12.  Repeated sprays on the same land cumulatively affect soil productivity.  Spring time sprays have a higher environmental impact to water, humans and wildlife.  Spring 2011 showed the highest EIQ ratings and the largest amount of 2, 4-D and Atrazine sprayed.  In spring 2011, Atrazine and 2, 4-D were detected in 100% of the urine analysis of local residents.

13.  Core Cold Water Habitat  13-19% of the private land was sprayed each year  Aerial sprays occurred within 300’ of salmon and steelhead streams  2, 4-D was aerial sprayed closer than 300’ of salmon and steelhead streams (Court Injunction)  Weyerhaeuser practices resulted in greatest environmental impact.

14.  Oregon Forest Practices Act lack environmental protection.  Washington Forest Practices Act provides for:  Agency and Public Review  More Stringent Environmental and Health Protection  Corporate Accountability (SEPA)
