Scientific Investigations Report 2008–5027

Table 10. Potential uses for pesticides detected in the lower Clackamas River basin, Oregon, 2000–2005.

[Type: H, herbicide; I, insecticide; F, fungicide; N, nematocide; M, molluscicide; ID, insecticide degradate. Agriculture: uses estimated from average pesticide application rates for crops in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon State University, 2001a; 2001b), from estimated crop acreage during 1999–2000 for Clackamas County (Oregon Department of Agriculture, 1997), and from the National Agricultural Statistics Service (2004). Urban: Anderson and others (1996); Kratzer (1998); Panshin and others (1998); U.S. Geological Survey (1999). Golf courses: pesticides used on and detected in ground water beneath golf courses, Jack Barbash, U.S. Geological Survey, http://ca.water.usgs.gov/pnsp/golf.html, accessed July 9, 2002. Right-of-ways: Will Lackey, Oregon Department of Transportation, written commun., 2006; Ronald Buck, Clackamas County Department of Public Works, written commun., 2002. State and private forestland: Cramer (1974); Glyphosate is the only herbicide approved for use on Federal land within the Mt. Hood National Forest in the Clackamas River Basin. Restrictions: Oregon State University (2001a; 2001b). p,p΄-DDE is one of several degradation products of p,p’-DDT, an organochlorine insecticide that is restricted in all states. Norflurazon use information from the California pesticide use database, http://www.pesticideinfo.org/Detail_ChemUse.jsp?Rec_Id=PC36413, accessed October 5, 2006. Symbols: **, pesticide exceeded a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) aquatic-life benchmark; *, pesticide exceeded a non-USEPA aquatic-life benchmark; #, pesticide not detected since 2000–2001 study]
