APPLICATION OF HERBICIDES TO SCHOOL LANDS. CEDAR GULCH. SISKIYOU COUNTY

08/28/86 w 22624 McC<:>nald

In 1982 a 59-acre b~ush field was cleared. and in 1983. 21.uoo pine seedlings were planted on a school land parcel in Siskiyou County. then in 1984 16 additional acres -were site prepared and in 1985 planted ~tth a.ooo Douglas-Fir seedlings. Since the original clearing. brush. grasses and forbs haue rej.·wc:;;ded the plantations and haue become f'i.r1nly established ~au~.~ng seuere competition to the young c~riifer ~rees. To ens~~e healthy. adequ~tely stocked plantations. it 1s necessary to eliminate the competing vegetation at thi~ time. r~ is -proposed to spray the approued herbicide Uelpar with ground equipment to accomplish this plantation maintenance work.

B. Project Descriptio~

The proposed project area is a 75-acre i:imber plantation i.n Siskiyou County. California. Fifty-nine acres of the plantation were mechanically site-prepared in the fall of 1982. and were subsequently planted in the spring of' 1983 "1i.th 15,000 2~year old seedlings of ponderosa pine {Pinus ponderos.a) and 6,(){JD seedlings of Monterey-lcnobcone pine cross (Pinus x attenuradi.ata). This 59 acres was also ~•planted in 1983 "'1.th 8. 000 2..:..year old ponderosa pine. The reu.ining 16 acres were mechanically site-prepared in 198~ and planted with 10.000 2-year old Dougl~s-fir {Pseudotsuga menzi.esii) seedlings in the spring of 1985.

Since pl.antati.on establishaent there has been a reinuasion of annual and perennial grasses. f'orbs., and brush. To co~trol these plants, which are coWtpeting "'1th plantation seedlings For auailable moi.sture. nutrients. and grOClling spa~. the project calls for the spraying of DuPo~t Uelpar QU L herbicide {Hexazinone) at the rate of l. 9 pounds actiue ingredient per acre on the 16 acres of the 2-year-old planting and 2.1 pounds actiue ingredier.t per acre on the 59 acres of the ~year-old planting. These prescriptions were deu~loped for ·the plantation by Larry Ballew. DuPont Coapany Representative. based on specific soils. uegetation and cli~tic conditi·ons deter•ined for t~e project area. The spraying 1 will be done by a licensed Pest Control Operator "'1th a tractor and or backpack sprayers - (See attached Label f'ac.silli.les f'or more de!:&ils on handling 0£ the herbicide.) The chellical will be llixed on the site to be spraye~ and will be applied when the site is dry. In the euent of a chemical spill the chemical 11.10uld stay on the site. i.e. there would be no ouerland f'lO!U of che•ical into any bodies of' ..ater.

C. Enuironaental Setting

1. Project Site

Project Location

The 75..;;.acre ti.aber ·~1.antation is located on a 200-acre parcel of State-oc.ined schoo1 lilnds.. 12 lliles south of' Yreka, Siskiyou Coun~y. California. The 16-acre, younger portion of' the plantation is an irregular ~arcel located in the ai.ddle of the plantation. {See attached aaps).

Topography

The e'leuati.on of' the -subject site rang~s f'rom 4000 to 4400 f't. and is generally north-F~cing. Slopes range fro• 0-50 percent and auerag_e 40 percent.

Water CClurses

The nearest ·water courses are Cedar Gulch. Mill Gulch. a.nd Moffit Creek. Cedar Gulch. which is ephe .. ral. comes ..n.thin a quarter •ile of the north west corner o~ the parcel. Mill Gulch is a ha1f Idle to the south and is separated fro• the project area by a ridge. Mof'f'it Creek is 2 1/2 •iles to the west ..

Soi1s

The soils on this parcel were aapped by the S<iil Vegetation Survey (S~S) as being in the flll.arpa-Kinkle-Boo11er co•plex. However. according to Richard Dixon. Foreester II C•lif'ornia Department of' Forestry. they really do not f'it into this complex. Apparently. the SUS lu•ped areas together so they would not haue to sa•ple euery uariation. Dixon said soils in the Marpa-Kinkle-Boomer co•plex were skeletal in natur.e, ~herea~ the soils on the Cedar Cul~h parcel ~re not. (Skeletal \~ soils- are made up of' partic1es of' 111hich 3 5 percent or~ 111e>re are greater than 2 millimeter in size.) Dixon said ·the gra11el content on this parcel 1.11as less than 5 percent.

TLllO soil samples were taken to determine the percent organic matter. sand. silt and clay to aid in selecting herbicide application rates. The r~sults of the_ soil analysis shoc..aed that the 16-acre!~ younger porti.~n of' the plantation had an organic matter content or 6.07 percent. sand content of 67 percent. silt content 9f 23 percent. ~nd clay content 0£ 10 percent. The S9-acre oider portion or the plantation had an organic ~atter content of 4.66 percent, sand content of 59 percent. ~lt content of 31 percent. And clay content of 10 percent. Tile soils on this parcel can be cla~sif'ied as being sandy loaa. ,

Timber site productivity based on .. asured trees. and using Dunning' s 1942 site curues f'or lti.x•d co~if'•rs of" the Sierra Neuada. was determined to be Site Class III (130).

Vegetation

The vegetative couer of the site consists of three components:

(1) A Few saplings. residual after logging# or two commercial ti~ber species. ponderosa pine and Douglas-fir.

(2) Planted seedlings of ponderosa pine. Dougl~s-fir. and Monterey-knobcone pine cross.

(3) Competing weedy vegetation. priurily cheat grass. nee1dle grass. common mullein. fir.weed and manzanita. The cr~n closure of grass and forb.s is approximately 80 percent and the shrub couer is less than five percent. The non-ti•~e~ species observed or. and adjacent to the project ~~ea include:

Gre~nleaf M~nzanita (Arctost~phvlos patula)

Birchleaf Mahogftny (Cercocarpus :betuloidesl

Oso Berry (Osmoronia cerasiForais)

California Yerba Santa (Eriodictyon California)

Based on obseruation. and on ir.fonnation from the Ca1ifornia Natural Oiuersity Data Base. Department of fish and Game. no rare or endangered p1ant species are 1ocated on or adjacent to the project area.

Wi1d1iFe The proposed project area is not considered high qua1ity

wildlife habitat. The f'•una consists pri.ari1y of lillited 1oca1 popu1atiQns of rodents. other su11 .a.-ais. and some

birds.

The Ca1if'orni& Archaeological Site Suruey indicates t~'-' site is of low sensitiuity. The project has little chance ".If-

disturbing any undiscouered archaeological sites.

2. Surrounding Properties

The parce1 is surrounded 1>y priuate 1and ho1dings which are zoned either •agriculture• or •timber preseru1e•. Throughout this portion of Siskiyou County. flat ua11eys are dedicated to agricultural use with range and t19ber production

III. Discussion or Enuironmental Eualuation

0-1) In the project area there will be a redu~tio!'l in the number of competing grass. forb. and brush plants. The reduction in their couer wi.11 promote the growth oF conifer seedlings. This vegetation change is not considered en aduerse impact.

E-1) In the project area there will be a reduction :in the couer of grass. f orb. and brusht plants. lllli th a pro110tion of conifer growth. Shcrt-ter• •inor reductions in existing local •nia&l populations could be expected with the ch•nge in habitat. Euentually ani-1 species co•posi tion 11ri.ll change as trees .. ture. replacing the fore st couer. None of' these changes is considered a significant impact.

Al tho~gh Hexa.zinone is considered r.ot toxic to birds .and fish. and is ·oniy s1ightly toxic to aaee•ls, Charles Green of the Regional ·iQter Quality Control Board and Harry Rectenwald with1 the O~parteent of fish and GalN expressed concern for potenti.al strea• cont.a~tnation problems due to oue:rspray drift or coritallin&ted runoff. Because this proj~ct "'111 only use ground spraying (i.e. no aerial spraying). and spraying will be done in dry weather. with soils well below field capacity. both

- kinds 0£ potential impacts are considered fully alitigated.

~-1) In the euent of an accid:nt the soil could bec~me cortaminated ""1.th herbicides. or the applicators could be exposed to a leuel aboue which is considered safe.

Hexazin.'lne d~es not persist in the soil f"or long ,periods of ti9e. Soil degradation tests indicate that it has &

half-lif,9 in the soil of fro• one to six months depending on field conditions. Microbial degradation is the primary way in which the chemical dissipates in the soil and degradation occur> 1DOst rapidly under war•. moist eonditions.

Hexazinone is regarded as only slightly toxic:

Acute· Oral Toxicity lDSO - 1690 mg/kg. rats LOSO - 860 1119/kg. guinea pigs ALDSO - 3400 1119/kg. dogs

It is considered • seuere eye ir.-itant. (for 110re toxicity information. please see attached mAterial).

-1-

If a spi11. should occur the herbicide wou1.d stay on the project area. because the spray wi11 be mixed on-site. there are no permanent s·treams on-site. and it wi1.1 be app1ied in dry weather. In other words. there will be no mixing of cheMica1s near or adjacent to any streams or other bodies of wat~r. SLC will con~ract with a licensed pesticide app1iclltor who h.as experience in applying herbicides in the manner called for in the contract. There should be little risk to the applic&tors because of protectiue clothing requirements.

Q-1&2)

008CM

The app1icati.on wil1 be done by a 1i.c:ens~d Pest Control Opara.tor illho wi.11 fol1ow label i.nstructio•nS carefully. The general .public 1o1.'i.11 not be exposed to hazard because the che•ical will be illixed on th•

site.

Spl!Cial pre.:autiOns should be taken to avoid spray drift. Consider !l~ing a drift contrcA product 1n the spray tank to minimiie the amoun! of small spray particles. Use nozzles that provide coarse spray particles. Also, try to riiain­:lain adequate buffer zones around the area to be treated. and do not spray when wind conditions favor drift.

Ground Equipment Follow the same mixing pt\>Ceduria as outlined above for aerial applications. Ma_ke sure ground equipment is proi..~ erty calibrated to uniformly.deiiver the

· correct rate across the spray swath. Also. use a ciefoamer e"'·~ spray tank. maintain 2dequate penmet&r buffers.

· and avoid spraying when Wind condi:. hons favor drift:

When app!yin9.VELPAR Luse at least 5 gr.itons·of water for eacti gallon of ~M~. This is important becal·~ th91t1.bility of VELPAR L in water

NonhaZardouS to wildlife

A wildlife study at Cornell University indicates that forest anima!S are not likely to eat pellets cor1taining hexa~ zinone. Neither herbivores or carni­vores voluntarily ate the pellets_gven when depnved of their regula:- c;!iet. Birds showed-no recognition ot the pr-.sence of the pellets placed with a normal food source. There was no mor­tality nor unusual wildlife behavior associated with the exposure tests.

Safety to Honey~s Hexazinor.e was fcund to be relatively non!o»~J,o hO~ybees in a laboratory s~udy. T~~I application to bees ~t _€i0 mg/bee (h1ghe_st ~ose tested) resulted ir. unly 10°'o bee mortality in ~ 48 hOUr test. 1ndieat1ilg the LCso is -"-~tug/bee. For companson. Sevin

(uut>aryl) insecticide in the same test had an LCso ot o.~ ug'bee (> 1.ooo­t1mes more toxic tnan hexaz1nune).

Safety'to lnvertebrmtH

: The impact of hexazinone on invert8-' brates was tested following the chemi· cars application to forested watersheds. Tests conclude that: • Hexazinone and its metabolites were generally not detected (<0.1ppm) in aquatic irtvenebrates and macrophytes. • No major alterations (species com­position or diversity) were detected in the aquatic invertebrate community. • At the end of the test, no major community changes occurred in the terrestrial microarthrapod samples.

Off-Site Movement St-Jdied

The o:t-site movement of hexazinone from forest watershedS wh:ch may occur during storms was measured. Pellets containing hexn1f'One were used in th_e test. The conclusions indi­cated that: •,Hexazinone residues lost in storm runoff were well within·~cceptable loss limits (0.5% of applied) for agricultural and forest ecosyslems. • Use of recommended rates should not produce any adverse environrnen· ta! effect on water quality or aquatic ecosystems.

Burning Treated Wood Wood treated v.rith VELPAR was analyzed for hexazinone residues at 4 months and 16 months after appli­cation. Results sOOwed that: • Only 21 % of all wood samples con­tained hexazinone at 16 mor.ths. • None of the stem sectionS contail'lb1 a W6ighted residue level above 0.2 ppm. which is the allowable residue con­centration at which no health effects will occur for ingestftd food crops.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

It is.a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent ~ith its labeling.

Du Pont Velpa~Weed Killer is -recomnended for control of cert5in w~eds and brush species in forestry site preparation and eonifer release operations "1ere ~uglas Fir, Grand Fir, Nob1~ Fir, White Fir, Ponderosa Pine, Jeffery Pine ar.c:l Situ Spruce are grown.

Since the eff!?ct :Jf "Velpar" on conifers varies with soils, unifonnity of application a~t. ca.~tr6.-.:ncntal conditions, i~ is sugge5ted that foresters limit their first use to sn._=\ 11 areas.

Because injury to conifers may resujt: Do r.ot use "Velpar" in nurs~ries, seedbeds or ornamen~al plantings; dQ·not u!e \:rt trees which show poor vigor because of insect, disease or winter injury, or sh~ S)11lptoms of other stress con6itions. Do not add surfactant if appH-i'd over the top of conifers. Do not use on poorly drained soils. Co."'lifer injury r~ay -result where severe winter stress, disease or insect damage follows application, or if heavy rains occur soon after application.

HOW TO USE

Application Technique: Before spraying, calibrate ~uipment th d~tennine the unifonn quantity of water necessary to unitonnly and thoroughly cover the vegetation in a measured area to be treated. Use a fixed-boan sprayer with a pressure regula-tor properly calibrated to a consta~t speed of travel and rate of delivery. Avoi~ overlapping and shut-off spray ~~Qn;S while starting, turning, slowing or stopping, as injury to conifers may result.

~rayV'llume and EguiTient: Apply "Velpar" by a~r or gr~und equipment. Select a spray volume that wi i~sure a thorough and unif~_rm ~pplication, at least 8 gals. of spray per acre ·~y air and' !c:sua11y 25 gals. of spray per acre by ground, but not less than 10 gals. of water for each pound of "Ve~par". Use mechanical or by-pass agitation to thorough.ly mix the spray solutior\1. 8/16/83 E-61510 -over-

Treatment provid!!s paJitial control of dandelion, fescue9 goldenrod, ~~ath aster, orchardgrass, ry~~ass. s:nart11eed 1 ,

w~llowwe~d (fireweed).

ADplication Rates: ~PJ>1Y as a pre-plAnt 0r pest-plant broadcast spray at rates of 1 iO'z-'fbs per •~re. Use the lower rates on coarse-textu~ed soils and soils low in organic matt~r; use the higher rates on fine-textured soils high in organic matter. Refer to •use Li~itatians• section for specific details. -

For band applicat·~ons,. use proportionately l~s; for ex•ple, use 1/2 the broadcast rat~ when tr.l!ating a 3 ft band where row spacin~ is 6' ·ft_

Moisture is necessary to activate •ve1par•. Best res~1~s are obt~ined' wher. weeds are less than 2 i~cht!s in height or diameter, soil is 110ist at ~ime of applici~ion and 1/2 to 1 inch ~f ra~nfall occurs within 2 we~ks after application.

T·iming:

West of Cascade=>- ·{~"id other areas of high spring rainfall): Fo·r best results. aoo1y in the spring when weeds are actively growing-, but prior to bud b~eak.on conifers. If 1pplication is made aft~r bud break, use-direction3l spray equipne~t so· t~t spray does·not coritaet:.new growth as injury may re~u1t. -

East of Cascaii~s (and other areas of low spring rcli.infi..."rl): For best results, apply 1n the fall before soil freezes or in tht: spring in anticipation of rainfall. ~eed control .results from spring appli~ations wil 1 be dependent on sufficient riir.fal'I fol l~r.g tre.~t.tnent to activate "Ve1par·". Spring applications should be •tic after- sncw cover melts but before:~d break occurs.

Br'Jsh ~ontPol -Amr,,ig thl! bru~h species c.ontrol ied are: deerbrush ceonQthus, sq~awcar:~t. snlJWor=ustn:eoriothus (varnishleaf ceonothus) and greetleaf unzarilta.

Application Rates: Use "Velpar" for brush control i1; forestry site ;~:;:ara~1on and conifer releas~ where either Ponderosa Pine or Jeffrey ~in€ is the primary ccniferous sp~cies. Apply "Yelpar~ at rate$ of r l:/2 to 3 l~s per acre. Use the· lower rates o.n coarse-t~.xtured soils and soils lGw in organic m3tter; use the higher rates on fine-textured soils and so):ls high in organic matter.

For best results, applications should be made to brush seedlings or sprouts when less than 18 inchP.s in height or diameter. Applications mav be made in the fall before the ~oil freezes or i~ the spring. Fall applications generally provide better re~ults.

Herbaceous Weed Control

When used as direct~. •velpar• at rates of 1 to 1 1/2 lbs per acre will control weeds such as annual bluegrass. barnyardgrass. b~amegrass. false dandelion (catsear). fleabane, cami~~ groundsel. oxeye daisy and velvetgrass.

Treatment at 2 lbs per acre prov~des partial control of crabgrass. curly dock~ d!ndelion. fescue. goldenrod. heath aster. orchardgrass. ryegrass. smartweed, wild carrot and willowweed (fireweed).

Moisture is necessary for full activation of •ve1par•. Best results.are obtained when weeds are less than 2 inches in height or diameter. soil is aoist at time cf applic~tion and 1/2 to 1 inch of rainfall occurs within 2 weeks after application.

West of Cascades: For best results, apply in the spring when weeds are actively growing, but prior to bud break on conifers. If application is made afttr bud break. use directional spray equipment so that spray does not contact new growth as injury may result.

East of Cascades: For best results, apply in the fall befo~e soil freezes or in the spring in anticipation ~f rainfall. We~ controi results from spring applications will be dependent on sufficient rainfall following treatment to activate •velpar•. Spring &pplicatior.s should be made after snow cover melts but before bud break occurs.

Rate selection is based on soil texture. Do r:ot use rate! in excess of those listed for a particular soil texture, as injury to conifers aay result. To determine soil t~xture and organic matter content, have soil samples classified by a reputable laboratory.
