Description
of
Requests:
The
licensee
proposes
to
grant
an
easement
for
the
renovation
of
the
golf
course
at
Willow
Point
Golf
and
Country
Club
on
Lake
Martin
in
Tallapoosa
County,
Alabama.
The
proposal
includes
the
mechanical
excavation
from
the
lake
bottom
of
2110
cubic
yards
of
material.
About
1200
cubic
yards
of
this
excavated
material
will
be
used
to
fill
0.16
acres
of
Martin
Reservoir
with
the
remaining
material
placed
at
other
nonproject
locations
on
the
golf
course.
This
will
result
in
approximately
910
cubic
yards
net
increase
in
the
storage
volume
of
the
reservoir.
Finally,
the
proposal
includes
the
addition
of
two
rock
boulder
seawalls.
One
seawall
will
be
located
in
the
area
of
the
excavation
work
and
will
be
approximately
462.5
feet
long.
The
second
seawall
will
be
approximately
225
feet
long
and
will
be
located
along
the
existing
shoreline
which
will
be
backfilled
to
the
490­
foot
project
boundary.

II.
Background
A.
What
Action
is
the
Agency
Taking?
EPA
has
assessed
the
risks
of
asulam
and
reached
a
Tolerance
Reassessment
Eligibility
Decision
(
TRED)
for
this
pesticide.
Since
no
risk
mitigation
measures
were
adopted,
asulam
fits
into
its
own
risk
cup­­
its
individual,
aggregate
risks
are
within
acceptable
levels.
The
RED
for
asulam
was
completed
in
1995.
At
that
time,
the
Agency
assessed
the
risk
for
dietary,
worker,
and
ecological
concerns.
With
the
passage
of
FQPA,
the
tolerances
for
asulam
needed
to
be
reassessed
according
to
the
FQPA
safety
standard.
In
this
current
assessment,
the
Agency
looked
at
only
dietary
concerns
from
food
and
drinking
water.
Asulam
is
a
selective
postemergent
systemic
carbamate
herbicide
registered
for
sugarcane,
christmas
tree
plantations,
ornamentals,
turf
(
use
for
sod
farms
only)
and
non­
cropland
uses
(
boundary
fences,
fencerows,
hedgerows,
lumberyards,
storage
areas
and
industrial
facilities,
and
warehouse
lots).
There
are
no
residential
uses
for
asulam
products.
Dietary
risks
for
asulam
are
below
the
Agency's
level
of
concern
for
the
general
U.
S.
population
and
all
population
subgroups.
Drinking
water
risks
are
also
below
EPA's
level
of
concern,
therefore
the
Agency
is
not
concerned
with
potential
exposure
to
asulam
through
surface
water
and
ground
water.
The
tolerance
reassessment
program
is
being
conducted
under
Congressionally
mandated
time
frames,
and
EPA
recognizes
both
the
need
to
make
timely
decisions
and
to
involve
the
public.
Therefore,
EPA
is
issuing
this
TRED
as
a
final
document
with
a
60
 
day
comment
period.
Although
the
60
 
day
public
comment
period
does
not
affect
the
registrant's
response
due
date,
it
is
intended
to
provide
an
opportunity
for
public
input
and
a
mechanism
for
initiating
any
necessary
amendments
to
the
TRED.
If
any
comment
significantly
affects
a
TRED,
EPA
will
amend
the
TRED
by
publishing
the
amendment
in
the
Federal
Register.

B.
What
is
the
Agency's
Authority
for
Taking
this
Action?
The
legal
authority
for
this
TRED
falls
under
FIFRA,
as
amended
in
1988
and
1996.
Section
4(
g)(
2)(
A)
of
FIFRA
directs
that,
after
submission
of
all
data
concerning
a
pesticide
active
ingredient,
``
the

shall
determine
whether

containing
such
active
