*The same selection procedure was performed for each year. First, the year of interest was selected. Default values were 

used for the MTR/Section, Zip Code, Site/Crop, and Products selection options. Only counties located in ESU's were selected 

for County. Propargite was selected as the chemical option and only agricultural (AG) records were retrieved. The data were 

output by: YEAR, SITE_NAME, POUNDS_CHEMICAL_APPLIED, AERIAL_GROUND_DESCRIPTION, and CHEMICAL_NAME. The 

“Summarize the Data” box was checked to format the results as a summary report and the columns were sorted by YEAR and 

SITE_NAME. The html file for a given year was opened and saved in MSExcel before the data were manipulated.
