This came to me from someone else who researched the herbicide.

Tordon has a complex history. The product as used in
Gagetown had another ingredient which is no longer there.
However=2C if you read the instructions which come with the
product they do emphasize how critical it is not to get it
into the acquifer and water supply.

The person on our end who spoke to the Nova Scotia Power Corporation said t=
hat Picloram gets into the groundwater=2C but he didn't address that issue=
=2C but tried to steer her back to talking about 24D=2C and how Tordon - wh=
ich has both chemicals - doesn't kill grass "(no wonder=2C it's a broad-lea=
f herbicide!)"
