The AFS’s Fish Management Chemicals Committee, in cooperation with the rotenone registrants and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, developed the 2nd edition of the Manual. The Manual is considered labeling and must be present along with the label at the project work site. The revised Manual contains four chapters, beginning with an expanded introduction that contains up-to-date information and references on the environmental fate, fish and wildlife toxicity, and public health studies on rotenone, and product stewardship concepts to reduce environmental impacts. The second chapter provides general guidance on streamlined project planning procedures, and the third chapter contains a summary of various sampling and analytical techniques used to monitor potential impacts on the aquatic environment. The fourth chapter contains reformatted and easier to read Standard Operating Procedures that complement the label directions including the partial/selective treatment of lakes, treatment of upwelling groundwater that confound treatments, and determining the connectivity of surface and groundwater when sampling of wells is required.
