass, but stopping roots. 

Biobarrier(!D can be used as the drainage fabric '----------.--'.

Retaining Walls 

Dig a trench 1" deeper than chosen material width where 

8iobarrier® is to be installed. Prune and remove the 

roots of existing trees. Place Biobarrier® in the trench at 

finished grade level, securing with pins provided. Backfill 

the trench, compacting the dirt to ensure there are no 

gaps. 

If possible, trench should be cut at least 1 foot from 

retaining wall to allow for future root swell. 

Refer to General Guidelines IPg. 1} & Verticallnsfrucfions (Pa. 2J 

Trench Drains & Septic Tanks 

Completely surround the trench or tank and stone 

with Biobarrier(R) and/or overlap seam. The 

geotextile drainage fabric also seNes to maintain the 

separation between the soil and the stone. Cut·outs 

for inflow and outflow pipe penetrations should fit 

snuggly around pipes. Wrap each pipe cut-out and 

junction with Biobarrier®, then secure with industrial 

tape or ties. Leave no gaps in the Biobarrier®.

Guardrails and Fence Rows 

Determine width of weed inhibition desired. Remove 

existing sailor plant material to a depth of 2 inches 

below grade. A one·time application of a systemic 

herbicide will help control growth until Biobarriert

- II 

herbicide zone is completely established (- two weeks). 

Cut Biobarrier-?;II lengthwise and fit by cutting 'x' shaped 

slits around rails or posts. Fabric must fit snuggly 

around rail or post to prevent weeds from growing up between it and the Biobarrie(t II. Secure 

BiobarrierTIl with pins (provided), and then add 2 inches of cover material. Rock or mulch are 

the preferred choices, however, soil, cinders or recycled shredded or chipped rubber may be 

used. In new installations, place Biobarrier'D II in width desired, place cover material, CfLqj,,~tall

Remove unwanted 

vegetation and material to 

a depth of 2 inches below 

grade. A one~time 

application of a systemic 

herbidde wilt help contain 

growth until the Biobarrier'i; II herbicide zone [s completely established (- two weeks). Position

around plant, folding flaps up close to each plant. Secure fabric edges by culling a shallow 

trench (>1 inch) and ·toeing in' exposed edge of Biobarr'ler'Y II. Pin fabric edge in trench at least 

every 4 ft. Add width, if required, by overlapping fabric 3 inches (75mm) and pinning in place. 

Add 2 inches (50 mm) of cover material. Plant roots will not grow in 1 to 2 inch zone next to 

Biobarrier@ II, so plants should be selected conSidering their normal root depth. The 2 inches of 

cover material must be maintained over Biobarrier II for long~term effectiveness.

Tree Skirts 

Determine size of area where surface vegetation is to be controlled. Cut a narrow trench with 

the edge of a shovel in desired shape. With scissors or knife, cui Biobarrier®1I on line indicated, 

through the center point, extending slits as necessary to permit fabric to fit snugly around tree 

trunk. Fold 'points' of fabric under. Bring cut skirt edges together. securing with landscape pins 

(provided in package). With lip of shovel, make 1"- 2" 

cuts in soil slightly back from edge of Biobarrier®lI, then 

tuck fabric edge in. p'ms should then be placed every foot 

around edge of skirt to prevent it being pulled up by 

mowing equipment. 

A rigid retainer around the tree can keep cover material in 

place and aid in keeping the edges of the Biobarrier(j!>11 

material in the narrow 'toe·in' trench. 

Cover Biobarrier@lItree skirt with 2" of stone, mulch or soil, This depth must be maintained for 

optimum effectiveness. Deeper cover will permit more root growth for a longer period. 

However, if a seed does germinate, even in the 2" layer, when it attempts to grow down to set 

up a viable root system, it will come in contact with the herbicide zone and cease growing. 

Exposure of Biobarrier@1I to sunlight will result in less than guaranteed life. Keep it covered.

General Directions: 

Biobarrier® is a multi-year root control system which is strategically positioned in the sOli 

to protect structures from plant fool encroachment (see applications). Biobarrier controls 

rools by establishing an in-soil barrier plane of trifluralin. which prevents rool hp cell 

division. Roots are either slopped or redirected away from structures. Trifluralin is nol 

systemic but can limit root mass. The multi-year feature of Biobarrier is provided by a 

lime-release mechanism which continues to meter trifluralin into the soil as the exposed 

Irifluralin biologically and chemically degrades. Structure protection is provided by 

placing the Biobarrier fabric between the root source and the structure. Since the fabric 

is flexible and permeable, installation may be cuslom contoured to obtain the most 

desirable root system redirection for the application and/or to accommodate obstacles.

Installation Directions: 

Blobarrier draft label 

EPA Reg. No. 59823·1 

Jan 2, 2002 

• 

Biobarrier® is ready for in-soil installation as received. The fabric should be in soil as 

soon as practical after removal from the sealed shipping container, minimizing exposure 

to direct sunlight and elevated temperatures. Prolonged exposure can reduce the 

effective tife of the product. Biobarrier® should nol be installed in waler. Store any 

unused portions of the product tightly resealed in the original container in a dry place. 

Biobarrier can be installed in the soil vertically, horizontally, or as a surround. Vertical 

applications typically require standard ditch/trench digging equipment (follow all 

applicable codes when digging below surface). Vertical fabric position can be maintained 

by suspending iI at the top with hangers. Horizontal applications may require seaming or 

hold down pegs. Surround applications may involve a variety of holding devices to 

assure fabric position. In all applications, nodules must be no further than one and one· 

half inches apart in order to assure a continuous root conlrol plane. Fabric should extend 

a minimum of 18" beyond structure area to be protected as roots can grow around edges 

of fabric For vertical applications, the top edge must be even with the soil surface. A 

minimum of 2" soil overlay should also be maintained for horizontal applications. 

Biobarrier, used in retrofit applications where rools are already present, requires roots be 

Interrupted with a root pruner or equivalent device and removed. Root control will not be 

effective If roots penetrate fabric at time of installation.

eneral Installati n Guidelines 

AESE GENERAL GUIDELINES MUST BE FOLLOWED IN ALL BIOBARRIER INSTALLATIONS 

REFER TO PAGE 3 FOR INDEX OF SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS 

Review site-specific design plan with a certified local arborist for all applications specifically for 

depth of Biobarrier required and ESPECIALLY IF ROOT TRIMMING IS REQUIRED' 

Contact utility companies prior to digging or trenching if there are possibility service lines are 

present. 

~~v 

Wear gloves when handling Biobarrier to prevent staining, 

See product label and MSDS sheet for further information. 

Do not allow gaps in fabric during installation or backfilling 

Many severed roots can regenerate, so they shOUld always be completely removed. If removal 

is not pOSSible, a systemic herbicide must be applied to severed roots to prevent re-growth, 

The systemiC herbicide should be carefully applied, according to manufacturer directions, 

insuring that it does not come in contact with existing tree roots. This could damage or kill the 

tree. 

In high organic sOils (>10%) with aggressive root species in close proximity to olefin plastiCS, 

spray or saturate trench walls with liquid trifluralin. 

When joining two pieces of Biobarrier®/ be sure they do not become separated at any point. 

seaming can be accomplished by using construction adhesive and/or overlapping. If the latter 

is used/ seams should be overlapped at least 3 inches (or 2 nodule widths). Sad pins may also 

be used for seams, but make sure there are no gaps. 

Biobarrier® should not be left exposed to surface water or sunlight. 

Biobarrier® products are for non~food uses only. 

vBlobarrier@ stops roots within ",1 inch of 0 nodule. Proper placement is very important. 

It is only effective where it is!

/"VERTICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 

Cut a trench at least 2 inches (5 em) wide, adjacent to the structure, using dean-cutting, trenching or 

root-pruning equipment. Trench length should be at least equal to the width of mature tree canopy, 

plus 10 feet. If equipment used fails to produce a "dean" trench ( no roots protruding on either side), 

then roots should be hand pruned back to the trench wall on both sides. 

f// Make sure Biobarrier is as close to the hardscape as possible to insure that top is and remains at grade 

level. 8iobarrier should be installed on the side of the trench opposite the root source, 

&~ The trench for the Biobarrier® should be positioned to stop lateral root growth, but should also allow 

for future swelling of existing roots to minimize pressure on the structure being protected . 

. //J Roll out Siobarrier® and cut to length of trench, 

~ydraulic sand can be used to facilitate compaction in any case, Compact soil to minimize settling. It 

V may be necessary to return later to fill and compact after settling. Insure Siobarrier is still up to 

finished grade to prevent roots over top; fabric should not be exposed, 

/~if installation strips are used: (enclosed in box) 

// Remove paper backing from tape located on one edge of the installation strip. 

V Place taped edge of strip between first and second row of nodules beginning at one end and 

pressing firmly to ensure good adhesion, Place installation strips ...... 2.5 feet (76 cm) apart the 

entire length of the Siobarrier® (closer if necessary, as required to make sure there is no sag 

below finished grade in top edge of fabric). 

\//()se strips to lower Siobarrier@ into trench, taking care that fabric hangs taut and straight with no 

sagging or bunching, Position top edge of Siobarrier® at finished grade level by folding top edge 

of installation strip over onto soil or hardscape next to trench. This will help to insure Siobarrier® 

is in proper position. Make sure Siobarrier is as close to hardscape as possible to ensure tOD is and 

remains at grade level, S'lobarrier should be installed on the side of the trench oppOSite the root 

source. 

(~nchor Biobarrier® by pinning Installation strips into soil using pins provided, or by putting soil or 

rocks, etc. on top to hold the strip securely in place. Compact backfill firmly to prevent settling 

later and remove installation strips after job is completed and top edge is confirmed to still be at 

grade at all points along entire length, 

/r; installation strips are not used: 

/ 

Jower Siobarrier® into trench, taking care that fabric hangs taut and straight, with no sagging or 

bunching. Position top edge of fabric at finished grade level. Anchor Siobarrier® using pins 

provided, and then add backfill carefully, so fabric is not dislodged. Compact backfill firmly to 

prevent settling later and confirm that top edge is stiJl at grade level. If settling does occur, 

additional fill may be necessary insuring Biobarrier is at finished grade for the life of the 

installation, but not exposed.

side, across bottom and up opposite side, ending at finished 

grade level. Pins or tape can be used to hold material in 

place, Depending on container size, it may be necessary to 

seam two or more widths together (see page 4). 

If container has a dirt bottom and roots are permitted to 

grow downward, product may be placed only around sides 

• 

of container, attaching at top finished grade level. Width of 

product should be equal to, or greater than, the depth of container. 

Biobarrier@ is used in planting pots to prevent roots from growing through drain holes. The 

bottom of the pot should be covered with drainage medium, and then covered with Biobarrier'!:Y, 

permitting water to pass, but stopping roots.

• • ~arth Dams, Dikes, Canals / 

Vsiobarrier® can be used to prevent root intrusion into 

earth~filled structures and drain systems associated with 

dams, dikes and canals. For large areas, lengths of 

Biobarrier® can be seamed together using hot or cold melt 

adhesives (see Seaming Instructions, page 4). Pinned, 

overlapped seams can also be used. Siobarrier® is then 

placed over the area to be protected and covered to any 

depth with fill or other cover material, which can then 'naturalize' with surface vegetation 

without fear of tree root intrusion. Biobarrier® can be used underneath canals to prevent root 

intrusion. Siobarrier® must not come in direct contact with surface water. There can be no 

gaps as the effective zone for stopping roots is 1 inch from the nodules. In new construction, 

it is advantageous to substitute Biobarrier® Root Control in place of most drainage fabrics since 

the geotextile in Biobarrier® is a standard AASHTO drainage fabric.

Vicfa trench where Biobarrier® IS to be installed, pruning 

the roots of existing trees if necessary. Distance of 

trench from foundation should be sufficient to allow for

Biobarrier® in the trench, securing with installation strips 

and/or pins provided. Backfill the trench, and compact 

the dirt to ensure there are no gaps and Biobarrier® is 

up to finished grade.

VT~iS application usually requires seaming or overlapping and/or 

hold down pins (see Seaming Instructions, page 4). If seaming 

is not feasible, then edges of fabric must be overlapped at least 

3 inches (or 2 nodules) and secured with pins in order to 

assure a continuous root control plane after cover is applied. 

There can be no gaps as the effective zone for stopping roots 

is 1 inch from the nodules. In new construction, it is

/Planting Beds/Pots/Roof Gardens 

I ,Bi6barrier® can be used to line containerized beds to prevent roots from growing into them, V 

clogging the drain systems or breaking planter walls. Biobarrier® should completely cover the 

drainage medium (plus at least 1 inch up all sides) in the bottom of the planting bed, then 

adequate soil, potting mix, mulch, etc. should be added to sustain desired plant growth. 

Growth will not be inhibited until roots enter the 

Biobarrier® zone, approximately lit above fabric. 

Careful selection of plant material is needed in this 

application. Biobarrier® is used in planting pots to 

prevent roots from growing through drain holes. The 

bottom of the pot should be covered with drainage 

medium then the medium completely covered with 

Biobarrier®, permitting water to pass, but stopping 

roots. 

\_-.../Biobarrier® can be used as the drainage fabric between the growing medium and the drainage 

medium in almost any application to prevent root intrusion into the drainage system. Roof 

gardens require siteMspecific custom designs, however, the above sketch is typical.

Determine size of area where surface vegetation is to be controlled. Cut a narrow trench with 

the edge of a shovel in desired shape. With scissors or knife, cut Biobarrier1NI on line indicated, 

through the center point, extending slits as necessary to permit fabric to fit snugly around tree 

trunk. Fold 'points' of fabric under, Bring cut skirt edges together, securing with landscape pins 

(provided in package). "Toe~in" or press outside edges of 

Biobarrier®II down into trench, Insert landscape pins at 

l' intervals around perimeter of skirt. 

> A rigid retainer around the tree can keep cover material 

in place and aid in keeping the edges of the Biobarrier@II 

material in the narrow 'toe-in' trench. 

With tip of shovel, make 1"-2" cuts in soil slightly back 

from edge of Biobarrier®II, then tuck fabric edge in. Pins 

should then be placed every foot around edge of skirt to 

prevent it being pulled up by mowing equipment. 

I fC~ver Biobarrier®II tree skirt with 2" of stone, mulch or soil. This depth must be maintained v 

for optimum effectiveness. Deeper cover will permit more root growth for a longer period. 

However, if a seed does germinate, even in the 2" layer, when it attempts to grow down to set 

up a viable root system, it will come in contact with the herbicide zone and cease growing. 

Exposure of Biobarrier®II to sunlight will result in less than guaranteed life. Keep it covered.

Dear Ms. Miller' 

April23, 1999 

••• • • •• 

This letter Jollow5 up our rccent telephone conversation with respect to the scope orille 

Worker Protection Stnndard (WPS), 40 C.F R Part 170 and Part 156, Subparl K and whether it 

applies to llse or Reclllay's Biobarrier® (EPA Reg. No 59823-1) and Biob<Lrrier® II (EPA Reg 

\10. 59823-3) products in cOlllmercial nurseries amI greenhouses. 

• •• 

As you !.:now, the !3iobnrricr® products are sheets ofpolypmpylene fabric ,vith timereleasc nodules ml1taining the active ingredient, triflwalin_ The fabric sheets are installed 

llllderground (vertically Imrizont<~ly, or wmpped around pipes or similar structures, depending 

on the particular use) and gradually rdease the trilluralin over a pcriod llfyears. They are llsed to 

provide weed control (lor cxample, 011 golfcourscs) and to prc\<ent root damage IrlJlll tree roots 

(for example, to sidewalks or llnderground structures such as septic systems, pipes, or building 

foundations). 

A qucstion Iws arisen with regard to usc ofrhe products in commercial nurseries. Unless 

the WPS applies TO the products, Reemay believes that the uscs speeitied on the existing labels, 

which include use in "planting beds:' arc brmld enough to encompass use in a nursery No 

chant;c . in thc directions for lise wOllld be necessary, and Rcclllay docs not believe nurserv use . . would pose any health or safety issues ditTerent from other uses The prndllcl is oflow toxicity 

(requiring only a "Caution" signal word) and already bears label language requiring users to wear 

appropriate protective clothing and eye protection and to wash aller handling the prnducL

While we recognize that commercial nurseries and greenhouscs are nominally included ill 

Ihe regulatory delinition of "agricuitllfal establishments" covered by the WPS and associated 

label requirements, we also believe that the BiobalTier® prochlcts are Illlldalllentally dillcrent Irom 

thc products allduse patterns that EPA contemplated whcn it promulgated the WPS. For 

example, since it is installed underground, there would appcar to be no reason for a recntry 

interval or posting (or lor the corresponding label requirements) since there wnuld bc no 

continuing expnsllre 10 the product With respcct to thc nllfsery and grccuhousc employees who 

actually installlilc Biobarrier®, Recmay does not believe tluH standard WPS label languagc would 

give any additional protection beyond that already provided by the label; indeed, giveu the nature 

oCthe product and its lise, it is not at all clcar lVitatlanguage would have 10 be added 10 thc label 

[0 mcet \\iPS requircments. 

Accordingly, would apprcciate your respnllsc tn the Ibllolving questions 

Do WPS and associ<lted label requircmcllts apply to the IISC orthe Biobarrier® 

products in commercial tnlrscrics or grecnhouses') 

2 If the WPS applies, would EPA be \villillg to waive the WPS and relatcd label 

rcquirements in light orthe natllfe of the products and tite adeqnacy of the existing 

labcllangnagc'1 

3. ICthc WPS applics alld EPA is not wiHing tn waive the reqllircmcnts, what label 

lallguage wouldnced 10 be added to the Biobarrier® prodllct labels? 

Please let lIle know if you havc any qucstions or need further information. You can reach 

me at the above telephone and fax Ilumbers, or bye-mail at elewisr(ilhdlaw com Thank YOII for 

your mtention iO this inquiry.

Dear Mr. Barnes: 

Subject: Clarification of Applicator Requirements 

8iobarrier 1-4 (EPA Registration No. 59823-1) 

Biobarrier II (EPA Registration No. 59823-3) 

Your Submission Dated May 27, 1994 

The Agency has received your letter regarding the question of 

whether an applicator's license 1s required for the application of 

the Biobarrier products referenced above. We would like to 

acknowledge that these products have been placed 1n the General Use 

classification due to minimal toxicity concerns and, other than the 

protective clothing as listed 1n the labeling, were not registered 

with any specific applicator restrictions. Therefore, EPA is not 

requiring an applicator' 5 license for the application of these 

products.

Dear Ms. Hubbard: 

Subject: Revised Labeling 

Biobarrier I-4 

EPA Registration No. 59823-1 

Your Submission Dated August 31, 1992 

The labeling referred to above, submitted in connection with 

registration under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act, as amended, is acceptable with the following 

provisions: 

1) Rewrite the second sentence of the Environmental Hazards 

section to read "Do not apply directly to water, or to areas 

where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below 

the mean high water mark." 

2} Vertical applications with the top edge flush with the 

soil surface as recommended in the application directions is 

unacceptable. In order to avoid the possibility of direct 

exposure to the pesticide-impregnated fabric, it must be 

specified that the top edge must be at least one inch under 

the soil surface. 

3) In the directions for horizontal applications, the 

recommendation of a minimum of one inch soil overlay is 

unacceptable. It is unrealistic to expect that horizontal 

applications will remain completely buried when other factors, 

such as normal erosion, are considered. This would result in 

a substantially higher risk of exposure. Therefore, it must 

be specified that the product must be under at least two 

inches of soil.

ApplJcaUons Directions: 

Biobarrier-is ready for in-soil installaJion as 

received. The fabric should be in soil as 

soon as practical after removal from the 

sealed Shipping container minimizing exposure fodirect sunlight and elevated temperatures. Prolonged exposure can reduce the 

effective life of the product. Store any unused portions of the product fightly resealed 

in the original container in a dry place, 

Biobarrier can be installed in the soil verti· 

cally ,l1Orizonfally, or as a surrOund, Vertical 

applicafions typically require standard d~chl 

trench digging equipmenf (Follow all appli. 

cable codes when digging below sunace), 

Vertical fabric p:!s~ion can be maintained by 

suspending ~ at the top w~h hangers. Horizontal applications may require seaming or 

hold down pegs, Surround applications may 

involve a variety of holding devices to assure 

fabrie position. In all awlications, nodules 

must be no further than t·t/2 in. apart in 

order to assure a confinuous root barrier 

plane. Fabric should extend a minimum of 

t8~ beyond structure area 10 be prolected as 

roots can grow around edges of tabrie, A 

minimum of t~ soil overlay should also be 

maintained for horizontal applications. For 

vertical applications. lhe top edge must be 

!lush w~h the soil sunace.

Generai Directions: 

Biobarrier4' is a muHi-year root control 

system which is Slralegically posHioned 

in the soil \0 protect structures trom 

plant rool encroachment (see applications). 8iobarrier controls rools by establishing an in-soil baffler plane of 

Ir~!uralin. which prevents root lip cell 

division. Roots are either Slopped or 

redirected away from structures. 

TrlIIuralin is nol systemic but can limit 

rool mass. The multi-year feature of 

Biobarrier is provided by a lime-release 

mechanism which conlinues \0 meier 

lrilluralin into the soil as the expoSed 

Irmuralin biologically and chemicallydegrades. Structureproledion is provided 

by placing the Biobarrierfabric between 

the roolsource and the structure. Since 

the labriC is lIexibie and permeable,

Re: Biobarrier® Registration 

EPA Reg. No. 59823-1 

Establishment No. 59823-TN-l 

Dear Ms. Miller: 

Attached is an application to amend the above referenced EPA registration. 

The amendment involves certain modifications to the current label. Ule product 

being exaet.ly the same in all respects. The label modifications for which this 

application is seeking involves the follov..ring: 

1. changing the prociuct name from "Biobarrier®" to "Biobarricr 1-4". 

The addition of "1-4" is for internal identification only as a series of "Me Too" 

products are being developed. 

2. reformatting of the label as shown in the proposed h,.bcI submitted 

herewith. 

3. the wetland statement has been amended to comply with the new 

regulation. 

4. clarifying the nature of the end lIses by specifying that the product 

is to be used for "Non Food/Ornamental" purposes and augmenting the end usc 

applications by adding the new end usc "Planting beds". Also. the end uses of 

"Waste Burial Sites" and "Landfills" in thc CUITcn!. label have becn combined as 

"Hazardous \Vaste Landfills". 

5. modifying the "Application Directions" by the folh:)l.vhl __ chah.J;~: . ." • •• • 

{i) the instruction in the current label: "A l11iniI11UI~.,f~" so$·~,t ... -lay 

should also he maintained" will be changed to "A miN1J·lum.of 1;' soil 

overlay should also be maintained for horizontal arrl:lte,ItiOrrs,1 i:; the

new label. 

(ii) addition of the following instruction in the new label: "For 

vertical applications, the top edge must be flush with the soil". 

Other than the above modifications. the contents of the proposed new label 

are essentially the same as the current label. Specifically. the chemical contents. 

the "Precautionary Statements". the "Statements of Practical Treatment", and the 

"Storage and Disposal" statements arc exactly the same. 

I will be the contact person for this application. If you have any questions 

or need additional infoI111atl0I1. please do not heSitate to contact me at 800-284-

DRAFT OF LABEL 

READ ALL DIRECTIONS 

General Directions: 

Typare Biobarr1er M is a multi-year root control system which is strategically positioned in the soil to protect structures from plant root encroachment (see above end use sites). Typare 81obarr;er- controls roots by 

establishing an in-soil barrier plane of trifluralin. which prevents root 

tip cell division. Roots are either stopped or redirected away from 

structures. Triflural1n;s not systemic but can limit root mass. Typarf> 

B1obarr1er's multi-year feature ;s provided by a time-release mechanism 

which continues to meter triflural1n into the soil as the exposed trifluralin biologically and chemically degrades. Structure protection is 

provided hy placing the Typare Biobarr;p.r- fabric between the root source 

and the structure. Since the fahric is flexih1e anrl permeah1e. installation 

may be custom contoured to obtain the most desirable root system redirection 

for the application and/or to accommodate obstacles. 

Application Directions: 

Typarfl B;obarrier is ready for in-so11 installation as received. The fabric 

should he placed in soil as soon as practical after removal from the sealed 

shipping container minimizing exposure to direct sunlight and elevated 

temperatures. Prolonged exposure can reduce th@ effective life of th@ 

prOduct. Store any unused portions of th@ product tightly resealed in the 

original container in a cool. dry place. 

Typarfl Biobarrier- can be installed in the soil vertically. horizontally or 

as a surround. Vertical applications typically require standard ditch/ 

trench digging equipment (Follow all applicable codes when digging below 

surface). Vertical fabric position can be maintained by suspending it at 

the top with hangers. Horizontal applications may require seaming or hold 

down pegs. Surround applications may involve a variety of holding devices 

to assure fabric position. In all applications, nodules must be no further 

than 1-1/2 in. apart in order to assure a continuous root harrier plane. 

Fabric should extend a minimum of 18" beyond structure area to be protected 

as roots can grow around edges of fahric. A minimum of 4" so11 overlay 

should also be maintained. 

TyparO Biobarr;er- used in retrofit applications. where roots are a1rearly 

present.< requi re that roots b@ interrupted wit h (II root prun@r or equi va lent 

device. Root control will not he effectiv@ if roots penetrate fahric at 

time of installation.
