Subject: [USCC] New Herbicide-Imprelis

Received this comment to our website:

There is a new herbicide from DuPont (Imprelis). On the label it states "do
not allow clippings for collection to compost facilities. This compound is
very similar to the herbicide Clopyralid. At DuPont training meetings they
avoid the issue and when confronted they say that no one will enforce the
label prohibition. I remember the problem that Clopyralid caused and this
seems like a repeat of the problem. Is the compost council aware of this
herbicide? Are the state regulators aware of the potential problems this
cause?

If anyone has more information we'd like to hear about it.

Thanks,
Cary
