 Pesticides And Toxic Substances (H-7506C)
 Protecting  Endangered
 Species
 Interim  Measures
 Navajo County, Arizona


   The information in this pamphlet is
   similar to what the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) expects to
distribute once our Endangered Species
Protection Program is in effect. The
limitations on pesticide use are not law at
this time, but are being provided now for
your use in voluntarily protecting
endangered and threatened species from  .
harm due to pesticide use. We encourage
you to use this information. We also
welcome your comments.
  The Endangered Species Act is intended
to protect and promote recovery of animals
'and plants that are in danger of becoming
extinct due to the activities of people.
Under the Act, EPA must ensure that use
of pesticides it registers will not result in
harm to the species listed as endangered or
threatened by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service,  or to habitat critical to  those
species'  survival. To accomplish this,  the
ErA expects to implement program
requirements beginning in 1991. This
program will protect endangered and
threatened species from harm due  to
pesticide use.
  EPA requests your comments regarding
the information presented in this
publication. Please drop us a line to let us
know whether the information  is clear and
correct. Also tell us to what extent
following the recommended measures
would affect your typical pesticide  use or
productivity. This information will  be
considered by EPA during the final stages
of program development.

                                                            This publication contains a County Map
                                                            showing the area within the county where
                                                            pesticide use should be limited to protect
                                                            listed species. These areas are identified on
                                                            the map by a shaded pattern.  Each shaded
                                                            pattern corresponds to a species in need of
                                                            protection.
                                                              The Shading Key shows the name of the
                                                            species that each shaded pattern represents
                                                            and describes the shaded area. The area
                                                            may be described in terms of Township,
                                                            Range, and Section or by giving details
                                                            about the habitat of the species.
                                                              The first column of the "Table of Pesticide
                                                            Active Ingredients" lists the active
                                                            ingredients for which there should be
                                                            limitations on use to protect certain species.
                                                            The next columns are headed by the shaded
                                                            pattern of the species with Codes listed
                                                            underneath them.
                                                              The  Code indicates the specific limitation
                                                            that is necessary to protect the species. The
                                                            section titled Limitations on Pesticide Use
                                                            explains the code.

How To Use This Information

1) On the county map, find the specific shading patterns
   that cover the area where you will apply pesticides.

2) Read the shading key for those patterns to identify
   the specific area involved.

3) In the "Table of Pesticide Active Ingredients," locate
   the active ingredients in the pesticide you intend
   to apply.

4) Locate the code to the right of the active ingredient
   name and under the shading patterns that apply
   to you.

5) When using the pesticide, you should follow the
   limitations indicated for those codes described under
   "Limitations on Pesticide Use."

6) If you are applying more than one listed active
   ingredient or applying a listed active ingredient in
   an area with more than one shaded pattern  (species),
   multiple codes may apply.  If so, you should follow
   the most restrictive limitation.
