Please find in an accompanying email the electronic copies of refined
time series of PRZM/EXAMS simulations for carbaryl.  As requested, these
simulations include the regional PCA adjustments to the simulations
previously sent.   Such PCA adjustments have important implications
regarding the spatial representativeness of these simulations.  In this
regard, Table 1 below gives the file names that were sent along with the
relevance of each simulation with respect to its ability to represent
particular areas.  Table 1 also gives the application information for
each simulation. Table 2 gives the model inputs for carbaryl that were
used for these simulations.

As also discussed in our meeting last week, additional simulations have
been performed with the apple scenarios.  These additional simulations
include single applications of carbaryl at both 3 lb/acre (the labeled
rate) as well as at 2 lb/acre (BEAD determined that 90% of acreage is
treated at less than this value).  Also as discussed, a California
strawberry surrogate scenario has been added to the simulations. An
additional simulation to represent Michigan blueberries may be forwarded
to you after EFED reviews the vulnerability of the Michigan blueberry
region and reviews the availability of an appropriate scenario.
