SE: MACRO 5.5.4 Önnestad, Krusenberg and Näsbygård For the Swedish scenario Näsbygård several simulations with different starting dates are required if the KOC < 500 L/kg and the DT50soil < 50 days (modeling endpoint). These simulations shall cover the earliest and latest possible treatment period applied for, as well as additional treatment periods in between if the time interval between the first and the last treatment period is more than 40 days. However, when creating input data for modelling, the given time interval between the starting dates of the treatment periods in the simulations shall not exceed 30 days. If only a single simulation is required, the starting date of the simulated treatment period has to be chosen to represent a worst case situation considering contamination of groundwater. - if risk for leaching to groundwater is an area of concern pointed out in the EU review report - if the Koc >100 L/kg, unless a PELMO 5.5.3 simulation (Hamburg scenario) gives a PECgw < 0.01 µg/L for the active substance and toxicological relevant metabolites or < 1.0 µg/l for metabolites - if the Koc < 100 L/kg and PELMO 5.5.3 OR PEARL 4.4.4 simulation (Hamburg scenario) gives a PECgw > 0.01 µg/L for the active substance and toxicological relevant metabolites or > 1.0 µg/l for non-relevant metabolites The conditions apply independently of each other. a Simulations conducted with are not accepted any longer for chemicals with a Koc > 100 L/kg Metabolites: Please be aware that if are triggered for the parent substance, according to the above table, it means that all (relevant and metabolites have to be simulated with MACRO. Non-relevant metabolites cannot be excluded.
NO: If a product is applied in Sweden with the same GAP, modelling as required by Sweden is sufficient for Norway as well. If not applied in Sweden or only applied in Norway, modelling with MACRO 5.5.4 and the Norwegian scenarios Heia and Rustad is required.
