In Response to Barking up the Wrong Tree - Thank you Richard
for your information. I have read the permit description: "It
is understood that some doses of glyphosate and imazapyr will
cause adverse effects on internal organs and physiological systems
in humans, animals, and aquatic species. When reviewing these
studies in support of a permit decision, the dose-response relationships
between specific biological effects and real-world exposure scenarios
were examined. Based on the predicted, anticipated exposure during
and after the application the Department finds that there will
no unreasonable adverse effects posed as a result of the herbicide
application"
No one can guarantee that there
won't be an overflow of the applications. Why even allow for
that situation to possibily occur? Why add anymore chemicals
to the earth and water? We (mankind) have done enough damage
already.
