" the proposed application
should not cause unreasonable adverse effects to surface water
."
" it is highly unlikely
the herbicide will reach the ground water system."
" available toxicity
studies are relatively complete, regarding both imazapyr and
glyphosate."
" no unreasonable adverse
effects on wildlife are expected from herbicide application on
Long Island."
"No significant toxicity
occurred in acute, subchronic, or chronic studies. There is no
convincing evidence for direct DNA damage in vitro or in vivo."
"It is understood that
some doses of glyphosate and imazapry will cause adverse effects
on internal organs and physiological systems in humans, animals,
and aquatic species."
"the likelihood that herbicides
will enter the groundwater system on Long Island and cause adverse
impacts to wildlife is essentially negligible as long as the
procedures proposed for aerial spray application are followed."
"While several studies
indicate there could be an impact to wildlife/birds of herbicide
application due to reduced habitat (e.g. lodging and food), there
are no significant effects of glyphosate, itself."
" Imazapry is practically
nontoxic to mammals "
