* Carbofuran (Furadan) is a chemical which can travel (seep or leach) through
soil and can contaminate ground water which may be used as drinking water.
Carbofuran has been found in ground water as a result of agricultural use.
Users are advised not to apply carbofuran where the water table (ground water)
is close to the surface and where the soils are very permeable, i.e.,
well-drained soils such as loamy sands.  Your local agricultural agencies can
provide further information on the type of soil in your area and the location
of ground water.
