11. Provide any additional information regarding application (how it was applied, amount applied, the size of the area treated etc).
To the best of my knowledge, applicator applied product, Karmex XP, to a pond that was contained to owner property. This was applied sometime in October 2006 and the pond water was used to irrigate 3 or 4 grave sites and some annual flower beds in the spring 2007. Product label states NOT to use pond water that has been treated with Karmex for one year after application. Treated turf and annual flowers were visually showing signs of stress when DuPont was notified. THIS USE PATTERN IS NOT RECOMMENDED BY DUPONT AND IS OUTLINED AS SUCH ON OUR PRODUCT LABEL.
