Abstract:Previous studies by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) have established that many different herbicides can be found in small Willamette Valley streams. Several of the compounds detected in those studies were known to be used by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) as part of its integrated vegetation management (IVM) plan to control roadside vegetation. The purpose of this study was to assess whether the use of herbicides in IVM programs could be a significant contributor to the load of herbicides carried by streams in Oregon.
