Do you know hat a "Limited Spray Area" is?

Limited-Spray areas are those in which spraying is restricted to either one annual application (one-year limited spray), or one application in 24 months (2-year limited spray), of an herbicide through low pressure foliar techniques. These limited spray areas consist of the following areas when they are within a right-of-way and within:

(a) any Zone II or Interim Wellhead Protection Area;
(b) between 100 and 400 feet from any Class A Surface Water Source;
(c) between ten and 200 feet of any tributary or associated surface water body where the tributary or associated surface water body runs outside the Zone A for the Class A surface water source;
(d) a lateral distance of between 100 and 200 feet for 400 feet upstream, on both sides of the river, of a Class B Drinking Water Intake;
(e) a distance of between 50 and 100 feet of any identified Private Well;
(f) a distance of between 10 and 100 feet of any Wetlands or Water Over Wetlands;
(g) a distance of between ten feet from the mean annual high water line of any
river and the outer boundary of the Riverfront Area;
(h) a distance of between ten feet from any Certified Vernal Pool and the outer boundary of any Certified Vernal Pool Habitat; and
(i) a distance of 100 feet of any Agricultural or Inhabited Area.
