Why Prepare EIS’s?
Managers need current informationNew technology must be evaluated
The public demands that analysis be doneLaws, lawsuits and court proceedings will drive
the system if we don’t

Legal Purposes
Action ensuring device (the law was designed to insure analysis is done)Full and fair disclosure is required
of SIGNIFICANT environmental impactsto inform the decisionmaker & the public

Reasonable alternatives must be evaluated
to avoid or minimize adverse impactsOR
to enhance the quality of the environment

Toxicity of the Inert Ingredients in Glyphosate
Polyethoxylated tallow amine is the inert in Roundup
It is more toxic (1200 vs. 4620 mg/kg) than glyphosate
No other significant toxicological concern

This number was found to have little value in projecting risk due to the rapid
and almost total excretion of internalized herbicide
There appeared to be no accumulation of chemical which would affect the toxicity of a subsequent dose of the
same or another pesticide

Summary of Projected MOSs for Glyphosate Use
Public MOSs in both systemic and reproductive typical scenarios all exceed
10,000In the maximum scenarios six do not
exceed 10,000 - and of those only 2 (sys. & repro. berry pickers) don’t exceed 1,000
All exceed the minimum 100 standard

Summary of Projected MOSs for Glyphosate Use
Worker MOSs in both systemic and reproductive typical scenarios all exceed the minimum standard of 100 (lowest is
194.4 - backpack applicator repro.)
In the maximum scenarios several MOSs do not achieve the minimum 100
Spills onto workers and accidental spray of persons all pose unacceptable risk
