Abstract

Stream pollution has not resulted from removing and chemically spraying vegetation at the bottom of Monroe Canyon on the San Dimas Experimental Forest. The riparian zone and intermediate slopes were handsprayed several times with a mixture of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T herbicide. In another study, brush on side slopes was cut and sprayed. Soil samples taken the first month after treatment showed no traces of herbicides.
