Page 15 SANITIZED SUBMISSIONPage 16 SANITIZED SUBMISSIONThe PMN chemical is used to manufacture a crop protection chemical. Use of the PMN compound results in the replacement of another chemical

currently being used in the manufacture of that crop protection chemical. The chemical that it will replace is an extract from a natural source, requiring destruction and harvest of a particular tree species, from which the chemical is extracted and purified. The crop protection chemical has a unique mode of action, is less toxic to mammals, and has higher field efficacy than several of its competitors. Use of the PMN chemical increases the yield of the active ingredient in the crop protection chemical. Use of the PMN compound decreases wastes and raw material consumptions in the manufacture of the crop protection chemical by about 25%. Use of the crop protection product made with the PMN will result in less impurities and by-products being sprayed on the field along with the active ingredient. The solid and liquid organic wastes from the chemical process where the PMN compound is first used will be incinerated. Personnel exposures will be minimized and effective engineering controls and personnel protective equipment will be required in the handling of the PMN chemical.
