Section VIII - Environmental and Disposal Information
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Carfentrazone is very toxic to algae and moderately toxic to fish. This product is toxic to aquatic invertebrates.
Dirft or runoff may adversely affect aquatic invertebrates and nontarget plants. Do not apply directly to water, or to
areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark.
Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater. When cleaning equipment, do not pour the
washwater on the ground; spray or drain over a large area away from wells and other water sources.
Most cases of groundwater contamination involving phenoxy herbicides such as 2,4-D and MCPP-p have been
associated with mixing, loading and disposal sites. Caution should be exercised when handling 2,4-D and MCPP-p

pesticides at such sites to prevent contamination of groundwater supplies. Use of closed systems for mixing or
transferring this pesticide will reduce the probability of spills. Placement of the mixing/loading equipment on a
impervious pad to contain spills will help prevent groundwater contamination.
PESTICIDE DISPOSAL: Pesticide wastes are acutely hazardous. Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray
mixture, or rinsate is a violation of Federal law and may contaminate groundwater. If these wastes cannot be
disposed of by use according to label instructions, contact your state pesticide or Environmental Control Agency or
the Hazardous Waste representative at the nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance.
CONTAINER DISPOSAL: For Plastic Containers 鈥? Triple rinse (or equivalent). Then offer for landfill or
incineration, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or incineration, or if allowed by state and local
authorities by burning. If burned stay out of smoke.
