QUADCO TAP GRANT WITH THE CITY OF ELLENSBURG Mark Cook gave background on the grant program through QUADCO and last week staff had a meeting with the City of Ellensburg regarding a project for a new pedestrian connection on Pfenning Road and Third Avenue. Mark Cook continued that the City of Ellensburg asked if the County would be interested in partnering on the grant application and a twenty (20) percent match would be used. Mark Cook added that the City of Ellensburg and the County would each be responsible for ten (10) percent and county staff would provide the survey. Discussion was held. Staff was directed to move forward with the grant application with the City of Ellensburg. INFRASTRUCTURE FOR REBUILDING AMERICA GRANTS (INFRA) NOTICE OF FUNDING OPPORTUNITY Mark Cook gave background on the grant program and stated that staff did research on doing a design application for the I-90 widening project however, the application would be secondary to any projects that are construction ready. Mark Cook continued that the grant application would have to be done by the middle of March and it doesn't seem feasible to get an application done by that timeline. Mark Cook added that the Washington State Department of Transportation did request a letter of support for the re -decking of the bridge over the Columbia River and that has been sent over for BOCC review and consideration. Discussion was held. No direction was given. 2021-03-08 MINUTES THOMPSON PARK MILFOIL TREATMENT DONATION Mark Cook gave background on Thompson Park and the renaming to honor Sheriff Deputy Ryan Thompson along with other improvements to the park by the county road crew and milfoil treatment. Mark Cook stated that Marc Eylar with Noxious Weed contacted him about the donation of herbicide to control the milfoil infestation that does not affect the wildlife. Mark Cook added that Noxious Weed would donate staff time to apply the herbicide and no fiscal impacts are expected. Marc Eylar commented that the owner of the vegetation company contacted him after seeing the article in the newspaper for the renaming of the park and wanted to get involved. Marc Eylar added that he is licensed to apply the herbicide as well. Staff was directed to move forward with the application. OTHER BUSINESS: There was no other business for discussion.

Cook RECOMMENDATION: Support staff making a joint TAP Grant application with the City of Ellensburg. BRIEFING SUMMARY: • The City of Ellensburg desires applying to QUADCO for a Transportation Alternative Program (TAP) grant. • The City proposes a new pedestrian connection along the West side of Pfenning Road connecting Palouse to Cascade Trail to the existing multi -use pathway on 3rd Avenue. • The trail will require a pedestrian bridge spanning Town Ditch. • School District support is anticipated, and the route provides a connection for Valley View Elementary School, Ellensburg High School, and Grasslands to the Palouse to Cascade trail. BACKGROUND: QUADCO recently issued a call for projects using Surface Transportation Block Grant Transportation Alternatives Program set aside funding. The City of Ellensburg has the connection from 3`d Avenue to Vantage Highway identified in its Active Transportation Plan. The project area is fully contained in the City's growth management area as managed by the County. DISCUSSION: Staff proposes a joint application with the City designing and constructing the pedestrian connection from Yd Avenue to Vantage Highway. Public Works (PW) proposes providing survey for the project with cash match from the Road Fund "Paths and Trails" budget line item. Currently, the funding ask appears to be in the $400,000 dollar range with a preferred twenty percent match of $80,000 (along with in kind credit for survey and design). The project is expected to benefit the school district and Grasslands residents. Pagel of 3 Public Works "Work Session Staff Report", 2021 FISCAL IMPACTS: $40,000 in cash match from the Road Fund (Paths and Trails) along with survey costs. The survey costs are covered by annual program budgets.

Cook RECOMMENDATION: Do not prepare an application in response to U.S. Department of Transportation's Notice of Funding Opportunity for the Department of Transportation's Infrastructure For Rebuilding America (INFRA) Program for Fiscal Year 2021 BRIEFING SUMMARY: • Infrastructure for Rebuilding America Grants (INFRA) are currently being solicited. • Small projects are minimum $5 million. • Large projects are over $25 million and not exceeding $100 million. • Projects require forty (40) percent funding match by non-federal funds. • Recent cost data from Washington State Department of Transportation indicates $54,000,000 per mile for I-90 (Keechelus Dam to Stampede Pass) and $53,250,000 per mile Stampede Pass to Easton. • Large projects must demonstrate technical feasibility and preliminary design as well as additional environmental permitting and reviews in place. • A benefit cost analysis (BCA) should be provided to determine cost effectiveness. BACKGROUND: The current notice of funding for INFRA grants does not preclude planning projects but does notice a preference for construction projects. If we assume fifteen (15) percent of project costs towards engineering (industry standard), then the thirteen (13) miles from Easton to Cle Elum is expected to cost in the range of $105 million to design. DISCUSSION: The amount needed to design the next phase of I-90 will likely exceed the large project funding cutoff for INFRA (over $100 million). Large project applications presume preliminary engineering, environmental impact assessments and permitting, and state and local plan review is complete. The required grant match for $105,000,000 in engineering Page 1 of 3 Public Works "Work Session Staff Report", 2021 costs equates to $42,000,000 in required matching funds. The timeline for grant submittal is tight (March 19, 2021). A summary of the INFRA funding notice prepared by The Ferguson Group is attached (EXHIBIT 1) for Board review. FISCAL IMPACTS: INFRA Grant cost match is not defined but is required at 40%.

Transportation infrastructure projects should support six key objectives: • Supporting Economic Vitality: projects that move goods the American economy produces and facilitate the movement of the workers who are responsible for that production. Projects that use project labor agreements and deploy local hiring provisions also contribute to economic vitality. • Climate Change and Environmental Justice Impacts (newt: projects that have considered climate change and environmental justice in the planning stage and were designed with specific elements to address climate change impacts. Projects should directly support Climate Action Plans or apply environmental justice screening tools in the planning stage. Projects should include components that reduce emissions, promote energy efficiency, incorporate electrification or zero emission vehicle infrastructure, increase resiliency, and recycle or redevelop existing infrastructure. • Racial Equality and Barriers to opportunity (new): projects that encourage racial equity in two areas: (1) planning and policies related to racial equity and barriers to opportunity; and (2) project investments that either proactively address racial equity and barriers to opportunity, including automobile dependence as a form of barrier, or redress prior inequities and barriers to opportunity. • Leveraging of Federal Funding: projects that seek to maximize all available federal and non-federal funding for investment in infrastructure. • Innovation: transformative projects that encourage innovation in three areas: (1) the deployment of innovative technology and expanded access to broadband; (2) use of innovative permitting, contracting, and other project delivery practices; and (3) innovative financing. Projects should support the integration of new technology and practices and demonstrate how those technologies and practices will contribute to the goals of the program. • Performance and Accountability: projects that increase project sponsor accountability and performance and provide plans to address the full lifecycle costs of their project. Eligible projects include: • Highway freight projects carried out on the National Highway Freight Network • Highway or bridge projects carried out on the National Highway System (NHS), including projects that add capacity on the Interstate System to improve mobility or projects in a national scenic area • Railway -highway grade crossing or grade separation projects • Freight projects that are 1) an intermodal or rail project, or 2) within the boundaries of a public or private freight rail, water (including ports), or intermodal facility. to I r,It t Lich i rr Ioi Rebuilding Anieilra (INFRA) Grails fig. INFRA grants may be used for the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, acquisition of property (including land related to the project and improvements to the land), environmental mitigation, construction contingencies, equipment acquisition, and operational improvements directly related to system performance. Statutorily, INFRA grants may also fund development phase activities, including planning, feasibility analysis, revenue forecasting, environmental review, preliminary engineering, design, and other preconstruction activities, provided the project meets statutory requirements. However, DOT is seeking to use INFRA funding on projects that result in construction, meaning development phase activities are less competitive by nature of the evaluation structure. New to the program, is the INFRA Extra Initiative. Projects for which an INFRA application is advanced by the Senior Review Team on the List of Projects for Consideration, but that are not awarded, are automatically designated INFRA Extra Projects, unless the DOT determines that they are not reasonably likely to satisfy the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) project type eligibilities. This is a novel designation that provides the sponsors of these projects the opportunity to apply for TIFIA credit assistance for up to 49% of eligible project costs. Under current policy, TIFIA credit assistance is limited to 33% of eligible project costs unless the applicant provides strong rationale for requiring additional assistance. Projects designated as INFRA Extra Projects will be announced by the Secretary after INFRA award announcements are made. An INFRA Extra Project designation does not guarantee that an applicant will receive TIFIA credit assistance nor does it guarantee that any award of TIFIA credit assistance will be equal to 49% of eligible project costs. Applicant Eligibility Eligible applicants for INFRA grants include: • A state or group of states • A metropolitan planning organization that serves an Urbanized Area (as defined by the Bureau of the Census) with a population of more than 200,000 individuals • A unit of local government or group of local governments • A political subdivision of a state or local government • A special purpose district or public authority with a transportation function, including a port authority • A federal land management agency that applies jointly with a state or group of states • A tribal government or a consortium of tribal governments • A multi -State or multijurisdictional group of public entities Under the INFRA Program, DOT has defined "urban" as inside an Urbanized Area, as a designated by the U.S. Census Bureau, with a population of 200,000 or more. Click here for a list of Urbanized Areas that are considered urban for the purposes of the INFRA grant program. The Department will consider a project to be in a rural area if the majority of the project (determined by geographic location(s) where the majority of the money is to be spent) is located in a rural area. Funding In FY 2021, $889 million is available for awards. In addition to the FY 2021 INFRA funds, amounts from prior year authorizations, presently estimated at up to $150 million, may be made available and awarded under this solicitation. INFRA funds must be obligated by September 30, 2024. I ntrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) bi iit, Approximately, 10 percent of available funds are reserved for small projects, and 90 percent of funds are reserved for large projects. To qualify as a large project, the minimum grant request must be at least $25 million and the minimum project size must be the lesser of $100 million; 30 percent of a State's FY 2020 Federal -aid apportionment if the project is located in one State; or 50 percent of the larger participating State's FY 2020 apportionment for projects located in more than one State. For a small project, including both construction awards and project development awards, the grant must be at least $5 million. Previously incurred costs will be counted toward the minimum project size requirement only if they were eligible project costs and were expended as part of the project for which the applicant seeks funds. INFRA grants may be used for up to 60 percent of future eligible project costs. Other Federal assistance may satisfy the non -Federal share requirement for an INFRA grant, but total Federal assistance for a project receiving an INFRA grant may not exceed 80 percent of future eligible project costs. Non -Federal sources include State funds originating from programs funded by State revenue, local funds originating from State or local revenue -funded programs, private funds or otherfunding sources of non -Federal origins. DOT is seeking applications for projects that exceed the minimum non -Federal cost share requirement.

Project Description This section of the application is used to provide a concise description of the project, the transportation challenges that it is intended to address, and how the project will address those challenges. This section should discuss the project's history, including information on investments made to date advancing the project. Project Location This section of the application should describe the project location, including a detailed geographical description of the proposed project, a map of the project's location, and description of connections to existing transportation infrastructure. Be sure to discuss area demographics, whether the project is urban or rural, and document whether the project is in a Federally designated community development zone, such as a qualified opportunity zone, empowerment zone, promise zone, or choice neighborhood. A project located in a Federally designated community development zone is more competitive than a similar project that is not located in a Federally designated community development zone. Project Parties This section of the application should list all project parties, including details about the proposed grant recipient and other public and private parties who are involved in delivering the project. Applicants should clearly articulate roles and responsibilities of each entity identified in this section. Grant Funds, Sources and Uses of all Project Funds This section of the application should describe the budget for the INFRA project. Be sure to clearly identify previously incurred expenses and future eligible costs separately. Additionally, document the sources and uses of all funds associated with the project, including a line -item budget with contingency. This will assist DOT reviewers assess that the project costs are reasonable. Merit Criteria Criterion #1: Support for National or Regional Economic Vitality This section of the application is largely supported by the Benefit Cost Analysis (BCA) findings to document the economic impact the project will have. Other factors important to economic vitality, including how a project contributes to the creation of jobs with a choice to join a union, support for American industry through compliance with domestic preference laws, the use of project labor agreements, and local hiring requirements, will be considered in other ways. DOT will rely on quantitative, data -supported analysis to assess how well a project addresses this criterion. .,1 11 i Ni ® 6 Criterion #2: Climate Change and Environmental Justice Impacts (new) This section of the application should demonstrate whether the project has incorporated climate change and environmental justice in terms of a) planning and policy or b) design components with outcomes that address climate change. To address the planning and policies element of this criterion, the application should describe what specific climate change or environmental justice activities have been completed for this project. The application should state whether a project is incorporated in a climate action plan, whether an equitable development plan has been prepared, and whether tools such as EPA's EJSCREEN have been applied in project planning. To address the design components element of this criterion, the application should describe specific and direct ways that the project will mitigate or reduce climate change impacts. This may include a description of how the project encourages modal shift, temporal changes in asset utilization to reduce congestion, or incorporates multimodal infrastructure to reduce vehicle miles traveled, other ways that the project reduces emissions or uses technology to increase energy efficiency, incorporates resiliency measures for disaster preparedness, or recycles and enhances existing idle or dilapidated infrastructure. Criterion #3: Racial Equity and Barriers to Opportunity (new) The Department seeks to use the INFRA program to encourage racial equity in two areas: (1) planning and policies related to racial equity and barriers to opportunity; and (2) project investments that either proactively address racial equity and barriers to opportunity, including automobile dependence as a form of barrier, or redress prior inequities and barriers to opportunity. Criterion #4: Leveraging of Federal Funding This criterion will be evaluated in tandem with information provided in the Grant Funds, Sources and Uses section of the application. Clearly articulate where the required cost share is coming from and what federal funds outside of INFRA have been invested in the project to date. Provide evidence that matching funds are stable, dependable and will be available should the project be awarded. Criterion #6: Potential for Innovation This section of the application should contain sufficient information to evaluate how the project can be transformative in achieving program goals and includes or enables innovation in: (1) the accelerated deployment of innovative technology, including expanded access to broadband; (2) use of innovative permitting, contracting, and other project delivery practices; and (3) innovative financing. If the project does not address a particular innovation area, the application should state this fact. Criterion #6: Performance and Accountability In this section, applicants must describe a credible plan to address the full lifecycle costs associated with the project and implement an accountability measure. A credible plan to address full lifecycle costs should include, at a minimum, (1) an estimate of the lifecycle costs of the project; (2) an identified source of funding that will be sufficient to pay for operation and maintenance of the project; and (3) a description of controls in place to ensure the identified funding will not be diverted away from operation and maintenance. Applicants must meet at least one of three options outlined by DOT: (1) the applicant should state in the application that it agrees to meet a specific construction start and completion date and state those dates in the application; (2) the applicant should propose a specific indicator of project success that will be evident within 12 months of 6)fi aI5 ructwe loi Rebuilding AnmvIC,� (INFRA) Gfoi,ts project completion; or (3) the applicant should show that they will meet a negotiated Community Benefit Agreement or have completed an Equitable Project Assessment and will be monitoring compliance. Project Readiness In this section of the application, DOT will consider project readiness in two ways: to assess the likelihood of successful project delivery and to confirm that a project will satisfy statutory readiness requirements. Applicants must demonstrate there are no significant risks to successful obligation of funding for a project, including risks associated with environmental review, permitting, technical feasibility, funding, and capacity to manage project delivery. Applications which demonstrate mitigated risks will be considered more competitive than a comparable project with unaddressed risks. Technical Feasibility Applicants must demonstrate the technical feasibility of the project with engineering and design studies and activities; the development of design criteria and/or a basis of design; the basis for the cost estimate presented in the INFRA application, including the identification of contingency levels appropriate to its level of design; and any scope, schedule, and budget risk -mitigation measures. Be sure to include a detailed statement of work that focuses on the technical and engineering aspects of the project and describes in detail the project to be constructed. Project Schedule Provide a detailed project schedule outlining major milestones including state and local planning approvals (inclusion in the STIP), beginning and completing NEPA, design completion, right of way completion, approvals of PS&Es, procurement, and construction. All necessary pre -construction activities must be complete prior to the September 30, 2024 obligation deadline. Required Approvals Environmental Permits and Reviews. The application should demonstrate receipt (or reasonably anticipated receipt) of all environmental approvals and permits necessary for the project to proceed to construction on the timeline specified in the project schedule and necessary to meet the statutory obligation deadline, including satisfaction of all Federal, State and local requirements and completion of the NEPA process. State and Local Approvals. The applicant should demonstrate receipt of State and local approvals on which the project depends, such as State and local environmental and planning approvals and STIP or TIP funding. Additional support from relevant State and local officials is not required; however, an applicant should demonstrate that the project has broad public support. Federal Transportation Requirements Affecting State and Local Planning. Applicants should demonstrate that a project that is required to be included in the relevant State, metropolitan, and local planning documents has been or will be included in such documents. If the project is not included in a relevant planning document at the time the application is submitted, the applicant should submit a statement from the appropriate planning agency that actions are underway to include the project in the relevant planning document. Assessment of Project Risks and Mitigation Strategies Applicants must identify all material risks to the project and the strategies that the lead applicant and any project partners have undertaken or will undertake to mitigate those risks. This includes project risks, such as procurement delays, environmental uncertainties, increases in real estate acquisition costs, uncommitted local match, or lack of legislative approval. Be sure to include how these risks affect the likelihood of successful project start and completion. Applicants are encouraged to contact USDOT modal field or headquarters offices to ensure that their project schedule is reasonable and that there are no risks of delays in satisfying Federal requirements. Large/Small Project Requirements To select a large project for award, the Department must determine that the project—as a whole, as well as each independent component of the project–satisfies several statutory requirements. Applicants should use this section of the application to summarize how their project and, if present, each independent project component, meets each of the following requirements. Applicants are not required to reproduce the table below in their application but following this format will help evaluators identify the relevant information that supports each large project determination. Supporting information provided in appendices may be referenced. Does the project generate national or regional economic, mobility, or safety benefits? Is the project cost effective? Summarize the economic, mobility, and safety benefits of the project and independent project components and describe the scale of their impact in national or regional terms. Refer reviewer to the Economic Vitality criterion. Highlight the results of the benefit cost analysis, as well as the analyses of independent project components if applicable. Refer reviewer to the Economic Vitality criterion.

The Department will base its determination on the project's benefits as assessed according to the Economic Vitality criterion. Infras true twc fa Reb,,i Udine Anwo irr (II'd FIRA) 6rents 0 gD Describe the potential negative impacts on the proposed project if the INFRA grant (or other Federal funding) was not awarded. Respond to the following: • How would the project scope be affected if INFRA (or other Federal funds) were not received? • How would the project schedule be affected if INFRA (or other Federal funds) were not Is it the case that the project cannot be easily and received? • efficiently completed without other Federal funding or How would the project cost be affected if financial assistance available to the project sponsor? INFRA (or other Federal funds) were not received? If there are no negative impacts to the project scope, schedule, or budget if INFRA funds are not received, state that explicitly. Impacts to a portfolio of projects will not satisfy this requirement; please describe only project specific impacts. Re -stating the project's importance for national or regional economic, mobility, or safety will not satisfy this requirement For a small project to be selected, the Department must consider the cost effectiveness of the proposed project and the effect of the proposed project on mobility in the State and region in which the project is carried out. If an applicant seeks an award for a small project, it should use this section to provide information on the project's cost effectiveness and the project's effect on the mobility in its State and region or refer to where else the information can be found in the application. Benefit Cost Analysis Applicants should delineate each of their project's expected outcomes in the form of a complete BCA to enable the Department to consider cost-effectiveness (small projects), determine whether the project will be cost effective (large projects), estimate a benefit -cost ratio and calculate the magnitude of net benefits and costs for the project. In support of each project for which an applicant seeks funding, the applicant should submit a BCA that quantifies the expected benefits and costs of the project against a no -build baseline. Applicants should use a real discount rate (i.e., the discount rate net of the inflation rate) of 7 percent per year to discount streams of benefits and costs to their present value in their BCA. The primary economic benefits from projects eligible for INFRA grants are likely to include savings in travel time costs, vehicle operating costs, and safety costs for both existing users of the improved facility and new users who may be attracted to it as a result of the project. Reduced damages from vehicle emissions and savings in maintenance costs to public agencies may also be quantified. Applicants may describe other categories of benefits in the BCA that are more difficult to quantify and value in economic terms, such as improving the reliability of travel times or improvements to the existing human and natural environments (such as increased connectivity, improved public health, storm water runoff mitigation, and noise reduction), I i ticture for Rebuilding Ameiicr. (INFRA) Gr;,nt, while also providing numerical estimates of the magnitude and timing of each of these additional impacts wherever possible. Any benefits claimed for the project, both quantified and unquantified, should be clearly tied to the expected outcomes of the project. The BCA should include the full costs of developing, constructing, operating, and maintaining the proposed project (including both previously incurred and future costs), as well as the expected timing or schedule for costs in each of these categories. The BCA may also consider the present discounted value of any remaining service life of the asset at the end of the analysis period (net of future maintenance and rehabilitation costs) as a deduction from the estimated costs. The costs and benefits that are compared in the BCA should also cover the same project scope. The BCA should carefully document the assumptions and methodology used to produce the analysis, including a description of the baseline, the sources of data used to project the outcomes of the project, and the values of key input parameters. Applicants should provide all relevant files used for their BCA, including any spreadsheet files and technical memos describing the analysis (whether created in-house or by a contractor). The spreadsheets and technical memos should present the calculations in sufficient detail and transparency to allow the analysis to be reproduced by DOT evaluators. Additional BCA guidance can be found here. KITTITAS COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS PUBLIC WORKS — BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS STUDY SESSION STAFF REPORT STUDY SESSION DATE: March 8, 2021 TOPIC: Thompson Park Milfoil Treatment Donation ACTION REQUESTED: Direct Staff LEAD STAFF: Mark R. Cook and Marc Eylar RECOMMENDATION: Accept the donation from AquaTechnex to apply ProcellaCor to the pond at Thompson Park and direct staff manage the application effort. BRIEFING SUMMARY: • Eurasian water milfoil is a Class B noxious weed designated for control in bodies of water with public access in Kittitas County and the pond at Thompson Park has become heavily infested with milfoil. • Noxious Weed has been contacted by Mr. Terry McNabb from AquaTechnex who is offering to donate an application of the herbicide ProcellaCor for milfoil treatment • Staff time (Noxious Weed) is anticipated for conducting the application effort. BACKGROUND: Last year Naneum Pond was renamed to Thompson Park honoring Sheriff Deputy Ryan Thompson. An attempt at manually controlling the milfoil was conducted last year as well. Herbicide treatment of the milfoil is highly recommended by the Noxious Weed Board. Terry McNabb, owner of the aquatic vegetation management company AquaTechnex, is offering to donate an application of the effective herbicide ProcellaCor to control the milfoil infestation. DISCUSSION: The herbicide is likely to achieve significant milfoil reduction in the pond. The treatment application can be managed by Noxious Weed employee Marc Eylar with assistance from Public Works (PW). PW desires assisting Mr. Eylar attempting to eradicate the milfoil from the pond at Thompson Park. FISCAL IMPACTS: None anticipated.

The active ingredient is 2-pyridinecarboxylic acid, 4-amino- 3-chloro-6-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl )- 5 -fluoro-, phenyl methyl ester. The current Wisconsin -registered formulation is a liquid (ProcellaCORTm EC) solely manufactured by SePRO Corporation. Aquatic Use and Considerations Florpyrauxifen-benzyl is a systemic herbicide that is taken up by aquatic plants. The herbicide is a member of a new class of synthetic auxins, the arylpicolinates, that differ in binding affinity compared to other currently registered synthetic auxins. The herbicide mimics the plant growth hormone auxin that causes excessive elongation of plant cells that ultimately kills the plant. Susceptible plants will show a mixture of atypical growth (larger, twisted leaves, stem elongation) and fragility of leaf and shoot tissue. Initial symptoms will be displayed within hours to a few days after treatment with plant death and decomposition occurring over 2 — 3 weeks. Florpyrauxifen- benzyl should be applied to plants that are actively growing; mature plants may require a higher concentration of herbicide and a longer contact time compared to smaller, less established plants. Florpyrauxifen-benzyl has relatively short contact exposure time (CET) requirements (12 — 24 hours typically). The short required CET may be advantageous for localized treatments of submersed aquatic plants, however, the target species efficacy compared to the size of the treatment area is not yet known. In Wisconsin, Florpyrauxifen-benzyl may be used to treat the invasive Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum) and hybrid Eurasian watermilfoil (M. spicatum X M. sibiricum). Other invasive species such as floating hearts (Nymphoides spp.) are also susceptible. In other parts of the country, it is used as a selective, systemic mode of action for spot and partial treatment of the invasive plant hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata). Desirable native species that may also be negatively affected include waterlily species (Nymphaea spp. and Nuphar spp.), pickerelweed (Pontederia cordata), and arrowhead (Sagiffaria spp.). It is important to note that repeated use of herbicides with the same mode of action can lead to herbicide -resistant plants, even in aquatic plants. Certain hybrid Eurasian watermilfoil genotypes have been documented to have reduced sensitivity to aquatic herbicides. In order to reduce the risk of developing resistant genotypes, avoid using the same type of herbicides year after year, and utilize effective, integrated pest management strategies as part of any long-term control program. Post -Treatment Water Use Restrictions There are no restrictions on swimming, eating fish from treated waterbodies, or using water for drinking water. There is no restriction on irrigation of turf. Before treated water can be used for non-agricultural irrigation besides turf (such as shoreline property use including irrigation of residential landscape plants and homeowner gardens, golf course irrigation, and non-residential property irrigation around business or industrial properties), follow precautionary waiting periods based on rate and scale of application, or monitor herbicide concentrations until below 2 ppb. For agricultural crop irrigation, use analytical monitoring to confirm dissipation before irrigating. The latest approved herbicide product label should be referenced relative to irrigation requirements.

Page 2 Florpyrauxifen-benzyl Chemical Fact Sheet Herbicide Degradation, Persistence and Trace Contaminants Florpyrauxifen-benzyl is broken down quickly in the water by light (i.e., photolysis) and is also subject to microbial breakdown and hydrolysis. It has a half-life (the time it takes for half of the active ingredient to degrade) ranging from 1 — 6 days. Shallow clear -water lakes will lead to faster degradation than turbid, shaded, or deep lakes. Florpyrauxifen-benzyl breaks down into five major degradation products. These materials are generally more persistent in water than the active herbicide (up to 3 week half-lives) but four of these are minor metabolites detected at less than 5% of applied active ingredient. EPA concluded no hazard concern for metabolites and/or degradates of Florpyrauxifen-benzyl that may be found in drinking water, plants, and livestock. Florpyrauxifen-benzyl binds tightly with surface sediments, so leaching into groundwater is unlikely. Degradation products are more mobile, but aquatic field dissipation studies showed minimal detection of these products in surface sediments. Impacts on Fish and Other Aquatic Organisms Toxicity tests conducted with rainbow trout, fathead minnow, water fleas (Daphnia sp.), amphipods (Gammarus sp.), and snails (Lymnaea sp.) indicate that florpyrauxifen-benzyl is not toxic for these species. EPA concluded florpyrauxifen-benzyl has no risk concerns for non -target wildlife and is considered "practically non-toxic" to bees, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and mammals. Florpyrauxifen-benzyl does not bioaccumulate in fish or freshwater clams due to rapid metabolism and chemical depuration. Human Health EPA has identified no risks of concern to human health since no adverse acute or chronic effects, including a lack of carcinogenicity or mutagenicity, were observed in the submitted toxicological studies for florpyrauxifen-benzyl regardless of the route of exposure. EPA concluded with reasonable certainty that drinking water exposures to florpyrauxifen- benzyl do not pose a significant human health risk.

Water bodies containing very high plant density should be treated in sections to prevent the potential suffocation of fish. Consult with the State agency for fish and game before applying to public waters to determine if a permit is needed. DIRECTIONS FOR USE It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Read all Directions for Use carefully before applying. Do not appy this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation. Shake well before using PRODUCT INFORMATION ProcellaCOR EC is a selective systemic herbicide for management of freshwater aquatic vegetation in slow-moving/quiescent waters with little or no continuous outflow: ponds, lakes, reservoirs, freshwater marshes, wetlands, bayous, drainage ditches, and non -irrigation canals, including shoreline and riparian areas in or adjacent to these sites. Also for management of invasive freshwater aquatic vegetation in slow-moving/quiescent areas of rivers (coves, oxbows or similar sites). Apply ProcellaCOR EC directly into water or spray onto emergent foliage of aquatic plants. Depending upon method of application and target plant, ProcellaCOR EC is absorbed by aquatic vascular plants through emergent or floating leaves and from water through submersed plant shoots and leaves. In -water treatments are effective in spot and partial treatment designs with relatively short exposure times (hours to several days). Species susceptibility to ProcellaCOR EC may vary depending upon time of year, stage of growth, and water movement. For best results, apply to actively growing plants. However, effective control can be achieved over a broad range of growth stages and environmental conditions. Application to mature target plants may require higher application rates and longer exposure periods to achieve control. Resistance Management ProcellaCOR EC is classified as a WSSA Group 4 Herbicide (HRAC Group O). Weed populations may contain or develop biotypes that are resistant to ProcellaCOR EC and other Group 4 herbicides. If herbicides with the same mode of action are used repeatedly at the same site, resistant biotypes may eventually dominate the weed population and may not be controlled by these products. Unless ProcellaCOR EC is used as part of an eradication program or in a plant management system where weed escapes are aggressively controlled, do not use ProcellaCOR EC alone in the same treatment area for submersed and emergent plant control for more than 2 consecutive years, unless used in combination or rotated with an herbicide with an alternate mode of action. To further delay herbicide resistance consider taking one or more of the following steps: • Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use is permitted; Consult your local extension service or SePRO Corporation if you are unsure as to which active ingredient is currently less prone to resistance. • Adopt an integrated weed -management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and uses historical information related to herbicide use, and that considers other management practices. • Scout after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance development. Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include: (1) failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2) a spreading patch of non -controlled plants of a particular weed species; (3) surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. If resistance is suspected, prevent weed seed production in the affected area by using an alternative herbicide from a different group or by a mechanical method that minimizes plant fragmentation. • If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, switch to another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if available. • Contact your local extension specialist or SePRO Corporation for additional pesticide resistance -management and/or integrated weed -management recommendations for specific weed biotypes. Stewardship Guidelines For Use Apply this product in compliance with Best Management Practices (BMP) that include site assessment, prescription, and implementation. BMP have been developed to ensure accurate applications, minimize risk of resistance development, and monitor concentrations in water to document levels needed for optimal performance and manage potential irrigation use. SePRO Corporation will work with applicators and resource managers to implement BMP for application and monitoring to meet management objectives and ensure compatibility with potential water uses.

Consult a SePRO Aquatic Specialist for additional site-specific recommendations. Susceptible Plants Do not apply where spray drift may occur to food, forage, or other plantings that might be damaged. Spray drift may damage or render crops unfit for sale, use or consumption. Small amounts of spray drift that may not be visible may injure susceptible broadleaf plants. Before making a foliar or surface spray application, please refer to your state's sensitive crop registry (if available) to identify any commercial specialty or certified organic crops that may be located nearby. At the time of a foliar or surface spray application, the wind cannot be blowing toward adjacent cotton, carrots, soybeans, conn, grain sorghum, wheat, grapes, tobacco, vegetable crops, flowers, ornamental shrubs or trees, or other desirable broadleaf plants. Spray Drift Management Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment- and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. The following drift management requirements must be followed to limit off -target drift movement from aerial applications: Aerial Application: • Aerial applicators must use a minimum finished spray volume of 15 gallons per acre. • Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 to 10 mph. Do not apply below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high potential for temperature inversion. Do not apply in wind speeds greater than 10 mph. • To minimize spray drift from aerial application, apply with a nozzle class that ensures coarse or coarser spray (according to ASABE S572) at spray boom pressure no greater than 30 psi. • The distance of the outer most operating nozzles on the boom must not exceed 70% of wingspan or 80% of rotor diameter. • Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees. • Do not apply under conditions of a low-level air temperature inversion. • The maximum release height must be 10 feet from the top of the weed canopy, unless a greater application height is required for pilot safety. Evaluate spray pattern and droplet size distribution by applying sprays containing a water-soluble dye marker or appropriate drift control agents over a paper tape (adding machine tape). Mechanical flagging devices may also be used. Do not apply under conditions of a low-level air temperature inversion. A temperature inversion is characterized by little or no wind and lower air temperature near the ground than at higher levels. The behavior of smoke generated by an aircraft -mounted device or continuous smoke column released at or near site of application will indicate the direction and velocity of air movement. A temperature inversion is indicated by layering of smoke at some level above the ground and little or no lateral movement. Ground Application • Ground applicators must use a minimum finished spray volume of 10 gallons per acre. • To minimize spray drift from ground application, apply with a nozzle class that ensures coarse or coarser spray (according to ASABE S572). • For boom spraying, the maximum release height is 36 inches from the soil for ground applications. • Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed. The applicator should be familiar with, and take into account the information covered in the following Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory (this information is advisory in nature and does not supersede mandatory label requirements.) Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information on Droplet Size: The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions). Controlling Droplet Size: • Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. • Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's specified pressures. For many nozzle types, lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure. • Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage. • Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the air stream produces larger droplets than other orientations. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential. • Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low -drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift. Boom Length: To further reduce drift without reducing swath width, boom must not exceed 70% of wingspan or 80% of rotor diameter. Application Height: Do not make applications at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the largest plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. Swath Adjustment: When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.). Wind: Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 to 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type, determine drift potential at any given speed. Do not make applications below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. Do not apply in wind speeds greater than 10 mph. Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift. Temperature and Humidity: When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. Temperature Inversions: Do not apply during a local, low level temperature inversion because drift potential is high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with attitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of the smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. USE DIRECTIONS ProcellaCOR EC performance and selectivity may depend on dosage, time of year, stage of growth, method of application, and water movement. Aquatic Plants Controlled: In -Water Application Table 3 lists the expected susceptible species under favorable treatment conditions for aquatic plant control.

To dilute with water, it is recommended to fill the spray tank to one-half full with water. Start agitation. Add correct quantity of ProcellaCOR EC. Continue agitation while filling spray tank to required volume and during application. Foliar Application to Floating and Emergent Weeds Dilute PmcellaCOR EC with water to achieve proper coverage of treated plants. To dilute with water, it is recommended to fill spray tank to one-half full with water. Start agitation. A surfactant must be used with all post -emergent foliar applications. Use only surfactants that are approved or appropriate for aquatic use. For best performance, a methylated seed oil (MSO) surfactant is recommended. Read and follow all use directions and precautions on aquatic surfactant label. After adding PmcellaCOR EC and surfactant, continue agitation while filling spray tank to required volume and during application. TANK -CLEANOUT INSTRUCTIONS ProcellaCOR EC should be fully cleaned from application equipment prior to use for other applications. Contact a SePRO Aquatic Specialist for guidance on methods for thorough cleaning of application equipment after use of the product. APPLICATION METHODS In -Water Application to Submersed or Floating Aquatic Weeds ProcellaCOR EC can be applied via trailing hose, by sub -surface injection, or surface spray as an in -water application to control weeds such as hydrilla, floating heart, water hyacinth, and other susceptible weed species. This product has relatively short exposure requirements for in -water treatments (hours to days), but treatments with high exchange and short exposure periods should be carefully planned to achieve best results. Where greater plant selectivity is desired - such as when controlling hydrilla or other more susceptible species, choose a lower dose in the specified range. A SePRO Aquatic Specialist can provide site-specific prescriptions for optimal control based on target weed, management objectives, and site conditions. Apply ProcellaCOR EC to the treatment area at a prescription dose unit (PDU) to achieve appropriate concentrations. A PDU is a unit of measure that facilitates the calculation of the amount of product required to control target plants in 1 acre-foot of water or 1 acre for foliar applications. Per Table 5 below, 1-25 PDU are needed to treat 1 acre-foot of water, depending on target species and the percent of waterbody to be treated. Use Table 5 to select the dose needed to treat 1 acre-foot of water. TABLE 5: Prescription Dose Units (PDU**) per acre-foot of water* Percent Area of Waterbody Treated Eurasian Watermilfoil Ta et Species Hybrid Variable Leaf Watermilfoil Watermilfoil Other 52% 3-4 4-5 3-5 3-25 >2-10% 2-3 3-5 3-4 3-20 >10-20% 1-3 3-4 2-4 3-15 >20-30% 1-2 2-3 2-3 2-10 >30% 1-2 2-3 1-2 1-5 In all cases, user may apply up to the maximum of 25 PDU per acre-foot. Consult your SePRO Aquatics Specialist for site-specific recommendations. " 1 PDU contains 3.17 fl. oz. of product. To calculate the amount of product needed in fluid ounces, use the formula below: Number of acres X average depth (feet) X PDU' X 3.17 = fluid ounces ': from Table 5 Example Calculation: To control hybrid watermilfoil in 2 acres of a 5 -acre lake (>30% treated) with an average depth of 2 feet: 2 acres X 2 feet X 3 PDU X 3.17=38.04 fl. oz. For in -water applications, the maximum single application is 25.0 PDU / acre-foot, with a limit of three applications per year. Allow 14 days or greater between applications. Product may be applied as a concentrate or diluted with water prior to or during the application process. Use an appropriate application method that ensures sufficiently uniform application to the treated area. Foliar Application to Floating and Emergent Weeds Apply PmcellaCOR EC as a foliar application to control weeds such as water hyacinth, water primrose, and other susceptible floating and emergent species. Use an application method that maximizes spray interception by target weeds while minimizing the amount of overspray that inadvertently enters the water. For all foliar applications, apply ProcellaCOR EC at 5.0 to 10.0 PDU per acre. Use of a surfactant is required for all foliar applications of ProcellaCOR EC. Use only surfactants that are approved or appropriate for aquatic use. Methylated seed soil (MSO) is a recommended surfactant and is typically applied at 1.0% volume/volume. Refer to the surfactant label for use directions. For best results, apply to actively growing weeds. ProcellaCOR EC may be applied more than once per growing season to meet management objectives. Do not exceed 10.0 PDU per acre during any individual application or 20.0 PDU total per acre, per year from all combined treatments. Foliar Spot Treatment To prepare the spray solutions, thoroughly mix PmellaCOR EC in water at a ratio of 5.0 to 10.0 PDU per 100 gallons (0.12 to 0.24% product) plus an adjuvant. For best results, a methylated seed oil at 1 % volume/volume is the recommended spray adjuvant. When making spot application, ensure spray coverage is sufficient to wet the leaves of the target vegetation but not to the point of runoff. Aerial Foliar Application to Floating and Emergent Weeds Apply ProcellaCOR EC in a spray volume of 15 gallons per acre (GPA) or more when making a post -emergence application by air. Apply with coarse to coarser droplet category per S-572 ASABE standard; see NAAA, USDA or nozzle manufacturer guidelines. Follow guidelines and restrictions in the Spray Drift Management and Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory sections to minimize potential drift to off -target vegetation.
