Since,toxaphene is extremely toxic to fish, a major ~ange~ ion 'lar.d-sp~eading :the spent toxaphene,dips is surface run-off ,,;-:., ::;". water carrying toxaphene bearing particulate matter into surface water. Therefore I it is necessary th&t the fol'lowing criteria for selection ~f the dis~osal site be observed.

1. Flow of water onto the site should be controlled. If this is a potential problem, a system should be deSigned, constructed and operated that is capable of preventing flo~ onto the disposal area during peak discharge from at least a 25 year storm.

2. The site should bEi '~{elected so t!lat' surface run-off will be held to a minimum.', Soil loss to 'surface erosion
