Table 14 Quantity of the Most Common Pesticides Registered in Virginia’s Clean Sweep Program from 1992 through 2000A Uindicates that the pesticide is currently registered, a hazardous waste when disposed, a persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT) chemical, or an organophosphate OP.Pesticide 1,2Weight(pounds)% of AllPesticidesCurrentlyRegisteredHaz Wastewhen DisposedPBT OP Pesticide1,2 Weight(pounds)% of AllPesticidesDDT 16,069 2.96 U U lime sulfur 4,233 0. 78 UCurrentlyRegisteredHaz Wastewhen DisposedPBTOPSection 3462,4-D 14,976 2.76 U U chlorothalonil 4,119 0. 76 Udinoseb 14,282 2.63 U pendimethalin 3,985 0. 73 Usulfur 14,162 2.61 U pentachlorophenol 3,959 0. 73 U U U *toxaphene 13,824 2.54 U U chlorypyrifos 3,691 0. 68 U Ucarbofuran 13,745 2.53 U U ethylene dibromide 3,666 0. 67 Ucaptan 12,380 2.28 U benefin 3,564 0. 66 Uatrazine 11,821 2.17 U metolachlor 4 3,427 0. 63 Uvernolate 9,044 1. 66 2,4,5-T 3,400 0. 63 U U *carbaryl 8,935 1. 64 U U linuron 3,280 0. 60 Umalathion 7,441 1. 37 U U methomyl 3,004 0. 55 U UPCNB 7,357 1. 35 U methyl parathion 2,917 0. 54 U U Uchlordane 7,274 1. 34 U U methoxychlor 2,879 0. 53 U Ulead arsenate 7,109 1. 31 U aldicarb 2,859 0. 53 U Utrifluralin 6,892 1. 27 U paraquat 2,844 0. 52 Udiazinon 6,741 1. 24 U U lindane 2,818 0. 52 U UClean Sweep Program Resultspyrethrins 6,482 1. 19 U aldrin 2,801 0. 52 U Ubutylate 6,450 1. 19 U ferbam 2,749 0. 51 Ucreosote 6,376 1. 17 U U heptachlor 2,713 0. 50 Ualachlor 6,090 1. 12 U mancozeb 2,636 0. 49 Uparathion 3 5,604 1. 03 U U U sodium dalapon 2,519 0. 46ethoprop 5,581 1. 03 U U DDD (= TDE) 2,492 0. 46 U Usimazine 5,474 1. 01 U EPTC 2,484 0. 46 Uendrin 5,458 1. 00 U phorate 2,455 0. 45 U U Ufonofos 5,250 0. 97 U profluralin 2,288 0. 42silvex 4,972 0. 91 U U * carboxin 2,245 0. 41 Ucopper sulfate 4,769 0. 88 U zineb 2,204 0. 41propionic acid 4,740 0. 87 U terbufos 2,033 0. 37 U Uformaldehyde 4,644 0. 85 U U ALL PESTICIDES 543,499 ---Notes: (*) Dioxins are Level 1 PBTs and the pesticides 2,4,5-T, Silvex, pentachlorophenol and ronnel potentially contain dioxins, although these pesticides are not listed as Level 1 PBTs per se.(1) The weight includes the amount of the pesticide as the only active ingredient and as one of several active ingredients if it was listed first. For example, the entry for DDT includes 14,845 pounds of DDT and 1,224 pounds of DDT and at least oneother active ingredient, e.g., DDT+captan+parathion. It is important to note that there were relatively large amounts of some the combinations, including but not limited to 3,200 pounds of trifluralin+benefin (included with trifluralin); 2,507 pounds ofatrazine+metolachlor (included with atrazine); 2,500 pounds of toxaphene+DDT+parathion (included with toxaphene); and 2,274 pounds of toxaphene+DDT (included with toxaphene).(2) The table lists the 57 pesticides in Virginia’s database with the largest registered volumes. Only specific pesticides were listed in this table. The information registered with Virginia also includes 59,383 pounds of “unknown”, 3,493 pounds of“insecticide” and 1,800 pounds of “herbicide”.(3) Cancellation order effective September 13, 2001. Use of existing stocks of end-use products will not be lawful under FIFRA as of October 31, 2003.(4) The original registrant for metolachlor is no longer supporting its registration, and it is uncertain whether an alternative registrant will be granted registration. S-metolachlor, an enriched S-isomer of metolachor, was registered in 1997 for thesame uses as that of (racemic) metolachlor, and is currently registered.
