Fertilizers may be harmful to aquatic life with long term effects, causing algal bloom and increased BOD,
depending on the amount released.
The herbicide ingredients are toxic to aquatic plants and invertebrates. Use with care when applying to turf areas
adjacent to any bodies of water. Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to
intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Drift and runoff from treated turf may adversely affect aquatic
organisms in adjacent bodies of water. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from treated areas. Do
not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater.
Application around a cistern or well may result in contamination of groundwater or drinking water, particularly
where soils are permeable and water table is shallow.
