Additional specifications and notes:

Please attach a map or aerial photo that shows:  Stand boundaries  Location of sensitive resources, if applicable  Total area of infestation  Location of setbacks, if applicable  Planned treatment areas by method and year

When choosing herbicides, review leaching, runoff potential, setback requirements, persistence, and toxicity ratings of chemical formulations. Use the safest available herbicide. Pesticides used improperly can be injurious to man, animals, and plants. Follow all labels.
