### Biobarrier® can be used to prevent root intrusion into earthfilled structures and drain systems associated with dams, dikes and canals. Forlarge areas, lengths ofBiobarrier®
can be seamed together using hot orcold 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 oftree root intrusion. Biobarrier® can be llsed underneath canals to prevent root intrusion. Biobarrier® must not corne in direct contact with surface water. There can be no gaps as the effective zone for stopping roots is 1inch from the nodules. In new construction, it is advantageous to substitute Biobarrier® Root Control in place ofmost drainage fabrics since the geotextile in Biobarrier® is a standard AASHTO drainage fabric.

Refer to General Guidelines. Page 1

Foundations 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 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.

### Dig a clean trench (extending to depth below existing roots) where Biobarrier® is to be installed. Remove roots on both sides oftrench. Place top edge ofBiobarrier® at finished grade level, securing with installation strips andlor pins provided, insuring that product hangs straight and taut, with
no slumping orgaping. Backfill, compacting soil firmly. Biobarrier® may need to go deeper under these ideal growing conditions

This application usually requires seaming or overlapping and/or hold down pins (see Seaming Instructions, page 4). Ifseaming 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 advantageous to substitute Biobarrier® Root Control in place of most drainage fabrics since the geotextile in Biobarrier® is a standard AASHTO drainage fabric.

### gallon containers, in the bottom ofthe socket pot. Do not add other material that might obstruct the seal in the bottom ofthe 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
. 

### Referto 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® should completely cover the drainage medium (plus at least 1 inch up all sides) in the bottom ofthe 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 ofthe 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.

Guardrails and Fence Rows



### Determine width of weed inhibition desired. Remove existing soil or plant material to a depth of 2 inches below grade. A one-time application of a systemic herbicide will help control growth until Biobarrier® 

## n herbicide zone is completely established (- two weeks). Cut Biobarricr@Illengthwise 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 Biobarrier® II. Secure Biobarrier®l/ with pins (provided), and then add 2 inches of cover material. Rock or mulch m'e the preferred choices, however, soil, cinders or recycled shredded or chipped rubber may be used. In new installations, place Biobarrier® II in width desired, place cover material, and install guardrail posts or fence posts through tile fabric.

Be sure to maintain the cover as UV and heat significantly reduce the life ofBiobarrier.

• StreetMedians, Landscaping, Tombstones: (Combination Application) Since this application also utilizes Biobarrier® Root Control, see vertical installation instructions (page 2). 

### Remove unwanted vegetation and material to
a depth of2 inches below grade. A one-time application ofa systemic herbicide will help contain growth until the Biobarrier® II herbicide
zone is completely established (- two weeks). Position and cut fabric for existing or new plants

. Cut 'x' for plants with scissors or knife. Fit fabric around plant, folding flaps up close to each plant. Secure fabric edges by cutting a shallow trench (>

### I inch) and 'toeing in' exposed edge of Biobarrier® II. Pin fabric edge in trench at least every 4 ft. Add width, ifrequired, by overlapping fabric 3 inches (7Smm) and pinning in place. Add 2 inches (50 mm) ofcover material. Plant roots will not grow in I to 2 inch zone next to Biobarrier® II, soplants should be selected considering their normal root depth. The 2 inches ofcover material must be maintained for long-term effectiveness.


### Refer To Biobarrier@IIGeneralLandscaping installation Instructions (Page 17)

# •

• Tree Skirts Determine size ofarea 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 Biobarrier®II on line indicated, through the center point, extending slits as necessary to permit fabric to fit snugly around tree trunk. Fold 'points' offabric 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 ofskirt.

A rigid retainer around the tree can keep cover material in place and aid in keeping the edges ofthe Biobarrier®II material in the narrow 'toe-in' trench. 

### With tip of shovel, make I"-2" cuts in soil slightly back from edge ofBiobarricr®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.

Cover Biobarrier®II tree skirt with 2" ofstone, mulch orsoiL This depth mustbe maintained for optimum effectiveness. Deeper cover will permit more root growth for a longer period, However, 

### ifa 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 ofBiobarrier®II to sunlight will result in less than guaranteed life, Keep it covered.

• Utility Substations

Remove existing soil orplant material to a depth of2 inches below grade. A one-time application ofa systemic herbicide will help contain growth until Biobarrier® 

### IIherbicide zone is completely established (- two weeks).

Place Biobarrier® II, 

### overlapping orseaming according to seaming instructions (page 4) 

### until desired width is achieved. Extend Biobarrier® II 18 inches beyond fence line for maximum benefit. Place 2 inchcs ofcover material on the fabric. The objective is to prevent UVexposure and heat from degrading the Biobarrier® II. At least 2 inches ofcover material must be maintained to obtain normal life expectancy
.
Pavers
Excavate 2" below grade level, removing unwanted vegetation (especially that which could puncture fabric). Apply a systemic berbicide to prevent re-growth, ifdesired.

Place Biobarrier® II horizontally, securing edges by "toeing in" to a shallow trench, then anchoring with landscape pegs (included). Layer 1" to 2" ofsand on top ofBiobarrierII,

# ~~neral Installation Guidelines

//- 

## v THESE GENERAL GUIDEUNES MUST BE FOLLOWED IN ALL BIOBARRIER INSTALLATIONS REFER TO PAGE 3 FOR INDEX OF SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS 

# V. 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!**v~** 

### Contact utility companies prior to digging or trenching ifthere are possibility service lines are present• 

## t.A'/ 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. 

### i-In high organic soils 

### (>10%) with aggressive root species in close proximity to olefin plastics,

spray or saturate trench walls with liquid triflu@lin. 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. Ifthe 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. Biobarrier® should not be 

### left exposed to surface water or sunlight. Biobarrier® products are for non-food uses only. 

### vffiobarrier®stops roots within**~1** 

### inch of a nodule. Properplacementis very important. It isonly effective where itis!

• VV'ERTICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS vCut a trench at least 2 inches (5 cm) wide, adjacent to the structure, using clean-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 "clean" trench ( no roots protruding on either side), then roots should be hand pruned back to the trench wall on both sides. vlcfake sure Biobarrier is as close to the hardscape as possible to insure that top is and remains at grade level. Biobarrier should 

### be installed on the side of the trench opposite the root source. vThe 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. vROll out Biobarrier® and cut to length oftrench.**~draulic** 

### sand can be used to facilitate compaction in any case. Compact soil to minimize settling. 

### It may be necessary to return later to fill and compact after settling. Insure Biobarrier is still up to finished grade to prevent roots over top; fabric should not be exposed. vIflnstaliation strios are used: (encfosed in box)**~emove** 

### paper backing from tape located on one edge of the installation strip. Place taped edge ofstrip 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 ofthe Biobarrier® (closer if necessary, as required to make sure there is no sag below finished grade in top edge offabric). 

## ()Jse strips to lower Biobarrier® into trench, taking care that fabric hangs taut and straight with no

sagging or bunching. Position top edge of Biobanrier® at finished grade level by folding top edge of installation strip over onto soil or hardscape next to trench. This will help to insure Biobarrier® is in proper pOSition. Make sure Biobarrier is as close to hardscape as possible to ensure top is and remains at grade level. Biobarrier should be installed on the side ofthe trench opposite the root source. vKrlchor Biobanrier® 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 afterjob is completed and top edge is confirmed to still be at grade at all points along entire length.

# vrfi~~tallation strips are not used: vtOwer Biobarrier® into trench, taking care that fabric hangs taut and straight, with no sagging or

bunching. Position top edge offabric atfinished grade level. Anchor Biobarrier® 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 still at grade level. If settling does occur, additional fill may be necessary insuring Biobarrier is at finished grade for the life ofthe installation, but not exposed.

• /sPECIAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (for unusual situations) 

### V'VVhen two or more ofthe following conditions exist, special precautions, detailed below, should be

followed for maximum prevention of root overgrowth of fabric. 

### v1. Base of potential problem tree is higher than protected hardscape 1/2; 

### Soil is over 90% sand 

## vJ: Tree species is aggressive, top rooting variety such as maple, ficus, etc. Consult a local arborist for species questions or recommendations ifnecessary. 

## J/Y. Tree is closer than eight feet (2400mm) from edge of protected hardscape. 

### /$pecialPrecautions 

### (See Drawing Below) 

## vl:; Wherever practical, build level of soil adjacent to protected hardscape to a level even with or above base oftree. 

# v2; Attach Biobanrier 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 adhesives "Fix-n-Seal" high performance clear sealant F5- U 5, 

### Prod. No. 1450113 or equivalent. 

## 0: Install metal edging adjacent to protected hardscape with Biobanrier attached. Leave metal edging approximately one inch above grade to prevent root overgrowth. Edging should extend a minimum of 10 feet (3000mm) in each direction from center of tree. Landscape timbers with 8iobanrier attached to the bottom may be substituted for edging.

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.

### 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. 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 oftree root intrusion. Biobarrier® can 

### be used underneath 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 Biobanrier® Root Control in place of most drainage fabrics since the geotextile in Biobarrier® is a standard AASHTO drainage fabric.

### ~tainer Disposal: Completely empty container. Then dispose ofwrap and/or box in a sanitary landfill or by incineration, or, if allowed by State and Local authorities, by burning. If burned, stay out of smoke. £n'eral Directions: Aarrier®11 is a multi-year preemergence weed control system which is strategically positioned to inhibit root development and surface vegetation (see applications). Biobarrier II controls plant roots by establishing an in-soil barrier plane of trifluralin, which prevents root tip cell division. The multi-year feature of Biobarrier II is provided by a time-release mechanism which continues to meter trifluralin into the soil as the exposed trifluralin biologically and chemically degrades. Since the fabric is flexible and permeable, installation may be custom contoured to obtain the most desirable control.

- Draft label EPA Reg No 29823-3 Jan 2, 2002

# ~arrier®1I 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®11 should not be installed in water. Store any unused portions of the product tightly resealed in the original container in a dry place. /siobarrier® II is installed in the soil horizontally to conlrol surface vegetation. Product may require seaming, hold down pegs, or other 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 control plane. A 2" layer of cover material must be maintained.

### 40 C.F,R 

### Part 170 andPart 156, SubpartKandwhether it

### BiobarrierGll (EPA Reg. No. 59823·1) and

### Biobarrier® II (EPA 

### Reg. No. 59823·3) products in

### commercial nurseries and greenhouses. As 

### you know, theBiobarrier® products are sheets ofpolypropylenefabric with lime

### release nodules containingthe active ingredient, trifluralin, 

### The**fabri~** 

### sheets are installed underground (vertically, 

### bOrizontally. orwrapped around 

### pipes or similar structures, depending 

### .onthe 

### particular

### use) andgradually

### releasethe trifiuralin 

### overaperiod

### are used 

### to provideweed 

### control (for example, on golfcourses) and to preventroot damage 

### from tree 

### roots 

## (forexample, 

## to sidewalks 

## orunderground structures such as septic systems, pipes, orbuilding 

### foundations). Aquestion has arisen withregardto use ofthe 

### products in 

### commercial nurseries. Unless theWPS applies to the products. Reemaybelieves that the 

### uses specified on the 

### existing labels, whichincludeuse in 

### "plantingbeds," are

### broad enoughto encompass use in anursery. No changein the directions furuse wouldbe necessary, and Reemay does not believe nursery use • would pose any health or nfety issues different from

### otheruses. The 

### productis oflowtoxicity 

### (requiring only a "Caution"

### April 23. 1999 Page 2
Whi1e 

### we recosnize that 

### commercial nurseries and greenhouses are nominally included in the 

### regulatory definition of "agricultural 

### establishments" coveredbythe

### WPS and lI380cillted 

### labelrequirements, we 

## also believe that 

### theBiobarrier® produl;ts are lImdamenta1ly 

## dift'erentfrom 

### theproducts enduse patterns thatEPA Contemplatedwhen 

### it

### pl'QITluigatedthe WPS. For example, since itis installedunderground, there 

### would appeartobe no reason

## for a reentry 

## i!lterval or

## posting (or

## for the corresponding 

## labelrequirements) sincethere wouldbe 

### no continuing exposure to 

### the produl;t. Withrespectto

## the

## nursery and greenhouse

## employeeswho 

### actually install 

## the Biobmler®. Reemaydoes not believe that standard WPS label 

### Janguagewould give any additional protectionbeyond that 

### already provided by the 

### label; indeed, given thenalure ofthe product and

### its use, it 

### is not at all 

### clearwhat 

### language would haveto be added to tbe

## label to meet WPS requirements. A<:cordingly. would appreciateyourresponseto tbe following questions: 1. Do 

### WPS and associated label requirements applyto the use ofthe

### Biobarrier® products in commercial 

### nurseries or greenhouses? 

### 2. If 

### the WPS applies. would EPAbe willingto waive 

### the WPS andrelated label requirements in light ofthe 

### nature of

### the products and

### the adequacy 

### orthe existing 

### labellenguage? 3. If 

### the WPS applies and

### EPAis not willing to waive the 

## requirements. what 

### label 1enguage would need

### to be addedto

### BURDEN STATEMENT FOR DATA REFERENCE SHEET (EPA Form 8570-20; OMB Form No. 0070-0060)
The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average one hour per completed Data Reference Sheet. This includes reviewing instructions, identifying pertinent references, and citing the references on this instrument. It is estimated that approximately eight (8) hours are required to prepare a complete set of references for an initial application to register a "typical" or "average" chemical. After that, additional supporting references may be necessary but would not require the number of references necessary for an initial application to register. Send comments regarding this burden, to: Chief, Information Policy Branch, PM-223, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M Street, S.W., Washington, DC 20460; and to the Office of Management and Budget, Paperwork Reduction Project (2070-0060), Washington, DC 20503 •
